| 20090144863 | Expression Enhancing Intron Sequences - The invention relates to methods for the identification and use of introns with gene expression enhancing properties. The teaching of this invention enables the identification of introns causing intron-mediated enhancement (IME) of gene expression. The invention furthermore relates to recombinant expression construct and vectors comprising said IME-introns operably linked with a promoter sequence and a nucleic acid sequence. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants and plant cells transformed with these recombinant expression constructs or vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation material derived there from, and to the use of same for the preparation of foodstuffs, animal feeds, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, to improve plant biomass, yield, or provide desirable phenotypes. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090293148 | Improved Methods Controlling Gene Expression - The present invention is in the field of genetics, especially plant genetics, and provides agents capable of controlling gene expression. The present invention specifically provides sequences of naturally occurring, tissue-specifically expressed microRNAs. The invention further provides for transgenic expression constructs comprising sequences encoding said microRNAs. By incorporation of the microRNA encoding sequence the expression from said expression construct is specifically silenced in the tissue where the naturally occurring microRNA is naturally expressed. Thereby the expression profile resulting from the promoter is modulated and leakiness is reduced. The invention further provides for a method for modulating transgenic expression by incorporating sequences encoding said microRNAs into transgenic expression constructs. The compositions and methods of the invention can be used to enhance performance of agricultural relevant crops and for therapy, prophylaxis, research and diagnostics in diseases and disorders, which afflict mammalian species. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100162428 | Method Of Excising A Nucleic Acid Sequence From A Plant Genome - The present invention relates to a method for excising a nucleic acid sequence from the genome of a plant or a plant cell. This method is based on the steps of transforming a plant cell with a construct encoding a DNA double strand break inducing enzyme (DSBI), generating a transgenic plant line, performing a transient assay to analyze the functionality of the transgenic enzyme, crossing the plant line with a line containing a nucleic acid sequence to be excised and performing an immature embryo conversion or a tissue culture regeneration through callus formation. The method can also be reversed, which means that a plant cell is transformed with a construct encoding a nucleic acid sequence to be excised, and the crossing is performed with a plant line containing a DSBI. As an alternative to the crossing step, a re-transformation of a transgenic plant line with a second construct can also be performed. The invention is also directed to a plant obtained by this method, or progeny, propagation material, part, tissue, cell or cell culture, derived from such a plant. Finally, the invention relates to the use of a plant or progeny, propagation material, part, tissue, cell or cell culture, derived from this method, as aliment, fodder or seeds or for the production of pharmaceuticals or chemicals. | 06-24-2010 |
