20080250528 | Rice Glutelin Gene Promoters - A nucleic acid containing a glutelin gene promoter. Disclosed are transformed plant cells and transgenic plants containing a nucleic acid that includes the promoter operably linked to a sequence encoding heterologous protein. Also disclosed are methods of making the transformed plant cells and transgenic plants and methods for expressing a polypeptide. | 10-09-2008 |
20090092703 | Phytase-Expressing Transgenic Plants - Disclosed are a transgenic plant and a transformed plant cell containing a heterologous nucleic acid that includes a sweet potato sporamin SPO promoter operably linked to a sequence encoding a polypeptide. Also disclosed are uses of the plant or cell. | 04-09-2009 |
20090133154 | ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANT TRANSGENIC PLANTS - In a transgenic plant, a stress-responsive promoter containing CE3 and ABRE2 from HVA1 ABRC3 and CE1 from HVA22 ABRC1, directs low background expression of a gene under normal growth conditions, but is highly inducible by an abiotic stress, such as abscisic acid, dehydration, salt or cold. Compared with the wild type plant, the transgenic plant that expresses a stress-resistant gene under the control of the stress-responsive promoter is more resistant and/or tolerant to abiotic stresses and exhibits similar or higher growth rate and strength under regular or normal environmental conditions. | 05-21-2009 |
20090313725 | Gibberellin 2-Oxidase Genes And Uses Thereof - Novel gibberellin 2-oxidase (GA2ox) genes were identified. Differential expression of GA2ox genes correlated with flower development, seed germination, tiller growth and other developmental processes. In addition, the early and increased growth of tiller and adventitious root and altered root architecture caused by overexpression of GA2oxs further suggest the pleiotropic role of GA2oxs in controlling growth and architecture in plants such as rice. GA2ox5, GA2ox6 and GA2ox9 were three genes encoding class C20 GA2oxs in rice. Mutants or transgenic rice overexpressing class C20 GA2oxs exhibited a broad range of mutant phenotypes, including semi-dwarfism, increased root system and higher tiller numbers that may favor grain yield. Mutations in the conserved domain III were found to affect the physiological activity of class C20 GA2oxs. | 12-17-2009 |
20100047869 | Novel Thermophilic Endo-Glucanase and Uses Thereof - A novel thermophilic endo-glucanase, nucleic acid encoding the endo-glucase, and uses thereof in converting lignocellulosic material to fermentable sugars. | 02-25-2010 |
20100095406 | Method of Controlling Plant Growth and Architecture by Controlling Expression of Gibberellin 2-Oxidase - Novel gibberellin 2-oxidase (GA2ox) genes were identified. Differential expression of GA2ox genes correlated with flower development, seed germination, tiller growth and other developmental processes. In addition, the early and increased growth of tiller and adventitious root and altered root architecture caused by overexpression of GA2oxs further suggest the pleiotropic role of GA2oxs in controlling growth and architecture in plants such as rice.

Mutations in the conserved domain III were found to affect the physiological activity of class C20 GA2oxs. Methods are described for controlling plant growth and architecture by controlling gene expression of gibberellin 2-oxidase in the plant. | 04-15-2010 |

20110126316 | USE OF RICE POLYPEPTIDES/NUCLEIC ACIDS FOR PLANT IMPROVEMENT - A method of making a transgenic plant by transforming into a host plant a recombinant DNA construct that expresses in the transgenic plant a rice polypeptide and the transgenic plant thus produced. | 05-26-2011 |
20120036597 | Cold-Tolerant Plants - Disclosed are chill- or cold-tolerant plants and methods of making the plants. Also disclosed are methods for identifying a plant that is tolerant to chill. | 02-09-2012 |
