Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of plant molecular biology and provides methods for production of high expressing constitutive promoters and the production of plants with enhanced constitutive expression of nucleic acids wherein nucleic acid expression enhancing nucleic acids (NEENAs) are functionally linked to the promoters and/or introduced into plants.
Abstract:
The invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules which encode novel fatty acid desaturases and elongases from the organism Emiliana huxleyi. The invention also provides recombinant expression vectors containing desaturase or elongase nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and methods for large-scale production of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), e.g. arachidonic acid (ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring inflorescence, seed and/or seed yield phenotype of a plant. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for high throughput analysis of inflorescence, seed and/or seed yield phenotype of a panicle-like bearing plant.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of plant molecular biology and provides methods for production of high expressing seed-specific and/or seed-preferential promoters and the production of plants with enhanced seed-specific and/or seed-preferential expression of nucleic acids wherein nucleic acid expression enhancing nucleic acids (NEENAs) are functionally linked to the promoters and/or introduced into plants.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of increasing resistance against fungal pathogens of the family Phacopsoraceae in plants and/or plant cells. This is achieved by increasing the expression of a CASAR protein or fragment thereof in a plant, plant part and/or plant cell in comparison to wild type plants, wild type plant parts and/or wild type plant cells. Furthermore, the invention relates to transgenic plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells having an increased resistance against fungal pathogens, in particular, pathogens of the family Phacopsoraceae, and to recombinant expression vectors comprising a sequence that is identical or homologous to a sequence encoding a CASAR protein.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to the recombinant manufacture of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Specifically, it relates to acyltransferase polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding said acyltransferases as well as vectors, host cells, non-human transgenic organisms containing said polynucleotides. Moreover, the present invention contemplates methods for the manufacture of polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as oils obtained by such methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an isotope labeling chamber for labeling metabolites in an organism, comprising a reactor chamber (1) and an air regulation chamber (2), wherein the reactor chamber (1) comprises the following components: optionally, a housing frame (3), housing walls (4), at least one injection valve (5), where at least one housing wall (4) can be opened fully and/or in part and where at least one housing wall has a lock (6), and furthermore wherein the air regulation chamber (2) comprises the following components: a temperature-regulating unit (7), an air humidification unit (8) and a gas absorption unit (9). Furthermore, the invention relates to a labeling method for plants in which the labeling chamber according to the invention is employed.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for enhancing one or more yield-related traits in a plant by modulating expression in the plant of a nucleic acid encoding an ANAC055 (Arabidopsis No Apical Meristem, Arabidopsis Transcription Factor, Cup-shaped Cotyledon) polypeptide. Also provided are plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ANAC055 polypeptide, which plants have one or more enhanced yield-related traits compared with control plants. Further provided are hitherto unknown ANAC055-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the method.
