Abstract:
The present invention relates to a use of AtBG1 {Arabidopsis thaliana &bgr;-glucosidase 1) gene and a transgenic plan with the AtBG1 gene insertion, more precisely, a use of AtBG1 gene for the generation of a transgenic plant having resistance to various environmental stresses by increasing the level of abscisic acid (ABA), a kind of plant hormone, and a transgenic plant having stress-resistance with the AtBG1 gene insertion. Plants have enhanced resistance against various environmental stresses including low temperature, salt damage and dehydration owing to the increased level of ABA. Thus, the method to increase the level of ABA can greatly contribute to the enhancement of agricultural production.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a recombinant cDNA encoding a fusion protein comprising chloroplast-targeting peptide, full length cellulase and cellulose binding domain sequentially, wherein the cellulase is cellulase5 originated from Ruminococcus albus, and the cellulose binding domain is originated from Xylanase A of Clostridium stercorarium. The cDNA can be used to produce plants expressing cellulase for autohydrolysis. Methods for the production of soluble sugars comprising the induction of autohydrolysis of the cellulose are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to transgenic plants for producing cellulose by a mechanism of autohydrolysis and a method producing soluble sugars using them, more particularly to transgenic plants transformed with recombinant cDNA coding cellulase, cellulose binding domain and chloroplast targeting peptide and a method producing soluble sugars using them. Transgenic plants and a method producing soluble sugars using them would be a highly cost-effective system for the production of soluble sugars on a large scale.

The present invention relates to a use of AtBGl {Arabidopsis thaliana ß-glucosidase 1) gene and a transgenic plan with the AtBGl gene insertion, more precisely, a use of AtBGl gene for the generation of a transgenic plant having resistance to various environmental stresses by increasing the level of abscisic acid (ABA) , a kind of plant hormone, and a transgenic plant having stress-resistance with the AtBGl gene insertion. Plants have enhanced resistance against various environmental stresses including low temperature, salt damage and dehydration owing to the increased level of ABA. Thus, the method to increase the level of ABA can greatly contribute to the enhancement of agricultural production.
