The invention relates to the field of molecular biology and particularly novel genes that encode pesticidal proteins useful for controlling pests, particularly plant pests. These proteins and the nucleic acid sequences that encode them are useful in preparing pesticidal compositions and in the production of transgenic pest-resistant plants.

Pesticidal genes and methods of use

The invention relates to method of modifying a coding sequence encoding a non-plant protein, comprising the steps of optimizing said coding sequence by codon substitution, thereby obtaining an optimized coding sequence which encodes said non-plant protein; and re-introducing at least one wild-type polyadenylation motif sequence at its position within said optimized gene sequence.

Method for gene optimization

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 present invention relates to controlling the expression of genes into the pedicel, more specifically in the placentochalaza cells.

Pedicel specific promoter

The invention relates to modified restriction enzymes capable of being used for promoting homologous recombination in organisms, in particular plants, making it possible to either target gene integration or excise unwanted DNA sequences in the genome of said organisms.

Method for performing homologous recombination in plants

Method for performing homologous recombination in  plants

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 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

The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding tapetum specific promoters, for use in Artificial Male Sterility systems in plants. In particular, the promoters may be the pMAC2 promoter; the pMAC20 promoter; or promoter sequences which naturally controls the expression of a coding sequence substantially homologous to the MAC2 or MAC20 coding sequences. Also provided are regulatory elements of the promoters; plant cells and plants transformed with the promoter sequences.

Tapetum-specific promoters

The present invention relates to inductible promoters for use in the control of heterologous genes in transformed plants. Suitable inducible promoters art those which are responsive to low levels of an environmentally acceptable and non-phytoxic inducing agent, and which also demonstrates a low level of developmentally or environmentally induced expression. A preferred prompter naturally drives the expression of a 21.3 kDa protein inor an equivalent protein from the Lillaceae or Amaryllidaceae families. Under the control of a promoter of the invention, a gene will be expressed upon induction by SA or BTH, but preferably will not be developmentally expressed, systemically activated upon pathogen infection, or in response to ABA, ethylene, oxidative or osmotic stresses, or wounding.

Inducible promoters

The invention relates to pairs of parent plants for producing hybrid seeds and to methods for producing plants with a desired phenotype. The desired phenotype is an active enzyme, a regulatory protein or a protein which affects the functionality and/or viability and/or structural integrity of a cell. Preferably, the desired phenotype is substantially absent from the parent plants/lines. In particular, the invention relates to parent plants and methods involving plant lines for producing male-sterile plants and seeds.
