Recombinant constructs and methods useful for improvement of plants are provided. In particular, recombinant constructs comprising promoters functional in plant cells positioned for expression of polynucleotides encoding starch branching enzymes from microbial sources are provided. The disclosed constructs and methods find use in production of transgenic plants to provide plants, particularly crop plants, having improved yield.

Polynucleotides for expression of microbial starch branching enzymes in plants for production of plants with improved yield

The present invention relates to a nucleic acid sequences fromthat encodes a GroEL protein. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules present in non-coding regions as well as nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins, fragments of proteins, tRNA's, fragments of tRNA's, rRNA's and fragments of rRNA's. In addition, protein and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding the proteins are encompassed by the present invention. The invention also relates to methods of using the disclosed nucleic acid molecules, proteins, fragments of proteins, RNA'S, and antibodies, for example, for gene identification and analysis, and preparation of constructs.

The invention provides isolated nucleotide sequences fromspecies Xs86068, and, in particular, nucleotide sequences that encode insect inhibitory proteins, the insecticidal proteins, and compositions that comprise one or more of the insecticidal proteins for use in controlling insect infestation.

Recombinant constructs and methods useful for improvement of plants are provided. In particular, recombinant constructs comprising promoters functional in plant cells positioned for expression of polynucleotides encoding polypeptides from microbial sources are provided. The disclosed constructs and methods find use in production of transgenic plants to provide plants, particularly crop plants, having improved properties.

Expression of microbial proteins in plants for production of plants with improved properties

The present invention provides transgenic plants transformed with an isolated DNA encoding a monomeric anthranilate synthase. The present invention also provides an isolated DNA encoding a monomeric anthranilate synthase from. Transformation vectors and transformed plants containing the isolated DNA and seeds derived therefrom, are also provided.

Transgenic high tryptophan plants

Nucleic acid sequences, vectors, recombinant host cells, transgenic plants, and methods for their preparation are disclosed. The nucleic acid sequences encode threonine deaminase proteins that catalyze the conversion of threonine to &#x3b1;-ketobutyrate. One or both of the amino acids at positions 447 and 481 of the encoded proteins can be selected from groups of particular amino acids. For example, the amino acid at position 447 can be alanine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, or methionine. The amino acid at position 481 can be alanine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, tryptophan, or methionine.

Modified threonine deaminase

Nucleic acid encoding a modified threonine deaminase and methods of use

The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from the bacterium, and, in particular, to genomic DNA sequences. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules present in non-coding regions as well as nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins and fragments of proteins. In addition, proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding the proteins are encompassed by the present invention. The invention also encompasses oligonucleotides including primers, e.g. useful for amplifying nucleic acid molecules, and collections of nucleic acid molecules and oligonucleotides, e.g. in microarrays. The invention also provides constructs and transgenic cells and organisms comprising nucleic acid molecules of the invention. The invention also relates to methods of using the disclosed nucleic acid molecules, oligonucleotides, proteins, fragments of proteins, and antibodies, for example, for gene identification and analysis, and preparation of constructs and transgenic cells and organisms.

Myxococcus xanthus genome sequences and uses thereof

The use of multigene vectors for the preparation of transformed host cells and plants is disclosed. Multigene vectors reduce the number of transformations required, and leads to increased production of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymer in the resulting transformed host cells and plants.
