Estimating the term…
The current invention provides nucleic acid sequences encoding the RIN and MC genes. Compositions comprising these sequences are described, as are plants transformed with such compositions. Further provided are methods for the expression of the RIN and MC genes. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the RIN and MC genes by genetic transformnation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.
An isolated nucleic acid sequence comprising a RIN coding sequence, wherein said RIN coding sequence encodes the polypeptide sequence encoded by SEQ ID NO:6.
An expression vector comprising a RIN coding sequence, wherein said RIN coding sequence encodes the polypeptide sequence encoded by SEQ ID NO:6.
A crossed fertile transgenic plant prepared according to the method comprising the steps of:
A method of manipulating the phenotype of a tomato plant comprising the steps of:
A method of plant breeding comprising the steps of:
A transgenic plant cell stably transformed with a selected DNA comprising a RIN coding sequence, wherein said RIN coding sequence encodes the polypeptide sequence encoded by SEQ ID NO:6.
