Abstract:
The invention relates to novel plasmid vectors for transformation of filamentous fungi and to a method of modifiying the genome of filamentous fungi based on these vectors. The invention furthermore relates to the modification of a specific gene via the process of homologous recombination, to recombinant expression of foreign genes in filamentous fungi and to new selection markers for detecting succesfull transfer of the target gene in filamentous fungi.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the provision of expression cassettes and nucleic acid sequences and to the use of these aforementioned nucleic acid sequences in a method for identifying antifungal compounds, which inhibit the mitochondrial transport process in eucaryotes. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of these compounds identified via the abovementioned method as fungicides.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the provision of a polypeptide with the enzymatic activity of a Uridyl glucose pyrophosphorylase as targets for fungicides, the provision of novel nucleic acid sequences encoding a polypeptide with the enzymatic activity of a Uridyl glucose pyrophosphorylase, the provision of functional equivalents of the aforementioned nucleic acid sequences, and use of a polypeptide with the enzymatic activity of a Uridyl glucose pyrophosphorylase encoded by a nucleic acid sequence in a method for identifying antifungal compounds. Furthermore, the invention relates to antifungal compounds identified by the abovementioned method and the use of these compounds as fungicides.
Abstract:
Nucleic acid sequence, encoding a MAP kinase, (I) comprises (a) sequences (S1) or (S2), of 556 and 490 nucleotides, reproduced; (b) a functional equivalent of (a); (c) a fragment of (a); or (d) a sequence that contains part of (a). Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Expression cassette (EC) that contains (I); (2) Vector (III) that contains EC; (3) Transgenic organism that contains at least one (I), EC or (III); (4) Identifying (M4) fungicidal compounds from their ability to reduce, inhibit or block transcription, expression, translation or activity of the products of (I); and (5) Fungicides identified by (M4).
