The invention relates to a method for the stable expression of nucleic acids in transgenic plants, controlled by a parsley-ubiquitin promoter (PCUbi4-2). Said promoter, isolated from parsley (petroselinum crispum) exhibits in almost all transgenic plants an intensely constitutive expression in almost all vegetable tissue, including the seed. It also contains, among others, a potentially heat-shock inducible element (HSE). The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors and transgenic plants and to the use of the latter for producing foodstuffs, animal feed, seeds, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of methionine in an organism such as a microorganism, a non-human animal or plant. The invention furthermore relates to nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, nucleic acid constructs, vectors, antisense molecules, antibodies, host cells, plant tissue, propagation material, harvested material, plants, microorganisms as well as agricultural compositions and to their use.

Process for the production of fine chemicals

A method for preparing a nonhuman organism with faster growth and/or increased yield in comparison with a reference organism, which method comprises increasing the activity of L450 in said organism or in one or parts thereof in comparison with a reference organism.

Preparation of organisms with faster growth and/or higher yield

Recombinant DNA molecules are described which contain a DNA sequence encoding a protein with the biological activity of a 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate (2-DOG-6-P) phosphatase and being under the control of regulatory sequences of a promoter active in plants and transcription-termination and/or poyladenylation signals. Also, vectors and hosts are described which contain the recombinant DNA molecules according to the invention. Furthermore, processes for producing transformed plant cells and plants using the described recombinant DNA molecules and vectors are provided. The invention also describes transgenic plants, their harvest products and propagation material as well as plant cells and tissues containing the recombinant DNA molecules or vectors according to the invention or having been produced by the process according to the invention.

The present invention relates to a method of isolating a promoter, which causes, in plants, permanent Mesophyll-specific expression of an operably linked encoding nucleotide sequence, for example a sequence which imparts resistance or an increase in the photosynthetic performance.

Method of isolating a mesophyll-specific promoter

The present invention relates to promoters which cause, in plants, permanent leaf-specific expression of an encoding nucleotide sequence under the control of said promoters, for example a sequence which imparts resistance or an increase in the photosynthetic performance.
