Publication number: 20150007362Abstract: The relationship between F-box proteins and proteins involved in the ethylene response in plants is described. In particular, F-box proteins may bind to proteins involved in the ethylene response and target them for degradation by the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. The transcription factor EIN3 is a key transcription factor mediating ethylene-regulated gene expression and morphological responses. EIN3 is degraded through a ubiquitin/proteasome pathway mediated by F-box proteins EBF1 and EBF2. The link between F-box proteins and the ethylene response is a key step in modulating or regulating the response of a plant to ethylene. Described herein are transgenic plants having an altered sensitivity to ethylene, and methods for making transgenic plant having an altered sensitivity to ethylene by modulating the level of activity of F-box proteins. Methods of altering the ethylene response in a plant by modulating the activity or expression of an F-box protein are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2013Publication date: January 1, 2015Applicant: Salk Institute for Biological StudiesInventors: Hongwei Guo, Joseph R.

Publication number: 20140096292Abstract: The invention provides methods of inhibiting the growth of a shoot apical meristem of a cucurbit rootstock plant, comprising contacting a shoot apical meristem of the cucurbit rootstock plant with an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more fatty alcohols, thereby inhibiting the growth of the shoot apical meristem of the cucurbit rootstock plant. The present invention further provides methods for preparing and producing cucurbit rootstock plants for grafting and methods for grafting. Additionally provided are cucurbit rootstock plants and plant parts and grafted cucurbit plants produced by the methods of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicants: Clemson University, Syngenta Participations AGInventors: Richard Hassell, James Brusca, Xingping Zhang, Shawna Daley

Publication number: 20140082761Abstract: The present invention describes an approach to increase plant growth and production. The invention describes methods for the use of functional sulfinoalanine decarboxylase (SAD) or the promiscuous enzyme activity of SAD in plants or algal cells. Transgenic plants will have increased plant growth, biomass, yield, and/or tolerance to biotic and/or abiotic stresses and could be used as a pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or as a supplement in animal feed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2012Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: PLANT SENSORY SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Frank J. Turano, Kathleen A. Turano

Publication number: 20140068812Abstract: The present invention discloses regulatory sequences, promoters and terminators, and their use in plants. The regulatory sequences can be used to make gene constructs that include a gene not natively associated with the regulatory sequences. Methods to use the regulatory sequences with antisense constructs or functional RNAs are disclosed. Methods to use the regulatory sequences, promoter or terminator, independently of each other are also disclosed. Methods to use the regulatory sequences to improve plant growth and production such as increased biomass, increased yield and increased tolerance to abiotic or biotic stresses are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2012Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: PLANT SENSORY SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Frank J. Turano, Kathleen A. Turano
