Abstract
The present invention is in the field of plant molecular biology. More specifically the invention relates to nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins and fragments of proteins. The invention also relates to proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding the proteins. The invention also relates to methods of using the nucleic acid molecules, proteins and fragments of proteins.
Claims21
1-26. (canceled)
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:
- 43 and complements thereof, and
- 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 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:
- 43 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:
- 43 and complements thereof, and
- (b) growing a plant from said seed.
A substantially purified nucleic acid molecule 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:
- 43 and complements thereof.
A substantially purified nucleic acid molecule that encodes a protein comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 70% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 44 through SEQ ID NO:
- 86.
