Abstract
Compositions and methods for influencing the metabolic state of plant cells are provided. The compositions comprise poly ADP-ribose polymerase genes and portions thereof, particularly the maize poly ADP-ribose polymerase gene as well as antisense nucleotide sequences for poly ADP-ribose polymerase genes. The nucleotide sequences find use in transforming plant cells to alter the metabolic state of the transformed plants and plant cells.
Claims10
An isolated DNA molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO. 1, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide having poly ADP-ribose polymerase activity, said polypeptide comprising at least two functional zinc fingers.
