Abstract:
A method of modulating seed trait(s) in a soybean or canola plant, the method comprising:providing a first plant comprising a recombinant expression cassette containing an ADC nucleic acid linked to a plant promoter, the ADC nucleic acid comprising eitheri) a nucleic acid that hybridizes under stringent conditions to SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:3,ii) a nucleic acid that encodes a protein encoded by SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:3, oriii) a nucleic acid amplified by primers that selectively hybridize under stringent conditions to the primers GGAYTGTGGGAAACAAGTTTA (SEQ ID NO: 95) and TGCAAAGTRACACCTCTATACTT (SEQ ID NO: 96) or the primers GCATGWGCAGTGTCAAATCCA (SEQ ID NO:97) and GAGGAAGTTCVAAGTATAGA (SEQ ID NO: 98);selfing the first plant or crossing the first plant with a second plant, thereby producing a plurality of seeds; andselecting seed with altered mass or altered carbohydrate protein or oil content.
