Abstract
Transgenic plants are provided comprising a plurality of transgenes comprised in a single locus. In certain aspects, 7 or more transgenes may be expressed from a first locus. Methods are provided for transformation of plant cells with a plurality of transgenes. Also provided are methods for expressing and enhancing the expression of one or more transgenes in a plant.
Claims22
A method for expressing a plurality of transgenes in a plant comprising:
- expressing said plurality of transgenes in the plant wherein the transgenes are comprised in a single locus said locus comprising a plurality transgenes operably linked to promoter sequences.
A method for enhancing the expression of a transgene in a transgenic plant comprising expressing the transgene as member of a plurality of transgenes arranged in tandem within a single locus, wherein the expression of the transgene is enhanced relative to the expression of the transgene in an otherwise isogenic plant in which the transgene is not expressed as a member of said plurality of transgenes arranged in tandem within said single locus.
