The invention relates to the field of plant and agricultural technology. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of zinc finger proteins and fusions of said proteins to regulate gene expression and metabolic pathways in plants.

Expression system for synthetic zinc finger proteins and methods of using the same

The present invention provides novel emulsion formulations which comprise oil bodies. The invention also provides a method for preparing the emulsions and the use of the emulsions in a variety of products including food products, personal care products and pharmaceutical products. In a preferred embodiment the emulsions comprise thioredoxin and/or thioredoxin reductase.

Thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase containing oil body based products

The invention relates to nucleic acids encoding synthetic zinc finger proteins for gene regulation in plants. The invention also relates to methods of producing synthetic zinc finger protein in host cells.

Synthetic zinc finger protein encoding sequences and methods of producing the same

Methods and compositions to modulate expression in plants

The present invention relates to the use of a variety of methods for generating functional thioredoxin reductase variants in which at least one physical, chemical or biological property of the variant is altered in a specific and desired manner when compared to the wild-type protein.

Nucleic acids and proteins with thioredoxin reductase activity

The present invention relates to the use of a class of genes called oil body protein genes that have unique features. The discovery of these features allowed the invention of methods for the production of recombinant proteins wherein a protein of interest can be easily separated from other host cell components. The invention is further exemplified by methods for exploitation of the unique characteristics of the oil body proteins and oil body genes for expression of polypeptides of interest in many organisms, particularly plant seeds. Said polypeptides include thioredoxin and/or thioredoxin reductase. The invention can also be modified to recover recombinant polypeptides fused to oil body proteins from non-plant host cells.
