EXPRESSION OF MICROBIAL PROTEINS IN PLANTS FOR PRODUCTION OF PLANTS WITH IMPROVED PROPERTIES

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A recombinant DNA construct comprising a promoter functional in a plant cell, wherein said promoter is positioned to provide for expression of a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide, and wherein said polynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of:
(a) a polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to a reference nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 through SEQ ID NO:23687; (b) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to a reference amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:23688 through SEQ ID NO:47374; and (c) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that is a functional homolog of a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:23688 through SEQ ID NO:47374.
