The Polynucleotide Alters Carbohydrate Production In The Plant Patents (Class 800/284)
  • Publication number: 20150089688
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for inducing gene silencing events in plants are disclosed. The compositions typical include a polynucleotide encoding an miRNA target sequence operably linked to a sequence of from a target gene, cDNA or mRNA, or fragment thereof. When expressed in the presence of an miRNA specific for the miRNA target sequence the compositions can induce production of trans-acting siRNA that silence the target of interest. Transgenic plants and preferred plant pathways that can be targeted using the disclosed methods and compositions are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The subject invention pertains to novel mutant polynucleotide molecules that encode enzymes that have increased heat stability. These polynucleotides, when expressed in plants, result in increased yield in plants grown under conditions of heat stress. The polynucleotide molecules of the subject invention encode maize endosperm ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) and soluble starch synthase (SSS) enzyme activities. Plants and plant tissue bred to contain, or transformed with, the mutant polynucleotides, and expressing the polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides, are also contemplated by the present invention. The subject invention also concerns methods for isolating polynucleotides and polypeptides contemplated within the scope of the invention. Methods for increasing yield in plants grown under conditions of heat stress are also provided.
