301 results about "Open reading frame" patented technology

In molecular genetics, an open reading frame (ORF) is the part of a reading frame that has the ability to be translated. An ORF is a continuous stretch of codons that begins with a start codon (usually AUG) and ends at a stop codon (usually UAA, UAG or UGA). An ATG codon (AUG in terms of RNA) within the ORF (not necessarily the first) may indicate where translation starts. The transcription termination site is located after the ORF, beyond the translation stop codon. If transcription were to cease before the stop codon, an incomplete protein would be made during translation. In eukaryotic genes with multiple exons, introns are removed and exons are then joined together after transcription to yield the final mRNA for protein translation. In the context of gene finding, the start-stop definition of an ORF therefore only applies to spliced mRNAs, not genomic DNA, since introns may contain stop codons and/or cause shifts between reading frames. An alternative definition says that an ORF is a sequence that has a length divisible by three and is bounded by stop codons. This more general definition can also be useful in the context of transcriptomics and/or metagenomics, where start and/or stop codon may not be present in the obtained sequences. Such an ORF corresponds to parts of a gene rather than the complete gene.

Application of wheat WRKY transcription factor gene TaWRKY1

The invention discloses application of a wheat WRKY transcription factor gene TaWRKY1, and belongs to the technical field of gene engineering. A nucleotide sequence of an open reading frame of the gene TaWRKY1 is shown as SEQ ID NO: 1, and the gene TaWRKY1 is infected by stripe rust to induce expression in interaction of wheat and stripe rust, and plays a negative regulation role in wheat stripe rust resistance. A TaWRKY1 gene editing mutant plant is created by using an agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation method, the sporulation quantity on wheat leaves of the gene editing mutant is obviously reduced, and the allergic necrosis is increased, which indicates that the edited gene TaWRKY1 can improve the resistance of wheat to stripe rust. The invention provides a disease-resistant germplasm resource for the cultivation of the stripe rust-resistant wheat variety.
