A wheat transgenic plant carrying restorer of fertility genes specific toCMS cytoplasm.

Wheat comprising male fertility restorer alleles

The invention relates to the field of plant improvement, in particular of the improvement of yield for plants, by using a transgene containing the BETL9 promoter driving expression of the MRP1 protein.

Method for plant improvement using a transgene containing the BETL9 promoter driving expression of the MRP1 protein

The invention relates to a method for improving the kernel productivity of a maize plant, wherein said method comprises overexpressing in said plant at least one glutamine synthetase isoenzyme, in order to increase the number and/or size of kernels.

Increased kernel productivity of plants through the modulation of glutamine synthetase activity

A device for the collection and processing of information relating to the exposure of one or more persons to one or more products of chemical or biological origin has:

Device for the collection and processing of information relating to the exposure of one or more persons to one or more products of chemical or biological origin and method for the use of such a device

The present invention relates to promoters that enable gene expression which is both specific to the endosperm and early during the development of the endosperm, as well as nucleic acid molecules encoding basal endosperm transfer cell layer (BETL) proteins.

MEG1 endosperm-specific promoters and genes

The invention relates to a method for improving the kernel productivity of a maize plant, wherein said method comprises overexpressing in said plant at least one glutamine synthetase isoenzyme, in order to increase the number and/or the size of kernels.

Kernel productivity of plants through the modulation of glutamine synthetase activity

The present invention relates to altering plant development and more particularly to altering the development of the plant endosperm. It concerns in particular nucleic acid molecules which alter the endosperm development.

EMP4 gene

The present invention relates to a method for obtaining a transgenic monocotyledon plant containing a gene of interest free of foreign ancillary sequences comprising:

Method for obtaining a monocotyledon plant containing a gene of interest free of foreign ancillary sequence

The invention relates to a method for producing a C-type plant having a modified carbon metabolism, comprising the following steps: an expression cassette, which comprises a nucleotide sequence that codes for a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), is introduced into at least one cell of plant C; the cell thus transformed is cultivated in such a way as to regenerate a Cplant containing said expression cassette in the genome thereof.

The use of DNA sequences comprising a glucanase coding region operably linked to a promoter, or other regulatory sequence, which provides for expression of the DNA sequence with appropriate tissue and/or temporal specificity, in the preparation of a male sterile transgenic tomato plant is disclosed. In preferred embodiments the promoter is a tapetum specific promoter, eg an A3 or an A9 promoter. DNA sequences comprising the PR-Glucanase coding region and an A3 or an A9 promoter, preferably an A9 promoter are also described, as are transgenic tomato plants, plant cells, propagating material, seeds, antisense DNA sequences and ribozyme encoding DNA sequences for restoration of male-fertility.

Use of DNA sequences for male sterility in transgenic plants

An oligonucleotide including at least one concatenation coding for a polypeptide of formula (P&#x2014;K), wherein n is an integer of at least 2, P is a proline amino acid residue, K is a lysine amino acid residue, and the sign '&#x2014;' is a bond, particularly a peptide bond, between the two amino acid residues. The n (P&#x2014;K) units are also bound together by such bonds, e.g. peptide bonds.

Amino acid-enriched plant protein reserves, particularly lysine-enriched maize &#x3b3;-zein, and plants expressing such proteins

A method for obtaining a plant having a modified amount of ASR protein, providing it with enhanced resistance to water stress compared to a non-transformed plant, comprises: transforming at least a plant cell with a vector, containing an expression cassette including a nucleotide sequence coding for an ASR protein or inhibiting the expression of an ASR protein; culturing the resulting transformed cell so as to generate a plant containing in its genome the expression cassette.

Method for obtaining plants exhibiting enhanced resistance to water stress

The invention relates to a method for preventing the spread via pollen of a transgene encoding dog gastric lipase or collagen from transgenic plants comprising said transgene. In this method plants are transformed with a construct comprising the transgene genetically linked to a second construct conferring male sterility on the plant. Plants produced by the method are male sterile, and thus cannot spread the transgene via their pollen.

Use of male sterility to prevent transgene spread in plants
