Less-than-diploidcells are produced. The cells have at least one unpaired chromosome and may be haploid, i.e., are missing one member of each pair of chromosomes that are present in the wild-type strains. The less-than-diploid cells are useful fermentation strains, performing similarly to diploid strains that are otherwise similarly engineered. The less-than-diploid strains can be mated to produce diploids, which themselves are useful fermentation strains. The less-than-diploid strains are also useful as host strains for producing further genetically modified strains that can be less-than-diploid or mated to produce diploids.

Genetically modified haploid

The present application discloses genetically modified yeast cells comprising an active 3-HP fermentation pathway, and the use of these cells to produce 3-HP.

Compositions and methods for 3-hydroxypropionic acid production

The present application discloses the identification of the novelxylose transporter genes KHT105 and RAG4, as well as the identification of a novel set ofpentose phosphate pathway genes The present application further discloses a series of genetically modified yeast cells comprising various combinations of arabinose fermentation pathways, xylose fermentation pathways, pentose phosphate pathways, and/or xylose transporter genes, and methods of culturing these cells to produce ethanol in fermentation media containing xylose.

Compositions and methods for increased ethanol production from biomass

The present application discloses the identification of novelADH1, ADHa, and ADHb genes, and the production and characterization of genetically modified yeast cells in which these genes were altered. Provided herein are isolatedADH1, ADHa, and ADHb polynucleotides and polypeptides, genetically modified yeast cells that overexpressADH1 and/or contain deletions or disruptions of ADHa and/or ADHb, and methods of using culturing these modified cells to produce ethanol.

Compositions and methods for increased ethanol titer from biomass

Described herein are microorganisms that produce methionine and related products from endogenous genes in a transsulfuration pathway, as well as from exogenous genes providing a direct sulfhydrylation pathway. Novel genes that are useful for methionine and SAMe production are disclosed.

Compositions and methods of producing methionine

Various methods and compositions are provided for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasm with tolerance or improved tolerance toinfection. In certain embodiments, the method comprises detecting at least one marker locus that is associated with tolerance toinfection. In other embodiments, the method further comprises detecting at least one marker profile or haplotype associated with tolerance toinfection. In further embodiments, the method comprises crossing a selected soybean plant with a second soybean plant. Further provided are markers, primers, probes and kits useful for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasm with tolerance or improved tolerance toinfection.
