Abstract:
The present invention provides a chimeric recombinant DNA molecule comprising: a plurality of DNA sequences, each of which comprises a plant-functional promoter linked to a coding region, which encodes a virus-associated coat protein, wherein said DNA sequences are preferably linked in-tandem so that they are expressed in virus-susceptible plant cells transformed with said recombinant DNA molecule to impart resistance to said viruses; as well as methods for transforming plants with the chimeric constructs and for selecting plants which express at least one of said DNA sequences imparting viral resistance.
Abstract:
The cDNA and genomic DNA encoding the ACC oxidase of broccoli are provided along with recombinant materials containing antisense constructs of these DNA sequences to permit control of the level of ACC oxidase in and, thus, the maturation and aging of Brassica oleracea plants which allows one to influence, e.g., lengthen, the shelflife of these plants.
Abstract:
A cytoplasmic male sterile, cold tolerant, diploid Brassica oleracea plant is provided. The plant includes chloroplasts of fertile Brassica oleracea and a recombined mitochondrial genome provided by Ogura CMS cytoplasm and the fertile Brassica oleracea plant.
Abstract:
A transgenic plant transformed with a coat protein gene of cucumber mosaic virus strain C which confers resistance to heterologous virus challenge is provided.
Abstract:
The genomic DNA encoding the ACC synthase of broccoli is provided along with recombinant materials containing constructs of this DNA sequence to permit control of the level of ACC synthase in and, thus, the maturation and aging of Brassica oleracea plants which allows one to influence, e.g., lengthen, the shelf-life of these plants.
Abstract:
A novel soybean cultivar, designated 928070, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar 928070, to the plants of soybean 928070 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the cultivar 928070 with itself or another soybean variety. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar 928070 with another soybean cultivar.
