Compositions and methods are provided for increasing methionine content in plants are disclosed.

Compositions and methods for increasing methionine content in plants

The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to generating plants having increased levels of oil and protein. This invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants and genetically altered plants. The invention further provides isolated polynucleotides and their encoded proteins that are involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.

Production of increased oil and protein in plants by the disruption of the phenylpropanoid pathway

Screening procedures are disclosed for identifying compounds useful for inhibiting infection or pathogenicity. Methods are also disclosed for identifying pathogenic virulence factors.

Methods of screening compounds useful for prevention of infection or pathogenicity

Screening procedures are disclosed for identifying compounds useful for inhibiting fungal infection or pathogenicity. Methods are also disclosed for identifying fungal pathogenic virulence factors.

An improved tubular seed collecting device comprising a funnel-shaped base which protrudes into the tubular space of the device. The seed collecting device has tabs on its legs and/or elongated bosses on the inside wall of the cup. The tabs serve to limit the insertion of the legs into the plant growth medium to allow horizontal growth of the plant under the level of the cup. The tabs and the bosses improve the air flow through the device. Sturdier leg design allows more re-use of each device.
