Benefits of technology

[0011] Recently, progress has been made by the genetic manipulation of plants. That is, by introducing into and expressing recombinant nucleic acid molecules in plants. Such approaches have the advantage of not usually being limited to one plant species, but being transferable to other plant species as well. EP-A 0 511 979, for example, discloses that the expression of a prokaryotic asparagine synthetase in pl...

Embodiment Construction

1. Definitions

[0012] The following terms are utilized throughout this application: [0013] Domain: Domains are fingerprints or signatures that can be used to characterize protein families and / or parts of proteins. Such fingerprints or signatures can comprise conserved (1) primary sequence, (2) secondary structure, and / or (3) three-dimensional conformation. Generally, each domain has been associated with either a family of proteins or motifs. Typically, these families and / or motifs have been correlated with specific in-vitro and / or in-vivo activities. A domain can be any length, including the entirety of the sequence of a protein. Detailed descriptions of the domains, associated families and motifs, and correlated activities of the polypeptides of the instant invention are described below. Usually, the polypeptides with designated domain(s) can exhibit at least one activity that is exhibited by any polypeptide that comprises the same domain(s). Domains also define areas of non-codin...

Abstract

Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby are described, together with the use of those products for making transgenic plants.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This Nonprovisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) on U.S. Provisional Application No(s). 60 / 583,671; 60 / 583,781 and 60 / 583,651 filed on Jun. 30, 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to isolated polynucleotides, polypeptides encoded thereby, and the use of those products for making transgenic plants or organisms, such as transgenic plants. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] There are more than 300,000 species of plants. They show a wide diversity of forms, ranging from delicate liverworts, adapted for life in a damp habitat, to cacti, capable of surviving in the desert. The plant kingdom includes herbaceous plants, such as corn, whose life cycle is measured in months, to the giant redwood tree, which can live for thousands of years. This diversity reflects the adaptations of plants to survive in a wide range of habitats. T...
