The present disclosure relates to methods and constructs for producing heterologous peptides and proteins in plants in a safe and controlled manner. One aspect of the present invention provides a method of producing heterologous protein in a transformed potato plant using an expression cassette comprising a gene coding for a protein or peptide of interest and a marker gene, a nucleotide sequence capable of suppressing patatin expression, along with a nucleotide sequence capable of suppressing CD4B expression, and/or a nucleotide sequence capable of overexpressing P19. Another aspect of the invention provides a method of producing a heterologous protein in a transformed potato plant using an expression cassette comprising a gene coding for a protein or peptide of interest, a marker gene, a transit peptide sequence, and a nucleotide sequence capable of suppressing ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase expression.

Protein production in transgenic potato plants having suppressed expression of patatin and CD4B

The present invention relates to unique strategies and constructs for producing a nucleic acid product that downregulates or prevents expression of a desired target polynucleotide. The present invention contemplates the suppression of gene expression in plants by constructs that trigger transcriptional or post-transcriptional gene silencing. The methods of gene silencing may suppress gene expression through a variety of mechanisms.

Gene silencing

The present invention relates to a new plant breeding process. The process improves the agronomic performance of crop plants by using genetic material that is also used in classical breeding. Instead of sexually recombining entire genomes at random, as is done in classical breeding, specific genetic elements are rearranged in vitro and inserted back into individual plant cells. Plants obtained through this new plant breeding process do not contain foreign nucleic acid but only contain nucleic acid from the plant species selected for transformation or plants that are sexually compatible with the selected plant species. Plants developed through this new plant breeding process are provided. In particular, potato plants displaying improved tuber storage and health characteristics are provided.

Precise breeding

The present invention relates to a method for identifying and isolating native plant nucleic acid sequences that may function as T-DNAs or T-DNA border-like sequences, effecting the transfer of one polynucleotide into another polynucleotide. The present invention also provides a modified tuber, such as a genetically modified mature tuber, that comprises at least one trait that is not exhibited by a non-modified tuber of the same species.

Precise breeding&#x2014;simultaneous silencing

The present invention relates to unique strategies and constructs for producing a nucleic acid product that down-regulates or prevents expression of a desired target polynucleotide. Such construct may include an expressing cassette having two convergently-oriented promoters each operably linked to a polynucleotide, but not to a terminator. The two polynucleotides are fully identical in sequence over at least 23 nucleotides.

The present invention relates to unique strategies and constructs for producing a nucleic acid product that downregulates or prevents expression of a desired target polynucleotide.

The present invention provides nucleic acid molecules and sequences, particularly those identified and obtained from plants, that are useful for transferring and integrating one polynucleotide into another via plant transformation techniques.
