The present disclosure relates generally to gene promoters including promoters from oil palm plants, and to plants (including plants having genetic modifications) that include such promoters. The gene promoters of the present disclosure may be useful in facilitating expression of beneficial and/or desired phenotypic characteristics in plants and plant products.

Constitutive promoter from oil palm

The present invention relates generally to a gene promoter from an oil palm plant and to a genetically modified plant comprising same. The gene promoter of the present invention is useful in facilitating expression of beneficial and/or desired phenotypic characteristics in plants and in particular oil palm plant products from such plants also form part of the present invention.

Constitutive translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) promoter from oil palm type 2

A method for producing transgenic plants, including treating a target tissue using plasmolyzing media (PM) which contains 4% to 10% of sucrose and 100 &#x3bc;M to 300 &#x3bc;M of Acetosyringone (AS) and gold particles. The target tissue is infected by a bacterial suspension using a suitable strain and a suitable transformation vector. A PM containing 4% to 10% sucrose and 100 &#x3bc;M to 300 &#x3bc;M AS is treated for a period between 1 to 3 days. Cultivation is performed in a cultivation media in a dark condition at a temperature between 25&#xb0; C. to 30&#xb0; C. A non-selection media with an antibiotic is introduced. A selection media containing an active ingredient phosphinothricin (PPT) is introduced in a light condition at a temperature of between 25&#xb0; C. to 30&#xb0; C. in a sub culture for a period of between 3 weeks to 1 month. The putative transformant is regenerated and the number of copies of the transgenes is analyzed.

Method for producing transgenic plants

The present invention relates generally to a process of producing transgenic plants and more particularly transgenic oil palm plants carrying exogenous genetic material which confers on said plants or cells of said plants particular phenotypic traits. The present invention further provides plant parts, reproductive material and plant products from the transgenic plants. The present invention particularly provides transgenic plants and even more particularly transgenic oil plants having beneficial and useful phenotypic characteristics not present at least to the same extent in non-transgenic plants of the same species. The present invention is further directed to oil, and particularly palm oil, having beneficial and desirable characteristics, produced by the transgenic plants made in accordance with the present invention.

Method and compositions for the production of transgenic plants

The present invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence of nucleotides encoding a &#x3b2;-ketoacyl ACP synthase II from a plant, or a variant, derivative, homolog or analog of said &#x3b2;-ketoacyl ACP synthase II. The invention also relates to an isolated &#x3b2;-ketoacyl ACP synthase II enzyme from a plant. The polynucleotide sequences of the present invention may be used inter alia for the generation of cells or plants comprising such cells which have a modified phenotype and/or which exhibit a desired characteristic.
