Abstract:
1. A method for obtaining high vigor in a cell of an oilseed rape plant, an Arabidopsis plant or a corn plant, when compared to a control plant cell, comprising introducing a chimeric gene in said cell to yield a transgenic cell, wherein said chimeric gene comprises the following operably linked DNA regions: a) a plant-expressible promoter; b) a DNA region, which when transcribed yields a RNA molecule capable of reducing the expression of endogenous PARP genes; and c) a DNA region involved in transcription termination and polyadenylation wherein said RNA molecule for introduction into said cell of said oilseed rape plant or said said sense nucleotide sequence and said antisense nucleotide sequence being capable of combining into a double stranded RNA region; or wherein said RNA molecule for introduction into said cell of said corn plant comprises
