AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a purified nucleic acid molecule that can be used to transform plants. The nucleic acid sequence can hybridize with specific sequences or have an 85% identity with them. The transformed plants contain the nucleic acid sequence, which is operably linked to a structural nucleic acid sequence. The transformation method involves introducing the nucleic acid molecule into a plant cell and then regenerating the plant from the cell. The technical effects include improved crop yield, disease resistance, and better nutritional content.

Problems solved by technology

Despite the availability of many molecular tools, however, the genetic modification of plants and seeds is often constrained by an insufficient or poorly localized expression of the engineered transgene.
This early step is often rate-limiting relative to subsequent stages of protein production.

Generating a Genomic Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) Library

BACs are stable, non-chimeric cloning systems having genomic fragment inserts (100-300 kb) and their DNA can be prepared for most types of experiments including DNA sequencing. BAC vector, pBeloBAC11, is derived from the endogenous E. coli F-factor plasmid, which contains genes for strict copy number control and unidirectional origin of DNA replication. Additionally, pBeloBAC11 has three unique restriction enzyme sites (Hind III, Bam HI and Sph I) located within the LacZ gene which can be used as cloning sites for megabase-size plant DNA. Indigo, another BAC vector contains Hind III and Eco RI cloning sites. This vector also contains a random mutation in the LacZ gene that allows for darker blue colonies.

As an alternative, the P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) can be used as a large DNA fragment cloning vector (Ioannou, et al., Nature Genet. 6:84-89 (1994); Suzuki, et al., Gene 199:133-137 (1997)). The PAC vector...

Sequencing Genomic DNA Inserts from a Genomic BAC Library

Two basic methods can be used for DNA sequencing, the chain termination method of Sanger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:5463-5467 (1977), and the chemical degradation method of Maxam and Gilbert, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:560-564 (1977),. Automation and advances in technology such as the replacement of radioisotopes with fluorescence-based sequencing have reduced the effort required to sequence DNA (Craxton, Methods, 2:20-26 (1991); Ju et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92:4347-4351 (1995); Tabor and Richardson, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92:6339-6343 (1995)). Automated sequencers are available from, for example, Pharmacia Biotech, Inc., Piscataway, N.J. (Pharmacia ALF), LI-COR, Inc., Lincoln, Nebr. (LI-COR 4,000) and Millipore, Bedford, Mass. (Millipore BaseStation).

In addition, advances in capillary gel electrophoresis have also reduced the effort required to sequence DNA and such advances provide a rapid high res...

Identifying Genes within a Genomic BAC Library

This example illustrates the identification of combigenes within the rice genomic contig library as assembled in Example 2. The genes and partial genes that are embedded in such contigs are identified through a series of informatic analyses. The tools to define genes fall into two categories: homology-based and predictive-based methods. Homology-based searches (e.g., GAP2, BLASTX supplemented by NAP and TBLASTX) detect conserved sequences during comparisons of DNA sequences or hypothetically translated protein sequences to public and / or proprietary DNA and protein databases. Existence of an Oryza sativa gene is inferred if significant sequence similarity extends over the majority of the target gene. Since homology-based methods may overlook genes unique to Oryza sativa, for which homologous nucleic acid molecules have not yet been identified in databases, gene prediction programs are also used. Predictive methods employed in the definiti...

Abstract

The present invention discloses rice genomic promoter sequences. The promoters are particularly suited for use in rice and other cereal crops. Methods of modifying, producing, and using the promoters are also disclosed. The invention further discloses compositions, transformed host cells, transgenic plants, and seeds containing the rice genomic promoter sequences, and methods for preparing and using the same.
