The invention provides a compositions and methods for controlling phenotypic traits in plants. Genes of interest are placed under the control of a gene switch to allow inducible control or expression of a gene of interest 'on-demand' by treatment of the plant with a chemical ligand.

Control of phenotype in plants

Described is a serine recombinase that integrates large sections of foreign DNA into plant chromosomes through non-homologous recombination through attP or attB sites on the foreign DNA but without the engineering of corresponding attB or attP site on the plant chromosome. The serine recombinase-based method has several advantages over other systems, such as. Also described are related methods, composition, and plants containing exogenous DNA.

Serine recombinases mediating stable integration into plant genomes

The present application is directed to lettuce plants comprising a mutation in each of at least two different PPO genes, where said mutations reduce the activity of PPO protein compared to a wild type lettuce plant. The present application is also directed to methods for making such lettuce plants.
