Publication number: 20130276172Abstract: A transgenic crop plant transformed by a 1-AminoCyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Deaminase-like Polypeptide (ACCDP) coding nucleic acid, wherein expression of the nucleic acid sequence in the crop plant results in the plant's increased root growth, and/or increased yield, and/or increased tolerance to environmental stress as compared to a wild type variety of the plant. Also provided are agricultural products, including seeds, produced by the transgenic crop plants. Also provided are isolated novel ACCDPs, and isolated novel nucleic acids encoding ACCDPs, and vectors and transgenic plant containing the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2011Publication date: October 17, 2013Applicant: BASF Plant Science GmbHInventors: Rodrigo Sarria-Millan, Eric R. Garr, Jamie Haertel, Damian Allen, Bryan McKersie

Publication number: 20130269056Abstract: Transgenic seed for crops with improved traits are provided by trait-improving recombinant DNA in the nucleus of cells of the seed where plants grown from such transgenic seed exhibit one or more improved traits as compared to a control plant. Of particular interest are transgenic plants that have increased yield. The present invention also provides recombinant DNA molecules for expression of a protein, and recombinant DNA molecules for suppression of a protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2013Publication date: October 10, 2013Inventors: Barry S.
