Abstract
Transgenic corn seed with high levels of free lysine resulting from a recombinant DNA construct having an endosperm specific promoter and an embryo specific promoter operably linked to gene suppression elements for suppressing the production of an endogenous lysine catabolite.
Claims7
A transgenic corn seed having at least 1300 ppm free lysine and recombinant DNA comprising an embryo specific promoter operably linked to DNA for suppressing production of the endogenous LKR-SDH protein and an endosperm specific promoter operably linked to DNA for suppressing production of the endogenous LKR-SDH protein wherein said recombinant DNA comprising DNA that is between the T-DNA borders of pMON99142 or pMON99143.
A recombinant DNA construct that is effective in providing transgenic corn seed having at least 1300 ppm free lysine, wherein said recombinant DNA construct comprises an embryo specific promoter operably linked to DNA for suppressing production of the endogenous LKR-SDH protein and an endosperm specific promoter operably linked to DNA for suppressing production of the endogenous LKR-SDH protein and wherein said recombinant DNA comprises DNA that is between the T-DNA borders of pMON99142 or pMON99143.
