Nucleic Acid Molecules and Other Molecules Associated with Plants

A transformed plant comprising a nucleic acid molecule which comprises:

• (a) an exogenous promoter region which functions in a plant cell to cause the production of an mRNA molecule, which is linked to
• (b) a structural nucleic acid molecule, wherein said structural nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleic acid sequence, wherein said nucleic acid sequence shares between 100% and 90% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
• 1 through SEQ ID NO:
• 17472 and complements thereof, which is operably linked to
• (c) a 3′ non-translated sequence that functions in said plant cell to cause the termination of transcription and the addition of polyadenylated ribonucleotides to said 3′ end of said mRNA molecule.

A transformed seed comprising a transformed plant cell comprising a nucleic acid molecule which comprises:

• (a) an exogenous promoter region which functions in said plant cell to cause the production of an mRNA molecule, which is linked to
• (b) a structural nucleic acid molecule, wherein said structural nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleic acid sequence, wherein said nucleic acid sequence shares between 100% and 90% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
• 1 through SEQ ID NO:
• 17472 and complements thereof, which is linked to
• (c) a 3′ non-translated sequence that functions in said plant cell to cause the termination of transcription and the addition of polyadenylated ribonucleotides to said 3′ end of said mRNA molecule.

A method of growing a transgenic plant comprising (a) planting a transformed seed comprising a nucleic acid sequence, wherein said

• nucleic acid sequence shares between 100% and 90% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
• 1 through SEQ ID NO:
• 17472 and complements thereof, and
• (b) growing a plant from said seed.
