A transgenic rice plant containing in its genome a recombinant DNA construct that includes a first nucleic acid having a sequence of a first Golden 2-like transcription factor (GLK) gene operably linked to its natural promoter and 5' untranslated region (5′UTR), and a second nucleic acid having a sequence of a second GLK gene operably linked to its natural promoter and 5′UTR, the second GLK gene being distinct from the first GLK gene. The first GLK gene and the second GLK gene are both from a C4 plant and the transgenic rice plant exhibits a 65-106% increase in shoot biomass and a 50-95% increase in grain yield, as compared to an untransformed wild-type rice plant. Also provided is a method for producing the transgenic rice plant and a recombinant DNA construct that can be used in the method.

Approaches to dramatically increase rice productivity

The present disclosure relates to a recombinant protein comprising a plurality of type II cohesin repeats. The present disclosure provides a recombinant cellulosome complex comprising: the recombinant protein comprising a plurality of type II cohesin repeats; a recombinant cellulosome complex integrating protein A comprising a plurality of type I cohesin repeats, a plurality of cellulose-binding modules and a type II dockerin; and a plurality of recombinant enzymes each comprising a type I dockerin. A cell, a method for digesting a cellulose and a method for producing ethanol are also provided.

Recombinant cellulosome complex and uses thereof

Disclosed herein are recombinant polynucleotide sequences, vectors, host cells and methods for producing astaxanthin. The recombinant polynucleotide sequence is designed to provide a higher level of astaxanthin precursors via a shorter metabolic pathway, and thereby attains higher level of end products (e.g., astaxanthin) with desired stereoisomeric form and/or esterified form.

Recombinant polynucleotide sequence for producing astaxanthin and uses thereof

Described herein is an engineeredcell, the cell comprising in its genome: (i) two different nucleic acid molecules that each contain a promoter operably linked to a gene encoding a functional enzyme, and (ii) a selection nucleic acid molecule that contains a promoter operably linked to a gene encoding a selectable marker, wherein all of the nucleic acids molecules of (i) and (ii) are in tandem and the engineered cell expresses all of the proteins encoded by the genes of (i) and (ii).

Engineered yeast for production of enzymes

Described is a method of introducing multiple nucleic acid molecules into the genome of a cell. The method includes providing a plurality of nucleic acid molecules, each of the plurality of nucleic acid molecules containing (a) a nucleic acid sequence operatively linked to a promoter sequence at the 5' end of the nucleic acid molecule, and (b) an overlapping sequence at the 3&#x2032; end of the nucleic acid molecule.

Method for ordering and introducing multiple genes into a genome

A polyacetylenes and application thereof. The polyacetylenes is isolated from an extract of the sporophores ofand has a function of inhibiting the production of nitric oxide. Therefore, the polyacetylenes can be used for preparing a pharmaceutical composition for anti-inflammation. The present invention also teaches the representative metabolites of the sporophores of, which can be used to evaluate the quality thereof.

Polyacetylene compound, an extract containing the same and application thereof

Disclosed are a novel flavor compound-producing yeast strain and methods of using the strain to produce flavor compounds.

Flavor compound-producing yeast strains

An expression system for producing a multi-enzyme complex, the system including a nucleic acid molecule containing a promoter operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence including multiple genes encoding multiple enzymes that are components of the multi-enzyme complex.

Expression system for producing multi-enzyme complexes and uses thereof

A polycistronic expression cassette encoding proteins necessary for constructing a multi-enzyme complex was developed. Also disclosed herein is a host cell containing this polycistronic expression cassette and uses thereof in degrading biomass.
