POLYNUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES AND PROTEINS ENCODED THEREBY USEFUL FOR MODIFYING PLANT CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

The present invention relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules and their corresponding encoded polypeptides. The present invention further relates to the uses of these nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides. For example, the nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides could be used in making enzymes or used to make plants, plant cells, plant materials or seeds of a plant having such modulated growth or phenotype characteristics that are altered with respect to wild type plants grown under similar conditions.

主权项

1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising:
(a) a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence that is at least 85% identical to any one of the polypeptides in the Sequence Listing; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence that is at least 85% identical to any one of the polypeptides from Panicum virgatum in the Sequence Listing; (c) a nucleotide sequence according to any one of the nucleotide sequences from Panicum virgatum in the Sequence Listing; (d) a nucleotide sequence that is an interfering RNA to a nucleotide sequence according to paragraph (a) or paragraph (b); (e) a nucleotide sequence able to form a hybridized nucleic acid duplex with the nucleic acid according to any one of paragraphs (a)-(d) at a temperature from about 10° C. to about 8° C. below a melting temperature of the hybridized nucleic acid duplex; or (f) a nucleotide sequence encoding any one of the polypeptide sequences from Panicum virgatum in the Sequence Listing.
