This invention provides recombinant DNA constructs, transgenic plant nuclei and cells with such recombinant DNA construct for expression of proteins that are useful for imparting enhanced agronomic trait(s) to transgenic crop plants. This invention also provides transgenic plants and progeny seed comprising the transgenic plant cells where the plants are selected for having an enhanced trait selected from the group of traits consisting of enhanced water use efficiency, enhanced cold tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, enhanced seed protein and enhanced seed oil. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing transgenic seed and plants with enhanced traits.

Transgenic plants with enhanced agronomic traits

A method is provided for use in optimizing ethanol yield from agricultural products. The method includes imaging agricultural products to determine predicted ethanol yields for the agricultural products and assigning characterizations to the imaged agricultural products based on their predicted ethanol yields. An apparatus is provided for collecting, retaining, and/or transporting bulk quantities of agricultural products. The apparatus includes an analyzer configured to image the agricultural products for use in determining the predicted ethanol yields. And, a system is provided for tracking and/or monitoring agricultural products. The system includes an analyzer configured to image the agricultural products for use in determining the predicted ethanol yields, a central processor configured to communicate with the analyzer to thereby link the imaged agricultural products with their predicted ethanol yields, and a telecommunications link coupling the analyzer to the central processor for allowing the communication between the analyzer and the central processor.

Systems and methods for use in characterizing agricultural products

The present invention provides non-coding regulatory element polynucleotide molecules isolated from the S-adenosyl methionine synthetase (SAMS3) gene ofand useful for expressing transgenes in plants. The invention further discloses compositions, polynucleotide constructs, transformed host cells, transgenic plants and seeds containing theregulatory polynucleotide sequences, and methods for preparing and using the same.

This invention discloses methods for providing plants with selective expression of a target RNA and methods for evaluating an expression pattern of a target RNA in a plant. Also disclosed are transgenic plants having recombinant DNA for expressing a protein using a promoter functional in multiple tissues, and recombinant DNA for suppressing expression of the protein using a promoter functional in fewer than the multiple tissues.

Selective gene expression in plants

Recombinant polynucleotides and recombinant polypeptides useful for improvement of plants are provided. The disclosed recombinant polynucleotides and recombinant polypeptides find use in production of transgenic plants to produce plants having improved properties.
