    Abstract: 601188 Disclosed is a method of producing a tree having n increased growth and/or biomass compared to its wild type, comprising increasing in the tree the level of a gene product of at least one gene comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of a) nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO 3; and b) a nucleotide sequence being at least 70% identical to nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO 3. Further disclosed is transgenic tree comprising a recombinant polynucleotide (DNA construct) comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: a) nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 3; b) a complementary nucleotide sequence of the nucleotide sequence of a); c) a nucleic acid sequence being at least 70% identical to any one of the sequences in a) or b); d) a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions to a nucleotide sequence of a) or b); and wherein the recombinant DNA construct further comprises a constitutive, inducible, or tissue specific promoter operably linked to said nucleotide sequence. The abovementioned nucleotide sequence encodes the peptide of the following sequence: MEIKESERVVIAKPVASRPSYSNFTSFSELLAGAINTTPSNVCSGTAVAAIRPKTVRFRPLVNRAPGALVSSQAGLSGTAVSNSFNKASSTDSKATIIYKPQAKLVSKATVSLLANMGNFNTNSQQMLQPVETRPQLSKQDKHNFSSQLTSNPHQNIPSPAEADHTTEPLRLTSLNQEEDPKTLSHASNGDRPSYDGYNWRKYGQKQVKGSEYPRSYYKCTYPNCPVKKKVERSFDGQIAEIVYKGEHNHSKPQPPKRNSSGTQGLSDGNAPDRNSIPLWSNQLNERNEGSEGREENQNEIGLPVHSIYQGKAPPSYDPAGTGTINAGTGTSDNSCGVSGECDDGSKGLEGANDEPKSKRRKTEIQSTEGGMSGEGVQEPRVVVQSSTDSEILGDGFRWRKYGQKIVKGNPYPRSYYRCTSIKCNVRKHVERVSDDPRAFITTYEGKHNHEIPLKSTNLAAFEPDSQAPTTRVKQ.

    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a novel and extensive analytical platform for selecting genes with a possible commercial phenotype from a large group of candidate genes identified using tools in bioinformatics, data from EST sequencing and DNA array. An aspect of the invention provides a method of producing a transgenic plant having an increased growth compared to its wild type. The method comprises altering in the plant the level of a gene product of at least one gene specifically expressed during different phases of wood formation. Further aspects of the invention provide a plant cell or plant progeny of a transgenic plant comprising a recombinant polynucleotide according to the invention. Other aspects pertain a DNA construct comprising a nucleotide sequence of the invention and a plant cell or plant progeny comprising the DNA construct.

    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a novel and extensive analytical platform for selecting genes with a possible commercial phenotype from a large group of candidate genes identified using tools in bioinformatics, data from EST sequencing and DNA array. An aspect of the invention provides methods of producing a transgenic plant having an increased growth compared to its wild type. The method comprises altering in the plant the level of a gene product of at least one gene specifically expressed during different phases of wood formation. This may be done with transgenic methods or by specific crossing methods. Further aspects of the invention provide a plant cell or plant progeny and wood having modulated gene expression according to the invention. Other aspects pertain a DNA construct comprising a nucleotide sequence of the invention and a plant cell or plant progeny comprising the DNA construct.

    Abstract: This invention relates to fertilizer and herbicide compositions. The present invention provides a composition for selective fertilization of a transgenic plant comprising a polypeptide which metabolizes a D-amino acid substrate; said composition comprising said D-amino acid substrate. Another aspect of the present invention provides a selective herbicide composition comprising a D-amino acid. Such a herbicide will inhibit or reduce the growth of plants which do not contain the appropriate D-amino acid metabolizing enzyme, while the growth of transgenic plants which are able to metabolize the D-amino acid will be unaffected or, more preferably, be increased or enhanced. Methods and means are also provided for selectively modulating the growth and stress tolerance such plants using D-amino acids. The methods can be used either for detoxification of phytotoxic D-amino acids such as D-alanine and D-serine, thereby allowing for selection of plants comprising said D-amino acid metabolizing enzymes, or for enhancing toxicity of lesser phytotoxic D-amino acids such as D-isoleucine, thereby allowing for selection of plants not comprising said D-amino acid metabolizing enzymes.

    Abstract: Tissue specific promoters (SEQ. ID. NO. 1 - 5) are disclosed, these being preferentially expressed in the xylem tissue of woody plants. These promoter s are used e.g. to specifically regulate gene expression in xylem tissue and alter xylem properties in plants. Transgenic plants, exhibiting modified xyl em properties can be produced using these promoters.
