RESEARCH COLLABORATION
The claimed invention, in the field of functional genomics and the characterization of plant genes for the improvement of plants, was made by or on behalf of Mendel Biotechnology, Inc. and Monsanto Company as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement, said agreement having been in effect on or before the date the claimed invention was made.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to the field of plant biology. More particularly, the present invention pertains to compositions and methods for modifying a plant phenotypically.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A plant's traits, such as its biochemical, developmental, or phenotypic characteristics, may be controlled through a number of cellular processes. One important way to manipulate that control is through transcription factors—proteins that influence the expression of a particular gene or sets of genes. Transformed and transgenic plants that comprise cells having altered levels of at least one selected transcription factor, for example, possess advantageous or desirable traits. Strategies for manipulating traits by altering a plant cell's transcription factor content can therefore result in plants and crops with new and/or improved commercially valuable properties.
Transcription factors can modulate gene expression, either increasing or decreasing (inducing or repressing) the rate of transcription. This modulation results in differential levels of gene expression at various developmental stages, in different tissues and cell types, and in response to different exogenous (e.g., environmental) and endogenous stimuli throughout the life cycle of the organism.
Because transcription factors are key controlling elements of biological pathways, altering the expression levels of one or more transcription factors can change entire biological pathways in an organism. For example, manipulation of the levels of selected transcription factors may result in increased expression of economically useful proteins or biomolecules in plants or improvement in other agriculturally relevant characteristics. Conversely, blocked or reduced expression of a transcription factor may reduce biosynthesis of unwanted compounds or remove an undesirable trait. Therefore, manipulating transcription factor levels in a plant offers tremendous potential in agricultural biotechnology for modifying a plant's traits. A number of the agriculturally relevant characteristics of plants, and desirable traits that may be imbued by gene expression are listed below.
Useful Plant Traits
Category: Abiotic Stress; Desired Trait Chilling Tolerance
The term “chilling sensitivity” has been used to describe many types of physiological damage produced at low, but above freezing, temperatures. Most crops of tropical origins such as soybean, rice, maize and cotton are easily damaged by chilling. Typical chilling damage includes wilting, necrosis, chlorosis or leakage of ions from cell membranes. The underlying mechanisms of chilling sensitivity are not completely understood yet, but probably involve the level of membrane saturation and other physiological deficiencies. For example, photoinhibition of photosynthesis (disruption of photosynthesis due to high light intensities) often occurs under clear atmospheric conditions subsequent to cold late summer/autumn nights. By some estimates, chilling accounts for monetary losses in the United States (US) second only to drought and flooding. For example, chilling may lead to yield losses and lower product quality through the delayed ripening of maize. Another consequence of poor growth is the rather poor ground cover of maize fields in spring, often resulting in soil erosion, increased occurrence of weeds, and reduced uptake of nutrients. A retarded uptake of mineral nitrogen could also lead to increased losses of nitrate into the ground water.
Category: Abiotic Stress; Desired Trait: Freezing Tolerance.
Freezing is a major environmental stress that limits where crops can be grown and reduces yields considerably, depending on the weather in a particular growing season. In addition to exceptionally stressful years that cause measurable losses of billions of dollars, less extreme stress almost certainly causes smaller yield reductions over larger areas to produce yield reductions of similar dollar value every year. For instance, in the US, the 1995 early fall frosts are estimated to have caused losses of over one billion dollars to corn and soybeans. The spring of 1998 saw an estimated $200 M of damages to Georgia alone, in the peach, blueberry and strawberry industries. The occasional freezes in Florida have shifted the citrus belt further south due to $100 M or more losses. California sustained $650 M of damage in 1998 to the citrus crop due to a winter freeze. In addition, certain crops such as Eucalyptus, which has the very favorable properties of rapid growth and good wood quality for pulping, are not able to grow in the southeastern states due to occasional freezes.
Inherent winter hardiness of the crop determines in which agricultural areas it can survive the winter. For example, for wheat, the northern central portion of the US has winters that are too cold for good winter wheat crops. Approximately 20% of the US wheat crop is spring wheat, with a market value of $2 billion. Areas growing spring wheat could benefit by growing winter wheat that had increased winter hardiness. Assuming a 25% yield increase when growing winter wheat, this would create $500 M of increased value. Additionally, the existing winter wheat is severely stressed by freezing conditions and should have improved yields with increased tolerance to these stresses. An estimate of the yield benefit of these traits is 10% of the $4.4 billion winter wheat crop in the US or $444 M of yield increase, as well as better survival in extreme freezing conditions that occur periodically.
Thus plants more resistant to freezing, both midwinter freezing and sudden freezes, would protect a farmers' investment, improve yield and quality, and allow some geographies to grow more profitable and productive crops. Additionally, winter crops such as canola, wheat and barley have 25% to 50% yield increases relative to spring planted varieties of the same crops. This yield increase is due to the “head start” the fall planted crop has over the spring planted crop and its reaching maturity earlier while the temperatures, soil moisture and lack of pathogens provide more favorable conditions.
Category: Abiotic Stress; Desired Trait: Salt Tolerance.
One in five hectares of irrigated land is damaged by salt, an important historical factor in the decline of ancient agrarian societies. This condition is only expected to worsen, further reducing the availability of arable land and crop production, since none of the top five food crops—wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybean—can tolerate excessive salt.
Detrimental effects of salt on plants are a consequence of both water deficit resulting in osmotic stress (similar to drought stress) and the effects of excess sodium ions on critical biochemical processes. As with freezing and drought, high saline causes water deficit; the presence of high salt makes it difficult for plant roots to extract water from their environment (Buchanan et al. (2000) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Plants, American Society of Plant Physiologists, Rockville, Md.). Soil salinity is thus one of the more important variables that determines where a plant may thrive. In many parts of the world, sizable land areas are uncultivable due to naturally high soil salinity. To compound the problem, salination of soils that are used for agricultural production is a significant and increasing problem in regions that rely heavily on agriculture. The latter is compounded by over-utilization, over-fertilization and water shortage, typically caused by climatic change and the demands of increasing population. Salt tolerance is of particular importance early in a plant's lifecycle, since evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement, and salt accumulates in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt level in the whole soil profile.
Category: Abiotic Stress; Desired Trait: Drought Tolerance.
While much of the weather that we experience is brief and short-lived, drought is a more gradual phenomenon, slowly taking hold of an area and tightening its grip with time. In severe cases, drought can last for many years, and can have devastating effects on agriculture and water supplies. With burgeoning population and chronic shortage of available fresh water, drought is not only the number one weather related problem in agriculture, it also ranks as one of the major natural disasters of all time, causing not only economic damage, but also loss of human lives. For example, losses from the US drought of 1988 exceeded $40 billion, exceeding the losses caused by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the Mississippi River floods of 1993, and the San Francisco earthquake in 1989. In some areas of the world, the effects of drought can be far more severe. In the Horn of Africa the 1984-1985 drought led to a famine that killed 750,000 people.
Problems for plants caused by low water availability include mechanical stresses caused by the withdrawal of cellular water. Drought also causes plants to become more susceptible to various diseases (Simpson (1981). “The Value of Physiological Knowledge of Water Stress in Plants”, In Water Stress on Plants, (Simpson, G. M., ed.), Praeger, N.Y., pp. 235-265).
In addition to the many land regions of the world that are too arid for most if not all crop plants, overuse and over-utilization of available water is resulting in an increasing loss of agriculturally-usable land, a process which, in the extreme, results in desertification. The problem is further compounded by increasing salt accumulation in soils, as described above, which adds to the loss of available water in soils.
Category: Abiotic Stress; Desired Trait: Heat Tolerance.
Germination of many crops is very sensitive to temperature. A transcription factor that would enhance germination in hot conditions would be useful for crops that are planted late in the season or in hot climates.
Seedlings and mature plants that are exposed to excess heat may experience heat shock, which may arise in various organs, including leaves and particularly fruit, when transpiration is insufficient to overcome heat stress. Heat also damages cellular structures, including organelles and cytoskeleton, and impairs membrane function (Buchanan, supra).
Heat shock may result a decrease in overall protein synthesis, accompanied by expression of heat shock proteins. Heat shock proteins function as chaperones and are involved in refolding proteins denatured by heat.
Category: Abiotic Stress; Desired Trait: Tolerance to Low Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
The ability of all plants to remove nutrients from their environment is essential to survival. Thus, identification of genes that encode polypeptides with transcription factor activity may allow for the generation of transgenic plants that are better able to make use of available nutrients in nutrient-poor environments.
Among the most important macronutrients for plant growth that have the largest impact on crop yield are nitrogenous and phosphorus-containing compounds. Nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing fertilizers are used intensively in agriculture practices today. An increase in grain crop yields from 0.5 to 1.0 metric tons per hectare to 7 metric tons per hectare accompanied the use of commercial fixed nitrogen fertilizer in production farming (Vance (2001) Plant Physiol. 127: 390-397). Given current practices, in order to meet food production demands in years to come, considerable increases in the amount of nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing fertilizers will be required (Vance, supra).
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere yet it is one of the most limiting elements to plant growth due to its lack of availability in the soil. Plants obtain N from the soil from several sources including commercial fertilizers, manure and the mineralization of organic matter. The intensive use of N fertilizers in present agricultural practices is problematic, the energy intensive Haber-Bosch process makes N fertilizer and it is estimated that the US uses annually between 3-5% of the nation's natural gas for this process. In addition to the expense of N fertilizer production and the depletion of non-renewable resources, the use of N fertilizers has led to the eutrophication of freshwater ecosystems and the contamination of drinking water due to the runoff of excess fertilizer into ground water supplies.
Phosphorus is second only to N in its importance as a macronutrient for plant growth and to its impact on crop yield. Phosphorus (P) is extremely immobile and not readily available to roots in the soil and is therefore often growth limiting to plants. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is a constituent of several important molecules required for energy transfer, metabolic regulation and protein activation (Marschner (1995) Mineral Nutrition of Higher Plants, 2nd ed., Academic Press, San Diego, Calif.). Plants have evolved several strategies to help cope with P and N deprivation that include metabolic as well as developmental adaptations. Most, if not all, of these strategies have components that are regulated at the level of transcription and therefore are amenable to manipulation by transcription factors. Metabolic adaptations include increasing the availability of P and N by increasing uptake from the soil though the induction of high affinity and low affinity transporters, and/or increasing its mobilization in the plant. Developmental adaptations include increases in primary and secondary roots, increases in root hair number and length, and associations with mycorrhizal fungi (Bates and Lynch (1996) Plant Cell Environ. 19: 529-538; Harrison (1999) Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 50: 361-389).
Category: Biotic Stress; Desired Trait: Disease Resistance.
Disease management is a significant expense in crop production worldwide. According to EPA reports for 1996 and 1997, US farmers spend approximately $6 billion on fungicides annually. Despite this expenditure, according to a survey conducted by the food and agriculture organization, plant diseases still reduce worldwide crop productivity by 12% and in the United States alone, economic losses due to plant pathogens amounts to 9.1 billion dollars (FAO, 1993). Data from these reports and others demonstrate that despite the availability of chemical control only a small proportion of the losses due to disease can be prevented. Not only are fungicides and anti-bacterial treatments expensive to growers, but their widespread application poses both environmental and health risks. The use of plant biotechnology to engineer disease resistant crops has the potential to make a significant economic impact on agriculture and forestry industries in two ways: reducing the monetary and environmental expense of fungicide application and reducing both pre-harvest and post-harvest crop losses that occur now despite the use of costly disease management practices.
Fungal, bacterial, oomycete, viral, and nematode diseases of plants are ubiquitous and important problems, and often severely impact yield and quality of crop and other plants. A very few examples of diseases of plants include:
Powdery mildew, caused by the fungi Erysiphe, Sphaerotheca, Phyllactinia, Microsphaera, Podosphaera, or Uncinula, in, for example, wheat, bean, cucurbit, lettuce, pea, grape, tree fruit crops, as well as roses, phlox, lilacs, grasses, and Euonymus;
Fusarium-caused diseases such as Fusarium wilt in cucurbits, Fusarium head blight in barley and wheat, wilt and crown and root rot in tomatoes;
Sudden oak death, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora ramorum; this disease was first detected in 1995 in California tan oaks. The disease has since killed more than 100,000 tan oaks, coast live oaks, black oaks, and Shreve's oaks in coastal regions of northern California, and more recently in southwestern Oregon (Roach (2001) National Geographic News, Dec. 6, 2001);
Black Sigatoka, a fungal disease caused by Mycosphaerella species that attacks banana foliage, is spreading throughout the regions of the world that are responsible for producing most of the world's banana crop;
Eutypa dieback, caused by Eutypa lata, affects a number of crop plants, including vine grape. Eutypa dieback delays shoot emergence, and causes chlorosis, stunting, and tattering of leaves;
Pierce's disease, caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, precludes growth of grapes in the southeastern United States, and threatens the profitable wine grape industry in northern California. The bacterium clogs the vasculature of the grapevines, resulting in foliar scorching followed by slow death of the vines. There is no known treatment for Pierce's disease;
Bacterial Spot caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris causes serious disease problems on tomatoes and peppers. It is a significant problem in the Florida tomato industry because it spreads rapidly, especially in warm periods where there is wind-driven rain. Under these conditions, there are no adequate control measures;
Diseases caused by viruses of the family Geminiviridae are a growing agricultural problem worldwide. Geminiviruses have caused severe crop losses in tomato, cassava, and cotton. For instance, in the 1991-1992 growing season in Florida, geminiviruses caused $140 million in damages to the tomato crop (Moffat (1991) Science 286: 1835). Geminiviruses have the ability to recombine between strains to rapidly produce new virulent varieties. Therefore, there is a pressing need for broad-spectrum geminivirus control;
The soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, causes stunting and chlorosis of soybean plants, which results in yield losses or plant death from severe infestation. Annual losses in the United States have been estimated at $1.5 billion (University of Minnesota Extension Service).
The aforementioned pathogens represent a very small fraction of diverse species that seriously affect plant health and yield. For a more complete description of numerous plant diseases, see, for example, Vidhyasekaran (1997) Fungal Pathogenesis in Plants and Crops: Molecular Biology and Host Defense Mechanisms, Marcel Dekker, Monticello, N.Y.), or Agrios (1997) Plant Pathology, Academic Press, New York, N.Y.). Plants that are able to resist disease may produce significantly higher yields and improved food quality. It is thus of considerable importance to find genes that reduce or prevent disease.
Category: Light Response; Desired Trait: Reduced Shade Avoidance.
Shade avoidance describes the process in which plants grown in close proximity attempt to out-compete each other by increasing stem length at the expense of leaf, fruit and storage organ development. This is caused by the plant's response to far-red radiation reflected from leaves of neighboring plants, which is mediated by phytochrome photoreceptors. Close proximity to other plants, as is produced in high-density crop plantings, increases the relative proportion of far-red irradiation, and therefore induces the shade avoidance response. Shade avoidance adversely affects biomass and yield, particularly when leaves, fruits or other storage organs constitute the desired crop (see, for example, Smith (1982) Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. 33: 481-518; Ballare et al. (1990) Science 247: 329-332; Smith (1995) Annu. Dev. Plant Physiol. Mol. Biol., 46: 289-315; and Schmitt et al. (1995), American Naturalist, 146: 937-953). Alteration of the shade avoidance response in tobacco through alteration of phytochrome levels has been shown to produce an increase in harvest index (leaf biomass/total biomass) at high planting density, which would result in higher yield (Robson et al. (1996) Nature Biotechnol. 14: 995-998).
Category: Flowering Time Desired Trait: Altered Flowering Time and Flowering Control.
Timing of flowering has a significant impact on production of agricultural products. For example, varieties with different flowering responses to environmental cues are necessary to adapt crops to different production regions or systems. Such a range of varieties have been developed for many crops, including wheat, corn, soybean, and strawberry. Improved methods for alteration of flowering time will facilitate the development of new, geographically adapted varieties.
Breeding programs for the development of new varieties can be limited by the seed-to-seed cycle. Thus, breeding new varieties of plants with multi-year cycles (such as biennials, e.g. carrot, or fruit trees, such as citrus) can be very slow. With respect to breeding programs, there would be a significant advantage in having commercially valuable plants that exhibit controllable and modified periods to flowering (“flowering times”). For example, accelerated flowering would shorten crop and tree breeding programs.
Improved flowering control allows more than one planting and harvest of a crop to be made within a single season. Early flowering would also improve the time to harvest plants in which the flower portion of the plant constitutes the product (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower, and other edible flowers). In addition, chemical control of flowering through induction or inhibition of flowering in plants could provide a significant advantage to growers by inducing more uniform fruit production (e.g., in strawberry)
A sizable number of plants for which the vegetative portion of the plant forms the valuable crop tend to “bolt” dramatically (e.g., spinach, onions, lettuce), after which biomass production declines and product quality diminishes (e.g., through flowering-triggered senescence of vegetative parts). Delay or prevention of flowering may also reduce or preclude dissemination of pollen from transgenic plants.
Category: Growth Rate; Desired Trait: Modified Growth Rate.
For almost all commercial crops, it is desirable to use plants that establish more quickly, since seedlings and young plants are particularly susceptible to stress conditions such as salinity or disease. Since many weeds may outgrow young crops or out-compete them for nutrients, it would also be desirable to determine means for allowing young crop plants to out compete weed species. Increasing seedling growth rate (emergence) contributes to seedling vigor and allows for crops to be planted earlier in the season with less concern for losses due to environmental factors. Early planting helps add days to the critical grain-filling period and increases yield.
Providing means to speed up or slow down plant growth would also be desirable to ornamental horticulture. If such means be provided, slow growing plants may exhibit prolonged pollen-producing or fruiting period, thus improving fertilization or extending harvesting season.
Category: Growth Rate; Desired Trait: Modified Senescence and Cell Death.
Premature senescence, triggered by various plant stresses, can limit production of both leaf biomass and seed yield. Transcription factor genes that suppress premature senescence or cell death in response to stresses can provide means for increasing yield. Delay of normal developmental senescence could also enhance yield, particularly for those plants for which the vegetative part of the plant represents the commercial product (e.g., spinach, lettuce).
Although leaf senescence is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation to recycle nutrients, the ability to control senescence in an agricultural setting has significant value. For example, a delay in leaf senescence in some maize hybrids is associated with a significant increase in yields and a delay of a few days in the senescence of soybean plants can have a large impact on yield. In an experimental setting, tobacco plants engineered to inhibit leaf senescence had a longer photosynthetic lifespan, and produced a 50% increase in dry weight and seed yield (Gan and Amasino (1995) Science 270: 1986-1988). Delayed flower senescence may generate plants that retain their blossoms longer and this may be of potential interest to the ornamental horticulture industry, and delayed foliar and fruit senescence could improve post-harvest shelf-life of produce.
Further, programmed cell death plays a role in other plant responses, including the resistance response to disease, and some symptoms of diseases, for example, as caused by necrotrophic pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Dickman et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 98: 6957-6962). Localized senescence and/or cell death can be used by plants to contain the spread of harmful microorganisms. A specific localized cell death response, the “hypersensitive response”, is a component of race-specific disease resistance mediated by plant resistance genes. The hypersensitive response is thought to help limit pathogen growth and to initiate a signal transduction pathway that leads to the induction of systemic plant defenses. Accelerated senescence may be a defense against obligate pathogens, such as powdery mildew, that rely on healthy plant tissue for nutrients. With regard to powdery mildew, Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and other pathogens, transcription factors that ameliorate cell death and/or damage may reduce the significant economic losses encountered, such as, for example, Botrytis cinerea in strawberry and grape.
Category: Growth Regulator; Desired Trait: Altered Sugar Sensing
Sugars are key regulatory molecules that affect diverse processes in higher plants including germination, growth, flowering, senescence, sugar metabolism and photosynthesis. Sucrose, for example, is the major transport form of photosynthate and its flux through cells has been shown to affect gene expression and alter storage compound accumulation in seeds (source-sink relationships). Glucose-specific hexose-sensing has also been described in plants and is implicated in cell division and repression of “famine” genes (photosynthetic or glyoxylate cycles).
Category: Morphology; Desired Trait: Altered Morphology
Trichomes are branched or unbranched epidermal outgrowths or hair structures on a plant. Trichomes produce a variety of secondary biochemicals such as diterpenes and waxes, the former being important as, for example, insect pheromones, and the latter as protectants against desiccation and herbivorous pests. Since diterpenes also have commercial value as flavors, aromas, pesticides and cosmetics, and potential value as anti-tumor agents and inflammation-mediating substances, they have been both products and the target of considerable research. In most cases where the metabolic pathways are impossible to engineer, increasing trichome density or size on leaves may be the only way to increase plant productivity. Thus, it would be advantageous to discover trichome-affecting transcription factor genes for the purpose of increasing trichome density, size, or type to produce plants that are better protected from insects or that yield higher amounts of secondary metabolites.
The ability to manipulate wax composition, amount, or distribution could modify plant tolerance to drought and low humidity or resistance to insects, as well as plant appearance. In particular, a possible application for a transcription factor gene that reduces wax production in sunflower seed coats would be to reduce fouling during seed oil processing. Antisense or co-suppression of transcription factors involved in wax biosynthesis in a tissue specific manner can be used to specifically alter wax composition, amount, or distribution in those plants and crops from which wax is either a valuable attribute or product or an undesirable constituent of plants.
Other morphological characteristics that may be desirable in plants include those of an ornamental nature. These include changes in seed color, overall color, leaf and flower shape, leaf color, leaf size, or glossiness of leaves. Plants that produce dark leaves may have benefits for human health; flavonoids, for example, have been used to inhibit tumor growth, prevent of bone loss, and prevention lipid oxidation in animals and humans. Plants in which leaf size is increased would likely provide greater biomass, which would be particularly valuable for crops in which the vegetative portion of the plant constitutes the product. Plants with glossy leaves generally produce greater epidermal wax, which, if it could be augmented, resulted in a pleasing appearance for many ornamentals, help prevent desiccation, and resist herbivorous insects and disease-causing agents. Changes in plant or plant part coloration, brought about by modifying, for example, anthocyanin levels, would provide novel morphological features.
In many instances, the seeds of a plant constitute a valuable crop. These include, for example, the seeds of many legumes, nuts and grains. The discovery of means for producing larger seed would provide significant value by bringing about an increase in crop yield.
Plants with altered inflorescence, including, for example, larger flowers or distinctive floral configurations, may have high value in the ornamental horticulture industry.
Modifications to flower structure may have advantageous or deleterious effects on fertility, and could be used, for example, to decrease fertility by the absence, reduction or screening of reproductive components. This could be a desirable trait, as it could be exploited to prevent or minimize the escape of the pollen of genetically modified organisms into the environment.
Manipulation of inflorescence branching patterns may also be used to influence yield and offer the potential for more effective harvesting techniques. For example, a “self pruning” mutation of tomato results in a determinate growth pattern and facilitates mechanical harvesting (Pnueli et al. (2001) Plant Cell 13(12): 2687-2702).
Alterations of apical dominance or plant architecture could create new plant varieties. Dwarf plants may be of potential interest to the ornamental horticulture industry.
Category: Seed Biochemistry; Desired Trait: Altered Seed Oil
The composition of seeds, particularly with respect to seed oil quantity and/or composition, is very important for the nutritional value and production of various food and feed products. Desirable improvements to oils include enhanced heat stability, improved nutritional quality through, for example, reducing the number of calories in seed, increasing the number of calories in animal feeds, or altering the ratio of saturated to unsaturated lipids comprising the oils.
Category: Seed Biochemistry; Desired Trait: Altered Seed Protein
As with seed oils, seed protein content and composition is very important for the nutritional value and production of various food and feed products. Altered protein content or concentration in seeds may be used to provide nutritional benefits, and may also prolong storage capacity, increase seed pest or disease resistance, or modify germination rates. Altered amino acid composition of seeds, through altered protein composition, is also a desired objective for nutritional improvement.
Category: Seed Biochemistry: Desired Trait: Altered Prenyl Lipids.
Prenyl lipids, including the tocopherols, play a role in anchoring proteins in membranes or membranous organelles. Tocopherols have both anti-oxidant and vitamin E activity. Modified tocopherol composition of plants may thus be useful in improving membrane integrity and function, which may mitigate abiotic stresses such as heat stress. Increasing the anti-oxidant and vitamin content of plants through increased tocopherol content can provide useful human health benefits.
Category: Leaf Biochemistry; Desired Trait: Altered Glucosinolate Levels
Increases or decreases in specific glucosinolates or total glucosinolate content can be desirable depending upon the particular application. For example: (i) glucosinolates are undesirable components of the oilseeds used in animal feed, since they produce toxic effects; low-glucosinolate varieties of canola have been developed to combat this problem; (ii) some glucosinolates have anti-cancer activity; thus, increasing the levels or composition of these compounds can be of use in production of nutraceuticals; and (iii) glucosinolates form part of a plant's natural defense against insects; modification of glucosinolate composition or quantity could therefore afford increased protection from herbivores. Furthermore, tissue specific promoters can be used in edible crops to ensure that these compounds accumulate specifically in particular tissues, such as the epidermis, which are not taken for human consumption.
Category: Leaf Biochemistry; Desired Trait: Flavonoid Production.
Expression of transcription factors that increase flavonoid production in plants, including anthocyanins and condensed tannins, may be used to alter pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly to increase stress resistance. Flavonoids have antimicrobial activity and could be used to engineer pathogen resistance. Several flavonoid compounds have human health promoting effects such as inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of bone loss and prevention of lipid oxidation. Increased levels of condensed tannins in forage legumes would provide agronomic benefits in ruminants by preventing pasture bloat by collapsing protein foams within the rumen. For a review on the utilities of flavonoids and their derivatives, see Dixon et al. (1999) Trends Plant Sci. 4: 394-400.
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for producing transgenic plants with modified traits, particularly traits that address the agricultural and food needs described in the above background information. These traits may provide significant value in that they allow the plant to thrive in hostile environments, where, for example, temperature, water and nutrient availability or salinity may limit or prevent growth of non-transgenic plants. The traits may also comprise desirable morphological alterations, larger or smaller size, disease and pest resistance, alterations in flowering time, light response, and others.
We have identified polynucleotides encoding transcription factors, developed numerous transgenic plants using these polynucleotides, and have analyzed the plants for a variety of important traits. In so doing, we have identified important polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences for producing commercially valuable plants and crops as well as the methods for making them and using them. Other aspects and embodiments of the invention are described below and can be derived from the teachings of this disclosure as a whole.

The transgenic plant that comprises the recombinant polynucleotide has a polynucleotide sequence, or a sequence that is complementary to this polynucleotide sequence, selected from any of the following:
(a) a polynucleotide sequence that encodes one of the transcription factor polypeptide sequences of Paragraph 2 of this Summary; or
(b) a polynucleotide sequence that comprises one of the polynucleotide sequences of paragraph 3 of this Summary.
The transgenic plant may also comprise a polynucleotide sequence that is a variant of the sequences in (a) and (b) that encode a polypeptide and regulate transcription, including:
(c) a sequence variant of the polynucleotide sequences of (a) or (b);
(d) an allelic variant of the polynucleotide sequences of (a) or (b);
(e) a splice variant of the polynucleotide sequences of (a) or (b);
(f) an orthologous sequence of the polynucleotide sequences of (a) or (b);
(g) a paralogous sequence of the polynucleotide sequences of (a) or (b);
(h) a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising a conserved domain that exhibits at least 70% sequence homology with the polypeptide of (a), and the polypeptide comprises a conserved domain of a transcription factor that regulates transcription; or
(i) a polynucleotide sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a polynucleotide sequence of one or more polynucleotides of (a) or (b), and the polynucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide that regulates transcription.
A transcription factor sequence variant is one having at least 26% amino acid sequence similarity, or at least 40% amino acid sequence identity. A preferred transcription factor sequence variant is one having at least 50% amino acid sequence identity and a more preferred transcription factor sequence variant is one having at least 65% amino acid sequence identity to the transcription factor polypeptide sequences of paragraph 3 of this Summary, and that contains at least one functional or structural characteristic of the similar transcription factor polypeptide sequences. Sequences having lesser degrees of identity but comparable biological activity are considered to be equivalents.
The transcription factor polypeptides of the present invention include at least one conserved domain, and the portions of the polynucleotide sequences encoding the conserved domain generally exhibit at least 70% sequence identity with the aforementioned preferred polynucleotide sequences. In the case of zinc finger transcription factors, the percent identity across the conserved domain may be as low as 50%.
Various types of plants may be used to generate the transgenic plants, including soybean, wheat, corn, potato, cotton, rice, oilseed rape, sunflower, alfalfa, clover, sugarcane, turf, banana, blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, cantaloupe, carrot, cauliflower, coffee, cucumber, eggplant, grapes, honeydew, lettuce, mango, melon, onion, papaya, peas, peppers, pineapple, pumpkin, spinach, squash, sweet corn, tobacco, tomato, watermelon, mint and other labiates, rosaceous fruits, and vegetable brassicas.
The transgenic plant may be monocotyledonous, plant, and the polynucleotide sequences used to transform the transgenic plant may be derived from either a monocot or a dicot plant. Alternatively, the transgenic plant may be a dicotyledonous plant, and the polynucleotide sequences used to transform the transgenic plant may be derived from either a monocot or a dicot plant.
These transgenic plants will generally possess traits that are altered as compared to a control plant, such as a wild-type or non-transformed plant (i.e., the non-transformed plant does not comprise the recombinant polynucleotide), thus producing an phenotype that is altered when compared to the control, wild-type or non-transformed plant. These transgenic plants may also express an altered level of one or more genes associated with a plant trait as compared to the non-transformed plant. The encoded polypeptides in these transgenic plants will generally be expressed and regulate transcription of at least one gene; this gene will generally confer at least one altered trait, phenotype or expression level.
Any of the polynucleotide sequences listed in the Sequence Listing, their complements, and functional variants used to transform the transgenic plants of the present invention may further comprise regulatory elements. The regulatory elements, may comprise, for example, constitutive, inducible, or tissue-specific promoters operably linked to a polynucleotide sequence.
Presently disclosed transcription factor sequences may be used to produce transformed plants with a variety of improved traits. An example of such an altered trait is enhanced tolerance to abiotic stress, such as salt tolerance, chilling conditions, and drought conditions. Salt and drought tolerance, both forms of osmotic stress, may be mediatedin part by increased root growth or increased root hairs relative to a non-transformed, control or wild-type plant. Tolerance to abiotic stresses such as salt, chilling and drought tolerance may confer a number of survival, quality and yield improvements, including improved seed germination and improved seedling vigor, plant survival, as well as improved yield, quality, and range.
Another example of an altered trait that may be conferred by transforming plants with the presently disclosed transcription factor sequences includes altered sugar sensing. Altered sugar sensing may also be used to confer improved seed germination and improved seedling vigor, as well as altered flowering, senescence, sugar metabolism and photosynthesis characteristics.
The invention also pertains to method to produce these transgenic plants.
The present invention also relates to a method of using transgenic plants transformed with the presently disclosed transcription factor sequences, their complements or their variants to grow a progeny plant by crossing the transgenic plant with either itself or another plant, selecting seed that develops as a result of the crossing; and then growing the progeny plant from the seed. The progeny plant will generally express mRNA that encodes a transcription factor: that is, a DNA-binding protein that binds to a DNA regulatory sequence and regulates gene expression, such as that of a plant trait gene. The mRNA will generally be expressed at a level greater than a non-transformed plant; and the progeny plant is characterized by a change in a plant trait compared to the non-transformed plant.
The present invention also pertains to an expression cassette. The expression cassette comprises at least two elements, including:
(1) a constitutive, inducible, or tissue-specific promoter; and
(2) a recombinant polynucleotide having a polynucleotide sequence, or a complementary polynucleotide sequence thereof, selected from the group consisting of a polynucleotide sequence encoding a (a) polypeptide sequence selected from the transcription factor sequences in the third paragraph of this Summary; or (b) a polynucleotide sequence selected from the transcription factor polynucleotides of second paragraph of this Summary, or (c) sequence variants such as allelic or splice variants of the polynucleotide sequences of (a) or (b), where the sequence variant encodes a polypeptide that regulates transcription. The polynucleotide sequence may also comprise an orthologous or paralogous sequence of the polynucleotide sequences of (a) or (b), with these sequences encoding a polypeptide that regulates transcription, a polynucleotide sequence that encoding a polypeptide having a conserved domain that exhibits 72% or greater sequence homology with the polypeptide of (a), where the polypeptide comprising the conserved domain regulates transcription, or a polynucleotide sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a polynucleotide sequence of one or more polynucleotides of (a) or (b), where the latter polynucleotide sequence regulates transcription. In all of these cases, the recombinant polynucleotide is operably linked to the promoter of the expression cassette.
The invention also includes a host cell that comprises the expression cassette. The host cell may be a plant cell, such as, for example, a cell of a crop plant.
The invention also concerns a method for identifying a factor that is modulated by or interacts with a polypeptide of the third paragraph of this Summary. This method is conducted by: expressing the polypeptide in a plant; and then identifying at least one factor that is modulated by or interacts with the polypeptide.
The invention also pertains to a method for identifying at least one downstream polynucleotide sequence that is subject to a regulatory effect of any of the polypeptides of the third paragraph of this Summary. This method includes expressing any of the polypeptides of the third paragraph of this Summary in a plant cell; and then identifying resultant RNA or protein. The latter identification may be carried out with, for example, such methods that include Northern analysis, RT-PCR, microarray gene expression assays, reporter gene expression systems subtractive hybridization, differential display, representational differential analysis, or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of one or more protein products.
The invention also provides a transgenic plant comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide with a conserved domain, wherein the conserved domain comprises consecutive amino acid residues Ser-Ser-Lys/Arg-Tyr/Phe-Gly-Val-Val-Pro-Gln-Pro-Asn-Gly-Arg-Typ-Gly-Ala-Gln-Ile-Tyr-Glu-Lys/Arg-His-Gln-Arg-Val-Trp-Leu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Xaa-Glu/Asp-Glu-Glu/Asp-Glu/Asp-Ala-Ala/Val-Arg-Ala/Ser-Tyr-Asp-Val/Ile-Ala/Val-Val/Ala-Xaa-Arg-Phe/Tyr-Arg-Arg/Gly-Arg-Asp-Ala-Val-Thr/Val-Asn-Phe-Lys/Arg of SEQ ID NO:170, wherein Xaa is any amino acid residue.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
In an important aspect, the present invention relates to polynucleotides and polypeptides, for example, for modifying phenotypes of plants. Throughout this disclosure, various information sources are referred to and/or are specifically incorporated. The information sources include scientific journal articles, patent documents, textbooks, and World Wide Web browser-inactive page addresses, for example. While the reference to these information sources clearly indicates that they can be used by one of skill in the art, each and every one of the information sources cited herein are specifically incorporated in their entirety, whether or not a specific mention of “incorporation by reference” is noted. The contents and teachings of each and every one of the information sources can be relied on and used to make and use embodiments of the invention.
It must be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, a reference to “a plant” includes a plurality of such plants, and a reference to “a stress” is a reference to one or more stresses and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.
The polynucleotide sequences of the invention encode polypeptides that are members of well-known transcription factor families, including plant transcription factor families, as disclosed in Tables 4-5. Generally, the transcription factors encoded by the present sequences are involved in cellular metabolism, cell differentiation and proliferation and the regulation of growth. Accordingly, one skilled in the art would recognize that by expressing the present sequences in a plant, one may change the expression of autologous genes or induce the expression of introduced genes. By affecting the expression of similar autologous sequences in a plant that have the biological activity of the present sequences, or by introducing the present sequences into a plant, one may alter a plant's phenotype to one with improved traits. The sequences of the invention may also be used to transform a plant and introduce desirable traits not found in the wild-type cultivar or strain. Plants may then be selected for those that produce the most desirable degree of over- or under-expression of target genes of interest and coincident trait improvement.
The sequences of the present invention may be from any species, particularly plant species, in a naturally occurring form or from any source whether natural, synthetic, semi-synthetic or recombinant. The sequences of the invention may also include fragments of the present amino acid sequences. In this context, a “fragment” refers to a fragment of a polypeptide sequence which is at least 5 to about 15 amino acids in length, most preferably at least 14 amino acids, and which retain some biological activity of a transcription factor. Where “amino acid sequence” is recited to refer to an amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring protein molecule, “amino acid sequence” and like terms are not meant to limit the amino acid sequence to the complete native amino acid sequence associated with the recited protein molecule.
As one of ordinary skill in the art recognizes, transcription factors can be identified by the presence of a region or domain of structural similarity or identity to a specific consensus sequence or the presence of a specific consensus DNA-binding site or DNA-binding site motif (see, for example, Riechmann et al. (2000) Science 290: 2105-2110). The plant transcription factors may belong to one of the following transcription factor families: the AP2 (APETALA2) domain transcription factor family (Riechmann and Meyerowitz (1998) Biol. Chem. 379: 633-646); the MYB transcription factor family (ENBib; Martin and Paz-Ares (1997) Trends Genet. 13: 67-73); the MADS domain transcription factor family (Riechmann and Meyerowitz (1997) Biol.

Sci. 54:582-596); the homeobox (HB) protein family (Buerglin (1994) in Guidebook to the Homeobox Genes, Duboule (ed.) Oxford University Press); the CAAT-element binding proteins (Forsburg and Guarente (1989) Genes Dev. 3: 1166-1178); the squamosa promoter binding proteins (SPB) (Klein et al. (1996) Mol. Gen. Genet. 1996 250: 7-16); the NAM protein family (Souer et al. (1996) Cell 85: 159-170); the IAA/AUX proteins (Abel et al. (1995) J. Mol. Biol. 251: 533-549); the HLH/MYC protein family (Littlewood et al. (1994) Prot. Profile 1: 639-709); the DNA-binding protein (DBP) family (Tucker et al.

As indicated by any part of the list above and as known in the art, transcription factors have been sometimes categorized by class, family, and sub-family according to their structural content and consensus DNA-binding site motif, for example. Many of the classes and many of the families and sub-families are listed here. However, the inclusion of one sub-family and not another, or the inclusion of one family and not another, does not mean that the invention does not encompass polynucleotides or polypeptides of a certain family or sub-family. The list provided here is merely an example of the types of transcription factors and the knowledge available concerning the consensus sequences and consensus DNA-binding site motifs that help define them as known to those of skill in the art (each of the references noted above are specifically incorporated herein by reference). A transcription factor may include, but is not limited to, any polypeptide that can activate or repress transcription of a single gene or a number of genes. This polypeptide group includes, but is not limited to, DNA-binding proteins, DNA-binding protein binding proteins, protein kinases, protein phosphatases, protein methyltransferases, GTP-binding proteins, and receptors, and the like.
In addition to methods for modifying a plant phenotype by employing one or more polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention described herein, the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention have a variety of additional uses. These uses include their use in the recombinant production (i.e., expression) of proteins; as regulators of plant gene expression, as diagnostic probes for the presence of complementary or partially complementary nucleic acids (including for detection of natural coding nucleic acids); as substrates for further reactions, e.g., mutation reactions, PCR reactions, or the like; as substrates for cloning e.g., including digestion or ligation reactions; and for identifying exogenous or endogenous modulators of the transcription factors. A “polynucleotide” is a nucleic acid molecule comprising a plurality of polymerized nucleotides, e.g., at least about 15 consecutive polymerized nucleotides, optionally at least about 30 consecutive nucleotides, at least about 50 consecutive nucleotides. A polynucleotide may be a nucleic acid, oligonucleotide, nucleotide, or any fragment thereof. In many instances, a polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide (or protein) or a domain or fragment thereof. Additionally, the polynucleotide may comprise a promoter, an intron, an enhancer region, a polyadenylation site, a translation initiation site, 5′ or 3′ untranslated regions, a reporter gene, a selectable marker, or the like. The polynucleotide can be single stranded or double stranded DNA or RNA. The polynucleotide optionally comprises modified bases or a modified backbone. The polynucleotide can be, e.g., genomic DNA or RNA, a transcript (such as an mRNA), a cDNA, a PCR product, a cloned DNA, a synthetic DNA or RNA, or the like. The polynucleotide can be combined with carbohydrate, lipids, protein, or other materials to perform a particular activity such as transformation or form a useful composition such as a peptide nucleic acid (PNA). The polynucleotide can comprise a sequence in either sense or antisense orientations. “Oligonucleotide” is substantially equivalent to the terms amplimer, primer, oligomer, element, target, and probe and is preferably single stranded.
DEFINITIONS
A “recombinant polynucleotide” is a polynucleotide that is not in its native state, e.g., the polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence not found in nature, or the polynucleotide is in a context other than that in which it is naturally found, e.g., separated from nucleotide sequences with which it typically is in proximity in nature, or adjacent (or contiguous with) nucleotide sequences with which it typically is not in proximity. For example, the sequence at issue can be cloned into a vector, or otherwise recombined with one or more additional nucleic acid.
An “isolated polynucleotide” is a polynucleotide whether naturally occurring or recombinant, that is present outside the cell in which it is typically found in nature, whether purified or not. Optionally, an isolated polynucleotide is subject to one or more enrichment or purification procedures, e.g., cell lysis, extraction, centrifugation, precipitation, or the like.
A “polypeptide” is an amino acid sequence comprising a plurality of consecutive polymerized amino acid residues e.g., at least about 15 consecutive polymerized amino acid residues, optionally at least about 30 consecutive polymerized amino acid residues, at least about 50 consecutive polymerized amino acid residues. In many instances, a polypeptide comprises a polymerized amino acid residue sequence that is a transcription factor or a domain or portion or fragment thereof. A transcription factor can regulate gene expression and may increase or decrease gene expression in a plant. Additionally, the polypeptide may comprise 1) a localization domain, 2) an activation domain, 3) a repression domain, 4) an oligomerization domain, or 5) a DNA-binding domain, or the like. The polypeptide optionally comprises modified amino acid residues, naturally occurring amino acid residues not encoded by a codon, non-naturally occurring amino acid residues.
A “recombinant polypeptide” is a polypeptide produced by translation of a recombinant polynucleotide. A “synthetic polypeptide” is a polypeptide created by consecutive polymerization of isolated amino acid residues using methods well known in the art. An “isolated polypeptide,” whether a naturally occurring or a recombinant polypeptide, is more enriched in (or out of) a cell than the polypeptide in its natural state in a wild-type cell, e.g., more than about 5% enriched, more than about 10% enriched, or more than about 20%, or more than about 50%, or more, enriched, i.e., alternatively denoted: 105%, 110%, 120%, 150% or more, enriched relative to wild type standardized at 100%. Such an enrichment is not the result of a natural response of a wild-type plant. Alternatively, or additionally, the isolated polypeptide is separated from other cellular components with which it is typically associated, e.g., by any of the various protein purification methods herein.
“Identity” or “similarity” refers to sequence similarity between two polynucleotide sequences or between two polypeptide sequences, with identity being a more strict comparison. The phrases “percent identity” and “% identity” refer to the percentage of sequence similarity found in a comparison of two or more polynucleotide sequences or two or more polypeptide sequences. “Sequence similarity” refers to the percent similarity in base pair sequence (as determined by any suitable method) between two or more polynucleotide sequences. Two or more sequences can be anywhere from 0-100% similar, or any integer value therebetween. Identity or similarity can be determined by comparing a position in each sequence that may be aligned for purposes of comparison. When a position in the compared sequence is occupied by the same nucleotide base or amino acid, then the molecules are identical at that position. A degree of similarity or identity between polynucleotide sequences is a function of the number of identical or matching nucleotides at positions shared by the polynucleotide sequences. A degree of identity of polypeptide sequences is a function of the number of identical amino acids at positions shared by the polypeptide sequences. A degree of homology or similarity of polypeptide sequences is a function of the number of amino acids at positions shared by the polypeptide sequences.
“Alignment” refers to a number of DNA or amino acid sequences aligned by lengthwise comparison so that components in common (i.e., nucleotide bases or amino acid residues) may be visually and readily identified. The fraction or percentage of components in common is related to the homology or identity between the sequences. Alignments such as those of FIG. 3, 4, or 5 may be used to identify conserved domains and relatedness within these domains. An alignment may suitably be determined by means of computer programs known in the art, such as MACVECTOR software (1999) (Accelrys, Inc., San Diego, Calif.).
The terms “highly stringent” or “highly stringent condition” refer to conditions that permit hybridization of DNA strands whose sequences are highly complementary, wherein these same conditions exclude hybridization of significantly mismatched DNAs. Polynucleotide sequences capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions with the polynucleotides of the present invention may be, for example, variants of the disclosed polynucleotide sequences, including allelic or splice variants, or sequences that encode orthologs or paralogs of presently disclosed polypeptides. Nucleic acid hybridization methods are disclosed in detail by Kashima et al. (1985) Nature 313:402-404, and Sambrook et al. (1989) Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (“Sambrook”); and by Haymes et al., “Nucleic Acid Hybridization: A Practical Approach”, IRL Press, Washington, D.C. (1985), which references are incorporated herein by reference.
In general, stringency is determined by the temperature, ionic strength, and concentration of denaturing agents (e.g., formamide) used in a hybridization and washing procedure (for a more detailed description of establishing and determining stringency, see below). The degree to which two nucleic acids hybridize under various conditions of stringency is correlated with the extent of their similarity. Thus, similar nucleic acid sequences from a variety of sources, such as within a plant's genome (as in the case of paralogs) or from another plant (as in the case of orthologs) that may perform similar functions can be isolated on the basis of their ability to hybridize with known transcription factor sequences. Numerous variations are possible in the conditions and means by which nucleic acid hybridization can be performed to isolate transcription factor sequences having similarity to transcription factor sequences known in the art and are not limited to those explicitly disclosed herein. Such an approach may be used to isolate polynucleotide sequences having various degrees of similarity with disclosed transcription factor sequences, such as, for example, transcription factors having 60% identity, or more preferably greater than about 70% identity, most preferably 72% or greater identity with disclosed transcription factors.
The term “equivalog” describes members of a set of homologous proteins that are conserved with respect to function since their last common ancestor. Related proteins are grouped into equivalog families, and otherwise into protein families with other hierarchically defined homology types. This definition is provided at the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) website, www.tigr.org; “Terms associated with TIGRFAMs”.
The term “variant”, as used herein, may refer to polynucleotides or polypeptides that differ from the presently disclosed polynucleotides or polypeptides, respectively, in sequence from each other, and as set forth below.
With regard to polynucleotide variants, differences between presently disclosed polynucleotides and their variants are limited so that the nucleotide sequences of the former and the latter are closely similar overall and, in many regions, identical. The degeneracy of the genetic code dictates that many different variant polynucleotides can encode identical and/or substantially similar polypeptides in addition to those sequences illustrated in the Sequence Listing. Due to this degeneracy, differences between presently disclosed polynucleotides and variant nucleotide sequences may be silent in any given region or over the entire length of the polypeptide (i.e., the amino acids encoded by the polynucleotide are the same, and the variant polynucleotide sequence thus encodes the same amino acid sequence in that region or entire length of the presently disclosed polynucleotide. Variant nucleotide sequences may encode different amino acid sequences, in which case such nucleotide differences will result in amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, insertions, truncations or fusions with respect to the similar disclosed polynucleotide sequences. These variations result in polynucleotide variants encoding polypeptides that share at least one functional characteristic (i.e., a presently disclosed transcription factor and a variant will confer at least one of the same functions to a plant).
Within the scope of the invention is a variant of a nucleic acid listed in the Sequence Listing (except CBF polynucleotide sequences SEQ ID NOs: 1955, 1957, 1959, or 2203), that is, one having a sequence that differs from the one of the polynucleotide sequences in the Sequence Listing, or a complementary sequence, that encodes a functionally equivalent polypeptide (i.e., a polypeptide having some degree of equivalent or similar biological activity) but differs in sequence from the sequence in the Sequence Listing, due to degeneracy in the genetic code.
“Allelic variant” or “polynucleotide allelic variant” refers to any of two or more alternative forms of a gene occupying the same chromosomal locus. Allelic variation arises naturally through mutation, and may result in phenotypic polymorphism within populations. Gene mutations may be “silent” or may encode polypeptides having altered amino acid sequences. “Allelic variant” and “polypeptide allelic variant” may also be used with respect to polypeptides, and in this case the terms refer to a polypeptide encoded by an allelic variant of a gene.
“Splice variant” or “polynucleotide splice variant” as used herein refers to alternative forms of RNA transcribed from a gene. Splice variation naturally occurs as a result of alternative sites being spliced within a single transcribed RNA molecule or between separately transcribed RNA molecules, and may result in several different forms of mRNA transcribed from the same gene. Thus, splice variants may encode polypeptides having different amino acid sequences, which, in the present context, will have at least one similar function in the organism (splice variation may also give rise to distinct polypeptides having different functions). “Splice variant” or “polypeptide splice variant” may also refer to a polypeptide encoded by a splice variant of a transcribed mRNA.
As used herein, “polynucleotide variants” may also refer to polynucleotide sequences that encode paralogs and orthologs of the presently disclosed polypeptide sequences. “Polypeptide variants” may refer to polypeptide sequences that are paralogs and orthologs of the presently disclosed polypeptide sequences.
Differences between presently disclosed polypeptides and polypeptide variants are limited so that the sequences of the former and the latter are closely similar overall and, in many regions, identical. Presently disclosed polypeptide sequences and similar polypeptide variants may differ in amino acid sequence by one or more substitutions, additions, deletions, fusions and truncations, which may be present in any combination. These differences may produce silent changes and result in a functionally equivalent transcription factor. Thus, it will be readily appreciated by those of skill in the art, that any of a variety of polynucleotide sequences is capable of encoding the transcription factors and transcription factor homolog polypeptides of the invention. A polypeptide sequence variant may have “conservative” changes, wherein a substituted amino acid has similar structural or chemical properties. Deliberate amino acid substitutions may thus be made on the basis of similarity in polarity, charge, solubility, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and/or the amphipathic nature of the residues, as long as the functional or biological activity of the transcription factor is retained. For example, negatively charged amino acids may include aspartic acid and glutamic acid, positively charged amino acids may include lysine and arginine, and amino acids with uncharged polar head groups having similar hydrophilicity values may include leucine, isoleucine, and valine; glycine and alanine; asparagine and glutamine; serine and threonine; and phenylalanine and tyrosine. For more detail on conservative substitutions, see Table 2. More rarely, a variant may have “non-conservative” changes, e.g., replacement of a glycine with a tryptophan. Similar minor variations may also include amino acid deletions or insertions, or both. Related polypeptides may comprise, for example, additions and/or deletions of one or more N-linked or O-linked glycosylation sites, or an addition and/or a deletion of one or more cysteine residues. Guidance in determining which and how many amino acid residues may be substituted, inserted or deleted without abolishing functional or biological activity may be found using computer programs well known in the art, for example, DNASTAR software (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,840,544).
The term “plant” includes whole plants, shoot vegetative organs/structures (e.g., leaves, stems and tubers), roots, flowers and floral organs/structures (e.g., bracts, sepals, petals, stamens, carpels, anthers and ovules), seed (including embryo, endosperm, and seed coat) and fruit (the mature ovary), plant tissue (e.g., vascular tissue, ground tissue, and the like) and cells (e.g., guard cells, egg cells, and the like), and progeny of same. The class of plants that can be used in the method of the invention is generally as broad as the class of higher and lower plants amenable to transformation techniques, including angiosperms (monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants), gymnosperms, ferns, horsetails, psilophytes, lycophytes, bryophytes, and multicellular algae. (See for example, FIG. 1, adapted from Daly et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 127: 1328-1333; FIG. 2, adapted from Ku et al. (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 97: 9121-9126; and see also Tudge, in The Variety of Life, Oxford University Press, New York, N.Y. (2000) pp. 547-606).
A “transgenic plant” refers to a plant that contains genetic material not found in a wild-type plant of the same species, variety or cultivar. The genetic material may include a transgene, an insertional mutagenesis event (such as by transposon or T-DNA insertional mutagenesis), an activation tagging sequence, a mutated sequence, a homologous recombination event or a sequence modified by chimeraplasty. Typically, the foreign genetic material has been introduced into the plant by human manipulation, but any method can be used as one of skill in the art recognizes.
A transgenic plant may contain an expression vector or cassette. The expression cassette typically comprises a polypeptide-encoding sequence operably linked (i.e., under regulatory control of) to appropriate inducible or constitutive regulatory sequences that allow for the expression of polypeptide. The expression cassette can be introduced into a plant by transformation or by breeding after transformation of a parent plant. A plant refers to a whole plant, including seedlings and mature plants, as well as to a plant part, such as seed, fruit, leaf, or root, plant tissue, plant cells or any other plant material, e.g., a plant explant, as well as to progeny thereof, and to in vitro systems that mimic biochemical or cellular components or processes in a cell.
“Fragment”, with respect to a polynucleotide, refers to a clone or any part of a polynucleotide molecule that retains a usable, functional characteristic. Useful fragments include oligonucleotides and polynucleotides that may be used in hybridization or amplification technologies or in the regulation of replication, transcription or translation. A “polynucleotide fragment” refers to any subsequence of a polynucleotide, typically, of at least about 9 consecutive nucleotides, preferably at least about 30 nucleotides, more preferably at least about 50 nucleotides, of any of the sequences provided herein. Exemplary polynucleotide fragments are the first sixty consecutive nucleotides of the transcription factor polynucleotides listed in the Sequence Listing. Exemplary fragments also include fragments that comprise a region that encodes a conserved domain of a transcription factor.
Fragments may also include subsequences of polypeptides and protein molecules, or a subsequence of the polypeptide. Fragments may have uses in that they may have antigenic potential. In some cases, the fragment or domain is a subsequence of the polypeptide that performs at least one biological function of the intact polypeptide in substantially the same manner, or to a similar extent, as does the intact polypeptide. For example, a polypeptide fragment can comprise a recognizable structural motif or functional domain such as a DNA-binding site or domain that binds to a DNA promoter region, an activation domain, or a domain for protein-protein interactions, and may initiate transcription. Fragments can vary in size from as few as 3 amino acids to the full length of the intact polypeptide, but are preferably at least about 30 amino acids in length and more preferably at least about 60 amino acids in length. Exemplary polypeptide fragments are the first twenty consecutive amino acids of a mammalian protein encoded by are the first twenty consecutive amino acids of the transcription factor polypeptides listed in the Sequence Listing.
Exemplary fragments also include fragments that comprise a conserved domain of a transcription factor. An example of such an exemplary fragment would include amino acid residues 59-124 of G867 (SEQ ID NO: 170), as noted in Table 5.
The invention also encompasses production of DNA sequences that encode transcription factors and transcription factor derivatives, or fragments thereof, entirely by synthetic chemistry. After production, the synthetic sequence may be inserted into any of the many available expression vectors and cell systems using reagents well known in the art. Moreover, synthetic chemistry may be used to introduce mutations into a sequence encoding transcription factors or any fragment thereof.
A “conserved domain” or “conserved region” as used herein refers to a region in heterologous polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences where there is a relatively high degree of sequence identity between the distinct sequences.
With respect to polynucleotides encoding presently disclosed transcription factors, a conserved region is preferably at least 10 base pairs (bp) in length.
A “conserved domain”, with respect to presently disclosed polypeptides refers to a domain within a transcription factor family that exhibits a higher degree of sequence homology, such as at least 26% sequence similarity, at least 16% sequence identity, preferably at least 40% sequence identity, preferably at least 65% sequence identity including conservative substitutions, and more preferably at least 80% sequence identity, and even more preferably at least 85%, or at least about 86%, or at least about 87%, or at least about 88%, or at least about 90%, or at least about 95%, or at least about 98% amino acid residue sequence identity of a polypeptide of consecutive amino acid residues. A fragment or domain can be referred to as outside a conserved domain, outside a consensus sequence, or outside a consensus DNA-binding site that is known to exist or that exists for a particular transcription factor class, family, or sub-family. In this case, the fragment or domain will not include the exact amino acids of a consensus sequence or consensus DNA-binding site of a transcription factor class, family or sub-family, or the exact amino acids of a particular transcription factor consensus sequence or consensus DNA-binding site. Furthermore, a particular fragment, region, or domain of a polypeptide, or a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide, can be “outside a conserved domain” if all the amino acids of the fragment, region, or domain fall outside of a defined conserved domain(s) for a polypeptide or protein. Sequences having lesser degrees of identity but comparable biological activity are considered to be equivalents.
As one of ordinary skill in the art recognizes, conserved domains of transcription factors may be identified as regions or domains of identity to a specific consensus sequence (see, for example, Riechmann et al. (2000) supra). Thus, by using alignment methods well known in the art, the conserved domains of the plant transcription factors for each of the following may be determined: the AP2 (APETALA2) domain transcription factor family (Riechmann and Meyerowitz (1998) supra; the MYB transcription factor family (ENBib; Martin and Paz-Ares (1997) supra); the MADS domain transcription factor family (Riechmann and Meyerowitz (1997) supra); the WRKY protein family (Ishiguro and Nakamura (1994) supra); the ankyrin-repeat protein family (Zhang et al.

(1992) supra); the triple helix (TH) family (Dehesh et al. (1990) supra); the EIL family (Chao et al. (1997) Cell supra); the AT-HOOK family (Reeves and Nissen (1990 supra); the S1FA family (Zhou et al. (1995) supra); the bZIPT2 family (Lu and Ferl (1995) supra); the YABBY family (Bowman et al. (1999) supra); the PAZ family (Bohmert et al. (1998) supra); a family of miscellaneous (MISC) transcription factors including the DPBF family (Kim et al. (1997) supra) and the SPF1 family (Ishiguro and Nakamura (1994) supra); the GARP family (Hall et al. (1998) supra), the TUBBY family (Boggin et al. (1999) supra), the heat shock family (Wu (1995 supra), the ENBP family (Christiansen et al. (1996) supra), the RING-zinc family (Jensen et al. (1998) supra), the PDBP family (Janik et al. (1989) supra), the PCF family (Cubas et al. (1999) supra), the SRS(SHI-related) family (Fridborg et al. (1999) supra), the CPP (cysteine-rich polycomb-like) family (Cvitanich et al. (2000) supra), the ARF (auxin response factor) family (Ulmasov et al. (1999) supra), the SWI/SNF family (Collingwood et al. (1999) supra), the ACBF family (Seguin et al. (1997) supra), PCGL (CG-1 like) family (da Costa e Silva et al. (1994) supra) the ARID family (Vazquez et al. (1999) supra), the Jumonji family, (Balciunas et al. (2000) supra), the bZIP-NIN family (Schauser et al. (1999) supra), the E2F family Kaelin et al. (1992) supra) and the GRF-like family (Knaap et al (2000) supra).
The conserved domains for each of polypeptides of SEQ ID NO: 2N, wherein N=1-229, are listed in Table 5 as described in Example VII. Also, many of the polypeptides of Table 5 have conserved domains specifically indicated by start and stop sites. A comparison of the regions of the polypeptides in SEQ ID NO: 2N, wherein N=1-229, or of those in Table 5, allows one of skill in the art to identify conserved domain(s) for any of the polypeptides listed or referred to in this disclosure, including those in Tables 4-8.
As used herein, a “gene” is a functional unit of inheritance, and in physical terms is a particular segment or sequence of nucleotides along a molecule of DNA (or RNA, in the case of RNA viruses) involved in producing a functional RNA molecule, such as one used for a structural or regulatory role, or a polypeptide chain, such as one used for a structural or regulatory role (an example of the latter would be transcription regulation, as by a transcription factor polypeptide). Polypeptides may then be subjected to subsequent processing such as splicing and/or folding to obtain a functional polypeptide. A gene may be isolated, partially isolated, or be found with an organism's genome. By way of example, a transcription factor gene encodes a transcription factor polypeptide, which may be functional with or without additional processing to function as an initiator of transcription.
Operationally, genes may be defined by the cis-trans test, a genetic test that determines whether two mutations occur in the same gene and which may be used to determine the limits of the genetically active unit (Rieger et al. (1976) Glossary of Genetics and Cytogenetics: Classical and Molecular, 4th ed., Springer Verlag. Berlin). A gene generally includes regions preceding (“leaders”; upstream) and following (“trailers”; downstream) of the coding region. A gene may also include intervening, non-coded sequences, referred to as “introns”, which are located between individual coding segments, referred to as “exons”. Most genes have an identifiable associated promoter region, a regulatory sequence 5′ or upstream of the transcription initiation codon. The function of a gene may also be regulated by enhancers, operators, and other regulatory elements.
A “trait” refers to a physiological, morphological, biochemical, or physical characteristic of a plant or particular plant material or cell. In some instances, this characteristic is visible to the human eye, such as seed or plant size, or can be measured by biochemical techniques, such as detecting the protein, starch, or oil content of seed or leaves, or by observation of a metabolic or physiological process, e.g. by measuring uptake of carbon dioxide, or by the observation of the expression level of a gene or genes, e.g., by employing Northern analysis, RT-PCR, microarray gene expression assays, or reporter gene expression systems, or by agricultural observations such as stress tolerance, yield, or pathogen tolerance. Any technique can be used to measure the amount of, comparative level of, or difference in any selected chemical compound or macromolecule in the transgenic plants, however.
“Trait modification” refers to a detectable difference in a characteristic in a plant ectopically expressing a polynucleotide or polypeptide of the present invention relative to a plant not doing so, such as a wild-type plant. In some cases, the trait modification can be evaluated quantitatively. For example, the trait modification can entail at least about a 2% increase or decrease in an observed trait (difference), at least a 5% difference, at least about a 10% difference, at least about a 20% difference, at least about a 30%, at least about a 50%, at least about a 70%, or at least about a 100%, or an even greater difference compared with a wild-type plant. It is known that there can be a natural variation in the modified trait. Therefore, the trait modification observed entails a change of the normal distribution of the trait in the plants compared with the distribution observed in wild-type plant.
The term “transcript profile” refers to the expression levels of a set of genes in a cell in a particular state, particularly by comparison with the expression levels of that same set of genes in a cell of the same type in a reference state. For example, the transcript profile of a particular transcription factor in a suspension cell is the expression levels of a set of genes in a cell overexpressing that transcription factor compared with the expression levels of that same set of genes in a suspension cell that has normal levels of that transcription factor. The transcript profile can be presented as a list of those genes whose expression level is significantly different between the two treatments, and the difference ratios. Differences and similarities between expression levels may also be evaluated and calculated using statistical and clustering methods.
“Wild type”, as used herein, refers to a cell, tissue or plant that has not been genetically modified to knock out or overexpress one or more of the presently disclosed transcription factors. Wild-type cells, tissue or plants may be used as controls to compare levels of expression and the extent and nature of trait modification with modified (e.g., transgenic) cells, tissue or plants in which transcription factor expression is altered or ectopically expressed by, for example, knocking out or overexpressing a gene.
“Ectopic expression” or “altered expression” in reference to a polynucleotide indicates that the pattern of expression in, e.g., a transgenic plant or plant tissue, is different from the expression pattern in a wild-type plant or a reference plant of the same species. The pattern of expression may also be compared with a reference expression pattern in a wild-type plant of the same species. For example, the polynucleotide or polypeptide is expressed in a cell or tissue type other than a cell or tissue type in which the sequence is expressed in the wild-type plant, or by expression at a time other than at the time the sequence is expressed in the wild-type plant, or by a response to different inducible agents, such as hormones or environmental signals, or at different expression levels (either higher or lower) compared with those found in a wild-type plant. Altered expression may be achieved by, for example, transformation of a plant with an expression cassette having a constitutive or inducible promoter element associated with a transcription factor gene. The resulting expression pattern can thus constitutive or inducible, and be stable or transient. Altered or ectopic expression may also refer to altered expression patterns that are produced by lowering the levels of expression to below the detection level or completely abolishing expression by, for example, knocking out a gene's expression by disrupting expression or regulation of the gene with an insertion element.
In reference to a polypeptide, the term “ectopic expression or altered expression” further may relate to altered activity levels resulting from the interactions of the polypeptides with exogenous or endogenous modulators or from interactions with factors or as a result of the chemical modification of the polypeptides.
The term “overexpression” as used herein refers to a greater expression level of a gene in a plant, plant cell or plant tissue, compared to expression in a wild-type plant, cell or tissue, at any developmental or temporal stage for the gene. Overexpression can occur when, for example, the genes encoding one or more transcription factors are under the control of a strong expression signal, such as one of the promoters described herein (e.g., the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S transcription initiation region). Overexpression may occur throughout a plant or in specific tissues of the plant, depending on the promoter used, as described below.
Overexpression may take place in plant cells normally lacking expression of polypeptides functionally equivalent or identical to the present transcription factors. Overexpression may also occur in plant cells where endogenous expression of the present transcription factors or functionally equivalent molecules normally occurs, but such normal expression is at a lower level than in the organism or tissues of the overexpressor. Overexpression thus results in a greater than normal production, or “overproduction” of the transcription factor in the plant, cell or tissue.
The term “phase change” refers to a plant's progression from embryo to adult, and, by some definitions, the transition wherein flowering plants gain reproductive competency. It is believed that phase change occurs either after a certain number of cell divisions in the shoot apex of a developing plant, or when the shoot apex achieves a particular distance from the roots. Thus, altering the timing of phase changes may affect a plant's size, which, in turn, may affect yield and biomass.
Traits that May be Modified in Overexpressing or Knock-Out Plants
Trait modifications of particular interest include those to seed (such as embryo or endosperm), fruit, root, flower, leaf, stem, shoot, seedling or the like, including: enhanced tolerance to environmental conditions including freezing, chilling, heat, drought, water saturation, radiation and ozone; improved tolerance to microbial, fungal or viral diseases; improved tolerance to pest infestations, including insects, nematodes, mollicutes, parasitic higher plants or the like; decreased herbicide sensitivity; improved tolerance of heavy metals or enhanced ability to take up heavy metals; improved growth under poor photoconditions (e.g., low light and/or short day length), or changes in expression levels of genes of interest. Other phenotype that can be modified relate to the production of plant metabolites, such as variations in the production of taxol, tocopherol, tocotrienol, sterols, phytosterols, vitamins, wax monomers, anti-oxidants, amino acids, lignins, cellulose, tannins, prenyllipids (such as chlorophylls and carotenoids), glucosinolates, and terpenoids, enhanced or compositionally altered protein or oil production (especially in seeds), or modified sugar (insoluble or soluble) and/or starch composition. Physical plant characteristics that can be modified include cell development (such as the number of trichomes), fruit and seed size and number, yields of plant parts such as stems, leaves, inflorescences, and roots, the stability of the seeds during storage, characteristics of the seed pod (e.g., susceptibility to shattering), root hair length and quantity, internode distances, or the quality of seed coat. Plant growth characteristics that can be modified include growth rate, germination rate of seeds, vigor of plants and seedlings, leaf and flower senescence, male sterility, apomixis, flowering time, flower abscission, rate of nitrogen uptake, osmotic sensitivity to soluble sugar concentrations, biomass or transpiration characteristics, as well as plant architecture characteristics such as apical dominance, branching patterns, number of organs, organ identity, organ shape or size.
Transcription Factors Modify Expression of Endogenous Genes
Expression of genes that encode transcription factors that modify expression of endogenous genes, polynucleotides, and proteins are well known in the art. In addition, transgenic plants comprising isolated polynucleotides encoding transcription factors may also modify expression of endogenous genes, polynucleotides, and proteins. Examples include Peng et al. (1997) Genes and Development 11: 3194-3205, and Peng et al. (1999) Nature 400: 256-261. In addition, many others have demonstrated that an Arabidopsis transcription factor expressed in an exogenous plant species elicits the same or very similar phenotypic response. See, for example, Fu et al. (2001) Plant Cell 13: 1791-1802; Nandi et al. (2000, Curr. Biol. 10: 215-218; Coupland (1995) Nature 377: 482-483; and Weigel and Nilsson (1995) Nature 377: 482-500.
In another example, Mandel et al. (1992) Cell 71-133-143 and Suzuki et al. (2001) Plant J. 28: 409-418, teach that a transcription factor expressed in another plant species elicits the same or very similar phenotypic response of the endogenous sequence, as often predicted in earlier studies of Arabidopsis transcription factors in Arabidopsis (see Mandel et al. (1992) supra; Suzuki et al. (2001) supra).
Other examples include Müller et al. (2001) Plant J. 28: 169-179; Kim et al. (2001) Plant J. 25: 247-259; Kyozuka and Shimamoto (2002) Plant Cell Physiol. 43: 130-135; Boss and Thomas (2002) Nature 416: 847-850; He et al. (2000) Transgenic Res. 9: 223-227; and Robson et al. (2001) Plant J. 28: 619-631.
In yet another example, Gilmour et al. (1998) Plant J. 16: 433-442, teach an Arabidopsis AP2 transcription factor, CBF1 (SEQ ID NO: 1956), which, when overexpressed in transgenic plants, increases plant freezing tolerance. Jaglo et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 127: 910-917, further identified sequences in Brassica napus which encode CBF-like genes and that transcripts for these genes accumulated rapidly in response to low temperature. Transcripts encoding CBF-like proteins were also found to accumulate rapidly in response to low temperature in wheat, as well as in tomato. An alignment of the CBF proteins from Arabidopsis, B. napus, wheat, rye, and tomato revealed the presence of conserved consecutive amino acid residues, PKK/RPAGRxKFxETRHP (SEQ ID NO: 2907) and DSAWR (SEQ ID NO: 2908), that bracket the AP2/EREBP DNA binding domains of the proteins and distinguish them from other members of the AP2/EREBP protein family (See Jaglo et al. supra).
Gao et al. (2002) Plant Molec. Biol. 49: 459-471) have recently described four CBF transcription factors from Brassica napus: BNCBFs 5, 7, 16 and 17. They note that the first three CBFs (GenBank Accession Numbers AAM18958, AAM18959, and AAM18960, respectively) are very similar to Arabidopsis CBF1, whereas BNCBF17 (GenBank Accession Number AAM18961) is similar but contains two extra regions of 16 and 21 amino acids in its acidic activation domain. All four B. napus CBFs accumulate in leaves of the plants after cold-treatment, and BNCBFs 5, 7, 16 accumulated after salt stress treatment. The authors concluded that these BNCBFs likely function in low-temperature responses in B. napus. 
In a functional study of CBF genes, Hsieh et al. ((2002) Plant Physiol. 129: 1086-1094) found that heterologous expression of Arabidopsis CBF1 in tomato plants confers increased tolerance to chilling and considerable tolerance to oxidative stress, which suggested to the authors that ectopic Arabidopsis CBF1 expression may induce several tomato stress responsive genes to protect the plants.
Polypeptides and Polynucleotides of the Invention
The present invention provides, among other things, transcription factors (TFs), and transcription factor homolog polypeptides, and isolated or recombinant polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, or novel sequence variant polypeptides or polynucleotides encoding novel variants of transcription factors derived from the specific sequences provided here. These polypeptides and polynucleotides may be employed to modify a plant's characteristics.
Exemplary polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides of the invention were identified in the Arabidopsis thaliana GenBank database using publicly available sequence analysis programs and parameters. Sequences initially identified were then further characterized to identify sequences comprising specified sequence strings corresponding to sequence motifs present in families of known transcription factors. In addition, further exemplary polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides of the invention were identified in the plant GenBank database using publicly available sequence analysis programs and parameters. Sequences initially identified were then further characterized to identify sequences comprising specified sequence strings corresponding to sequence motifs present in families of known transcription factors. Polynucleotide sequences meeting such criteria were confirmed as transcription factors.
Additional polynucleotides of the invention were identified by screening Arabidopsis thaliana and/or other plant cDNA libraries with probes corresponding to known transcription factors under low stringency hybridization conditions. Additional sequences, including full length coding sequences were subsequently recovered by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) procedure, using a commercially available kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. Where necessary, multiple rounds of RACE are performed to isolate 5′ and 3′ ends. The full-length cDNA was then recovered by a routine end-to-end polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers specific to the isolated 5′ and 3′ ends. Exemplary sequences are provided in the Sequence Listing.
The polynucleotides of the invention can be or were ectopically expressed in overexpressor or knockout plants and the changes in the characteristic(s) or trait(s) of the plants observed. Therefore, the polynucleotides and polypeptides can be employed to improve the characteristics of plants.
The polynucleotides of the invention can be or were ectopically expressed in overexpressor plant cells and the changes in the expression levels of a number of genes, polynucleotides, and/or proteins of the plant cells observed. Therefore, the polynucleotides and polypeptides can be employed to change expression levels of a genes, polynucleotides, and/or proteins of plants.
Producing Polypeptides
The polynucleotides of the invention include sequences that encode transcription factors and transcription factor homolog polypeptides and sequences complementary thereto, as well as unique fragments of coding sequence, or sequence complementary thereto. Such polynucleotides can be, e.g., DNA or RNA, e.g., mRNA, cRNA, synthetic RNA, genomic DNA, cDNA synthetic DNA, oligonucleotides, etc. The polynucleotides are either double-stranded or single-stranded, and include either, or both sense (i.e., coding) sequences and antisense (i.e., non-coding, complementary) sequences. The polynucleotides include the coding sequence of a transcription factor, or transcription factor homolog polypeptide, in isolation, in combination with additional coding sequences (e.g., a purification tag, a localization signal, as a fusion-protein, as a pre-protein, or the like), in combination with non-coding sequences (e.g., introns or inteins, regulatory elements such as promoters, enhancers, terminators, and the like), and/or in a vector or host environment in which the polynucleotide encoding a transcription factor or transcription factor homolog polypeptide is an endogenous or exogenous gene.
A variety of methods exist for producing the polynucleotides of the invention. Procedures for identifying and isolating DNA clones are well known to those of skill in the art, and are described in, e.g., Berger and Kimmel, Guide to Molecular Cloning Techniques, Methods in Enzymology, vol. 152 Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, Calif. (“Berger”); Sambrook et al. (1989) Molecular Cloning—A Laboratory Manual (2nd Ed.), Vol. 1-3, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., and Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Ausubel et al. eds., Current Protocols, a joint venture between Greene Publishing Associates, Inc. and John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (supplemented through 2000) (“Ausubel”).
Alternatively, polynucleotides of the invention, can be produced by a variety of in vitro amplification methods adapted to the present invention by appropriate selection of specific or degenerate primers. Examples of protocols sufficient to direct persons of skill through in vitro amplification methods, including the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the ligase chain reaction (LCR), Qbeta-replicase amplification and other RNA polymerase mediated techniques (e.g., NASBA), e.g., for the production of the homologous nucleic acids of the invention are found in Berger (supra), Sambrook (supra), and Ausubel (supra), as well as Mullis et al. (1987) PCR Protocols A Guide to Methods and Applications (Innis et al. eds) Academic Press Inc. San Diego, Calif. (1990) (Innis) Improved methods for cloning in vitro amplified nucleic acids are described in Wallace et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,426,039. Improved methods for amplifying large nucleic acids by PCR are summarized in Cheng et al. (1994) Nature 369: 684-685 and the references cited therein, in which PCR amplicons of up to 40 kb are generated. One of skill will appreciate that essentially any RNA can be converted into a double stranded DNA suitable for restriction digestion, PCR expansion and sequencing using reverse transcriptase and a polymerase. See, e.g., Ausubel, Sambrook and Berger, all supra.
Alternatively, polynucleotides and oligonucleotides of the invention can be assembled from fragments produced by solid-phase synthesis methods. Typically, fragments of up to approximately 100 bases are individually synthesized and then enzymatically or chemically ligated to produce a desired sequence, e.g., a polynucleotide encoding all or part of a transcription factor. For example, chemical synthesis using the phosphoramidite method is described, e.g., by Beaucage et al. (1981) Tetrahedron Letters 22: 1859-1869; and Matthes et al. (1984) EMBO J. 3: 801-805. According to such methods, oligonucleotides are synthesized, purified, annealed to their complementary strand, ligated and then optionally cloned into suitable vectors. And if so desired, the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention can be custom ordered from any of a number of commercial suppliers.
Homologous Sequences
Sequences homologous, i.e., that share significant sequence identity or similarity, to those provided in the Sequence Listing (except CBF sequences SEQ ID NOs: 1955-1960), derived from Arabidopsis thaliana or from other plants of choice, are also an aspect of the invention. Homologous sequences can be derived from any plant including monocots and dicots and in particular agriculturally important plant species, including but not limited to, crops such as soybean, wheat, corn (maize), potato, cotton, rice, rape, oilseed rape (including canola), sunflower, alfalfa, clover, sugarcane, and turf; or fruits and vegetables, such as banana, blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, and raspberry, cantaloupe, carrot, cauliflower, coffee, cucumber, eggplant, grapes, honeydew, lettuce, mango, melon, onion, papaya, peas, peppers, pineapple, pumpkin, spinach, squash, sweet corn, tobacco, tomato, tomatillo, watermelon, rosaceous fruits (such as apple, peach, pear, cherry and plum) and vegetable brassicas (such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi). Other crops, including fruits and vegetables, whose phenotype can be changed and which comprise homologous sequences include barley; rye; millet; sorghum; currant; avocado; citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tangerines, artichoke, cherries; nuts such as the walnut and peanut; endive; leek; roots such as arrowroot, beet, cassava, turnip, radish, yam, and sweet potato; and beans. The homologous sequences may also be derived from woody species, such pine, poplar and eucalyptus, or mint or other labiates. In addition, homologous sequences may be derived from plants that are evolutionarily-related to crop plants, but which may not have yet been used as crop plants. Examples include deadly nightshade (Atropa belladona), related to tomato; jimson weed (Datura strommium), related to peyote; and teosinte (Zea species), related to corn (maize)
Orthologs and Paralogs
Homologous sequences as described above can comprise orthologous or paralogous sequences. Several different methods are known by those of skill in the art for identifying and defining these functionally homologous sequences. Three general methods for defining orthologs and paralogs are described; an ortholog or paralog, including equivalogs, may be identified by one or more of the methods described below.
Orthologs and paralogs are evolutionarily related genes that have similar sequence and similar functions. Orthologs are structurally related genes in different species that are derived by a speciation event. Paralogs are structurally related genes within a single species that are derived by a duplication event.
Within a single plant species, gene duplication may cause two copies of a particular gene, giving rise to two or more genes with similar sequence and often similar function known as paralogs. A paralog is therefore a similar gene formed by duplication within the same species. Paralogs typically cluster together or in the same clade (a group of similar genes) when a gene family phylogeny is analyzed using programs such as CLUSTAL (Thompson et al. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res. 22: 4673-4680; Higgins et al. (1996) Methods Enzymol. 266: 383-402). Groups of similar genes can also be identified with pair-wise BLAST analysis (Feng and Doolittle (1987) J. Mol. Evol. 25: 351-360). For example, a clade of very similar MADS domain transcription factors from Arabidopsis all share a common function in flowering time (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126: 122-132), and a group of very similar AP2 domain transcription factors from Arabidopsis are involved in tolerance of plants to freezing (Gilmour et al. (1998) Plant J. 16: 433-442). Analysis of groups of similar genes with similar function that fall within one clade can yield sub-sequences that are particular to the clade. These sub-sequences, known as consensus sequences, can not only be used to define the sequences within each clade, but define the functions of these genes; genes within a clade may contain paralogous sequences, or orthologous sequences that share the same function (see also, for example, Mount (2001), in Bioinformatics: Sequence and Genome Analysis, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., page 543.)
Speciation, the production of new species from a parental species, can also give rise to two or more genes with similar sequence and similar function. These genes, termed orthologs, often have an identical function within their host plants and are often interchangeable between species without losing function. Because plants have common ancestors, many genes in any plant species will have a corresponding orthologous gene in another plant species. Once a phylogenic tree for a gene family of one species has been constructed using a program such as CLUSTAL (Thompson et al. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res. 22: 4673-4680; Higgins et al. (1996) supra) potential orthologous sequences can be placed into the phylogenetic tree and their relationship to genes from the species of interest can be determined. Orthologous sequences can also be identified by a reciprocal BLAST strategy. Once an orthologous sequence has been identified, the function of the ortholog can be deduced from the identified function of the reference sequence.
Transcription factor gene sequences are conserved across diverse eukaryotic species lines (Goodrich et al. (1993) Cell 75: 519-530; Lin et al. (1991) Nature 353: 569-571; Sadowski et al. (1988) Nature 335: 563-564). et al. Plants are no exception to this observation; diverse plant species possess transcription factors that have similar sequences and functions.
Orthologous genes from different organisms have highly conserved functions, and very often essentially identical functions (Lee et al. (2002) Genome Res. 12: 493-502; Remm et al. (2001) J. Mol. Biol. 314: 1041-1052). Paralogous genes, which have diverged through gene duplication, may retain similar functions of the encoded proteins. In such cases, paralogs can be used interchangeably with respect to certain embodiments of the instant invention (for example, transgenic expression of a coding sequence). An example of such highly related paralogs is the CBF family, with three well-defined members in Arabidopsis and at least one ortholog in Brassica napus (SEQ ID NOs: 1956, 1958, 1960, or 2204, respectively), all of which control pathways involved in both freezing and drought stress (Gilmour et al. (1998) Plant J. 16: 433-442; Jaglo et al. (1998) Plant Physiol. 127: 910-917).
The following references represent a small sampling of the many studies that demonstrate that conserved transcription factor genes from diverse species are likely to function similarly (i.e., regulate similar target sequences and control the same traits), and that transcription factors may be transformed into diverse species to confer or improve traits.
(1) The Arabidopsis NPR1 gene regulates systemic acquired resistance (SAR); over-expression of NPR1 leads to enhanced resistance in Arabidopsis. When either Arabidopsis NPR1 or the rice NPR1 ortholog was overexpressed in rice (which, as a monocot, is diverse from Arabidopsis), challenge with the rice bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae, the transgenic plants displayed enhanced resistance (Chern et al. (2001) Plant J. 27: 101-113). NPR1 acts through activation of expression of transcription factor genes, such as TGA2 (Fan and Dong (2002) Plant Cell 14: 1377-1389).
(2) E2F genes are involved in transcription of plant genes for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Plant E2Fs share a high degree of similarity in amino acid sequence between monocots and dicots, and are even similar to the conserved domains of the animal E2Fs. Such conservation indicates a functional similarity between plant and animal E2Fs. E2F transcription factors that regulate meristem development act through common cis-elements, and regulate related (PCNA) genes (Kosugi and Ohashi, (2002) Plant J. 29: 45-59).
(3) The ABI5 gene (abscisic acid (ABA) insensitive 5) encodes a basic leucine zipper factor required for ABA response in the seed and vegetative tissues. Co-transformation experiments with ABI5 cDNA constructs in rice protoplasts resulted in specific transactivation of the ABA-inducible wheat, Arabidopsis, bean, and barley promoters. These results demonstrate that sequentially similar ABI5 transcription factors are key targets of a conserved ABA signaling pathway in diverse plants. (Gampala et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 277: 1689-1694).
(4) Sequences of three Arabidopsis GAMYB-like genes were obtained on the basis of sequence similarity to GAMYB genes from barley, rice, and L. temulentum. These three Arabadopsis genes were determined to encode transcription factors (AtMYB33, AtMYB65, and AtMYB101) and could substitute for a barley GAMYB and control alpha-amylase expression (Gocal et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 127: 1682-1693).
(5) The floral control gene LEAFY from Arabidopsis can dramatically accelerate flowering in numerous dictoyledonous plants. Constitutive expression of Arabidopsis LEAFY also caused early flowering in transgenic rice (a monocot), with a heading date that was 26-34 days earlier than that of wild-type plants. These observations indicate that floral regulatory genes from Arabidopsis are useful tools for heading date improvement in cereal crops (He et al. (2000) Transgenic Res. 9: 223-227).
(6) Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are essential endogenous regulators of plant growth. GA signaling tends to be conserved across the plant kingdom. GA signaling is mediated via GAL a nuclear member of the GRAS family of plant transcription factors. Arabidopsis GAI has been shown to function in rice to inhibit gibberellin response pathways (Fu et al. (2001) Plant Cell 13: 1791-1802).
(7) The Arabidopsis gene SUPERMAN (SUP), encodes a putative transcription factor that maintains the boundary between stamens and carpels. By over-expressing Arabidopsis SUP in rice, the effect of the gene's presence on whorl boundaries was shown to be conserved. This demonstrated that SUP is a conserved regulator of floral whorl boundaries and affects cell proliferation (Nandi et al. (2000) Curr. Biol. 10: 215-218).
(8) Maize, petunia and Arabidopsis myb transcription factors that regulate flavonoid biosynthesis are very genetically similar and affect the same trait in their native species, therefore sequence and function of these myb transcription factors correlate with each other in these diverse species (Borevitz et al. (2000) Plant Cell 12: 2383-2394).
(9) Wheat reduced height-1 (Rht-B1/Rht-D1) and maize dwarf-8 (d8) genes are orthologs of the Arabidopsis gibberellin insensitive (GAI) gene. Both of these genes have been used to produce dwarf grain varieties that have improved grain yield. These genes encode proteins that resemble nuclear transcription factors and contain an SH2-like domain, indicating that phosphotyrosine may participate in gibberellin signaling. Transgenic rice plants containing a mutant GAI allele from Arabidopsis have been shown to produce reduced responses to gibberellin and are dwarfed, indicating that mutant GAI orthologs could be used to increase yield in a wide range of crop species (Peng et al. (1999) Nature 400: 256-261).
Transcription factors that are homologous to the listed sequences will typically share, in at least one conserved domain, at least about 70% amino acid sequence identity, and with regard to zinc finger transcription factors, at least about 50% amino acid sequence identity. More closely related transcription factors can share at least about 70%, or about 75% or about 80% or about 90% or about 95% or about 98% or more sequence identity with the listed sequences, or with the listed sequences but excluding or outside a known consensus sequence or consensus DNA-binding site, or with the listed sequences excluding one or all conserved domain. Factors that are most closely related to the listed sequences share, e.g., at least about 85%, about 90% or about 95% or more % sequence identity to the listed sequences, or to the listed sequences but excluding or outside a known consensus sequence or consensus DNA-binding site or outside one or all conserved domain. At the nucleotide level, the sequences will typically share at least about 40% nucleotide sequence identity, preferably at least about 50%, about 60%, about 70% or about 80% sequence identity, and more preferably about 85%, about 90%, about 95% or about 97% or more sequence identity to one or more of the listed sequences, or to a listed sequence but excluding or outside a known consensus sequence or consensus DNA-binding site, or outside one or all conserved domain. The degeneracy of the genetic code enables major variations in the nucleotide sequence of a polynucleotide while maintaining the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein. Conserved domains within a transcription factor family may exhibit a higher degree of sequence homology, such as at least 65% amino acid sequence identity including conservative substitutions, and preferably at least 80% sequence identity, and more preferably at least 85%, or at least about 86%, or at least about 87%, or at least about 88%, or at least about 90%, or at least about 95%, or at least about 98% sequence identity. Transcription factors that are homologous to the listed sequences should share at least 30%, or at least about 60%, or at least about 75%, or at least about 80%, or at least about 90%, or at least about 95% amino acid sequence identity over the entire length of the polypeptide or the homolog.
Percent identity can be determined electronically, e.g., by using the MEGALIGN program (DNASTAR, Inc. Madison, Wis.). The MEGALIGN program can create alignments between two or more sequences according to different methods, for example, the clustal method. (See, for example, Higgins and Sharp (1988) Gene 73: 237-244.) The clustal algorithm groups sequences into clusters by examining the distances between all pairs. The clusters are aligned pairwise and then in groups. Other alignment algorithms or programs may be used, including FASTA, BLAST, or ENTREZ, FASTA and BLAST, and which may be used to calculate percent similarity. These are available as a part of the GCG sequence analysis package (University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis.), and can be used with or without default settings. ENTREZ is available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. In one embodiment, the percent identity of two sequences can be determined by the GCG program with a gap weight of 1, e.g., each amino acid gap is weighted as if it were a single amino acid or nucleotide mismatch between the two sequences (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,262,333).
Other techniques for alignment are described in Doolittle, R. F. (1996) Methods in Enzymology: Computer Methods for Macromolecular Sequence Analysis, vol. 266, Academic Press, Orlando, Fla., USA. Preferably, an alignment program that permits gaps in the sequence is utilized to align the sequences. The Smith-Waterman is one type of algorithm that permits gaps in sequence alignments (see Shpaer (1997) Methods Mol. Biol. 70: 173-187). Also, the GAP program using the Needleman and Wunsch alignment method can be utilized to align sequences. An alternative search strategy uses MPSRCH software, which runs on a MASPAR computer. MPSRCH uses a Smith-Waterman algorithm to score sequences on a massively parallel computer. This approach improves ability to pick up distantly related matches, and is especially tolerant of small gaps and nucleotide sequence errors. Nucleic acid-encoded amino acid sequences can be used to search both protein and DNA databases.
The percentage similarity between two polypeptide sequences, e.g., sequence A and sequence B, is calculated by dividing the length of sequence A, minus the number of gap residues in sequence A, minus the number of gap residues in sequence B, into the sum of the residue matches between sequence A and sequence B, times one hundred. Gaps of low or of no similarity between the two amino acid sequences are not included in determining percentage similarity. Percent identity between polynucleotide sequences can also be counted or calculated by other methods known in the art, e.g., the Jotun Hein method. (See, e.g., Hein (1990) Methods Enzymol. 183: 626-645.) Identity between sequences can also be determined by other methods known in the art, e.g., by varying hybridization conditions (see US Patent Application No. 20010010913).
The percent identity between two conserved domains of a transcription factor DNA-binding domain consensus polypeptide sequence can be as low as 16%, as exemplified in the case of GATA1 family of eukaryotic Cys2/Cys2-type zinc finger transcription factors. The DNA-binding domain consensus polypeptide sequence of the GATA1 family is CX2CX17CX2C, where X is any amino acid residue. (See, for example, Takatsuji, supra.) Other examples of such conserved consensus polypeptide sequences with low overall percent sequence identity are well known to those of skill in the art.
Thus, the invention provides methods for identifying a sequence similar or paralogous or orthologous or homologous to one or more polynucleotides as noted herein, or one or more target polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides, or otherwise noted herein and may include linking or associating a given plant phenotype or gene function with a sequence. In the methods, a sequence database is provided (locally or across an internet or intranet) and a query is made against the sequence database using the relevant sequences herein and associated plant phenotypes or gene functions.
In addition, one or more polynucleotide sequences or one or more polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotide sequences may be used to search against a BLOCKS (Bairoch et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25: 217-221), PFAM, and other databases which contain previously identified and annotated motifs, sequences and gene functions. Methods that search for primary sequence patterns with secondary structure gap penalties (Smith et al. (1992) Protein Engineering 5: 35-51) as well as algorithms such as Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST; Altschul (1993) J. Mol. Evol. 36: 290-300; Altschul et al. (1990) supra), BLOCKS (Henikoff and Henikoff (1991) Nucleic Acids Res. 19: 6565-6572), Hidden Markov Models (HMM; Eddy (1996) Curr. Opin. Str. Biol. 6: 361-365; Sonnhammer et al. (1997) Proteins 28: 405-420), and the like, can be used to manipulate and analyze polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences encoded by polynucleotides. These databases, algorithms and other methods are well known in the art and are described in Ausubel et al. (1997; Short Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., unit 7.7) and in Meyers (1995; Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Wiley VCH, New York, N.Y., p 856-853).
Furthermore, methods using manual alignment of sequences similar or homologous to one or more polynucleotide sequences or one or more polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotide sequences may be used to identify regions of similarity and conserved domains. Such manual methods are well-known of those of skill in the art and can include, for example, comparisons of tertiary structure between a polypeptide sequence encoded by a polynucleotide which comprises a known function with a polypeptide sequence encoded by a polynucleotide sequence which has a function not yet determined. Such examples of tertiary structure may comprise predicted alpha helices, beta-sheets, amphipathic helices, leucine zipper motifs, zinc finger motifs, proline-rich regions, cysteine repeat motifs, and the like.
Orthologs and paralogs of presently disclosed transcription factors may be cloned using compositions provided by the present invention according to methods well known in the art. cDNAs can be cloned using mRNA from a plant cell or tissue that expresses one of the present transcription factors. Appropriate mRNA sources may be identified by interrogating Northern blots with probes designed from the present transcription factor sequences, after which a library is prepared from the mRNA obtained from a positive cell or tissue. Transcription factor-encoding cDNA is then isolated using, for example, PCR, using primers designed from a presently disclosed transcription factor gene sequence, or by probing with a partial or complete cDNA or with one or more sets of degenerate probes based on the disclosed sequences. The cDNA library may be used to transform plant cells. Expression of the cDNAs of interest is detected using, for example, methods disclosed herein such as microarrays, Northern blots, quantitative PCR, or any other technique for monitoring changes in expression. Genomic clones may be isolated using similar techniques to those.
Identifying Polynucleotides or Nucleic Acids by Hybridization
Polynucleotides homologous to the sequences illustrated in the Sequence Listing and tables can be identified, e.g., by hybridization to each other under stringent or under highly stringent conditions. Single stranded polynucleotides hybridize when they associate based on a variety of well characterized physical-chemical forces, such as hydrogen bonding, solvent exclusion, base stacking and the like. The stringency of a hybridization reflects the degree of sequence identity of the nucleic acids involved, such that the higher the stringency, the more similar are the two polynucleotide strands. Stringency is influenced by a variety of factors, including temperature, salt concentration and composition, organic and non-organic additives, solvents, etc. present in both the hybridization and wash solutions and incubations (and number thereof), as described in more detail in the references cited above.
Encompassed by the invention are polynucleotide sequences that are capable of hybridizing to the claimed polynucleotide sequences, including any of the transcription factor polynucleotides within the Sequence Listing (excluding CBF sequences SEQ ID NOs: 1955, 1957, 1959, or 2203), and fragments thereof under various conditions of stringency (See, for example, Wahl and Berger (1987) Methods Enzymol. 152: 399-407; and Kimmel (1987) Methods Enzymol. 152: 507-511). In addition to the nucleotide sequences listed in Tables 4 and 5, full length cDNA, orthologs, and paralogs of the present nucleotide sequences may be identified and isolated using well-known methods. The cDNA libraries orthologs, and paralogs of the present nucleotide sequences may be screened using hybridization methods to determine their utility as hybridization target or amplification probes.
With regard to hybridization, conditions that are highly stringent, and means for achieving them, are well known in the art. See, for example, Sambrook et al. (1989) “Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual” (2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory); Berger and Kimmel, eds., (1987) “Guide to Molecular Cloning Techniques”, In Methods in Enzymology: 152: 467-469; and Anderson and Young (1985) “Quantitative Filter Hybridisation.” In: Hames and Higgins, ed., Nucleic Acid Hybridisation, A Practical Approach. Oxford, IRL Press, 73-111.
Stability of DNA duplexes is affected by such factors as base composition, length, and degree of base pair mismatch. Hybridization conditions may be adjusted to allow DNAs of different sequence relatedness to hybridize. The melting temperature (Tm) is defined as the temperature when 50% of the duplex molecules have dissociated into their constituent single strands. The melting temperature of a perfectly matched duplex, where the hybridization buffer contains formamide as a denaturing agent, may be estimated by the following equation:

DNA-DNA: Tm(° C.)=81.5+16.6(log [Na+])+0.41(% G+C)−0.62(% formamide)−500/L  (1)

DNA-RNA: Tm(° C.)=79.8+18.5(log [Na+])+0.58(% G+C)+0.12(% G+C)2−0.5(% formamide)−820/L  (2)

RNA-RNA: Tm(° C.)=79.8+18.5(log [Na+])+0.58(% G+C)+0.12(% G+C)2−0.35(% formamide)−820/L  (3)

where L is the length of the duplex formed, [Na+] is the molar concentration of the sodium ion in the hybridization or washing solution, and % G+C is the percentage of (guanine+cytosine) bases in the hybrid. For imperfectly matched hybrids, approximately 1° C. is required to reduce the melting temperature for each 1-% mismatch.
Hybridization experiments are generally conducted in a buffer of pH between 6.8 to 7.4, although the rate of hybridization is nearly independent of pH at ionic strengths likely to be used in the hybridization buffer (Anderson et al. (1985) supra). In addition, one or more of the following may be used to reduce non-specific hybridization: sonicated salmon sperm DNA or another non-complementary DNA, bovine serum albumin, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, ficoll and Denhardt's solution. Dextran sulfate and polyethylene glycol 6000 act to exclude DNA from solution, thus raising the effective probe DNA concentration and the hybridization signal within a given unit of time. In some instances, conditions of even greater stringency may be desirable or required to reduce non-specific and/or background hybridization. These conditions may be created with the use of higher temperature, lower ionic strength and higher concentration of a denaturing agent such as formamide.
Stringency conditions can be adjusted to screen for moderately similar fragments such as homologous sequences from distantly related organisms, or to highly similar fragments such as genes that duplicate functional enzymes from closely related organisms. The stringency can be adjusted either during the hybridization step or in the post-hybridization washes. Salt concentration, formamide concentration, hybridization temperature and probe lengths are variables that can be used to alter stringency (as described by the formula above). As a general guidelines high stringency is typically performed at Tm−5° C. to Tm−20° C., moderate stringency at Tm−20° C. to Tm−35° C. and low stringency at Tm−35° C. to Tm−50° C. for duplex>150 base pairs. Hybridization may be performed at low to moderate stringency (25-50° C. below Tm), followed by post-hybridization washes at increasing stringencies. Maximum rates of hybridization in solution are determined empirically to occur at Tm−25° C. for DNA-DNA duplex and Tm−15° C. for RNA-DNA duplex. Optionally, the degree of dissociation may be assessed after each wash step to determine the need for subsequent, higher stringency wash steps.
High stringency conditions may be used to select for nucleic acid sequences with high degrees of identity to the disclosed sequences. An example of stringent hybridization conditions obtained in a filter-based method such as a Southern or northern blot for hybridization of complementary nucleic acids that have more than 100 complementary residues is about 5° C. to 20° C. lower than the thermal melting point (Tm) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength and pH. Conditions used for hybridization may include about 0.02 M to about 0.15 M sodium chloride, about 0.5% to about 5% casein, about 0.02% SDS or about 0.1% N-laurylsarcosine, about 0.001 M to about 0.03 M sodium citrate, at hybridization temperatures between about 50° C. and about 70° C. More preferably, high stringency conditions are about 0.02 M sodium chloride, about 0.5% casein, about 0.02% SDS, about 0.001 M sodium citrate, at a temperature of about 50° C. Nucleic acid molecules that hybridize under stringent conditions will typically hybridize to a probe based on either the entire DNA molecule or selected portions, e.g., to a unique subsequence, of the DNA.
Stringent salt concentration will ordinarily be less than about 750 mM NaCl and 75 mM trisodium citrate. Increasingly stringent conditions may be obtained with less than about 500 mM NaCl and 50 mM trisodium citrate, to even greater stringency with less than about 250 mM NaCl and 25 mM trisodium citrate. Low stringency hybridization can be obtained in the absence of organic solvent, e.g., formamide, whereas high stringency hybridization may be obtained in the presence of at least about 35% formamide, and more preferably at least about 50% formamide. Stringent temperature conditions will ordinarily include temperatures of at least about 30° C., more preferably of at least about 37° C., and most preferably of at least about 42° C. with formamide present. Varying additional parameters, such as hybridization time, the concentration of detergent, e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and ionic strength, are well known to those skilled in the art. Various levels of stringency are accomplished by combining these various conditions as needed. In a preferred embodiment, hybridization will occur at 30° C. in 750 mM NaCl, 75 mM trisodium citrate, and 1% SDS. In a more preferred embodiment, hybridization will occur at 37° C. in 500 mM NaCl, 50 mM trisodium citrate, 1% SDS, 35% formamide. In a most preferred embodiment, hybridization will occur at 42° C. in 250 mM NaCl, 25 mM trisodium citrate, 1% SDS, 50% formamide. Useful variations on these conditions will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
The washing steps that follow hybridization may also vary in stringency; the post-hybridization wash steps primarily determine hybridization specificity, with the most critical factors being temperature and the ionic strength of the final wash solution. Wash stringency can be increased by decreasing salt concentration or by increasing temperature. Stringent salt concentration for the wash steps will preferably be less than about 30 mM NaCl and 3 mM trisodium citrate, and most preferably less than about 15 mM NaCl and 1.5 mM trisodium citrate. For example, the wash conditions may be under conditions of 0.1×SSC to 2.0×SSC and 0.1% SDS at 50-65° C., with, for example, two steps of 10-30 min. One example of stringent wash conditions includes about 2.0×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 65° C. and washing twice, each wash step being about 30 min. A higher stringency wash is about 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 65° C. and washing twice for 30 min. A still higher stringency wash is about 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 65° C. and washing twice for 30 min. The temperature for the wash solutions will ordinarily be at least about 25° C., and for greater stringency at least about 42° C. Hybridization stringency may be increased further by using the same conditions as in the hybridization steps, with the wash temperature raised about 3° C. to about 5° C., and stringency may be increased even further by using the same conditions except the wash temperature is raised about 6° C. to about 9° C. For identification of less closely related homolog, wash steps may be performed at a lower temperature, e.g., 50° C.
An example of a low stringency wash step employs a solution and conditions of at least 25° C. in 30 mM NaCl, 3 mM trisodium citrate, and 0.1% SDS over 30 min. Greater stringency may be obtained at 42° C. in 15 mM NaCl, with 1.5 mM trisodium citrate, and 0.1% SDS over 30 min. Even higher stringency wash conditions are obtained at 65° C.-68° C. in a solution of 15 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM trisodium citrate, and 0.1% SDS. Wash procedures will generally employ at least two final wash steps. Additional variations on these conditions will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art (see, for example, U.S. Patent Application No. 20010010913).
Stringency conditions can be selected such that an oligonucleotide that is perfectly complementary to the coding oligonucleotide hybridizes to the coding oligonucleotide with at least about a 5-10× higher signal to noise ratio than the ratio for hybridization of the perfectly complementary oligonucleotide to a nucleic acid encoding a transcription factor known as of the filing date of the application. It may be desirable to select conditions for a particular assay such that a higher signal to noise ratio, that is, about 15× or more, is obtained. Accordingly, a subject nucleic acid will hybridize to a unique coding oligonucleotide with at least a 2× or greater signal to noise ratio as compared to hybridization of the coding oligonucleotide to a nucleic acid encoding known polypeptide. The particular signal will depend on the label used in the relevant assay, e.g., a fluorescent label, a colorimetric label, a radioactive label, or the like. Labeled hybridization or PCR probes for detecting related polynucleotide sequences may be produced by oligolabeling, nick translation, end-labeling, or PCR amplification using a labeled nucleotide.
Identifying Polynucleotides or Nucleic Acids with Expression Libraries
In addition to hybridization methods, transcription factor homolog polypeptides can be obtained by screening an expression library using antibodies specific for one or more transcription factors. With the provision herein of the disclosed transcription factor, and transcription factor homolog nucleic acid sequences, the encoded polypeptide(s) can be expressed and purified in a heterologous expression system (e.g., E. coli) and used to raise antibodies (monoclonal or polyclonal) specific for the polypeptide(s) in question. Antibodies can also be raised against synthetic peptides derived from transcription factor, or transcription factor homolog, amino acid sequences. Methods of raising antibodies are well known in the art and are described in Harlow and Lane (1988), Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York. Such antibodies can then be used to screen an expression library produced from the plant from which it is desired to clone additional transcription factor homologs, using the methods described above. The selected cDNAs can be confirmed by sequencing and enzymatic activity.
Sequence Variations
It will readily be appreciated by those of skill in the art, that any of a variety of polynucleotide sequences are capable of encoding the transcription factors and transcription factor homolog polypeptides of the invention. Due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, many different polynucleotides can encode identical and/or substantially similar polypeptides in addition to those sequences illustrated in the Sequence Listing (except CBF polypeptide sequences SEQ ID NOs: 1956, 1958, 1960, or 2204). Nucleic acids having a sequence that differs from the sequences shown in the Sequence Listing, or complementary sequences, that encode functionally equivalent peptides (i.e., peptides having some degree of equivalent or similar biological activity) but differ in sequence from the sequence shown in the Sequence Listing due to degeneracy in the genetic code, are also within the scope of the invention.
Altered polynucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides include those sequences with deletions, insertions, or substitutions of different nucleotides, resulting in a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide with at least one functional characteristic of the instant polypeptides. Included within this definition are polymorphisms which may or may not be readily detectable using a particular oligonucleotide probe of the polynucleotide encoding the instant polypeptides, and improper or unexpected hybridization to allelic variants, with a locus other than the normal chromosomal locus for the polynucleotide sequence encoding the instant polypeptides.
Allelic variant refers to any of two or more alternative forms of a gene occupying the same chromosomal locus. Allelic variation arises naturally through mutation, and may result in phenotypic polymorphism within populations. Gene mutations can be silent (i.e., no change in the encoded polypeptide) or may encode polypeptides having altered amino acid sequence. The term allelic variant is also used herein to denote a protein encoded by an allelic variant of a gene. Splice variant refers to alternative forms of RNA transcribed from a gene. Splice variation arises naturally through use of alternative splicing sites within a transcribed RNA molecule, or less commonly between separately transcribed RNA molecules, and may result in several mRNAs transcribed from the same gene. Splice variants may encode polypeptides having altered amino acid sequence. The term splice variant is also used herein to denote a protein encoded by a splice variant of an mRNA transcribed from a gene.
Those skilled in the art would recognize that, for example, G28, SEQ ID NO: 10, represents a single transcription factor; allelic variation and alternative splicing may be expected to occur. Allelic variants of SEQ ID NO: 9 can be cloned by probing cDNA or genomic libraries from different individual organisms according to standard procedures. Allelic variants of the DNA sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 9, including those containing silent mutations and those in which mutations result in amino acid sequence changes, are within the scope of the present invention, as are proteins which are allelic variants of SEQ ID NO: 10. cDNAs generated from alternatively spliced mRNAs, which retain the properties of the transcription factor are included within the scope of the present invention, as are polypeptides encoded by such cDNAs and mRNAs. Allelic variants and splice variants of these sequences can be cloned by probing cDNA or genomic libraries from different individual organisms or tissues according to standard procedures known in the art (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,388,064).
Thus, in addition to the sequences set forth in the Sequence Listing (except CBF sequences), the invention also encompasses related nucleic acid molecules that include allelic or splice variants of SEQ ID NO: 2N−1, wherein N=1-229, SEQ ID NO: 459-466; 468-487; 491-500; 504; 506-511; 516-520; 523-524; 527; 529; 531-533; 538-539; 541-557; 560-568; 570-586; 595-596; 598-606; 610-620; 627-634; 640-664; 670-707; 714-719; 722-735; 740-741; 743-779; 808-823; 825-834; 838-850; 855-864; 868-889; 892-902; 908-909; 914-921; 924-925; 927-932; 935-942; 944-952; 961-965; 968-986; 989-993; 995-1010; 1012-1034; 1043-1063; 1074-1080; 1091-1104; 1111-1121; 1123-1128; 1134-1138; 1142-1156; 1159-1175; 1187-1190; 1192-1199; 1202-1220; 1249-1253; 1258-1262; 1264-1269; 1271-1287; 1292-1301; 1303-1309; 1315-1323; 1328-1337; 1340-1341; 1344-1361; 1365-1377; 1379-1390; 1393-1394; 1396-1398; 1419-1432; 1434-1452; 1455-1456; 1460-1465; 1468-1491; 1499; 1502; 1505-1521; 1523-1527; 1529-1532; 1536-1539; 1542-1562; 1567-1571; 1573-1582; 1587-1592; 1595-1620; 1625-1644; 1647-1654; 1659-1669; 1671-1673; 1675-1680; 1682-1686; 1688-1700; 1706-1709; 1714-1726; 1728-1734; 1738-1742; 1744-1753; 1757-1760; 1763-1764; 1766-1768; 1770-1780; 1782-1784; 1786-1789; 1791-1804; 1806-1812; 1814-1837; 1847-1856; 1858-1862; 1864-1873; 1876-1882; 1885-1896; 1902-1910; 1913-1916; 1921-1928; 1931-1936; 1940-1941; 1944-1946, or SEQ ID NO: 2N−1, wherein N=974-1101, and include sequences which are complementary to any of the above nucleotide sequences. Related nucleic acid molecules also include nucleotide sequences encoding a polypeptide comprising or consisting essentially of a substitution, modification, addition and/or deletion of one or more amino acid residues compared to the polypeptide as set forth in any of SEQ ID NO: 2N, wherein N=1-229, SEQ ID NO: 467; 488-490; 501-503; 505; 512-515; 521-522; 525-526; 528; 530; 534-537; 540; 558-559; 569; 587-594; 597; 607-609; 621-626; 635-639; 665-669; 708-713; 720-721; 736-739; 742; 780-807; 824; 835-837; 851-854; 865-867; 890-891; 903-907; 910-913; 922-923; 926; 933-934; 943; 953-960; 966-967; 987-988; 994; 1011; 1035-1042; 1064-1073; 1081-1090; 1105-1110; 1122; 1129-1133; 1139-1141; 1157-1158; 1176-1186; 1191; 1200-1201; 1221-1248; 1254-1257; 1263; 1270; 1288-1291; 1302; 1310-1314; 1324-1327; 1338-1339; 1342-1343; 1362-1364; 1378; 1391-1392; 1395; 1399-1418; 1433; 1453-1454; 1457-1459; 1466-1467; 1492-1498; 1500-1501; 1503-1504; 1522; 1528; 1533-1535; 1540-1541; 1563-1566; 1572; 1583-1586; 1593-1594; 1621-1624; 1645-1646; 1655-1658; 1670; 1674; 1681; 1687; 1701-1705; 1710-1713; 1727; 1735-1737; 1743; 1754-1756; 1761-1762; 1765; 1769; 1781; 1785; 1790; 1805; 1813; 1838-1846; 1857; 1863; 1874-1875; 1883-1884; 1897-1901; 1911-1912; 1917-1920; 1929-1930; 1937-1939; 1942-1943; or SEQ ID NO: 2N, wherein N=974-1101. Such related polypeptides may comprise, for example, additions and/or deletions of one or more N-linked or O-linked glycosylation sites, or an addition and/or a deletion of one or more cysteine residues.
For example, Table 1 illustrates, e.g., that the codons AGC, AGT, TCA, TCC, TCG, and TCT all encode the same amino acid: serine. Accordingly, at each position in the sequence where there is a codon encoding serine, any of the above trinucleotide sequences can be used without altering the encoded polypeptide.

Sequence alterations that do not change the amino acid sequence encoded by the polynucleotide are termed “silent” variations. With the exception of the codons ATG and TGG, encoding methionine and tryptophan, respectively, any of the possible codons for the same amino acid can be substituted by a variety of techniques, e.g., site-directed mutagenesis, available in the art. Accordingly, any and all such variations of a sequence selected from the above table are a feature of the invention.
In addition to silent variations, other conservative variations that alter one, or a few amino acids in the encoded polypeptide, can be made without altering the function of the polypeptide, these conservative variants are, likewise, a feature of the invention.
For example, substitutions, deletions and insertions introduced into the sequences provided in the Sequence Listing (except CBF polypeptide sequences SEQ ID NOs: 1956, 1958, 1960, or 2204, listed therein), are also envisioned by the invention. Such sequence modifications can be engineered into a sequence by site-directed mutagenesis (Wu (ed.) Methods Enzymol. (1993) vol. 217, Academic Press) or the other methods noted below Amino acid substitutions are typically of single residues; insertions usually will be on the order of about from 1 to 10 amino acid residues; and deletions will range about from 1 to 30 residues. In preferred embodiments, deletions or insertions are made in adjacent pairs, e.g., a deletion of two residues or insertion of two residues. Substitutions, deletions, insertions or any combination thereof can be combined to arrive at a sequence. The mutations that are made in the polynucleotide encoding the transcription factor should not place the sequence out of reading frame and should not create complementary regions that could produce secondary mRNA structure. Preferably, the polypeptide encoded by the DNA performs the desired function.
Conservative substitutions are those in which at least one residue in the amino acid sequence has been removed and a different residue inserted in its place. Such substitutions generally are made in accordance with the Table 2 when it is desired to maintain the activity of the protein. Table 2 shows amino acids which can be substituted for an amino acid in a protein and which are typically regarded as conservative substitutions.

Similar substitutions are those in which at least one residue in the amino acid sequence has been removed and a different residue inserted in its place. Such substitutions generally are made in accordance with the Table 3 when it is desired to maintain the activity of the protein. Table 3 shows amino acids which can be substituted for an amino acid in a protein and which are typically regarded as structural and functional substitutions. For example, a residue in column 1 of Table 3 may be substituted with a residue in column 2; in addition, a residue in column 2 of Table 3 may be substituted with the residue of column 1.

Substitutions that are less conservative than those in Table 2 can be selected by picking residues that differ more significantly in their effect on maintaining (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the area of the substitution, for example, as a sheet or helical conformation, (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at the target site, or (c) the bulk of the side chain. The substitutions which in general are expected to produce the greatest changes in protein properties will be those in which (a) a hydrophilic residue, e.g., seryl or threonyl, is substituted for (or by) a hydrophobic residue, e.g., leucyl, isoleucyl, phenylalanyl, valyl or alanyl; (b) a cysteine or proline is substituted for (or by) any other residue; (c) a residue having an electropositive side chain, e.g., lysyl, arginyl, or histidyl, is substituted for (or by) an electronegative residue, e.g., glutamyl or aspartyl; or (d) a residue having a bulky side chain, e.g., phenylalanine, is substituted for (or by) one not having a side chain, e.g., glycine.
Further Modifying Sequences of the Invention—Mutation/Forced Evolution
In addition to generating silent or conservative substitutions as noted, above, the present invention optionally includes methods of modifying the sequences of the Sequence Listing. In the methods, nucleic acid or protein modification methods are used to alter the given sequences to produce new sequences and/or to chemically or enzymatically modify given sequences to change the properties of the nucleic acids or proteins.
Thus, in one embodiment, given nucleic acid sequences are modified, e.g., according to standard mutagenesis or artificial evolution methods to produce modified sequences. The modified sequences may be created using purified natural polynucleotides isolated from any organism or may be synthesized from purified compositions and chemicals using chemical means well know to those of skill in the art. For example, Ausubel, supra, provides additional details on mutagenesis methods. Artificial forced evolution methods are described, for example, by Stemmer (1994) Nature 370: 389-391, Stemmer (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 91: 10747-10751, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,811,238, 5,837,500, and 6,242,568. Methods for engineering synthetic transcription factors and other polypeptides are described, for example, by Zhang et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275: 33850-33860, Liu et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276: 11323-11334, and Isalan et al. (2001) Nature Biotechnol. 19: 656-660. Many other mutation and evolution methods are also available and expected to be within the skill of the practitioner.
Similarly, chemical or enzymatic alteration of expressed nucleic acids and polypeptides can be performed by standard methods. For example, sequence can be modified by addition of lipids, sugars, peptides, organic or inorganic compounds, by the inclusion of modified nucleotides or amino acids, or the like. For example, protein modification techniques are illustrated in Ausubel, supra. Further details on chemical and enzymatic modifications can be found herein. These modification methods can be used to modify any given sequence, or to modify any sequence produced by the various mutation and artificial evolution modification methods noted herein.
Accordingly, the invention provides for modification of any given nucleic acid by mutation, evolution, chemical or enzymatic modification, or other available methods, as well as for the products produced by practicing such methods, e.g., using the sequences herein as a starting substrate for the various modification approaches.
For example, optimized coding sequence containing codons preferred by a particular prokaryotic or eukaryotic host can be used e.g., to increase the rate of translation or to produce recombinant RNA transcripts having desirable properties, such as a longer half-life, as compared with transcripts produced using a non-optimized sequence. Translation stop codons can also be modified to reflect host preference. For example, preferred stop codons for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammals are TAA and TGA, respectively. The preferred stop codon for monocotyledonous plants is TGA, whereas insects and E. coli prefer to use TAA as the stop codon.
The polynucleotide sequences of the present invention can also be engineered in order to alter a coding sequence for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, alterations which modify the sequence to facilitate cloning, processing and/or expression of the gene product. For example, alterations are optionally introduced using techniques which are well known in the art, e.g., site-directed mutagenesis, to insert new restriction sites, to alter glycosylation patterns, to change codon preference, to introduce splice sites, etc.
Furthermore, a fragment or domain derived from any of the polypeptides of the invention can be combined with domains derived from other transcription factors or synthetic domains to modify the biological activity of a transcription factor. For instance, a DNA-binding domain derived from a transcription factor of the invention can be combined with the activation domain of another transcription factor or with a synthetic activation domain. A transcription activation domain assists in initiating transcription from a DNA-binding site. Examples include the transcription activation region of VP16 or GAL4 (Moore et al. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 95: 376-381; Aoyama et al. (1995) Plant Cell 7: 1773-1785), peptides derived from bacterial sequences (Ma and Ptashne (1987) Cell 51: 113-119) and synthetic peptides (Giniger and Ptashne (1987) Nature 330: 670-672).
Expression and Modification of Polypeptides
Typically, polynucleotide sequences of the invention are incorporated into recombinant DNA (or RNA) molecules that direct expression of polypeptides of the invention in appropriate host cells, transgenic plants, in vitro translation systems, or the like. Due to the inherent degeneracy of the genetic code, nucleic acid sequences which encode substantially the same or a functionally equivalent amino acid sequence can be substituted for any listed sequence to provide for cloning and expressing the relevant homolog.
The transgenic plants of the present invention comprising recombinant polynucleotide sequences are generally derived from parental plants, which may themselves be non-transformed (or non-transgenic) plants. These transgenic plants may either have a transcription factor gene “knocked out” (for example, with a genomic insertion by homologous recombination, an antisense or ribozyme construct) or expressed to a normal or wild-type extent. However, overexpressing transgenic “progeny” plants will exhibit greater mRNA levels, wherein the mRNA encodes a transcription factor, that is, a DNA-binding protein that is capable of binding to a DNA regulatory sequence and inducing transcription, and preferably, expression of a plant trait gene. Preferably, the mRNA expression level will be at least three-fold greater than that of the parental plant, or more preferably at least ten-fold greater mRNA levels compared to said parental plant, and most preferably at least fifty-fold greater compared to said parental plant.
Vectors, Promoters, and Expression Systems
The present invention includes recombinant constructs comprising one or more of the nucleic acid sequences herein. The constructs typically comprise a vector, such as a plasmid, a cosmid, a phage, a virus (e.g., a plant virus), a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), or the like, into which a nucleic acid sequence of the invention has been inserted, in a forward or reverse orientation. In a preferred aspect of this embodiment, the construct further comprises regulatory sequences, including, for example, a promoter, operably linked to the sequence. Large numbers of suitable vectors and promoters are known to those of skill in the art, and are commercially available.
General texts that describe molecular biological techniques useful herein, including the use and production of vectors, promoters and many other relevant topics, include Berger, Sambrook, supra and Ausubel, supra. Any of the identified sequences can be incorporated into a cassette or vector, e.g., for expression in plants. A number of expression vectors suitable for stable transformation of plant cells or for the establishment of transgenic plants have been described including those described in Weissbach and Weissbach (1989) Methods for Plant Molecular Biology, Academic Press, and Gelvin et al. (1990) Plant Molecular Biology Manual, Kluwer Academic Publishers. Specific examples include those derived from a Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, as well as those disclosed by Herrera-Estrella et al. (1983) Nature 303: 209, Bevan (1984) Nucleic Acids Res. 12: 8711-8721, Klee (1985) Bio/Technology 3: 637-642, for dicotyledonous plants.
Alternatively, non-Ti vectors can be used to transfer the DNA into monocotyledonous plants and cells by using free DNA delivery techniques. Such methods can involve, for example, the use of liposomes, electroporation, microprojectile bombardment, silicon carbide whiskers, and viruses. By using these methods transgenic plants such as wheat, rice (Christou (1991) Bio/Technology 9: 957-962) and corn (Gordon-Kamm (1990) Plant Cell 2: 603-618) can be produced. An immature embryo can also be a good target tissue for monocots for direct DNA delivery techniques by using the particle gun (Weeks et al. (1993) Plant Physiol. 102: 1077-1084; Vasil (1993) Bio/Technology 10: 667-674; Wan and Lemeaux (1994) Plant Physiol. 104: 37-48, and for Agrobacterium-mediated DNA transfer (Ishida et al. (1996) Nature Biotechnol. 14: 745-750).
Typically, plant transformation vectors include one or more cloned plant coding sequence (genomic or cDNA) under the transcriptional control of 5′ and 3′ regulatory sequences and a dominant selectable marker. Such plant transformation vectors typically also contain a promoter (e.g., a regulatory region controlling inducible or constitutive, environmentally- or developmentally-regulated, or cell- or tissue-specific expression), a transcription initiation start site, an RNA processing signal (such as intron splice sites), a transcription termination site, and/or a polyadenylation signal.
A potential utility for the transcription factor polynucleotides disclosed herein is the isolation of promoter elements from these genes that can be used to program expression in plants of any genes. Each transcription factor gene disclosed herein is expressed in a unique fashion, as determined by promoter elements located upstream of the start of translation, and additionally within an intron of the transcription factor gene or downstream of the termination codon of the gene. As is well known in the art, for a significant portion of genes, the promoter sequences are located entirely in the region directly upstream of the start of translation. In such cases, typically the promoter sequences are located within 2.0 kb of the start of translation, or within 1.5 kb of the start of translation, frequently within 1.0 kb of the start of translation, and sometimes within 0.5 kb of the start of translation.
The promoter sequences can be isolated according to methods known to one skilled in the art.
Examples of constitutive plant promoters which can be useful for expressing the TF sequence include: the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, which confers constitutive, high-level expression in most plant tissues (see, e.g., Odell et al. (1985) Nature 313: 810-812); the nopaline synthase promoter (An et al. (1988) Plant Physiol. 88: 547-552); and the octopine synthase promoter (Fromm et al. (1989) Plant Cell 1: 977-984).
A variety of plant gene promoters that regulate gene expression in response to environmental, hormonal, chemical, developmental signals, and in a tissue-active manner can be used for expression of a TF sequence in plants. Choice of a promoter is based largely on the phenotype of interest and is determined by such factors as tissue (e.g., seed, fruit, root, pollen, vascular tissue, flower, carpel, etc.), inducibility (e.g., in response to wounding, heat, cold, drought, light, pathogens, etc), timing, developmental stage, and the like. Numerous known promoters have been characterized and can favorably be employed to promote expression of a polynucleotide of the invention in a transgenic plant or cell of interest. For example, tissue specific promoters include: seed-specific promoters (such as the napin, phaseolin or DC3 promoter described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,773,697), fruit-specific promoters that are active during fruit ripening (such as the dru 1 promoter (U.S. Pat. No. 5,783,393), or the 2A11 promoter (U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,674) and the tomato polygalacturonase promoter (Bird et al. (1988) Plant Mol. Biol. 11: 651-662), root-specific promoters, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,618,988, 5,837,848 and 5,905,186, pollen-active promoters such as PTA29, PTA26 and PTA13 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,792,929), promoters active in vascular tissue (Ringli and Keller (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 37: 977-988), flower-specific (Kaiser et al. (1995) Plant Mol. Biol. 28: 231-243), pollen (Baerson et al. (1994) Plant Mol. Biol. 26: 1947-1959), carpels (Ohl et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2: 837-848), pollen and ovules (Baerson et al. (1993) Plant Mol. Biol. 22: 255-267), auxin-inducible promoters (such as that described in van der Kop et al. (1999) Plant Mol. Biol. 39: 979-990 or Baumann et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11: 323-334), cytokinin-inducible promoter (Guevara-Garcia (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38: 743-753), promoters responsive to gibberellin (Shi et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38: 1053-1060, Willmott et al. (1998) 38: 817-825) and the like. Additional promoters are those that elicit expression in response to heat (Ainley et al. (1993) Plant Mol. Biol. 22: 13-23), light (e.g., the pea rbcS-3A promoter, Kuhlemeier et al. (1989) Plant Cell 1: 471-478, and the maize rbcS promoter, Schaffner and Sheen (1991) Plant Cell 3: 997-1012); wounding (e.g., wunI, Siebertz et al. (1989) Plant Cell 1: 961-968); pathogens (such as the PR-1 promoter described in Buchel et al. (1999) Plant Mol. Biol. 40: 387-396, and the PDF1.2 promoter described in Manners et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38: 1071-1080), and chemicals such as methyl jasmonate or salicylic acid (Gatz (1997) Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 48: 89-108). In addition, the timing of the expression can be controlled by using promoters such as those acting at senescence (Gan and Amasino (1995) Science 270: 1986-1988); or late seed development (Odell et al. (1994) Plant Physiol. 106: 447-458).
Plant expression vectors can also include RNA processing signals that can be positioned within, upstream or downstream of the coding sequence. In addition, the expression vectors can include additional regulatory sequences from the 3′-untranslated region of plant genes, e.g., a 3′ terminator region to increase mRNA stability of the mRNA, such as the PI-II terminator region of potato or the octopine or nopaline synthase 3′ terminator regions.
Additional Expression Elements
Specific initiation signals can aid in efficient translation of coding sequences. These signals can include, e.g., the ATG initiation codon and adjacent sequences. In cases where a coding sequence, its initiation codon and upstream sequences are inserted into the appropriate expression vector, no additional translational control signals may be needed. However, in cases where only coding sequence (e.g., a mature protein coding sequence), or a portion thereof, is inserted, exogenous transcriptional control signals including the ATG initiation codon can be separately provided. The initiation codon is provided in the correct reading frame to facilitate transcription. Exogenous transcriptional elements and initiation codons can be of various origins, both natural and synthetic. The efficiency of expression can be enhanced by the inclusion of enhancers appropriate to the cell system in use.
Expression Hosts
The present invention also relates to host cells which are transduced with vectors of the invention, and the production of polypeptides of the invention (including fragments thereof) by recombinant techniques. Host cells are genetically engineered (i.e., nucleic acids are introduced, e.g., transduced, transformed or transfected) with the vectors of this invention, which may be, for example, a cloning vector or an expression vector comprising the relevant nucleic acids herein. The vector is optionally a plasmid, a viral particle, a phage, a naked nucleic acid, etc. The engineered host cells can be cultured in conventional nutrient media modified as appropriate for activating promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying the relevant gene. The culture conditions, such as temperature, pH and the like, are those previously used with the host cell selected for expression, and will be apparent to those skilled in the art and in the references cited herein, including, Sambrook, supra and Ausubel, supra.
The host cell can be a eukaryotic cell, such as a yeast cell, or a plant cell, or the host cell can be a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterial cell. Plant protoplasts are also suitable for some applications. For example, the DNA fragments are introduced into plant tissues, cultured plant cells or plant protoplasts by standard methods including electroporation (Fromm et al. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 82: 5824-5828, infection by viral vectors such as cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) (Hohn et al. (1982) Molecular Biology of Plant Tumors Academic Press, New York, N.Y., pp. 549-560; U.S. Pat. No. 4,407,956), high velocity ballistic penetration by small particles with the nucleic acid either within the matrix of small beads or particles, or on the surface (Klein et al. (1987) Nature 327: 70-73), use of pollen as vector (WO 85/01856), or use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens or A. rhizogenes carrying a T-DNA plasmid in which DNA fragments are cloned. The T-DNA plasmid is transmitted to plant cells upon infection by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and a portion is stably integrated into the plant genome (Horsch et al. (1984) Science 233: 496-498; Fraley et al. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 80: 4803-4807).
The cell can include a nucleic acid of the invention that encodes a polypeptide, wherein the cell expresses a polypeptide of the invention. The cell can also include vector sequences, or the like. Furthermore, cells and transgenic plants that include any polypeptide or nucleic acid above or throughout this specification, e.g., produced by transduction of a vector of the invention, are an additional feature of the invention.
For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression can be used. Host cells transformed with a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide of the invention are optionally cultured under conditions suitable for the expression and recovery of the encoded protein from cell culture. The protein or fragment thereof produced by a recombinant cell may be secreted, membrane-bound, or contained intracellularly, depending on the sequence and/or the vector used. As will be understood by those of skill in the art, expression vectors containing polynucleotides encoding mature proteins of the invention can be designed with signal sequences which direct secretion of the mature polypeptides through a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell membrane.
Modified Amino Acid Residues
Polypeptides of the invention may contain one or more modified amino acid residues. The presence of modified amino acids may be advantageous in, for example, increasing polypeptide half-life, reducing polypeptide antigenicity or toxicity, increasing polypeptide storage stability, or the like. Amino acid residue(s) are modified, for example, co-translationally or post-translationally during recombinant production or modified by synthetic or chemical means.
Non-limiting examples of a modified amino acid residue include incorporation or other use of acetylated amino acids, glycosylated amino acids, sulfated amino acids, prenylated (e.g., farnesylated, geranylgeranylated) amino acids, PEG modified (e.g., “PEGylated”) amino acids, biotinylated amino acids, carboxylated amino acids, phosphorylated amino acids, etc. References adequate to guide one of skill in the modification of amino acid residues are replete throughout the literature.
The modified amino acid residues may prevent or increase affinity of the polypeptide for another molecule, including, but not limited to, polynucleotide, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and lipid derivatives, and other organic or synthetic compounds.
Identification of Additional Factors
A transcription factor provided by the present invention can also be used to identify additional endogenous or exogenous molecules that can affect a phenotype or trait of interest. On the one hand, such molecules include organic (small or large molecules) and/or inorganic compounds that affect expression of (i.e., regulate) a particular transcription factor. Alternatively, such molecules include endogenous molecules that are acted upon either at a transcriptional level by a transcription factor of the invention to modify a phenotype as desired. For example, the transcription factors can be employed to identify one or more downstream genes that are subject to a regulatory effect of the transcription factor. In one approach, a transcription factor or transcription factor homolog of the invention is expressed in a host cell, e.g., a transgenic plant cell, tissue or explant, and expression products, either RNA or protein, of likely or random targets are monitored, e.g., by hybridization to a microarray of nucleic acid probes corresponding to genes expressed in a tissue or cell type of interest, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of protein products, or by any other method known in the art for assessing expression of gene products at the level of RNA or protein. Alternatively, a transcription factor of the invention can be used to identify promoter sequences (such as binding sites on DNA sequences) involved in the regulation of a downstream target. After identifying a promoter sequence, interactions between the transcription factor and the promoter sequence can be modified by changing specific nucleotides in the promoter sequence or specific amino acids in the transcription factor that interact with the promoter sequence to alter a plant trait. Typically, transcription factor DNA-binding sites are identified by gel shift assays. After identifying the promoter regions, the promoter region sequences can be employed in double-stranded DNA arrays to identify molecules that affect the interactions of the transcription factors with their promoters (Bulyk et al. (1999) Nature Biotechnol. 17: 573-577).
The identified transcription factors are also useful to identify proteins that modify the activity of the transcription factor. Such modification can occur by covalent modification, such as by phosphorylation, or by protein-protein (homo or -heteropolymer) interactions. Any method suitable for detecting protein-protein interactions can be employed. Among the methods that can be employed are co-immunoprecipitation, cross-linking and co-purification through gradients or chromatographic columns, and the two-hybrid yeast system.
The two-hybrid system detects protein interactions in vivo and is described in Chien et al. (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 88: 9578-9582, and is commercially available from Clontech (Palo Alto, Calif.). In such a system, plasmids are constructed that encode two hybrid proteins: one consists of the DNA-binding domain of a transcription activator protein fused to the TF polypeptide and the other consists of the transcription activator protein's activation domain fused to an unknown protein that is encoded by a cDNA that has been recombined into the plasmid as part of a cDNA library. The DNA-binding domain fusion plasmid and the cDNA library are transformed into a strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that contains a reporter gene (e.g., lacZ) whose regulatory region contains the transcription activator's binding site. Either hybrid protein alone cannot activate transcription of the reporter gene. Interaction of the two hybrid proteins reconstitutes the functional activator protein and results in expression of the reporter gene, which is detected by an assay for the reporter gene product. Then, the library plasmids responsible for reporter gene expression are isolated and sequenced to identify the proteins encoded by the library plasmids. After identifying proteins that interact with the transcription factors, assays for compounds that interfere with the TF protein-protein interactions can be preformed.
Identification of Modulators
In addition to the intracellular molecules described above, extracellular molecules that alter activity or expression of a transcription factor, either directly or indirectly, can be identified. For example, the methods can entail first placing a candidate molecule in contact with a plant or plant cell. The molecule can be introduced by topical administration, such as spraying or soaking of a plant, or incubating a plant in a solution containing the molecule, and then the molecule's effect on the expression or activity of the TF polypeptide or the expression of the polynucleotide monitored. Changes in the expression of the TF polypeptide can be monitored by use of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies, gel electrophoresis or the like. Changes in the expression of the corresponding polynucleotide sequence can be detected by use of microarrays, Northerns, quantitative PCR, or any other technique for monitoring changes in mRNA expression. These techniques are exemplified in Ausubel et al. (eds.) Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons (1998, and supplements through 2001). Changes in the activity of the transcription factor can be monitored, directly or indirectly, by assaying the function of the transcription factor, for example, by measuring the expression of promoters known to be controlled by the transcription factor (using promoter-reporter constructs), measuring the levels of transcripts using microarrays, Northern blots, quantitative PCR, etc. Such changes in the expression levels can be correlated with modified plant traits and thus identified molecules can be useful for soaking or spraying on fruit, vegetable and grain crops to modify traits in plants.
Essentially any available composition can be tested for modulatory activity of expression or activity of any nucleic acid or polypeptide herein. Thus, available libraries of compounds such as chemicals, polypeptides, nucleic acids and the like can be tested for modulatory activity. Often, potential modulator compounds can be dissolved in aqueous or organic (e.g., DMSO-based) solutions for easy delivery to the cell or plant of interest in which the activity of the modulator is to be tested. Optionally, the assays are designed to screen large modulator composition libraries by automating the assay steps and providing compounds from any convenient source to assays, which are typically run in parallel (e.g., in microtiter formats on microplates in robotic assays).
In one embodiment, high throughput screening methods involve providing a combinatorial library containing a large number of potential compounds (potential modulator compounds). Such “combinatorial chemical libraries” are then screened in one or more assays, as described herein, to identify those library members (particular chemical species or subclasses) that display a desired characteristic activity. The compounds thus identified can serve as target compounds.
A combinatorial chemical library can be, e.g., a collection of diverse chemical compounds generated by chemical synthesis or biological synthesis. For example, a combinatorial chemical library such as a polypeptide library is formed by combining a set of chemical building blocks (e.g., in one example, amino acids) in every possible way for a given compound length (i.e., the number of amino acids in a polypeptide compound of a set length). Exemplary libraries include peptide libraries, nucleic acid libraries, antibody libraries (see, e.g., Vaughn et al. (1996) Nature Biotechnol. 14: 309-314 and PCT/US96/10287), carbohydrate libraries (see, e.g., Liang et al. Science (1996) 274: 1520-1522 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,593,853), peptide nucleic acid libraries (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,539,083), and small organic molecule libraries (see, e.g., benzodiazepines, in Baum Chem. & Engineering News Jan. 18, 1993, page 33; isoprenoids, U.S. Pat. No. 5,569,588; thiazolidinones and metathiazanones, U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,974; pyrrolidines, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,525,735 and 5,519,134; morpholino compounds, U.S. Pat. No. 5,506,337) and the like.
Preparation and screening of combinatorial or other libraries is well known to those of skill in the art. Such combinatorial chemical libraries include, but are not limited to, peptide libraries (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,175; Furka, (1991) Int. J. Pept. Prot. Res. 37: 487-493; and Houghton et al. (1991) Nature 354: 84-88). Other chemistries for generating chemical diversity libraries can also be used.
In addition, as noted, compound screening equipment for high-throughput screening is generally available, e.g., using any of a number of well known robotic systems that have also been developed for solution phase chemistries useful in assay systems. These systems include automated workstations including an automated synthesis apparatus and robotic systems utilizing robotic arms. Any of the above devices are suitable for use with the present invention, e.g., for high-throughput screening of potential modulators. The nature and implementation of modifications to these devices (if any) so that they can operate as discussed herein will be apparent to persons skilled in the relevant art.
Indeed, entire high-throughput screening systems are commercially available. These systems typically automate entire procedures including all sample and reagent pipetting, liquid dispensing, timed incubations, and final readings of the microplate in detector(s) appropriate for the assay. These configurable systems provide high throughput and rapid start up as well as a high degree of flexibility and customization. Similarly, microfluidic implementations of screening are also commercially available.
The manufacturers of such systems provide detailed protocols the various high throughput. Thus, for example, Zymark Corp. provides technical bulletins describing screening systems for detecting the modulation of gene transcription, ligand binding, and the like. The integrated systems herein, in addition to providing for sequence alignment and, optionally, synthesis of relevant nucleic acids, can include such screening apparatus to identify modulators that have an effect on one or more polynucleotides or polypeptides according to the present invention.
In some assays it is desirable to have positive controls to ensure that the components of the assays are working properly. At least two types of positive controls are appropriate. That is, known transcriptional activators or inhibitors can be incubated with cells or plants, for example, in one sample of the assay, and the resulting increase/decrease in transcription can be detected by measuring the resulting increase in RNA levels and/or protein expression, for example, according to the methods herein. It will be appreciated that modulators can also be combined with transcriptional activators or inhibitors to find modulators that inhibit transcriptional activation or transcriptional repression. Either expression of the nucleic acids and proteins herein or any additional nucleic acids or proteins activated by the nucleic acids or proteins herein, or both, can be monitored.
In an embodiment, the invention provides a method for identifying compositions that modulate the activity or expression of a polynucleotide or polypeptide of the invention. For example, a test compound, whether a small or large molecule, is placed in contact with a cell, plant (or plant tissue or explant), or composition comprising the polynucleotide or polypeptide of interest and a resulting effect on the cell, plant, (or tissue or explant) or composition is evaluated by monitoring, either directly or indirectly, one or more of: expression level of the polynucleotide or polypeptide, activity (or modulation of the activity) of the polynucleotide or polypeptide. In some cases, an alteration in a plant phenotype can be detected following contact of a plant (or plant cell, or tissue or explant) with the putative modulator, e.g., by modulation of expression or activity of a polynucleotide or polypeptide of the invention. Modulation of expression or activity of a polynucleotide or polypeptide of the invention may also be caused by molecular elements in a signal transduction second messenger pathway and such modulation can affect similar elements in the same or another signal transduction second messenger pathway.
Subsequences
Also contemplated are uses of polynucleotides, also referred to herein as oligonucleotides, typically having at least 12 bases, preferably at least 15, more preferably at least 20, 30, or 50 bases, which hybridize under at least highly stringent (or ultra-high stringent or ultra-ultra-high stringent conditions) conditions to a polynucleotide sequence described above. The polynucleotides may be used as probes, primers, sense and antisense agents, and the like, according to methods as noted supra.
Subsequences of the polynucleotides of the invention, including polynucleotide fragments and oligonucleotides are useful as nucleic acid probes and primers. An oligonucleotide suitable for use as a probe or primer is at least about 15 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 18 nucleotides, often at least about 21 nucleotides, frequently at least about 30 nucleotides, or about 40 nucleotides, or more in length. A nucleic acid probe is useful in hybridization protocols, e.g., to identify additional polypeptide homologs of the invention, including protocols for microarray experiments. Primers can be annealed to a complementary target DNA strand by nucleic acid hybridization to form a hybrid between the primer and the target DNA strand, and then extended along the target DNA strand by a DNA polymerase enzyme. Primer pairs can be used for amplification of a nucleic acid sequence, e.g., by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or other nucleic-acid amplification methods. See Sambrook, supra, and Ausubel, supra.
In addition, the invention includes an isolated or recombinant polypeptide including a subsequence of at least about 15 contiguous amino acids encoded by the recombinant or isolated polynucleotides of the invention. For example, such polypeptides, or domains or fragments thereof, can be used as immunogens, e.g., to produce antibodies specific for the polypeptide sequence, or as probes for detecting a sequence of interest. A subsequence can range in size from about 15 amino acids in length up to and including the full length of the polypeptide.
To be encompassed by the present invention, an expressed polypeptide which comprises such a polypeptide subsequence performs at least one biological function of the intact polypeptide in substantially the same manner, or to a similar extent, as does the intact polypeptide. For example, a polypeptide fragment can comprise a recognizable structural motif or functional domain such as a DNA binding domain that activates transcription, e.g., by binding to a specific DNA promoter region an activation domain, or a domain for protein-protein interactions.
Production of Transgenic Plants
Modification of Traits
The polynucleotides of the invention are favorably employed to produce transgenic plants with various traits, or characteristics, that have been modified in a desirable manner, e.g., to improve the seed characteristics of a plant. For example, alteration of expression levels or patterns (e.g., spatial or temporal expression patterns) of one or more of the transcription factors (or transcription factor homologs) of the invention, as compared with the levels of the same protein found in a wild-type plant, can be used to modify a plant's traits. An illustrative example of trait modification, improved characteristics, by altering expression levels of a particular transcription factor is described further in the Examples and the Sequence Listing.
Arabidopsis as a Model System
Arabidopsis thaliana is the object of rapidly growing attention as a model for genetics and metabolism in plants. Arabidopsis has a small genome, and well-documented studies are available. It is easy to grow in large numbers and mutants defining important genetically controlled mechanisms are either available, or can readily be obtained. Various methods to introduce and express isolated homologous genes are available (see Koncz et al. eds., et al. Methods in Arabidopsis Research (1992) et al. World Scientific, New Jersey, N.J., in “Preface”). Because of its small size, short life cycle, obligate autogamy and high fertility, Arabidopsis is also a choice organism for the isolation of mutants and studies in morphogenetic and development pathways, and control of these pathways by transcription factors (Koncz supra, p. 72). A number of studies introducing transcription factors into A. thaliana have demonstrated the utility of this plant for understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation and trait alteration in plants. (See, for example, Koncz supra, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,417,428).
Arabidopsis Genes in Transgenic Plants.
Expression of genes which encode transcription factors modify expression of endogenous genes, polynucleotides, and proteins are well known in the art. In addition, transgenic plants comprising isolated polynucleotides encoding transcription factors may also modify expression of endogenous genes, polynucleotides, and proteins. Examples include Peng et al. (1997) et al. Genes and Development 11: 3194-3205, and Peng et al. (1999) Nature 400: 256-261. In addition, many others have demonstrated that an Arabidopsis transcription factor expressed in an exogenous plant species elicits the same or very similar phenotypic response. See, for example, Fu et al. (2001) Plant Cell 13: 1791-1802; Nandi et al. (2000) Curr. Biol. 10: 215-218; Coupland (1995) Nature 377: 482-483; and Weigel and Nilsson (1995) Nature 377: 482-500.
Homologous Genes Introduced into Transgenic Plants.
Homologous genes that may be derived from any plant, or from any source whether natural, synthetic, semi-synthetic or recombinant, and that share significant sequence identity or similarity to those provided by the present invention, may be introduced into plants, for example, crop plants, to confer desirable or improved traits. Consequently, transgenic plants may be produced that comprise a recombinant expression vector or cassette with a promoter operably linked to one or more sequences homologous to presently disclosed sequences. The promoter may be, for example, a plant or viral promoter.
The invention thus provides for methods for preparing transgenic plants, and for modifying plant traits. These methods include introducing into a plant a recombinant expression vector or cassette comprising a functional promoter operably linked to one or more sequences homologous to presently disclosed sequences. Plants and kits for producing these plants that result from the application of these methods are also encompassed by the present invention.
Transcription Factors of Interest for the Modification of Plant Traits
Currently, the existence of a series of maturity groups for different latitudes represents a major barrier to the introduction of new valuable traits. Any trait (e.g. disease resistance) has to be bred into each of the different maturity groups separately, a laborious and costly exercise. The availability of single strain, which could be grown at any latitude, would therefore greatly increase the potential for introducing new traits to crop species such as soybean and cotton.
For many of the specific effects, traits and utilities listed in Table 4 and Table 6 that may be conferred to plants, one or more transcription factor genes may be used to increase or decrease, advance or delay, or improve or prove deleterious to a given trait. Overexpressing or suppressing one or more genes can impart significant differences in production of plant products, such as different fatty acid ratios. For example, overexpression of G720 caused a plant to become more freezing tolerant, but knocking out the same transcription factor imparted greater susceptibility to freezing. Thus, suppressing a gene that causes a plant to be more sensitive to cold may improve a plant's tolerance of cold. More than one transcription factor gene may be introduced into a plant, either by transforming the plant with one or more vectors comprising two or more transcription factors, or by selective breeding of plants to yield hybrid crosses that comprise more than one introduced transcription factor.
A listing of specific effects and utilities that the presently disclosed transcription factor genes have on plants, as determined by direct observation and assay analysis, is provided in Table 4. Table 4 shows the polynucleotides identified by SEQ ID NO; Mendel Gene ID No. (GID); and if the polynucleotide was tested in a transgenic assay. The first column shows the polynucleotide SEQ ID NO; the second column shows the GID; the third column shows whether the gene was overexpressed (OE) or knocked out (KO) in plant studies; the fourth column shows the trait(s) resulting from the knock out or overexpression of the polynucleotide in the transgenic plant; the fifth column shows the category of the trait; and the sixth column (“Comment”), includes specific observations made with respect to the polynucleotide of the first column.

Examples of some of the utilities that may be desirable in plants, and that may be provided by transforming the plants with the presently disclosed sequences, are listed in Table 6. Many of the transcription factors listed in Table 6 may be operably linked with a specific promoter that causes the transcription factor to be expressed in response to environmental, tissue-specific or temporal signals. For example, G362 induces ectopic trichomes on flowers but also produces small plants. The former may be desirable to produce insect or herbivore resistance, or increased cotton yield, but the latter may be undesirable in that it may reduce biomass. However, by operably linking G362 with a flower-specific promoter, one may achieve the desirable benefits of the gene without affecting overall biomass to a significant degree. For examples of flower specific promoters, see Kaiser et al. (supra). For examples of other tissue-specific, temporal-specific or inducible promoters, see the above discussion under the heading “Vectors, Promoters, and Expression Systems”.

Detailed Description of Genes, Traits and Utilities that Affect Plant Characteristics

The following descriptions of traits and utilities associated with the present transcription factors offer a more comprehensive description than that provided in Table 6.
Abiotic Stress, General Considerations
Plant transcription factors can modulate gene expression, and, in turn, be modulated by the environmental experience of a plant. Significant alterations in a plant's environment invariably result in a change in the plant's transcription factor gene expression pattern. Altered transcription factor expression patterns generally result in phenotypic changes in the plant. Transcription factor gene product(s) in transgenic plants then differ(s) in amounts or proportions from that found in wild-type or non-transformed plants, and those transcription factors likely represent polypeptides that are used to alter the response to the environmental change. By way of example, it is well accepted in the art that analytical methods based on altered expression patterns may be used to screen for phenotypic changes in a plant far more effectively than can be achieved using traditional methods.
Abiotic Stress: Adult Stage Chilling.
Enhanced chilling tolerance may extend the effective growth range of chilling sensitive crop species by allowing earlier planting or later harvest. Improved chilling tolerance may be conferred by increased expression of glycerol-3-phosphate acetyltransferase in chloroplasts (see, for example, Wolter et al. (1992) et al. EMBO J. 4685-4692, and Murata et al. (1992) Nature 356: 710-713).
Chilling tolerance could also serve as a model for understanding how plants adapt to water deficit. Both chilling and water stress share similar signal transduction pathways and tolerance/adaptation mechanisms. For example, acclimation to chilling temperatures can be induced by water stress or treatment with abscisic acid. Genes induced by low temperature include dehydrins (or LEA proteins). Dehydrins are also induced by salinity, abscisic acid, water stress, and during the late stages of embryogenesis.
Another large impact of chilling occurs during post-harvest storage. For example, some fruits and vegetables do not store well at low temperatures (for example, bananas, avocados, melons, and tomatoes). The normal ripening process of the tomato is impaired if it is exposed to cool temperatures. Transcription factor genes conferring resistance to chilling temperatures, including G256, G664, and G1322 may thus enhance tolerance during post-harvest storage.
Abiotic Stress: Cold Germination.
Several of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes confer better germination and growth in cold conditions. For example, the improved germination in cold conditions seen with G256 and G664 indicates a role in regulation of cold responses by these genes and their equivalogs. These genes might be engineered to manipulate the response to low temperature stress. Genes that would allow germination and seedling vigor in the cold would have highly significant utility in allowing seeds to be planted earlier in the season with a high rate of survival. Transcription factor genes that confer better survival in cooler climates allow a grower to move up planting time in the spring and extend the growing season further into autumn for higher crop yields. Germination of seeds and survival at temperatures significantly below that of the mean temperature required for germination of seeds and survival of non-transformed plants would increase the potential range of a crop plant into regions in which it would otherwise fail to thrive.
Abiotic Stress: Freezing Tolerance and Osmotic Stress.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G47, G175, G188, G303, G325, G353, G489, G922, G926, G1069, G1089, G1452, G1820, G1852, G1930, G2053, G2140, G2153, G2379, G2701, G2719, G2789, G2839 and their equivalogs, that increase germination rate and/or growth under adverse osmotic conditions, could impact survival and yield of seeds and plants. Osmotic stresses may be regulated by specific molecular control mechanisms that include genes controlling water and ion movements, functional and structural stress-induced proteins, signal perception and transduction, and free radical scavenging, and many others (Wang et al. (2001) Acta Hort. (ISHS) 560: 285-292). Instigators of osmotic stress include freezing, drought and high salinity, each of which are discussed in more detail below.
In many ways, freezing, high salt and drought have similar effects on plants, not the least of which is the induction of common polypeptides that respond to these different stresses. For example, freezing is similar to water deficit in that freezing reduces the amount of water available to a plant. Exposure to freezing temperatures may lead to cellular dehydration as water leaves cells and forms ice crystals in intercellular spaces (Buchanan, supra). As with high salt concentration and freezing, the problems for plants caused by low water availability include mechanical stresses caused by the withdrawal of cellular water. Thus, the incorporation of transcription factors that modify a plant's response to osmotic stress or improve tolerance to (e.g., by G720, G912, G913 or their equivalogs) into, for example, a crop or ornamental plant, may be useful in reducing damage or loss. Specific effects caused by freezing, high salt and drought are addressed below.
Abiotic Stress: Drought and Low Humidity Tolerance.
Exposure to dehydration invokes similar survival strategies in plants as does freezing stress (see, for example, Yelenosky (1989) Plant Physiol 89: 444-451) and drought stress induces freezing tolerance (see, for example, Siminovitch et al. (1982) Plant Physiol 69: 250-255; and Guy et al. (1992) Planta 188: 265-270). In addition to the induction of cold-acclimation proteins, strategies that allow plants to survive in low water conditions may include, for example, reduced surface area, or surface oil or wax production. A number of presently disclosed transcription factor genes, e.g., G912, G913, G1820, G1836 and G2505 increase a plant's tolerance to low water conditions and, along with their functional equivalogs, would provide the benefits of improved survival, increased yield and an extended geographic and temporal planting range.
Abiotic Stress: Heat Stress Tolerance.
The germination of many crops is also sensitive to high temperatures. Presently disclosed transcription factor genes that provide increased heat tolerance, including G464, G682, G864, G1305, G1841, G2130, G2430 and their equivalogs, would be generally useful in producing plants that germinate and grow in hot conditions, may find particular use for crops that are planted late in the season, or extend the range of a plant by allowing growth in relatively hot climates.
Abiotic Stress: Salt.
The genes in Table 6 that provide tolerance to salt may be used to engineer salt tolerant crops and trees that can flourish in soils with high saline content or under drought conditions. In particular, increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a plant enhances survival and yield. Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G22, G196, G226, G312, G482, G801, G867, G922, G1836, G2110, and their equivalogs that provide increased salt tolerance during germination, the seedling stage, and throughout a plant's life cycle, would find particular value for imparting survival and yield in areas where a particular crop would not normally prosper.
Nutrient Uptake and Utilization: Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes introduced into plants provide a means to improve uptake of essential nutrients, including nitrogenous compounds, phosphates, potassium, and trace minerals. The enhanced performance of, for example, G225, G226, G839, G1792, and other overexpressing lines under low nitrogen, and G545, G561, G911, G1946 under low phosphorous conditions indicate that these genes and their equivalogs can be used to engineer crops that could thrive under conditions of reduced nutrient availability. Phosphorus, in particular, tends to be a limiting nutrient in soils and is generally added as a component in fertilizers. Young plants have a rapid intake of phosphate and sufficient phosphate is important for yield of root crops such as carrot, potato and parsnip.
The effect of these modifications is to increase the seedling germination and range of ornamental and crop plants. The utilities of presently disclosed transcription factor genes conferring tolerance to conditions of low nutrients also include cost savings to the grower by reducing the amounts of fertilizer needed, environmental benefits of reduced fertilizer runoff into watersheds; and improved yield and stress tolerance. In addition, by providing improved nitrogen uptake capability, these genes can be used to alter seed protein amounts and/or composition in such a way that could impact yield as well as the nutritional value and production of various food products.
A number of the transcription factor-overexpressing lines make less anthocyanin on high sucrose plus glutamine indicates that these genes can be used to modify carbon and nitrogen status, and hence assimilate partitioning (assimilate partitioning refers to the manner in which an essential element, such as nitrogen, is distributed among different pools inside a plant, generally in a reduced form, for the purpose of transport to various tissues).
Increased Tolerance of Plants to Oxidative Stress.
In plants, as in all living things, abiotic and biotic stresses induce the formation of oxygen radicals, including superoxide and peroxide radicals. This has the effect of accelerating senescence, particularly in leaves, with the resulting loss of yield and adverse effect on appearance. Generally, plants that have the highest level of defense mechanisms, such as, for example, polyunsaturated moieties of membrane lipids, are most likely to thrive under conditions that introduce oxidative stress (e.g., high light, ozone, water deficit, particularly in combination). Introduction of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G477 and its equivalogs, that increase the level of oxidative stress defense mechanisms would provide beneficial effects on the yield and appearance of plants. One specific oxidizing agent, ozone, has been shown to cause significant foliar injury, which impacts yield and appearance of crop and ornamental plants. In addition to reduced foliar injury that would be found in ozone resistant plant created by transforming plants with some of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes, the latter have also been shown to have increased chlorophyll fluorescence (Yu-Sen Chang et al. (2001) Bot. Bull. Acad. Sin. 42: 265-272).
Decreased Herbicide Sensitivity.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G343, G2133, G2517 and their equivalogs, that confer resistance or tolerance to herbicides (e.g., glyphosate) will find use in providing means to increase herbicide applications without detriment to desirable plants. This would allow for the increased use of a particular herbicide in a local environment, with the effect of increased detriment to undesirable species and less harm to transgenic, desirable cultivars.
Knockouts of a number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes have been shown to be lethal to developing embryos. Thus, these genes are potentially useful as herbicide targets.
Hormone Sensitivity.
ABA plays regulatory roles in a host of physiological processes in all higher as well as in lower plants (Davies et al. (1991) Abscisic Acid: Physiology and Biochemistry. Bios Scientific Publishers, Oxford, UK; Zeevaart et al. (1988) Ann Rev Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 49: 439-473; Shimizu-Sato et al. (2001) Plant Physiol 127: 1405-1413). ABA mediates stress tolerance responses in higher plants, is a key signal compound that regulates stomatal aperture and, in concert with other plant signaling compounds, is implicated in mediating responses to pathogens and wounding or oxidative damage (for example, see Larkindale et al. (2002) Plant Physiol. 128: 682-695). In seeds, ABA promotes seed development, embryo maturation, synthesis of storage products (proteins and lipids), desiccation tolerance, and is involved in maintenance of dormancy (inhibition of germination), and apoptosis (Zeevaart et al. (1988) Ann Rev Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 49: 439-473; Davies (1991), supra; Thomas (1993) Plant Cell 5: 1401-1410; and Bethke et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11: 1033-1046). ABA also affects plant architecture, including root growth and morphology and root-to-shoot ratios. ABA action and metabolism is modulated not only by environmental signals but also by endogenous signals generated by metabolic feedback, transport, hormonal cross-talk and developmental stage. Manipulation of ABA levels, and hence by extension the sensitivity to ABA, has been described as a very promising means to improve productivity, performance and architecture in plants Zeevaart (1999) in: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Plant Hormones, Hooykaas et al. eds, Elsevier Science pp 189-207; and Cutler et al. (1999) Trends Plant Sci. 4: 472-478).
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes affect plant abscisic acid (ABA) sensitivity, including G546, G926, 1069, G1357, G1452, G1820, G2140, G2789. Thus, by affecting ABA sensitivity, these introduced transcription factor genes and their equivalogs would affect cold, drought, oxidative and other stress sensitivities, plant architecture, and yield.
Several other of the present transcription factor genes have been used to manipulate ethylene signal transduction and response pathways. These genes can thus be used to manipulate the processes influenced by ethylene, such as seed germination or fruit ripening, and to improve seed or fruit quality.
Diseases, Pathogens and Pests.
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes have been shown to or are likely to affect a plants response to various plant diseases, pathogens and pests. The offending organisms include fungal pathogens Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Erysiphe orontii. Bacterial pathogens to which resistance may be conferred include Pseudomonas syringae. Other problem organisms may potentially include nematodes, mollicutes, parasites, or herbivorous arthropods. In each case, one or more transformed transcription factor genes may provide some benefit to the plant to help prevent or overcome infestation, or be used to manipulate any of the various plant responses to disease. These mechanisms by which the transcription factors work could include increasing surface waxes or oils, surface thickness, or the activation of signal transduction pathways that regulate plant defense in response to attacks by herbivorous pests (including, for example, protease inhibitors). Another means to combat fungal and other pathogens is by accelerating local cell death or senescence, mechanisms used to impair the spread of pathogenic microorganisms throughout a plant. For instance, the best known example of accelerated cell death is the resistance gene-mediated hypersensitive response, which causes localized cell death at an infection site and initiates a systemic defense response. Because many defenses, signaling molecules, and signal transduction pathways are common to defense against different pathogens and pests, such as fungal, bacterial, oomycete, nematode, and insect, transcription factors that are implicated in defense responses against the fungal pathogens tested may also function in defense against other pathogens and pests. These transcription factors include, for example, G28, G1792, G1880, G1919, G1950 (improved resistance or tolerance to Botrytis), G1047, G1792 (improved resistance or tolerance to Fusarium), G19, G28, G409, G1266, G1363, G1792 (improved resistance or tolerance to Erysiphe), G545 (improved resistance or tolerance to Pseudomonas), G28, G1927 (improved resistance or tolerance to Sclerotinia), and their equivalogs.
Growth Regulator: Sugar Sensing.
In addition to their important role as an energy source and structural component of the plant cell, sugars are central regulatory molecules that control several aspects of plant physiology, metabolism and development (Hsieh et al. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 95: 13965-13970). It is thought that this control is achieved by regulating gene expression and, in higher plants, sugars have been shown to repress or activate plant genes involved in many essential processes such as photosynthesis, glyoxylate metabolism, respiration, starch and sucrose synthesis and degradation, pathogen response, wounding response, cell cycle regulation, pigmentation, flowering and senescence. The mechanisms by which sugars control gene expression are not understood.
Because sugars are important signaling molecules, the ability to control either the concentration of a signaling sugar or how the plant perceives or responds to a signaling sugar could be used to control plant development, physiology or metabolism. For example, the flux of sucrose (a disaccharide sugar used for systemically transporting carbon and energy in most plants) has been shown to affect gene expression and alter storage compound accumulation in seeds. Manipulation of the sucrose signaling pathway in seeds may therefore cause seeds to have more protein, oil or carbohydrate, depending on the type of manipulation. Similarly, in tubers, sucrose is converted to starch which is used as an energy store. It is thought that sugar signaling pathways may partially determine the levels of starch synthesized in the tubers. The manipulation of sugar signaling in tubers could lead to tubers with a higher starch content.
Thus, the presently disclosed transcription factor genes that manipulate the sugar signal transduction pathway, including G241, G254, G567, G680, G912, G1804, G481, G867, G1225, along with their equivalogs, may lead to altered gene expression to produce plants with desirable traits. In particular, manipulation of sugar signal transduction pathways could be used to alter source-sink relationships in seeds, tubers, roots and other storage organs leading to increase in yield.
Growth Regulator: C/N Sensing.
Nitrogen and carbon metabolism are tightly linked in almost every biochemical pathway in the plant. Carbon metabolites regulate genes involved in N acquisition and metabolism, and are known to affect germination and the expression of photosynthetic genes (Coruzzi et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 125: 61-64) and hence growth. Early studies on nitrate reductase (NR) in 1976 showed that NR activity could be affected by Glc/Suc (Crawford (1995) Plant Cell 7: 859-886; Daniel-Vedele et al. (1996) CR Acad Sci Paris 319: 961-968). Those observations were supported by later experiments that showed sugars induce NR mRNA in dark-adapted, green seedlings (Cheng C L, et al. (1992) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 89: 1861-1864). C and N may have antagonistic relationships as signaling molecules; light induction of NR activity and mRNA levels can be mimicked by C metabolites and N-metabolites cause repression of NR induction in tobacco (Vincentz et al. (1992) Plant J 3: 315-324). Gene regulation by C/N status has been demonstrated for a number of N-metabolic genes (Stitt (1999) Curr. Opin. Plant. Biol. 2: 178-186); Coruzzi et al. (2001) supra). Thus, transcription factor genes that affect C/N sensing, such as G1816, can be used to alter or improve germination and growth under nitrogen-limiting conditions.
Flowering Time: Early and Late Flowering.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes that accelerate flowering, which include G157, G180, G183, G485, G490, G590, G789, G1225, G1494, G1820, G1841, G1842, G1843, G1946, G2010, G2144, G2295, G2347, G2509, and their functional equivalogs, could have valuable applications in such programs, since they allow much faster generation times. In a number of species, for example, broccoli, cauliflower, where the reproductive parts of the plants constitute the crop and the vegetative tissues are discarded, it would be advantageous to accelerate time to flowering. Accelerating flowering could shorten crop and tree breeding programs. Additionally, in some instances, a faster generation time would allow additional harvests of a crop to be made within a given growing season. A number of Arabidopsis genes have already been shown to accelerate flowering when constitutively expressed. These include LEAFY, APETALA1 and CONSTANS (Mandel et al. (1995) Nature 377: 522-524; Weigel and Nilsson (1995) Nature 377: et al. 495-500; Simon et al. (1996) Nature 384: 59-62).
By regulating the expression of potential flowering using inducible promoters, flowering could be triggered by application of an inducer chemical. This would allow flowering to be synchronized across a crop and facilitate more efficient harvesting. Such inducible systems could also be used to tune the flowering of crop varieties to different latitudes. At present, species such as soybean and cotton are available as a series of maturity groups that are suitable for different latitudes on the basis of their flowering time (which is governed by day-length). A system in which flowering could be chemically controlled would allow a single high-yielding northern maturity group to be grown at any latitude. In southern regions such plants could be grown for longer periods before flowering was induced, thereby increasing yields. In more northern areas, the induction would be used to ensure that the crop flowers prior to the first winter frosts.
In a sizeable number of species, for example, root crops, where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues are discarded, it is advantageous to identify and incorporate transcription factor genes that delay or prevent flowering in order to prevent resources being diverted into reproductive development. For example, G8, G47, G157, G192, G214, G231; G361, G362, G562, G736, G748, G859, G910, G913, G971, G1051, G1052, G1357, G1452, G1478, G1804, G1895, G1945, G2007, G2133, G2155, G2838 and equivalogs, delay flowering time in transgenic plants. Extending vegetative development with presently disclosed transcription factor genes could thus bring about large increases in yields. Prevention of flowering can help maximize vegetative yields and prevent escape of genetically modified organism (GMO) pollen.
Presently disclosed transcription factors that extend flowering time have utility in engineering plants with longer-lasting flowers for the horticulture industry, and for extending the time in which the plant is fertile.
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factors may extend flowering time, and delay flower abscission, which would have utility in engineering plants with longer-lasting flowers for the horticulture industry. This would provide a significant benefit to the ornamental industry, for both cut flowers and woody plant varieties (of, for example, maize), as well as have the potential to lengthen the fertile period of a plant, which could positively impact yield and breeding programs.
General Development and Morphology: Flower Structure and Inflorescence: Architecture, Altered Flower Organs, Reduced Fertility, Multiple Alterations, Aerial Rosettes, Branching, Internode Distance, Terminal Flowers and Phase Change.
Presently disclosed transgenic transcription factors such as G353; G354, G638; G779; G988; G1063; G1075; G1140; G1449; G1499; G2143; G2557, G2838, G2839 and their equivalogs, may be used to create plants with larger flowers or arrangements of flowers that are distinct from wild-type or non-transformed cultivars. This would likely have the most value for the ornamental horticulture industry, where larger flowers or interesting floral configurations are generally preferred and command the highest prices.
Flower structure may have advantageous or deleterious effects on fertility, and could be used, for example, to decrease fertility by the absence, reduction or screening of reproductive components. In fact, plants that overexpress a sizable number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes e.g., G470, G779, G988, G1075, G1140, G1499, G1947, G2143, G2557 and their functional equivalogs, possess reduced fertility; flowers are infertile and fail to yield seed. These could be desirable traits, as low fertility could be exploited to prevent or minimize the escape of the pollen of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment.
The alterations in shoot architecture seen in the lines transformed with G47, G1063, G1645, G2143, and their functional equivalogs indicates that these genes and their equivalogs can be used to manipulate inflorescence branching patterns. This could influence yield and offer the potential for more effective harvesting techniques. For example, a “self pruning” mutation of tomato results in a determinate growth pattern and facilitates mechanical harvesting (Pnueli et al. (2001) Plant Cell 13(12): 2687-702).
One interesting application for manipulation of flower structure, for example, by introduced transcription factors could be in the increased production of edible flowers or flower parts, including saffron, which is derived from the stigmas of Crocus sativus. 
Genes that later silique conformation in brassicates may be used to modify fruit ripening processes in brassicates and other plants, which may positively affect seed or fruit quality.
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factors may affect the timing of phase changes in plants. Since the timing or phase changes generally affects a plant's eventual size, these genes may prove beneficial by providing means for improving yield and biomass.
General Development and Morphology: Shoot Meristem and Branching Patterns.
Several of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G390 and G391, and G1794, when introduced into plants, have been shown to cause stem bifurcations in developing shoots in which the shoot meristems split to form two or three separate shoots. These transcription factors and their functional equivalogs may thus be used to manipulate branching. This would provide a unique appearance, which may be desirable in ornamental applications, and may be used to modify lateral branching for use in the forestry industry. A reduction in the formation of lateral branches could reduce knot formation. Conversely, increasing the number of lateral branches could provide utility when a plant is used as a view- or windscreen.
General Development and Morphology: Apical Dominance:
The modified expression of presently disclosed transcription factors (e.g., G47, G211, G1255, G1275, G1411, G1488, G1794, G2509 and their equivalogs) that reduce apical dominance could be used in ornamental horticulture, for example, to modify plant architecture, for example, to produce a shorter, more bushy stature than wild type. The latter form would have ornamental utility as well as provide increased resistance to lodging.
General Development and Morphology: Trichome Density, Development or Structure.
Several of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes have been used to modify trichome number, density, trichome cell fate, amount of trichome products produced by plants, or produce ectopic trichome formation. These include G225; G226, G247; G362, G370; G585, G634, G676, G682, G1332, G1452, G1995, G2826, and G2838. In most cases where the metabolic pathways are impossible to engineer, increasing trichome density or size on leaves may be the only way to increase plant productivity. Thus, by increasing trichome density, size or type, these trichome-affecting genes and their functional equivalogs would have profound utilities in molecular farming practices by making use of trichomes as a manufacturing system for complex secondary metabolites.
Trichome glands on the surface of many higher plants produce and secrete exudates that give protection from the elements and pests such as insects, microbes and herbivores. These exudates may physically immobilize insects and spores, may be insecticidal or ant-microbial or they may act as allergens or irritants to protect against herbivores. By modifying trichome location, density or activity with presently disclosed transcription factors that modify these plant characteristics, plants that are better protected and higher yielding may be the result.
A potential application for these trichome-affecting genes and their equivalogs also exists in cotton: cotton fibers are modified unicellular trichomes that develop from the outer ovule epidermis. In fact, only about 30% of these epidermal cells develop into trichomes, but all have the potential to develop a trichome fate. Trichome-affecting genes can trigger an increased number of these cells to develop as trichomes and thereby increase the yield of cotton fibers. Since the mallow family is closely related to the Brassica family, genes involved in trichome formation will likely have homologs in cotton or function in cotton.
If the effects on trichome patterning reflect a general change in heterochronic processes, trichome-affecting transcription factors or their equivalogs can be used to modify the way meristems and/or cells develop during different phases of the plant life cycle. In particular, altering the timing of phase changes could afford positive effects on yield and biomass production.
General Development and Morphology: Stem Morphology and Altered Vascular Tissue Structure.
Plants transformed with transcription factor genes that modify stem morphology or lignin content may be used to affect overall plant architecture and the distribution of lignified fiber cells within the stem.
Modulating lignin content might allow the quality of wood used for furniture or construction to be improved. Lignin is energy rich; increasing lignin composition could therefore be valuable in raising the energy content of wood used for fuel. Conversely, the pulp and paper industries seek wood with a reduced lignin content. Currently, lignin must be removed in a costly process that involves the use of many polluting chemicals. Consequently, lignin is a serious barrier to efficient pulp and paper production (Tzfira et al. (1998) TIBTECH 16: 439-446; Robinson (1999) Nature Biotechnology 17: 27-30). In addition to forest biotechnology applications, changing lignin content by selectively expressing or repressing transcription factors in fruits and vegetables might increase their palatability.
Transcription factors that modify stem structure, including G47, G438, G748, G988, G1488 and their equivalogs, may also be used to achieve reduction of higher-order shoot development, resulting in significant plant architecture modification. Overexpression of the genes that encode these transcription factors in woody plants might result in trees that lack side branches, and have fewer knots in the wood. Altering branching patterns could also have applications amongst ornamental and agricultural crops. For example, applications might exist in any species where secondary shoots currently have to be removed manually, or where changes in branching pattern could increase yield or facilitate more efficient harvesting.
General Development and Morphology: Altered Root Development.
By modifying the structure or development of roots by transforming into a plant one or more of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G225, G226, G1482, and their equivalogs, plants may be produced that have the capacity to thrive in otherwise unproductive soils. For example, grape roots extending further into rocky soils would provide greater anchorage, greater coverage with increased branching, or would remain viable in waterlogged soils, thus increasing the effective planting range of the crop and/or increasing yield and survival. It may be advantageous to manipulate a plant to produce short roots, as when a soil in which the plant will be growing is occasionally flooded, or when pathogenic fungi or disease-causing nematodes are prevalent.
General Development and Morphology: Seed Development, Ripening and Germination Rate.
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes (e.g., G979) have been shown to modify seed development and germination rate, including when the seeds are in conditions normally unfavorable for germination (e.g., cold, heat or salt stress, or in the presence of ABA), and may, along with functional equivalogs, thus be used to modify and improve germination rates under adverse conditions.
General Development and Morphology: Cell Differentiation and Cell Proliferation.
Several of the disclosed transcription factors regulate cell proliferation and/or differentiation, including G1540 and its functional equivalogs. Control of these processes could have valuable applications in plant transformation, cell culture or micro-propagation systems, as well as in control of the proliferation of particular useful tissues or cell types. Transcription factors that induce the proliferation of undifferentiated cells can be operably linked with an inducible promoter to promote the formation of callus that can be used for transformation or production of cell suspension cultures. Transcription factors that prevent cells from differentiating, such as G1540 or its equivalogs, could be used to confer stem cell identity to cultured cells. Transcription factors that promote differentiation of shoots could be used in transformation or micro-propagation systems, where regeneration of shoots from callus is currently problematic. In addition, transcription factors that regulate the differentiation of specific tissues could be used to increase the proportion of these tissues in a plant. Genes that promote the differentiation of carpel tissue could be introduced into commercial species to induce formation of increased numbers of carpels or fruits. A particular application might exist in saffron, one of the world's most expensive spices. Saffron filaments, or threads, are actually the dried stigmas of the saffron flower, Crocus sativus Linneaus. Each flower contains only three stigmas, and more than 75,000 of these flowers are needed to produce just one pound of saffron filaments. An increase in carpel number would increase the quantity of stigmatic tissue and improve yield.
General Development and Morphology: Cell Expansion.
Plant growth results from a combination of cell division and cell expansion. Transcription factors may be useful in regulation of cell expansion. Altered regulation of cell expansion could affect stem length, an important agronomic characteristic. For instance, short cultivars of wheat contributed to the Green Revolution, because plants that put fewer resources into stem elongation allocate more resources into developing seed and produce higher yield. These plants are also less vulnerable to wind and rain damage. These cultivars were found to be altered in their sensitivity to gibberellins, hormones that regulate stem elongation through control of both cell expansion and cell division. Altered cell expansion in leaves could also produce novel and ornamental plant forms.
General Development and Morphology: Phase Change and Floral Reversion.
Transcription factors that regulate phase change can modulate the developmental programs of plants and regulate developmental plasticity of the shoot meristem. In particular, these genes might be used to manipulate seasonality and influence whether plants display an annual or perennial habit.
General Development and Morphology: Rapid Development.
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G2430, have been shown to have significant effects on plant growth rate and development. These observations have included, for example, more rapid or delayed growth and development of reproductive organs. Thus, by causing more rapid development, G2430 and its functional equivalogs would prove useful for regions with short growing seasons; other transcription factors that delay development may be useful for regions with longer growing seasons. Accelerating plant growth would also improve early yield or increase biomass at an earlier stage, when such is desirable (for example, in producing forestry products or vegetable sprouts for consumption). Transcription factors that promote faster development such as G2430 and its functional equivalogs may also be used to modify the reproductive cycle of plants.
General Development and Morphology: Slow Growth Rate.
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G652 and G1335, have been shown to have significant effects on retarding plant growth rate and development. These observations have included, for example, delayed growth and development of reproductive organs. Slow growing plants may be highly desirable to ornamental horticulturists, both for providing house plants that display little change in their appearance over time, or outdoor plants for which wild-type or rapid growth is undesirable (e.g., ornamental palm trees). Slow growth may also provide for a prolonged fruiting period, thus extending the harvesting season, particularly in regions with long growing seasons. Slow growth could also provide a prolonged period in which pollen is available for improved self- or cross-fertilization, or cross-fertilization of cultivars that normally flower over non-overlapping time periods. The latter aspect may be particularly useful to plants comprising two or more distinct grafted cultivars (e.g., fruit trees) with normally non-overlapping flowering periods.
General Development and Morphology: Senescence.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes may be used to alter senescence responses in plants. Although leaf senescence is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation to recycle nutrients, the ability to control senescence in an agricultural setting has significant value. For example, a delay in leaf senescence in some maize hybrids is associated with a significant increase in yields and a delay of a few days in the senescence of soybean plants can have a large impact on yield. In an experimental setting, tobacco plants engineered to inhibit leaf senescence had a longer photosynthetic lifespan, and produced a 50% increase in dry weight and seed yield (Gan and Amasino (1995) Science 270: 1986-1988). Delayed flower senescence caused by overexpression of transcription factors may generate plants that retain their blossoms longer and this may be of potential interest to the ornamental horticulture industry, and delayed foliar and fruit senescence could improve post-harvest shelf-life of produce.
Premature senescence caused by, for example, G636, G1463, G1944 and their equivalogs may be used to improve a plant's response to disease and hasten fruit ripening.
Growth Rate and Development: Lethality and Necrosis.
Overexpression of transcription factors, for example, G12, G24, G877, G1519 and their equivalogs that have a role in regulating cell death may be used to induce lethality in specific tissues or necrosis in response to pathogen attack. For example, if a transcription factor gene inducing lethality or necrosis was specifically active in gametes or reproductive organs, its expression in these tissues would lead to ablation and subsequent male or female sterility. Alternatively, under pathogen-regulated expression, a necrosis-inducing transcription factor can restrict the spread of a pathogen infection through a plant.
Plant Size: Large Plants.
Plants overexpressing G1073 and G1451, for example, have been shown to be larger than controls. For some ornamental plants, the ability to provide larger varieties with these genes or their equivalogs may be highly desirable. For many plants, including fruit-bearing trees, trees that are used for lumber production, or trees and shrubs that serve as view or wind screens, increased stature provides improved benefits in the forms of greater yield or improved screening. Crop species may also produce higher yields on larger cultivars, particularly those in which the vegetative portion of the plant is edible.
Plant Size: Large Seedlings.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, that produce large seedlings can be used to produce crops that become established faster. Large seedlings are generally hardier, less vulnerable to stress, and better able to out-compete weed species. Seedlings transformed with presently disclosed transcription factors, including G2346 and G2838, for example, have been shown to possess larger cotyledons and were more developmentally advanced than control plants. Rapid seedling development made possible by manipulating expression of these genes or their equivalogs is likely to reduce loss due to diseases particularly prevalent at the seedling stage (e.g., damping off) and is thus important for survivability of plants germinating in the field or in controlled environments.
Plant Size: Dwarfed Plants.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G24; G343, G353, G354, G362, G370; G1008, G1277, G1543, G1794, G1958 and their equivalogs, for example, that can be used to decrease plant stature are likely to produce plants that are more resistant to damage by wind and rain, have improved lodging resistance, or more resistant to heat or low humidity or water deficit. Dwarf plants are also of significant interest to the ornamental horticulture industry, and particularly for home garden applications for which space availability may be limited.
Plant Size: Fruit Size and Number.
Introduction of presently disclosed transcription factor genes that affect fruit size will have desirable impacts on fruit size and number, which may comprise increases in yield for fruit crops, or reduced fruit yield, such as when vegetative growth is preferred (e.g., with bushy ornamentals, or where fruit is undesirable, as with ornamental olive trees).
Leaf Morphology: Dark Leaves.
Color-affecting components in leaves include chlorophylls (generally green), anthocyanins (generally red to blue) and carotenoids (generally yellow to red). Transcription factor genes that increase these pigments in leaves, including G674, G912, G1063, G1357, G1452, G1482, G1499, G1792, G1863, G1888, G2143, G2557, G2838 and their equivalogs, may positively affect a plant's value to the ornamental horticulture industry. Variegated varieties, in particular, would show improved contrast. Other uses that result from overexpression of transcription factor genes include improvements in the nutritional value of foodstuffs. For example, lutein is an important nutraceutical; lutein-rich diets have been shown to help prevent age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the leading cause of blindness in elderly people. Consumption of dark green leafy vegetables has been shown in clinical studies to reduce the risk of ARMD.
Enhanced chlorophyll and carotenoid levels could also improve yield in crop plants. Lutein, like other xanthophylls such as zeaxanthin and violaxanthin, is an essential component in the protection of the plant against the damaging effects of excessive light. Specifically, lutein contributes, directly or indirectly, to the rapid rise of non-photochemical quenching in plants exposed to high light. Crop plants engineered to contain higher levels of lutein could therefore have improved photo-protection, leading to less oxidative damage and better growth under high light (e.g., during long summer days, or at higher altitudes or lower latitudes than those at which a non-transformed plant would survive). Additionally, elevated chlorophyll levels increases photosynthetic capacity.
Leaf Morphology: Changes in Leaf Shape.
Presently disclosed transcription factors produce marked and diverse effects on leaf development and shape. The transcription factors include G211, G353, G674, G736, G1063, G1146, G1357, G1452, G1494, G1543, G1863, G2143, G2144, and their equivalogs. At early stages of growth, transgenic seedlings have developed narrow, upward pointing leaves with long petioles, possibly indicating a disruption in circadian-clock controlled processes or nyctinastic movements. Other transcription factor genes can be used to alter leaf shape in a significant manner from wild type, some of which may find use in ornamental applications.
Leaf Morphology: Altered Leaf Size.
Large leaves, such as those produced in plants overexpressing G189, G1451, G2430 and their functional equivalogs, generally increase plant biomass. This provides benefit for crops where the vegetative portion of the plant is the marketable portion.
Leaf Morphology: Light Green and Variegated Leaves.
Transcription factor genes such as G635, G1494, G2144 and their equivalogs that provide an altered appearance may positively affect a plant's value to the ornamental horticulture industry.
Leaf Morphology: Glossy Leaves.
Transcription factor genes such as G30, G1792, G2583 and their equivalogs that induce the formation of glossy leaves generally do so by elevating levels of epidermal wax. Thus, the genes could be used to engineer changes in the composition and amount of leaf surface components, including waxes. The ability to manipulate wax composition, amount, or distribution could modify plant tolerance to drought and low humidity, or resistance to insects or pathogens. Additionally, wax may be a valuable commodity in some species, and altering its accumulation and/or composition could enhance yield.
Seed Morphology: Altered Seed Coloration.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G156, G2105, G2085 have also been used to modify seed color, which, along with the equivalogs of these genes, could provide added appeal to seeds or seed products.
Seed Morphology: Altered Seed Size and Shape.
The introduction of presently disclosed transcription factor genes into plants that increase (e.g., G450; G584; G1255; G2085; G2105; G2114) or decrease (e.g., G1040). The size of seeds may have a significant impact on yield and appearance, particularly when the product is the seed itself (e.g., in the case of grains, legumes, nuts, etc.). Seed size, in addition to seed coat integrity, thickness and permeability, seed water content and a number of other components including antioxidants and oligosaccharides, also affects affect seed longevity in storage, with larger seeds often being more desirable for prolonged storage.
Transcription factor genes that alter seed shape, including G1040, G1062, G1255 and their equivalogs may have both ornamental applications and improve or broaden the appeal of seed products.
Leaf Biochemistry: Increased Leaf Wax.
Overexpression of transcription factors genes, including G975, G1792 and G2085 and their equivalogs, which results in increased leaf wax could be used to manipulate wax composition, amount, or distribution. These transcription factors can improve yield in those plants and crops from which wax is a valuable product. The genes may also be used to modify plant tolerance to drought and/or low humidity or resistance to insects, as well as plant appearance (glossy leaves). The effect of increased wax deposition on leaves of a plant like may improve water use efficiency. Manipulation of these genes may reduce the wax coating on sunflower seeds; this wax fouls the oil extraction system during sunflower seed processing for oil. For the latter purpose or any other where wax reduction is valuable, antisense or cosuppression of the transcription factor genes in a tissue-specific manner would be valuable.
Leaf Biochemistry: Leaf Prenyl Lipids, Including Tocopherol.
Prenyl lipids play a role in anchoring proteins in membranes or membranous organelles. Thus modifying the prenyl lipid content of seeds and leaves could affect membrane integrity and function. One important group of prenyl lipids, the tocopherols, have both anti-oxidant and vitamin E activity. A number of presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G214, G652, G748, G987, G1543, and G2509, have been shown to modify the tocopherol composition of leaves in plants, and these genes and their equivalogs may thus be used to alter prenyl lipid content of leaves.
Leaf Biochemistry: Increased Leaf Insoluble Sugars.
Overexpression of a number of presently disclosed transcription factors, including G211, resulted in plants with altered leaf insoluble sugar content. This transcription factor and its equivalogs that alter plant cell wall composition have several potential applications including altering food digestibility, plant tensile strength, wood quality, pathogen resistance and in pulp production. In particular, hemicellulose is not desirable in paper pulps because of its lack of strength compared with cellulose. Thus modulating the amounts of cellulose vs. hemicellulose in the plant cell wall is desirable for the paper/lumber industry. Increasing the insoluble carbohydrate content in various fruits, vegetables, and other edible consumer products will result in enhanced fiber content. Increased fiber content would not only provide health benefits in food products, but might also increase digestibility of forage crops. In addition, the hemicellulose and pectin content of fruits and berries affects the quality of jam and catsup made from them. Changes in hemicellulose and pectin content could result in a superior consumer product.
Leaf Biochemistry: Increased Leaf Anthocyanin.
Several presently disclosed transcription factor genes may be used to alter anthocyanin production in numerous plant species. Expression of presently disclosed transcription factor genes that increase flavonoid production in plants, including anthocyanins and condensed tannins, may be used to alter in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly increasing stress resistance. G362, G663, G1482 and G1888 or their equivalogs, for example, could be used to alter anthocyanin production or accumulation. A number of flavonoids have been shown to have antimicrobial activity and could be used to engineer pathogen resistance. Several flavonoid compounds have health promoting effects such as inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of bone loss and prevention of the oxidation of lipids. Increased levels of condensed tannins, in forage legumes would be an important agronomic trait because they prevent pasture bloat by collapsing protein foams within the rumen. For a review on the utilities of flavonoids and their derivatives, refer to Dixon et al. (1999) Trends Plant Sci. 4: 394-400.
Leaf and Seed Biochemistry: Altered Fatty Acid Content.
A number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes have been shown to alter the fatty acid composition in plants, and seeds and leaves in particular. This modification suggests several utilities, including improving the nutritional value of seeds or whole plants. Dietary fatty acids ratios have been shown to have an effect on, for example, bone integrity and remodeling (see, for example, Weiler (2000) Pediatr. Res. 47:5 692-697). The ratio of dietary fatty acids may alter the precursor pools of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that serve as precursors for prostaglandin synthesis. In mammalian connective tissue, prostaglandins serve as important signals regulating the balance between resorption and formation in bone and cartilage. Thus dietary fatty acid ratios altered in seeds may affect the etiology and outcome of bone loss.
Transcription factors that reduce leaf fatty acids, for example, 16:3 fatty acids, may be used to control thylakoid membrane development, including proplastid to chloroplast development. The genes that encode these transcription factors might thus be useful for controlling the transition from proplastid to chromoplast in fruits and vegetables. It may also be desirable to change the expression of these genes to prevent cotyledon greening in Brassica napus or B. campestris to avoid green oil due to early frost.
A number of transcription factor genes are involved in mediating an aspect of the regulatory response to temperature. These genes may be used to alter the expression of desaturases that lead to production of 18:3 and 16:3 fatty acids, the balance of which affects membrane fluidity and mitigates damage to cell membranes and photosynthetic structures at high and low temperatures.
Seed Biochemistry: Modified Seed Oil and Fatty Acid Content.
The composition of seeds, particularly with respect to seed oil amounts and/or composition, is very important for the nutritional and caloric value and production of various food and feed products. Several of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes in seed lipid saturation that alter seed oil content could be used to improve the heat stability of oils or to improve the nutritional quality of seed oil, by, for example, reducing the number of calories in seed by decreasing oil or fatty acid content (e.g., G180; G192; G241; G1229; G1323; G1543), increasing the number of calories in animal feeds by increasing oil or fatty acid content (e.g. G162; G291; G427; G590; G598; G629, G715; G849; G1198, G1471; G1526; G1640; G1646, G1750; G1777; G1793; G1838; G1902; G1946; G1948; G2123; G2138; G2830), altering seed oil content (G504; G509; G519; G561; G567; G892; G961; G974; G1143; G1226; G1451; G1478; G1496; G1672; G1677; G1765; G2509; G2343), or altering the ratio of saturated to unsaturated lipids comprising the oils (e.g. G869; G1417; G2192).
Seed Biochemistry: Modified Seed Protein Content.
As with seed oils, the composition of seeds, particularly with respect to protein amounts and/or composition, is very important for the nutritional value and production of various food and feed products. A number of the presently disclosed transcription factor genes modify the protein concentrations in seeds, including G162; G226; G1323; G1419; G1818, which increase seed protein, G427; G1777; G1903; G1946, which decrease seed protein, and G162; G241; G509; G567; G597; G849; G892; G988; G1478; G1634; G1637; G1652; G1677; G1820; G1958; G2509; G2117; G2509, which alter seed protein content, would provide nutritional benefits, and may be used to prolong storage, increase seed pest or disease resistance, or modify germination rates.
Seed Biochemistry: Seed Prenyl Lipids.
Prenyl lipids play a role in anchoring proteins in membranes or membranous organelles. Thus, modifying the prenyl lipid content of seeds and leaves could affect membrane integrity and function. A number of presently disclosed transcription factor genes have been shown to modify the tocopherol composition of plants. α-Tocopherol is better known as vitamin E. Tocopherols such as α- and γ-tocopherol both have anti-oxidant activity.
Seed Biochemistry: Seed Glucosinolates.
A number of glucosinolates have been shown to have anti-cancer activity; thus, increasing the levels or composition of these compounds by introducing several of the presently disclosed transcription factors, including G484 and G2340, can have a beneficial effect on human diet.
Glucosinolates are undesirable components of the oilseeds used in animal feed since they produce toxic effects. Low-glucosinolate varieties of canola, for example, have been developed to combat this problem. Glucosinolates form part of a plant's natural defense against insects. Modification of glucosinolate composition or quantity by introducing transcription factors that affect these characteristics can therefore afford increased protection from herbivores. Furthermore, in edible crops, tissue specific promoters can be used to ensure that these compounds accumulate specifically in tissues, such as the epidermis, which are not taken for consumption.
Seed Biochemistry: Increased Seed Anthocyanin.
Several presently disclosed transcription factor genes may be used to alter anthocyanin production in the seeds of plants. As with leaf anthocyanins, expression of presently disclosed transcription factor genes that increase flavonoid (anthocyanins and condensed tannins) production in seeds, including G663 and its equivalogs, may be used to alter in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly increasing stress resistance, antimicrobial activity and health promoting effects such as inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of bone loss and prevention of the oxidation of lipids.
Leaf and Seed Biochemistry: Production of Seed and Leaf Phytosterols:
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes that modify levels of phytosterols in plants may have at least two utilities. First, phytosterols are an important source of precursors for the manufacture of human steroid hormones. Thus, regulation of transcription factor expression or activity could lead to elevated levels of important human steroid precursors for steroid semi-synthesis. For example, transcription factors that cause elevated levels of campesterol in leaves, or sitosterols and stigmasterols in seed crops, would be useful for this purpose. Phytosterols and their hydrogenated derivatives phytostanols also have proven cholesterol-lowering properties, and transcription factor genes that modify the expression of these compounds in plants would thus provide health benefits.
Root Biochemistry: Increased Root Anthocyanin.
Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G663, may be used to alter anthocyanin production in the root of plants. As described above for seed anthocyanins, expression of presently disclosed transcription factor genes that increase flavonoid (anthocyanins and condensed tannins) production in seeds, including G663 and its equivalogs, may be used to alter in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly increasing stress resistance, antimicrobial activity and health promoting effects such as inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of bone loss and prevention of the oxidation of lipids.
Light Response/Shade Avoidance:
altered cotyledon, hypocotyl, petiole development, altered leaf orientation, constitutive photomorphogenesis, photomorphogenesis in low light. Presently disclosed transcription factor genes, including G183; G354; G1322; G1331; G1488; G1494; G1794; G2144; and G2555, that modify a plant's response to light may be useful for modifying plant growth or development, for example, photomorphogenesis in poor light, or accelerating flowering time in response to various light intensities, quality or duration to which a non-transformed plant would not similarly respond. Examples of such responses that have been demonstrated include leaf number and arrangement, and early flower bud appearances Elimination of shading responses may lead to increased planting densities with subsequent yield enhancement. As these genes may also alter plant architecture, they may find use in the ornamental horticulture industry.
Pigment: Increased Anthocyanin Level in Various Plant Organs and Tissues.
In addition to seed, leaves and roots, as mentioned above, several presently disclosed transcription factor genes can be used to alter anthocyanin levels in one or more tissues. The potential utilities of these genes include alterations in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly increasing stress resistance, antimicrobial activity and health promoting effects such as inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of bone loss and prevention of the oxidation of lipids.
Miscellaneous Biochemistry: Diterpenes in Leaves and Other Plant Parts.
Depending on the plant species, varying amounts of diverse secondary biochemicals (often lipophilic terpenes) are produced and exuded or volatilized by trichomes. These exotic secondary biochemicals, which are relatively easy to extract because they are on the surface of the leaf, have been widely used in such products as flavors and aromas, drugs, pesticides and cosmetics. Thus, the overexpression of genes that are used to produce diterpenes in plants may be accomplished by introducing transcription factor genes that induce said overexpression. One class of secondary metabolites, the diterpenes, can effect several biological systems such as tumor progression, prostaglandin synthesis and tissue inflammation. In addition, diterpenes can act as insect pheromones, termite allomones, and can exhibit neurotoxic, cytotoxic and antimitotic activities. As a result of this functional diversity, diterpenes have been the target of research several pharmaceutical ventures. In most cases where the metabolic pathways are impossible to engineer, increasing trichome density or size on leaves may be the only way to increase plant productivity.
Miscellaneous Biochemistry: Production of Miscellaneous Secondary Metabolites.
Microarray data suggests that flux through the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic pathways and primary and secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways are up-regulated. Presently disclosed transcription factors have been shown to be involved in regulating alkaloid biosynthesis, in part by up-regulating the enzymes indole-3-glycerol phosphatase and strictosidine synthase. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase, chalcone synthase and trans-cinnamate mono-oxygenase are also induced, and are involved in phenylpropenoid biosynthesis.
Antisense and Co-Suppression
In addition to expression of the nucleic acids of the invention as gene replacement or plant phenotype modification nucleic acids, the nucleic acids are also useful for sense and anti-sense suppression of expression, e.g., to down-regulate expression of a nucleic acid of the invention, e.g., as a further mechanism for modulating plant phenotype. That is, the nucleic acids of the invention, or subsequences or anti-sense sequences thereof, can be used to block expression of naturally occurring homologous nucleic acids. A variety of sense and anti-sense technologies are known in the art, e.g., as set forth in Lichtenstein and Nellen (1997) Antisense Technology: A Practical Approach IRL Press at Oxford University Press, Oxford, U.K. Antisense regulation is also described in Crowley et al. (1985) Cell 43: 633-641; Rosenberg et al. (1985) Nature 313: 703-706; Preiss et al. (1985) Nature 313: 27-32; Melton (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 82: 144-148; Izant and Weintraub (1985) Science 229: 345-352; and Kim and Wold (1985) Cell 42: 129-138. Additional methods for antisense regulation are known in the art. Antisense regulation has been used to reduce or inhibit expression of plant genes in, for example in European Patent Publication No. 271988. Antisense RNA may be used to reduce gene expression to produce a visible or biochemical phenotypic change in a plant (Smith et al. (1988) Nature, 334: 724-726; Smith et al. (1990) Plant Mol. Biol. 14: 369-379). In general, sense or anti-sense sequences are introduced into a cell, where they are optionally amplified, e.g., by transcription. Such sequences include both simple oligonucleotide sequences and catalytic sequences such as ribozymes.
For example, a reduction or elimination of expression (i.e., a “knock-out”) of a transcription factor or transcription factor homolog polypeptide in a transgenic plant, e.g., to modify a plant trait, can be obtained by introducing an antisense construct corresponding to the polypeptide of interest as a cDNA. For antisense suppression, the transcription factor or homolog cDNA is arranged in reverse orientation (with respect to the coding sequence) relative to the promoter sequence in the expression vector. The introduced sequence need not be the full length cDNA or gene, and need not be identical to the cDNA or gene found in the plant type to be transformed. Typically, the antisense sequence need only be capable of hybridizing to the target gene or RNA of interest. Thus, where the introduced sequence is of shorter length, a higher degree of homology to the endogenous transcription factor sequence will be needed for effective antisense suppression. While antisense sequences of various lengths can be utilized, preferably, the introduced antisense sequence in the vector will be at least 30 nucleotides in length, and improved antisense suppression will typically be observed as the length of the antisense sequence increases. Preferably, the length of the antisense sequence in the vector will be greater than 100 nucleotides. Transcription of an antisense construct as described results in the production of RNA molecules that are the reverse complement of mRNA molecules transcribed from the endogenous transcription factor gene in the plant cell.
Suppression of endogenous transcription factor gene expression can also be achieved using a ribozyme. Ribozymes are RNA molecules that possess highly specific endoribonuclease activity. The production and use of ribozymes are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,987,071 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,543,508. Synthetic ribozyme sequences including antisense RNAs can be used to confer RNA cleaving activity on the antisense RNA, such that endogenous mRNA molecules that hybridize to the antisense RNA are cleaved, which in turn leads to an enhanced antisense inhibition of endogenous gene expression.
Vectors in which RNA encoded by a transcription factor or transcription factor homolog cDNA is over-expressed can also be used to obtain co-suppression of a corresponding endogenous gene, e.g., in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,231,020 to Jorgensen. Such co-suppression (also termed sense suppression) does not require that the entire transcription factor cDNA be introduced into the plant cells, nor does it require that the introduced sequence be exactly identical to the endogenous transcription factor gene of interest. However, as with antisense suppression, the suppressive efficiency will be enhanced as specificity of hybridization is increased, e.g., as the introduced sequence is lengthened, and/or as the sequence similarity between the introduced sequence and the endogenous transcription factor gene is increased.
Vectors expressing an untranslatable form of the transcription factor mRNA, e.g., sequences comprising one or more stop codon, or nonsense mutation) can also be used to suppress expression of an endogenous transcription factor, thereby reducing or eliminating its activity and modifying one or more traits. Methods for producing such constructs are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,583,021. Preferably, such constructs are made by introducing a premature stop codon into the transcription factor gene. Alternatively, a plant trait can be modified by gene silencing using double-strand RNA (Sharp (1999) Genes and Development 13: 139-141). Another method for abolishing the expression of a gene is by insertion mutagenesis using the T-DNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. After generating the insertion mutants, the mutants can be screened to identify those containing the insertion in a transcription factor or transcription factor homolog gene. Plants containing a single transgene insertion event at the desired gene can be crossed to generate homozygous plants for the mutation. Such methods are well known to those of skill in the art (See for example Koncz et al. (1992) Methods in Arabidopsis Research, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd., River Edge, N.J.).
Alternatively, a plant phenotype can be altered by eliminating an endogenous gene, such as a transcription factor or transcription factor homolog, e.g., by homologous recombination (Kempin et al. (1997) Nature 389: 802-803).
A plant trait can also be modified by using the Cre-lox system (for example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,658,772). A plant genome can be modified to include first and second lox sites that are then contacted with a Cre recombinase. If the lox sites are in the same orientation, the intervening DNA sequence between the two sites is excised. If the lox sites are in the opposite orientation, the intervening sequence is inverted.
The polynucleotides and polypeptides of this invention can also be expressed in a plant in the absence of an expression cassette by manipulating the activity or expression level of the endogenous gene by other means, such as, for example, by ectopically expressing a gene by T-DNA activation tagging (Ichikawa et al. (1997) Nature 390 698-701; Kakimoto et al. (1996) Science 274: 982-985). This method entails transforming a plant with a gene tag containing multiple transcriptional enhancers and once the tag has inserted into the genome, expression of a flanking gene coding sequence becomes deregulated. In another example, the transcriptional machinery in a plant can be modified so as to increase transcription levels of a polynucleotide of the invention (See, e.g., PCT Publications WO 96/06166 and WO 98/53057 which describe the modification of the DNA-binding specificity of zinc finger proteins by changing particular amino acids in the DNA-binding motif).
The transgenic plant can also include the machinery necessary for expressing or altering the activity of a polypeptide encoded by an endogenous gene, for example, by altering the phosphorylation state of the polypeptide to maintain it in an activated state.
Transgenic plants (or plant cells, or plant explants, or plant tissues) incorporating the polynucleotides of the invention and/or expressing the polypeptides of the invention can be produced by a variety of well established techniques as described above. Following construction of a vector, most typically an expression cassette, including a polynucleotide, e.g., encoding a transcription factor or transcription factor homolog, of the invention, standard techniques can be used to introduce the polynucleotide into a plant, a plant cell, a plant explant or a plant tissue of interest. Optionally, the plant cell, explant or tissue can be regenerated to produce a transgenic plant.
The plant can be any higher plant, including gymnosperms, monocotyledonous and dicotyledenous plants. Suitable protocols are available for Leguminosae (alfalfa, soybean, clover, etc.), Umbelliferae (carrot, celery, parsnip), Cruciferae (cabbage, radish, rapeseed, broccoli, etc.), Curcurbitaceae (melons and cucumber), Gramineae (wheat, corn, rice, barley, millet, etc.), Solanaceae (potato, tomato, tobacco, peppers, etc.), and various other crops. See protocols described in Ammirato et al., Eds., (1984) Handbook of Plant Cell Culture—Crop Species, Macmillan Publ. Co., New York, N.Y.; Shimamoto et al. (1989) Nature 338: 274-276; Fromm et al. (1990) Bio/Technol. 8: 833-839; and Vasil et al. (1990) Bio/Technol. 8: 429-434.
Transformation and regeneration of both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plant cells is now routine, and the selection of the most appropriate transformation technique will be determined by the practitioner. The choice of method will vary with the type of plant to be transformed; those skilled in the art will recognize the suitability of particular methods for given plant types. Suitable methods can include, but are not limited to: electroporation of plant protoplasts; liposome-mediated transformation; polyethylene glycol (PEG) mediated transformation; transformation using viruses; micro-injection of plant cells; micro-projectile bombardment of plant cells; vacuum infiltration; and Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation. Transformation means introducing a nucleotide sequence into a plant in a manner to cause stable or transient expression of the sequence.
Successful examples of the modification of plant characteristics by transformation with cloned sequences which serve to illustrate the current knowledge in this field of technology, and which are herein incorporated by reference, include: U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,571,706; 5,677,175; 5,510,471; 5,750,386; 5,597,945; 5,589,615; 5,750,871; 5,268,526; 5,780,708; 5,538,880; 5,773,269; 5,736,369 and 5,610,042.
Following transformation, plants are preferably selected using a dominant selectable marker incorporated into the transformation vector. Typically, such a marker will confer antibiotic or herbicide resistance on the transformed plants, and selection of transformants can be accomplished by exposing the plants to appropriate concentrations of the antibiotic or herbicide.
After transformed plants are selected and grown to maturity, those plants showing a modified trait are identified. The modified trait can be any of those traits described above. Additionally, to confirm that the modified trait is due to changes in expression levels or activity of the polypeptide or polynucleotide of the invention can be determined by analyzing mRNA expression using Northern blots, RT-PCR or microarrays, or protein expression using immunoblots or Western blots or gel shift assays.
Integrated Systems—Sequence Identity
Additionally, the present invention may be an integrated system, computer or computer readable medium that comprises an instruction set for determining the identity of one or more sequences in a database. In addition, the instruction set can be used to generate or identify sequences that meet any specified criteria. Furthermore, the instruction set may be used to associate or link certain functional benefits, such improved characteristics, with one or more identified sequence.
For example, the instruction set can include, e.g., a sequence comparison or other alignment program, e.g., an available program such as, for example, the Wisconsin Package Version 10.0, such as BLAST, FASTA, PILEUP, FINDPATTERNS or the like (GCG, Madison, Wis.). Public sequence databases such as GenBank, EMBL, Swiss-Prot and PIR or private sequence databases such as PHYTOSEQ sequence database (Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto, Calif.) can be searched.
Alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1981) Adv. Appl. Math. 2: 482-489, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453, by the search for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 85: 2444-2448, by computerized implementations of these algorithms. After alignment, sequence comparisons between two (or more) polynucleotides or polypeptides are typically performed by comparing sequences of the two sequences over a comparison window to identify and compare local regions of sequence similarity. The comparison window can be a segment of at least about 20 contiguous positions, usually about 50 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 contiguous positions. A description of the method is provided in Ausubel et al. supra.
A variety of methods for determining sequence relationships can be used, including manual alignment and computer assisted sequence alignment and analysis. This later approach is a preferred approach in the present invention, due to the increased throughput afforded by computer assisted methods. As noted above, a variety of computer programs for performing sequence alignment are available, or can be produced by one of skill.
One example algorithm that is suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity is the BLAST algorithm, which is described in Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available, e.g., through the National Library of Medicine's National Center for Biotechnology Information (ncbi.nlm.nih; see at world wide web (www) National Institutes of Health US government (gov) website). This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold (Altschul et al. supra). These initial neighborhood word hits act as seeds for initiating searches to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are then extended in both directions along each sequence for as far as the cumulative alignment score can be increased. Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always >0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always <0). For amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 11, an expectation (E) of 10, a cutoff of 100, M=5, N=−4, and a comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 3, an expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff and Henikoff (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 89: 10915-10919). Unless otherwise indicated, “sequence identity” here refers to the % sequence identity generated from a tblastx using the NCBI version of the algorithm at the default settings using gapped alignments with the filter “off” (see, for example, NIH NLM NCBI website at ncbi.nlm.nih, supra).
In addition to calculating percent sequence identity, the BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g. Karlin and Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 90: 5873-5787). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. For example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence (and, therefore, in this context, homologous) if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.1, or less than about 0.01, and or even less than about 0.001. An additional example of a useful sequence alignment algorithm is PILEUP. PILEUP creates a multiple sequence alignment from a group of related sequences using progressive, pairwise alignments. The program can align, e.g., up to 300 sequences of a maximum length of 5,000 letters.
The integrated system, or computer typically includes a user input interface allowing a user to selectively view one or more sequence records corresponding to the one or more character strings, as well as an instruction set which aligns the one or more character strings with each other or with an additional character string to identify one or more region of sequence similarity. The system may include a link of one or more character strings with a particular phenotype or gene function. Typically, the system includes a user readable output element that displays an alignment produced by the alignment instruction set.
The methods of this invention can be implemented in a localized or distributed computing environment. In a distributed environment, the methods may implemented on a single computer comprising multiple processors or on a multiplicity of computers. The computers can be linked, e.g. through a common bus, but more preferably the computer(s) are nodes on a network. The network can be a generalized or a dedicated local or wide-area network and, in certain preferred embodiments, the computers may be components of an intra-net or an internet.
Thus, the invention provides methods for identifying a sequence similar or homologous to one or more polynucleotides as noted herein, or one or more target polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides, or otherwise noted herein and may include linking or associating a given plant phenotype or gene function with a sequence. In the methods, a sequence database is provided (locally or across an inter or intra net) and a query is made against the sequence database using the relevant sequences herein and associated plant phenotypes or gene functions.
Any sequence herein can be entered into the database, before or after querying the database. This provides for both expansion of the database and, if done before the querying step, for insertion of control sequences into the database. The control sequences can be detected by the query to ensure the general integrity of both the database and the query. As noted, the query can be performed using a web browser based interface. For example, the database can be a centralized public database such as those noted herein, and the querying can be done from a remote terminal or computer across an internet or intranet.
Any sequence herein can be used to identify a similar, homologous, paralogous, or orthologous sequence in another plant. This provides means for identifying endogenous sequences in other plants that may be useful to alter a trait of progeny plants, which results from crossing two plants of different strain. For example, sequences that encode an ortholog of any of the sequences herein that naturally occur in a plant with a desired trait can be identified using the sequences disclosed herein. The plant is then crossed with a second plant of the same species but which does not have the desired trait to produce progeny which can then be used in further crossing experiments to produce the desired trait in the second plant. Therefore the resulting progeny plant contains no transgenes; expression of the endogenous sequence may also be regulated by treatment with a particular chemical or other means, such as EMR. Some examples of such compounds well known in the art include: ethylene; cytokinins; phenolic compounds, which stimulate the transcription of the genes needed for infection; specific monosaccharides and acidic environments which potentiate vir gene induction; acidic polysaccharides which induce one or more chromosomal genes; and opines; other mechanisms include light or dark treatment (for a review of examples of such treatments, see, Winans (1992) Microbiol. Rev. 56: 12-31; Eyal et al. (1992) Plant Mol. Biol. 19: 589-599; Chrispeels et al. (2000) Plant Mol. Biol. 42: 279-290; Piazza et al. (2002) Plant Physiol. 128: 1077-1086).
Table 7 lists sequences discovered to be orthologous to a number of representative transcription factors of the present invention. The column headings include the transcription factors listed by SEQ ID NO; corresponding Gene ID (GID) numbers; the species from which the orthologs to the transcription factors are derived; the type of sequence (i.e., DNA or protein) discovered to be orthologous to the transcription factors; and the SEQ ID NO of the orthologs, the latter corresponding to the ortholog SEQ ID NOs listed in the Sequence Listing.

Molecular Modeling

Another means that may be used to confirm the utility and function of transcription factor sequences that are orthologous or paralogous to presently disclosed transcription factors is through the use of molecular modeling software. Molecular modeling is routinely used to predict polypeptide structure, and a variety of protein structure modeling programs, such as “Insight II” (Accelrys, Inc.) are commercially available for this purpose. Modeling can thus be used to predict which residues of a polypeptide can be changed without altering function (Crameri et al. (2003) U.S. Pat. No. 6,521,453). Thus, polypeptides that are sequentially similar can be shown to have a high likelihood of similar function by their structural similarity, which may, for example, be established by comparison of regions of superstructure. The relative tendencies of amino acids to form regions of superstructure (for example, helixes and β-sheets) are well established. For example, O'Neil et al. (1990) Science 250: 646-651) have discussed in detail the helix forming tendencies of amino acids. Tables of relative structure forming activity for amino acids can be used as substitution tables to predict which residues can be functionally substituted in a given region, for example, in DNA-binding domains of known transcription factors and equivalogs. Homologs that are likely to be functionally similar can then be identified.
Of particular interest is the structure of a transcription factor in the region of its conserved domain, such as those identified in Table 5. Structural analyses may be performed by comparing the structure of the known transcription factor around its conserved domain with those of orthologs and paralogs. Analysis of a number of polypeptides within a transcription factor group or clade, including the functionally or sequentially similar polypeptides provided in the Sequence Listing, may also provide an understanding of structural elements required to regulate transcription within a given family.
EXAMPLES
The invention, now being generally described, will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It will be recognized by one of skill in the art that a transcription factor that is associated with a particular first trait may also be associated with at least one other, unrelated and inherent second trait which was not predicted by the first trait.
The complete descriptions of the traits associated with each polynucleotide of the invention are fully disclosed in Table 4 and Table 6. The complete description of the transcription factor gene family and identified conserved domains of the polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide is fully disclosed in Table 5.
Example I
Full Length Gene Identification and Cloning
Putative transcription factor sequences (genomic or ESTs) related to known transcription factors were identified in the Arabidopsis thaliana GenBank database using the tblastn sequence analysis program using default parameters and a P-value cutoff threshold of −4 or −5 or lower, depending on the length of the query sequence. Putative transcription factor sequence hits were then screened to identify those containing particular sequence strings. If the sequence hits contained such sequence strings, the sequences were confirmed as transcription factors.
Alternatively, Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA libraries derived from different tissues or treatments, or genomic libraries were screened to identify novel members of a transcription family using a low stringency hybridization approach. Probes were synthesized using gene specific primers in a standard PCR reaction (annealing temperature 60° C.) and labeled with 32P dCTP using the High Prime DNA Labeling Kit (Boehringer Mannheim Corp. (now Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, Ind.). Purified radiolabelled probes were added to filters immersed in Church hybridization medium (0.5 M NaPO4 pH 7.0, 7% SDS, 1% w/v bovine serum albumin) and hybridized overnight at 60° C. with shaking. Filters were washed two times for 45 to 60 minutes with 1×SCC, 1% SDS at 60° C.
To identify additional sequence 5′ or 3′ of a partial cDNA sequence in a cDNA library, 5′ and 3′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) was performed using the MARATHON cDNA amplification kit (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.). Generally, the method entailed first isolating poly(A) mRNA, performing first and second strand cDNA synthesis to generate double stranded cDNA, blunting cDNA ends, followed by ligation of the MARATHON Adaptor to the cDNA to form a library of adaptor-ligated ds cDNA.
Gene-specific primers were designed to be used along with adaptor specific primers for both 5′ and 3′ RACE reactions. Nested primers, rather than single primers, were used to increase PCR specificity. Using 5′ and 3′ RACE reactions, 5′ and 3′ RACE fragments were obtained, sequenced and cloned. The process can be repeated until 5′ and 3′ ends of the full-length gene were identified. Then the full-length cDNA was generated by PCR using primers specific to 5′ and 3′ ends of the gene by end-to-end PCR.
Example II
Construction of Expression Vectors
The sequence was amplified from a genomic or cDNA library using primers specific to sequences upstream and downstream of the coding region. The expression vector was pMEN20 or pMEN65, which are both derived from pMON316 (Sanders et al. (1987) Nucleic Acids Res. 15:1543-1558) and contain the CaMV 35S promoter to express transgenes. To clone the sequence into the vector, both pMEN20 and the amplified DNA fragment were digested separately with SalI and Nod restriction enzymes at 37° C. for 2 hours. The digestion products were subject to electrophoresis in a 0.8% agarose gel and visualized by ethidium bromide staining. The DNA fragments containing the sequence and the linearized plasmid were excised and purified by using a QIAQUICK gel extraction kit (Qiagen, Valencia Calif.). The fragments of interest were ligated at a ratio of 3:1 (vector to insert). Ligation reactions using T4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs, Beverly Mass.) were carried out at 16° C. for 16 hours. The ligated DNAs were transformed into competent cells of the E. coli strain DH5alpha by using the heat shock method. The transformations were plated on LB plates containing 50 mg/l kanamycin (Sigma Chemical Co. St. Louis Mo.). Individual colonies were grown overnight in five milliliters of LB broth containing 50 mg/l kanamycin at 37° C. Plasmid DNA was purified by using Qiaquick Mini Prep kits (Qiagen).
Example III
Transformation of Agrobacterium with the Expression Vector
After the plasmid vector containing the gene was constructed, the vector was used to transform Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells expressing the gene products. The stock of Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells for transformation were made as described by Nagel et al. (1990) FEMS Microbiol Letts. 67: 325-328. Agrobacterium strain ABI was grown in 250 ml LB medium (Sigma) overnight at 28° C. with shaking until an absorbance over 1 cm at 600 nm (A600) of 0.5-1.0 was reached. Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 4,000×g for 15 min at 4° C. Cells were then resuspended in 250 μl chilled buffer (1 mM HEPES, pH adjusted to 7.0 with KOH). Cells were centrifuged again as described above and resuspended in 125 μl chilled buffer. Cells were then centrifuged and resuspended two more times in the same HEPES buffer as described above at a volume of 100 μl and 750 μl, respectively. Resuspended cells were then distributed into 40 μl aliquots, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80° C.
Agrobacterium cells were transformed with plasmids prepared as described above following the protocol described by Nagel et al. (supra). For each DNA construct to be transformed, 50-100 ng DNA (generally resuspended in 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) was mixed with 40 μl of Agrobacterium cells. The DNA/cell mixture was then transferred to a chilled cuvette with a 2 mm electrode gap and subject to a 2.5 kV charge dissipated at 25° F. and 200° F. using a Gene Pulser II apparatus (Bio-Rad, Hercules, Calif.). After electroporation, cells were immediately resuspended in 1.0 ml LB and allowed to recover without antibiotic selection for 2-4 hours at 28° C. in a shaking incubator. After recovery, cells were plated onto selective medium of LB broth containing 100 μg/ml spectinomycin (Sigma) and incubated for 24-48 hours at 28° C. Single colonies were then picked and inoculated in fresh medium. The presence of the plasmid construct was verified by PCR amplification and sequence analysis.
Example IV
Transformation of Arabidopsis Plants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens with Expression Vector
After transformation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens with plasmid vectors containing the gene, single Agrobacterium colonies were identified, propagated, and used to transform Arabidopsis plants. Briefly, 500 ml cultures of LB medium containing 50 mg/l kanamycin were inoculated with the colonies and grown at 28° C. with shaking for 2 days until an optical absorbance at 600 nm wavelength over 1 cm (A600) of >2.0 is reached. Cells were then harvested by centrifugation at 4,000×g for 10 min, and resuspended in infiltration medium (1⁄2× Murashige and Skoog salts (Sigma), 1× Gamborg's B-5 vitamins (Sigma), 5.0% (w/v) sucrose (Sigma), 0.044 μM benzylamino purine (Sigma), 200 μl/l Silwet L-77 (Lehle Seeds) until an A600 of 0.8 was reached.
Prior to transformation, Arabidopsis thaliana seeds (ecotype Columbia) were sown at a density of  ̃10 plants per 4′′ pot onto Pro-Mix BX potting medium (Hummert International) covered with fiberglass mesh (18 mm×16 mm) Plants were grown under continuous illumination (50-75 μE/m2/sec) at 22-23° C. with 65-70% relative humidity. After about 4 weeks, primary inflorescence stems (bolts) are cut off to encourage growth of multiple secondary bolts. After flowering of the mature secondary bolts, plants were prepared for transformation by removal of all siliques and opened flowers.
The pots were then immersed upside down in the mixture of Agrobacterium infiltration medium as described above for 30 sec, and placed on their sides to allow draining into a 1′×2′ flat surface covered with plastic wrap. After 24 h, the plastic wrap was removed and pots are turned upright. The immersion procedure was repeated one week later, for a total of two immersions per pot. Seeds were then collected from each transformation pot and analyzed following the protocol described below.
Example V
Identification of Arabidopsis Primary Transformants
Seeds collected from the transformation pots were sterilized essentially as follows. Seeds were dispersed into in a solution containing 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100 (Sigma) and sterile water and washed by shaking the suspension for 20 min. The wash solution was then drained and replaced with fresh wash solution to wash the seeds for 20 min with shaking After removal of the ethanol/detergent solution, a solution containing 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 30% (v/v) bleach (CLOROX; Clorox Corp. Oakland Calif.) was added to the seeds, and the suspension was shaken for 10 min. After removal of the bleach/detergent solution, seeds were then washed five times in sterile distilled water. The seeds were stored in the last wash water at 4° C. for 2 days in the dark before being plated onto antibiotic selection medium (1× Murashige and Skoog salts (pH adjusted to 5.7 with 1M KOH), 1× Gamborg's B-5 vitamins, 0.9% phytagar (Life Technologies), and 50 mg/l kanamycin). Seeds were germinated under continuous illumination (50-75 μE/m2/sec) at 22-23° C. After 7-10 days of growth under these conditions, kanamycin resistant primary transformants (T1 generation) were visible and obtained. These seedlings were transferred first to fresh selection plates where the seedlings continued to grow for 3-5 more days, and then to soil (Pro-Mix BX potting medium).
Primary transformants were crossed and progeny seeds (T2) collected; kanamycin resistant seedlings were selected and analyzed. The expression levels of the recombinant polynucleotides in the transformants varies from about a 5% expression level increase to a least a 100% expression level increase. Similar observations are made with respect to polypeptide level expression.

Identification of Arabidopsis Plants with Transcription Factor Gene Knockouts
The screening of insertion mutagenized Arabidopsis collections for null mutants in a known target gene was essentially as described in Krysan et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11: 2283-2290. Briefly, gene-specific primers, nested by 5-250 base pairs to each other, were designed from the 5′ and 3′ regions of a known target gene. Similarly, nested sets of primers were also created specific to each of the T-DNA or transposon ends (the “right” and “left” borders). All possible combinations of gene specific and T-DNA/transposon primers were used to detect by PCR an insertion event within or close to the target gene. The amplified DNA fragments were then sequenced which allows the precise determination of the T-DNA/transposon insertion point relative to the target gene. Insertion events within the coding or intervening sequence of the genes were deconvoluted from a pool comprising a plurality of insertion events to a single unique mutant plant for functional characterization. The method is described in more detail in Yu and Adam, U.S. application Ser. No. 09/177,733 filed Oct. 23, 1998.
Example VII
Identification of Modified Phenotypes in Overexpression or Gene Knockout Plants
Experiments were performed to identify those transformants or knockouts that exhibited modified biochemical characteristics. Among the biochemicals that were assayed were insoluble sugars, such as arabinose, fucose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose or xylose or the like; prenyl lipids, such as lutein, beta-carotene, xanthophyll-1, xanthophyll-2, chlorophylls A or B, or alpha-, delta- or gamma-tocopherol or the like; fatty acids, such as 16:0 (palmitic acid), 16:1 (palmitoleic acid), 18:0 (stearic acid), 18:1 (oleic acid), 18:2 (linoleic acid), 20:0, 18:3 (linolenic acid), 20:1 (eicosenoic acid), 20:2, 22:1 (erucic acid) or the like; waxes, such as by altering the levels of C29, C31, or C33 alkanes; sterols, such as brassicasterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol or stigmastanol or the like, glucosinolates, protein or oil levels.
Fatty acids were measured using two methods depending on whether the tissue was from leaves or seeds. For leaves, lipids were extracted and esterified with hot methanolic H2SO4 and partitioned into hexane from methanolic brine. For seed fatty acids, seeds were pulverized and extracted in methanol:heptane:toluene:2,2-dimethoxypropane:H2SO4 (39:34:20:5:2) for 90 minutes at 80° C. After cooling to room temperature the upper phase, containing the seed fatty acid esters, was subjected to GC analysis. Fatty acid esters from both seed and leaf tissues were analyzed with a SUPELCO SP-2330 column (Supelco, Bellefonte, Pa.).
Glucosinolates were purified from seeds or leaves by first heating the tissue at 95° C. for 10 minutes. Preheated ethanol:water (50:50) is added and after heating at 95° C. for a further 10 minutes, the extraction solvent is applied to a DEAE Sephadex column (Pharmacia) which had been previously equilibrated with 0.5 M pyridine acetate. Desulfoglucosinolates were eluted with 300 ul water and analyzed by reverse phase HPLC monitoring at 226 nm.
For wax alkanes, samples were extracted using an identical method as fatty acids and extracts were analyzed on a HP 5890 GC coupled with a 5973 MSD. Samples were chromatographically isolated on a J&W DB35 mass spectrometer (J&W Scientific Agilent Technologies, Folsom, Calif.).
To measure prenyl lipid levels, seeds or leaves were pulverized with 1 to 2% pyrogallol as an antioxidant. For seeds, extracted samples were filtered and a portion removed for tocopherol and carotenoid/chlorophyll analysis by HPLC. The remaining material was saponified for sterol determination. For leaves, an aliquot was removed and diluted with methanol and chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, and total carotenoids measured by spectrophotometry by determining optical absorbance at 665.2 nm, 652.5 nm, and 470 nm. An aliquot was removed for tocopherol and carotenoid/chlorophyll composition by HPLC using a Waters μBondapak C18 column (4.6 mm×150 mm). The remaining methanolic solution was saponified with 10% KOH at 80° C. for one hour. The samples were cooled and diluted with a mixture of methanol and water. A solution of 2% methylene chloride in hexane was mixed in and the samples were centrifuged. The aqueous methanol phase was again re-extracted 2% methylene chloride in hexane and, after centrifugation, the two upper phases were combined and evaporated. 2% methylene chloride in hexane was added to the tubes and the samples were then extracted with one ml of water. The upper phase was removed, dried, and resuspended in 400 ul of 2% methylene chloride in hexane and analyzed by gas chromatography using a 50 m DB-5 ms (0.25 mm ID, 0.25 um phase, J&W Scientific).
Insoluble sugar levels were measured by the method essentially described by Reiter et al. (1999), Plant J. 12: 335-345. This method analyzes the neutral sugar composition of cell wall polymers found in Arabidopsis leaves. Soluble sugars were separated from sugar polymers by extracting leaves with hot 70% ethanol. The remaining residue containing the insoluble polysaccharides was then acid hydrolyzed with allose added as an internal standard. Sugar monomers generated by the hydrolysis were then reduced to the corresponding alditols by treatment with NaBH4, then were acetylated to generate the volatile alditol acetates which were then analyzed by GC-FID. Identity of the peaks was determined by comparing the retention times of known sugars converted to the corresponding alditol acetates with the retention times of peaks from wild-type plant extracts. Alditol acetates were analyzed on a Supelco SP-2330 capillary column (30 m×250 μm×0.2 μm) using a temperature program beginning at 180° C. for 2 minutes followed by an increase to 220° C. in 4 minutes. After holding at 220° C. for 10 minutes, the oven temperature is increased to 240° C. in 2 minutes and held at this temperature for 10 minutes and brought back to room temperature.
To identify plants with alterations in total seed oil or protein content, 150 mg of seeds from T2 progeny plants were subjected to analysis by Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) using a Foss NirSystems Model 6500 with a spinning cup transport system. NIRS is a non-destructive analytical method used to determine seed oil and protein composition. Infrared is the region of the electromagnetic spectrum located after the visible region in the direction of longer wavelengths. ‘Near infrared’ owns its name for being the infrared region near to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For practical purposes, near infrared comprises wavelengths between 800 and 2500 nm. NIRS is applied to organic compounds rich in O—H bonds (such as moisture, carbohydrates, and fats), C—H bonds (such as organic compounds and petroleum derivatives), and N—H bonds (such as proteins and amino acids). The NIRS analytical instruments operate by statistically correlating NIRS signals at several wavelengths with the characteristic or property intended to be measured. All biological substances contain thousands of C—H, O—H, and N—H bonds. Therefore, the exposure to near infrared radiation of a biological sample, such as a seed, results in a complex spectrum which contains qualitative and quantitative information about the physical and chemical composition of that sample.
The numerical value of a specific analyte in the sample, such as protein content or oil content, is mediated by a calibration approach known as chemometrics. Chemometrics applies statistical methods such as multiple linear regression (MLR), partial least squares (PLS), and principle component analysis (PCA) to the spectral data and correlates them with a physical property or other factor, that property or factor is directly determined rather than the analyte concentration itself. The method first provides “wet chemistry” data of the samples required to develop the calibration.
Calibration of NIRS response was performed using data obtained by wet chemical analysis of a population of Arabidopsis ecotypes that were expected to represent diversity of oil and protein levels.
The exact oil composition of each ecotype used in the calibration experiment was performed using gravimetric analysis of oils extracted from seed samples (0.5 g or 1.0 g) by the accelerated solvent extraction method (ASE; Dionex Corp, Sunnyvale, Calif.). The extraction method was validated against certified canola samples (Community Bureau of Reference, Belgium). Seed samples from each ecotype (0.5 g or 1 g) were subjected to accelerated solvent extraction and the resulting extracted oil weights compared to the weight of oil recovered from canola seed that has been certified for oil content (Community Bureau of Reference). The oil calibration equation was based on 57 samples with a range of oil contents from 27.0% to 50.8%. To check the validity of the calibration curve, an additional set of samples was extracted by ASE and predicted using the oil calibration equation. This validation set counted 46 samples, ranging from 27.9% to 47.5% oil, and had a predicted standard error of performance of 0.63%. The wet chemical method for protein was elemental analysis (% N×6.0) using the average of 3 representative samples of 5 mg each validated against certified ground corn (NIST). The instrumentation was an Elementar Vario-EL III elemental analyzer operated in CNS operating mode (Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH, Hanau, Germany).
The protein calibration equation was based on a library of 63 samples with a range of protein contents from 17.4% to 31.2%. An additional set of samples was analyzed for protein by elemental analysis (n=57) and scanned by NIRS in order to validate the protein prediction equation. The protein range of the validation set was from 16.8% to 31.2% and the standard error of prediction was 0.468%.
NIRS analysis of Arabidopsis seed was carried out on between 40-300 mg experimental sample. The oil and protein contents were predicted using the respective calibration equations.
Data obtained from NIRS analysis was analyzed statistically using a nearest-neighbor (N-N) analysis. The N-N analysis allows removal of within-block spatial variability in a fairly flexible fashion, which does not require prior knowledge of the pattern of variability in the chamber. Ideally, all hybrids are grown under identical experimental conditions within a block (rep). In reality, even in many block designs, significant within-block variability exists. Nearest-neighbor procedures are based on assumption that environmental effect of a plot is closely related to that of its neighbors. Nearest-neighbor methods use information from adjacent plots to adjust for within-block heterogeneity and so provide more precise estimates of treatment means and differences. If there is within-plot heterogeneity on a spatial scale that is larger than a single plot and smaller than the entire block, then yields from adjacent plots will be positively correlated. Information from neighboring plots can be used to reduce or remove the unwanted effect of the spatial heterogeneity, and hence improve the estimate of the treatment effect. Data from neighboring plots can also be used to reduce the influence of competition between adjacent plots. The Papadakis N-N analysis can be used with designs to remove within-block variability that would not be removed with the standard split plot analysis (Papadakis (1973) Inst. d'Amelior. Plantes Thessaloniki (Greece) Bull. Scientif. No. 23; Papadakis (1984) Proc. Acad. Athens 59: 326-342.
Experiments were performed to identify those transformants or knockouts that exhibited modified sugar-sensing. For such studies, seeds from transformants were germinated on media containing 5% glucose or 9.4% sucrose which normally partially restrict hypocotyl elongation. Plants with altered sugar sensing may have either longer or shorter hypocotyls than normal plants when grown on this media. Additionally, other plant traits may be varied such as root mass.
Experiments may be performed to identify those transformants or knockouts that exhibited an improved pathogen tolerance. For such studies, the transformants are exposed to biotropic fungal pathogens, such as Erysiphe orontii, and necrotropic fungal pathogens, such as Fusarium oxysporum. Fusarium oxysporum isolates cause vascular wilts and damping off of various annual vegetables, perennials and weeds (Mauch-Mani and Slusarenko (1994) Molec Plant-Microbe Interact. 7: 378-383). For Fusarium oxysporum experiments, plants are grown on Petri dishes and sprayed with a fresh spore suspension of F. oxysporum. The spore suspension is prepared as follows: A plug of fungal hyphae from a plate culture is placed on a fresh potato dextrose agar plate and allowed to spread for one week. Five ml sterile water is then added to the plate, swirled, and pipetted into 50 ml Armstrong Fusarium medium. Spores are grown overnight in Fusarium medium and then sprayed onto plants using a Preval paint sprayer. Plant tissue is harvested and frozen in liquid nitrogen 48 hours post-infection.
Erysiphe orontii is a causal agent of powdery mildew. For Erysiphe orontii experiments, plants are grown approximately 4 weeks in a greenhouse under 12 hour light (20° C.,  ̃30% relative humidity (rh)). Individual leaves are infected with E. orontii spores from infected plants using a camel's hair brush, and the plants are transferred to a Percival growth chamber (20° C., 80% rh.). Plant tissue is harvested and frozen in liquid nitrogen 7 days post-infection.
Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic pathogen. Botrytis cinerea is grown on potato dextrose agar under 12 hour light (20° C.,  ̃30% relative humidity (rh)). A spore culture is made by spreading 10 ml of sterile water on the fungus plate, swirling and transferring spores to 10 ml of sterile water. The spore inoculum (approx. 105 spores/ml) is then used to spray 10 day-old seedlings grown under sterile conditions on MS (minus sucrose) media. Symptoms are evaluated every day up to approximately 1 week.
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum hyphal cultures are grown in potato dextrose broth. One gram of hyphae is ground, filtered, spun down and resuspended in sterile water. A 1:10 dilution is used to spray 10 day-old seedlings grown aseptically under a 12 hour light/dark regime on MS (minus sucrose) media. Symptoms are evaluated every day up to approximately 1 week.
Pseudomonas syringae pv maculicola (Psm) strain 4326 and pv maculicola strain 4326 was inoculated by hand at two doses. Two inoculation doses allows the differentiation between plants with enhanced susceptibility and plants with enhanced resistance to the pathogen. Plants are grown for 3 weeks in the greenhouse, then transferred to the growth chamber for the remainder of their growth. Psm ES4326 may be hand inoculated with 1 ml syringe on 3 fully-expanded leaves per plant (41⁄2 wk old), using at least 9 plants per overexpressing line at two inoculation doses, OD=0.005 and OD=0.0005. Disease scoring is performed at day 3 post-inoculation with pictures of the plants and leaves taken in parallel.
In some instances, expression patterns of the pathogen-induced genes (such as defense genes) may be monitored by microarray experiments. In these experiments, cDNAs are generated by PCR and resuspended at a final concentration of  ̃100 ng/μl in 3×SSC or 150 mM Na-phosphate (Eisen and Brown (1999) Methods Enzymol. 303: 179-205). The cDNAs are spotted on microscope glass slides coated with polylysine. The prepared cDNAs are aliquoted into 384 well plates and spotted on the slides using, for example, an x-y-z gantry (OmniGrid) which may be purchased from GeneMachines (Menlo Park, Calif.) outfitted with quill type pins which may be purchased from Telechem International (Sunnyvale, Calif.). After spotting, the arrays are cured for a minimum of one week at room temperature, rehydrated and blocked following the protocol recommended by Eisen and Brown (1999; supra).
Sample total RNA (10 μg) samples are labeled using fluorescent Cy3 and Cy5 dyes. Labeled samples are resuspended in 4×SSC/0.03% SDS/4 μg salmon sperm DNA/2 μg tRNA/50 mM Na-pyrophosphate, heated for 95° C. for 2.5 minutes, spun down and placed on the array. The array is then covered with a glass coverslip and placed in a sealed chamber. The chamber is then kept in a water bath at 62° C. overnight. The arrays are washed as described in Eisen and Brown (1999, supra) and scanned on a General Scanning 3000 laser scanner. The resulting files are subsequently quantified using IMAGENE, software (BioDiscovery, Los Angeles Calif.).
RT-PCR experiments may be performed to identify those genes induced after exposure to biotropic fungal pathogens, such as Erysiphe orontii, necrotropic fungal pathogens, such as Fusarium oxysporum, bacteria, viruses and salicylic acid, the latter being involved in a nonspecific resistance response in Arabidopsis thaliana. Generally, the gene expression patterns from ground plant leaf tissue is examined.
Reverse transcriptase PCR was conducted using gene specific primers within the coding region for each sequence identified. The primers were designed near the 3′ region of each DNA binding sequence initially identified.
Total RNA from these ground leaf tissues was isolated using the CTAB extraction protocol. Once extracted total RNA was normalized in concentration across all the tissue types to ensure that the PCR reaction for each tissue received the same amount of cDNA template using the 28S band as reference. Poly(A+) RNA was purified using a modified protocol from the Qiagen OLIGOTEX purification kit batch protocol. cDNA was synthesized using standard protocols. After the first strand cDNA synthesis, primers for Actin 2 were used to normalize the concentration of cDNA across the tissue types. Actin 2 is found to be constitutively expressed in fairly equal levels across the tissue types being investigated.
For RT PCR, cDNA template was mixed with corresponding primers and Taq DNA polymerase. Each reaction consisted of 0.2 μl cDNA template, 2 μl 10× Tricine buffer, 2 μl 10× Tricine buffer and 16.8 μl water, 0.05 μl Primer 1, 0.05 μl, Primer 2, 0.3 μl Taq DNA polymerase and 8.6 μl water.
The 96 well plate is covered with microfilm and set in the thermocycler to start the reaction cycle. By way of illustration, the reaction cycle may comprise the following steps:
Step 1: 93° C. for 3 min;
Step 2: 93° C. for 30 sec;
Step 3: 65° C. for 1 min;
Step 4: 72° C. for 2 min;
Steps 2, 3 and 4 are repeated for 28 cycles;
Step 5: 72° C. for 5 min; and
Step 6: 4° C.
To amplify more products, for example, to identify genes that have very low expression, additional steps may be performed: The following method illustrates a method that may be used in this regard. The PCR plate is placed back in the thermocycler for 8 more cycles of steps 2-4.
Step 2: 93° C. for 30 sec;
Step 3: 65° C. for 1 min;
Step 4: 72° C. for 2 min, repeated for 8 cycles; and
Step 5: 4° C.
Eight microliters of PCR product and 1.5 μl of loading dye are loaded on a 1.2% agarose gel for analysis after 28 cycles and 36 cycles. Expression levels of specific transcripts are considered low if they were only detectable after 36 cycles of PCR. Expression levels are considered medium or high depending on the levels of transcript compared with observed transcript levels for an internal control such as actin2. Transcript levels are determined in repeat experiments and compared to transcript levels in control (e.g., non-transformed) plants.
Experiments were performed to identify those transformants or knockouts that exhibited an improved environmental stress tolerance. For such studies, the transformants were exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. Plants were exposed to chilling stress (6 hour exposure to 4-8° C.), heat stress (6 hour exposure to 32-37° C.), high salt stress (6 hour exposure to 200 mM NaCl), drought stress (168 hours after removing water from trays), osmotic stress (6 hour exposure to 3 M mannitol), or nutrient limitation (nitrogen: all components of MS medium remained constant except N was reduced to 20 mg/l of NH4NO3; phosphate: all components of MS medium except KH2PO4, which was replaced by K2SO4; potassium: all components of MS medium except removal of KNO3 and KH2PO4, which were replaced by NaH4PO4).
Experiments were performed to identify those transformants or knockouts that exhibited a modified structure and development characteristics. For such studies, the transformants were observed by eye to identify novel structural or developmental characteristics associated with the ectopic expression of the polynucleotides or polypeptides of the invention.
Flowering time was measured by the number of rosette leaves present when a visible inflorescence of approximately 3 cm is apparent. Rosette and total leaf number on the progeny stem are tightly correlated with the timing of flowering (Koornneef et al. (1991) Mol. Gen. Genet. 229: 57-66). The vernalization response was also measured. For vernalization treatments, seeds were sown to MS agar plates, sealed with micropore tape, and placed in a 4° C. cold room with low light levels for 6-8 weeks. The plates were then transferred to the growth rooms alongside plates containing freshly sown non-vernalized controls. Rosette leaves were counted when a visible inflorescence of approximately 3 cm was apparent.
Modified phenotypes observed for particular overexpressor or knockout plants are provided in Table 4. For a particular overexpressor that shows a less beneficial characteristic, it may be more useful to select a plant with a decreased expression of the particular transcription factor. For a particular knockout that shows a less beneficial characteristic, it may be more useful to select a plant with an increased expression of the particular transcription factor.
The sequences of the Sequence Listing or those in Tables 4-8, or those disclosed here, can be used to prepare transgenic plants and plants with altered traits. The specific transgenic plants listed below are produced from the sequences of the Sequence Listing, as noted. Table 4 provides exemplary polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences of the invention.
Example VIII
Examples of Genes that Confer Significant Improvements to Plants
A number of genes and homologs that confer significant improvements to knockout or overexpressing plants were noted below. Experimental observations made with regard to specific genes whose expression was modified in overexpressing or knockout plants, and potential applications based on these observations, were also presented.
G8 (SEQ ID NO: 1)
Published Information
G8 corresponds to gene At2g28550 (AAD21489), and was described as RAP2.7 (Okamuro et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 94:7076-7081).
Experimental Observations
The function of G8 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G8 caused alterations in plant development, the most consistent one being a delay in flowering time.
The individual plants showed a relatively strong phenotype and typically made 30-50 leaves (versus 10-12 the wild-type controls) prior to bolting, under 24-hour light. This phenotype was reproduced in some, but not all, of the T2 progeny plants from each one of the lines. Additionally, a further T2 population was found to flower later than wild type in 12-hour light conditions. Thus, late flowering was observed in both the T1 and T2 generations, and in different photoperiodic conditions.
It should also be noted that many 35S::G8 plants appeared smaller than controls, particularly at early stages. Accordingly, in the T2 lines used for physiological analyses it was observed that seedlings were smaller and showed reduced vigor when germinated on MS plates. However, not all 35S::G8 lines showed these effects.
G8 was ubiquitously expressed, at higher levels in rosette leaves.
Potential Applications
G8 or its equivalogs can be used to alter flowering time.
In general, a wide variety of applications exist for systems that either lengthen or shorten the time to flowering.
Most modern crop varieties were the result of extensive breeding programs. Many generations of backcrossing may be required to introduce desired traits. Systems that accelerate flowering can have valuable applications in such programs since they allow much faster generation times. Additionally, in some instances, a faster generation time can allow additional harvests of a crop to be made within a given growing season. With the advent of transformation systems for tree species such as oil palm and Eucalyptus, forest biotechnology is a growing area of interest. Acceleration of flowering can reduce generation times and make breeding programs feasible which would otherwise be impossible.
In species such as sugarbeet where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues were discarded, it is advantageous to delay or prevent flowering. Extending vegetative development can bring about large increases in yields. By regulating the expression of flowering-time controlling genes, using inducible promoters, flowering can be triggered as desired (for example, by application of a chemical inducer). This can allow, for example, flowering to be synchronized across a crop and facilitate more efficient harvesting. Such inducible systems can be used to tune the flowering of crop varieties to different latitudes. At present, species such as soybean and cotton were available as a series of maturity groups that were suitable for different latitudes on the basis of their flowering time (which is governed by day-length). A system in which flowering can be chemically controlled could allow a single high-yielding northern maturity group to be grown at any latitude. In southern regions such plants can be grown for longer, thereby increasing yields, before flowering was induced. In more northern areas, the induction can be used to ensure that the crop flowers prior to the first winter frosts. Currently, the existence of a series of maturity groups for different latitudes represents a major barrier to the introduction of new valuable traits. Any trait (e.g. disease resistance) has to be bred into each of the different maturity groups separately; a laborious and costly exercise. The availability of single strain, which can be grown at any latitude, could therefore greatly increase the potential for introducing new traits to crop species such as soybean and cotton.
For many crop species, high yielding winter-varieties can only be grown in temperate regions where the winter season is prolonged and cold enough to elicit a vernalization response. If the vernalization treatment can be compensated for by modulating the expression of certain transcription factors in crop plants, winter varieties of wheat, for instance, might then be grown in areas like Southern California which would otherwise be too warm to allow effective vernalization. Another application is in cherry (Prunus). Locally grown cherries are unavailable in the early Californian spring since the winters are too warm for vernalization to occur.
A further application exists in strawberry (Fragaria). Strawberry has a well-defined perennial cycle of flower initiation, dormancy, chilling, crop growth and runner production. In temperate European countries, the plants flower in early spring, and fruit is produced in May or June. Following fruiting, runners are generated that carry plantlets which take root. The plants then remain dormant all through the late summer and autumn. Flowering cannot be repeated until the following spring after the plants have received a winter cold treatment. A system that bypasses this vernalization requirement could permit a second autumn crop of strawberries to be harvested in addition to the spring crop.
G19 (SEQ ID NO: 3)
Published Information
G19 belongs to the EREBP subfamily of transcription factors and contains only one AP2 domain. G19 corresponds to the previously described gene RAP2.3 (Okamuro et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 94:7076-7081). Close inspection of the Arabidopsis cDNA sequences of RAP2.3 (AF003096; Okamuro et al. (1997) supra), AtEBP (Y09942; Buttner et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 94:5961-5966), and ATCADINP (Z37504) suggests that they may correspond to the same gene (Riechmann et al. (1998) Biol. Chem. 379:633-646). G19/RAP2.3 is ubiquitously expressed (Okamuro et al. (1997) supra). AtEBP was isolated by virtue of the protein-protein interaction between AtEBP and OBF4, a basic-region leucine zipper transcription factor (Buttner et al. (1997) supra). AtEBP expression levels in seedlings were increased after treatment with ethylene (ethephon) (Buttner et al. (1997) supra). AtEBP was found to bind to GCC-box containing sequences, like that of the PRB-1b promoter (Buttner et al. (1997) supra). It has been suggested that the interaction between AtEBP and OBF4 reflects cross-coupling between EREBP and bZIP transcription factors that might be important in regulating gene expression during the plant defense response (Buttner et al. (1997) supra).
Experimental Observations
Transgenic plants in which G19 is expressed under the control of the 35S promoter were morphologically similar to control plants. G19 is constitutively expressed in the different tissues examined; however G19 expression was significantly repressed by methyl jasmonate (MeJ) and induced by ACC (this latter result correlates with the previously described increase in G19 expression levels in seedlings after treatment with ethylene (ethephon); Buttner et al. (1997) supra). G19 was significantly induced upon infection by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. In addition, G19 overexpressing plants were more tolerant to infection with a moderate dose of Erysiphe orontii. G19 overexpressing plants were also tested for their tolerance to two other pathogens, the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum and the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae; the transgenic plants were not found to have altered susceptibility to the pathogens.
Both the jasmonic acid and the ethylene signal transduction pathways were involved in the regulation of the defense response and the wound response, and the two pathways have been found to interact synergistically. The regulation of G19 expression by both hormones, its induction upon Erysiphe orontii infection, as well as the preliminary data indicating that increased tolerance to that pathogen was conferred by G19 overexpression, suggest that G19 plays a role in the control of the defense and/or wound response. It would be of interest to test G19 overexpressing plants in insect-plant interaction experiments. The increase in tolerance to Erysiphe orontii that is conferred by G19 overexpression can be tested using other races of the pathogen. It would also be of interest to test other pathogens in addition to Erysiphe orontii, Fusarium oxysporum, and Pseudomonas syringae. 
Since G19 was expressed at significant levels in a constitutive fashion, similar experiments to those described here can be performed with G19 knockout mutant plants to further elucidate the function of this gene.
Potential Applications
G19 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the plant defense- wound- or insect-response, as well as the jasmonic acid and ethylene signal transduction pathways themselves.
G22 (SEQ ID NO: 5)
Published Information
G22 was identified in the sequence of BAC T13E15 (gene T13E15.5) by The Institute of Genomic Research (TIGR) as a “TINY transcription factor isolog”. G22 belongs to the EREBP subfamily and contains only one AP2 domain, and phylogenetic analyses place G22 relatively close to other EREBP subfamily genes, such as, TINY and ATDL4400C (Riechmann et al. (1998) Biol. Chem. 379:633-646).
Experimental Observations
G22 was constitutively expressed at medium levels. There appeared to be no phenotypic alteration on plant morphology upon G22 overexpression. Plants ectopically overexpressing G22 were more tolerant to high NaCl containing media in a root growth assay compared with wild-type controls.
Potential Applications
G22 or its equivalogs can be used to increase plant tolerance to soil salinity during germination, at the seedling stage, or throughout the plant life cycle. Salt tolerance is a particularly desirable phenotype during the germination stage of a crop plant, which would impact survivability and yield.
G24 (SEQ ID NO: 7)
Published Information
G24 corresponds to gene At2g23340 (AAB87098).
Experimental Observations
The function of G24 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G24 caused alterations in plant growth and development. Most notably, 35S::G24 seedlings often developed black necrotic tissue patches on cotyledons and leaves, and many died at that stage. Some 35S::G24 seedlings exhibited a weaker phenotype, and although necrotic patches were visible on the cotyledons, they did not die. These seedlings developed into plants that were usually small, slow growing, and poorly fertile in comparison to wild-type controls. The leaves of older 35S::G24 plants were also observed to become yellow and senesce prematurely compared with wild type. For those lines that could be assayed in biochemical and physiological assays, no differences were observed with respect to wild-type controls.
G24 was ubiquitously expressed, at apparently lower levels in germinating seedlings.
The AP2 domain of G24 is nearly identical to that of other Arabidopsis EREBP proteins, such as G12, G1379, and G1277.
Potential Applications
G24 or its equivalogs can be used to trigger cell death and influence or control processes in which cell death plays a role. G24 can be used to block pathogen infection by triggering it in infected cells and blocking spread of the disease.
G28 (SEQ ID NO: 9)
Published Information
G28 corresponds to AtERF1 (GenBank accession number AB008103) (Fujimoto et al. (2000) Plant Cell 12:393-404). G28 appears as gene AT4g17500 in the annotated sequence of Arabidopsis chromosome 4 (AL161546.2).
AtERF1 has been shown to have GCC-box binding activity [some defense-related genes that were induced by ethylene were found to contain a short cis-acting element known as the GCC-box: AGCCGCC (Ohme et al. (1990) Plant Mol. Biol. 15:941-946)]. Using transient assays in Arabidopsis leaves, AtERF1 was found to be able to act as a GCC-box sequence specific transactivator (Fujimoto et al. (2000) supra).
AtERF1 expression has been described to be induced by ethylene (two- to three-fold increase in AtERF1 transcript levels 12 h after ethylene treatment) (Fujimoto et al. (2000) supra). In the ein2 mutant, the expression of AtERF1 was not induced by ethylene, suggesting that the ethylene induction of AtERF1 is regulated under the ethylene signaling pathway (Fujimoto et al. (2000) supra). AtERF1 expression was also induced by wounding, but not by other abiotic stresses (such as cold, salinity, or drought) (Fujimoto et al. (2000) supra).
It has been suggested that AtERFs, in general, may act as transcription factors for stress-responsive genes, and that the GCC-box may act as a cis-regulatory element for biotic and abiotic stress signal transduction in addition to its role as an ethylene responsive element (ERE) (Fujimoto et al. (2000) supra), but there is no data available on the physiological functions of AtERF1.
Experimental Observations
The function of G28 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G28 overexpressing lines were more tolerant to infection with a moderate dose of the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. G28 overexpression did not seem to have detrimental effects on plant growth or vigor, since plants from most of the lines were morphologically wild-type. In addition, no difference was detected between those lines and the corresponding wild-type controls in all the biochemical assays that were performed.
G28 was ubiquitously expressed.
G28 overexpressing lines were also more tolerant to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea. In a repeat experiment using individual lines, all three lines analyzed showed tolerance to S. sclerotiorum, and two of the three lines tested were more tolerant to B cinerea. 
Potential Applications
G28 transgenic plants had an altered response to fungal pathogens, in that those plants were more tolerant to the pathogens. Therefore, G28 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G47 (SEQ ID NO: 11)
Published Information
G47 corresponds to gene T22118.2 (AAC25505).
Experimental Observations
The function of G47 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G47 resulted in a variety of morphological and physiological phenotypic alterations.
35S::G47 plants showed enhanced tolerance to osmotic stress. In a root growth assay on PEG containing media, G47 overexpressing transgenic seedlings were larger and had more root growth compared with the wild-type controls. G47 expression levels can be altered by environmental conditions, in particular reduced by salt and osmotic stresses.
Overexpression of G47 also produced a substantial delay in flowering time and caused a marked change in shoot architecture. 35S::G47 transformants were small at early stages and switched to flowering more than a week later than wild-type controls (continuous light conditions). The inflorescences from these plants appeared thick and fleshy, had reduced apical dominance, and exhibited reduced internode elongation leading to a short compact stature. The branching pattern of the stems also appeared abnormal, with the primary shoot becoming “kinked” at each coflorescence node. Additionally, the plants showed reduced fertility and formed rather small siliques that were borne on short pedicels and held vertically, close against the stem.
Additional alterations were detected in the inflorescence stems of 35S::G47 plants. Stem sections from T2-21 and T2-24 plants were of wider diameter, and had large irregular vascular bundles containing a much greater number of xylem vessels than wild type. Furthermore, some of the xylem vessels within the bundles appeared narrow and were possibly more lignified than were those of controls.
G47 was expressed at higher levels in rosette leaves, and transcripts were detected in other tissues (flower, embryo, silique, and germinating seedling), but not in roots.
Potential Applications
G47 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate flowering time, to modify plant architecture and stem structure (including development of vascular tissues and lignin content) and to improve plant performance under osmotic stress.
Transcription factor equivalogs that modulate lignin content can be valuable. This modulation can allow the quality of wood used for furniture or construction to be improved. Lignin is energy rich; increasing lignin composition is valuable in raising the energy content of wood used for fuel. Conversely, the pulp and paper industries seek wood with a reduced lignin content. Currently, lignin must be removed in a costly process that involves the use of many polluting chemicals. Consequently, lignin is a serious barrier to efficient pulp and paper production. In addition to forest biotechnology applications, changing lignin content can increase the palatability of various fruits and vegetables.
G156 (SEQ ID NO: 13)
Published Information
G156 corresponds to gene MKD15.12 (GenBank accession number BAB11181.1). G156 has also been described as AGL32 (Alvarez-Buylla et al. (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 97:5328-5333). Phylogenetic analyses of the Arabidopsis MADS box gene family indicate that G156/AGL32 is a Type II MADS-box gene, but it does not belong to any of the well-characterized Type II MADS gene clades (Alvarez-Buylla et al. 2000 supra).
Experimental Observations
The complete cDNA sequence of G156 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using both transgenic plants in which G156 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter and a line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in the gene. The T-DNA insertion lies in the second intron, and was expected to result in a strong loss-of-function or null mutation.
G156 knockout mutant plants produced yellow seed that showed more variation in shape than wild type, implying a function (direct or indirect) for G156 in seed development. G156 mutant plants were otherwise normal at all other developmental stages. Expression of G156 was determined to be specific to floral tissues. Although expression was detected by RT-PCR in flowers, siliques, and embryos, it could well be that G156 was specifically expressed in embryo/seed during development, in light of the many MADS box genes that have been shown to be expressed in specific floral organs or cell types, and of the G156 knockout mutant phenotype. In situ RNA hybridization experiments will determine more precisely G156 expression pattern.
The coloration phenotype of the G156 knockout mutant seed resembles that of ttgl and the transparent testa mutants. TTG1, which is localized in Chromosome 5, but approximately 0.5 Mb away from the clone that contains G156 (MKD15), codes for a WD40 repeat protein (Walker et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:1337-1350). The transparent testa (tt) loci were identified in screens for mutations that result in yellow or pale brown seeds (Koornneef (1990) Arabidopsis Inf. Ser. 27:1-4). Many of the “TT” genes have been mapped, and several of them have been cloned and shown to be involved in the anthocyanin pathway (Debeaujon et al. (2001) Plant Cell 13:853-872)
None of the TT genes corresponds to G156. TT3, TT4, TT5, and TT7 code for dihydroflavol 4-reductase, chalcone synthase, chalcone flavanone isomerase, and flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase, respectively (Shirley et al. (1992) Plant Cell 4:333-347; Shirley et al. (1995) Plant J. 8:659-671). TT12 encodes a multidrug secondary transporter-like protein required for flavonoid sequestration in vacuoles of the seed coat endothelium (Debeaujon et al. (2001) supra). TT6 and TT9 map on Chromosome 3, and TT1 maps on Chromosome 1. TT2 and TT10 map on Chromosome 5, but far away from the position of G156 (Shirley et al. (1995) supra). TT8 has also been cloned and shown to encode a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix class (Nesi et al. (2000) Plant Cell 12:1863-1878), providing further evidence for the regulation of the anthocyanin pathway at the transcriptional level.
The similarity of the G156 knockout and tt seed coloration phenotypes, and the involvement of at least some of the TT genes in the anthocyanin pathway, suggested that G156 is involved in its regulation.
In addition to the seed coloration phenotype, the G156 knockout mutant showed a significant increase in the percentage of seed 18:1 fatty acids.
G156 overexpressing plants showed a variety of morphological alterations, largely uninformative. The most severely affected transformants were extremely dwarfed, had aberrant branching, and sometimes possessed terminal flowers. These phenotypic alterations were frequently observed when MADS box genes that were involved in flower development were overexpressed in Arabidopsis (for instance, AG, AP1, and AP3+PI; Mizukami et al. (1992) Cell 71:119-131; Mandel et al. (1995) Nature 377:522-524; Krizek et al. (1996) Development 122:11-22).
Both G156 knockout mutant plants and G156 overexpressing lines behaved like the wild-type controls in the physiological assays performed.
Potential Applications
G156 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, such as for altering seed coloration. In addition, the promoter of G156 may be used to confer seed-specific expression to genes of interest.
G157 (SEQ ID NO: 15)
Published Information
G157 was first identified in the sequence of BAC F22K20 (GenBank accession number AC002291; gene F22K20.15).
Experimental Observations
G157 was recognized as a gene highly related to Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC; Michaels et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:949-956; Sheldon et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:445-458). FLC acts as a repressor of flowering. Late flowering vernalization responsive ecotypes and mutants have high steady state levels of FLC transcript, which decrease during the promotion of flowering by vernalization. FLC therefore has a central role in regulating the response to vernalization (Michaels (1999) supra; Sheldon et al. (1999) supra; Sheldon et al. (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 97:3753-3758).
The function of G157 was studied using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Over-expression of G157 modifies flowering time, and it appears to do so in a quantitative manner: a modest level of over-expression triggers early flowering, whereas a larger increase delays flowering. G157 over-expression promoted flowering in the Arabidopsis late-flowering vernalization-dependent ecotypes Stockholm and Pitztal.
In contrast to FLC, G157 transcript levels showed no correlation with the vernalization response, and over-expression of G157 did not influence FLC transcript levels. Thus, G157 likely acts downstream or independently of FLC transcription. In addition, a cluster of four additional FLC-like and G157-like genes were identified, raising the possibility that a whole sub-group of proteins within the MADS family regulates flowering time.
G157 overexpressing plants did not show any other morphological, physiological, or biochemical alteration in the assays that were performed. Overexpression of G157 was not observed to have deleterious effects: 35S::G157 plants were healthy and attained a wild-type stature when mature.
For many crops, high yielding winter strains can only be grown in regions where the growing season is sufficiently cold and prolonged to elicit vernalization. A system that could trigger flowering at higher temperatures would greatly expand the acreage over which winter varieties can be cultivated. The finding that G157 overexpression caused early flowering in Arabidopsis Stockholm and Pitztal plants, indicated that the gene can overcome the high level of FRIGIDA and FLC activity present in those late-ecotypes. That the effects were similar to those caused by vernalization implied that G157 might be applicable to winter strains of crop species. To date, a substantial number of genes have been found to promote flowering. Many, however, including those encoding the transcription factors, APETALA1, LEAFY, and CONSTANS, produce extreme dwarfing and/or shoot termination when over-expressed. Overexpression of G157 was not observed to have deleterious effects. 35S::G157 Arabidopsis plants were healthy and attained a wild-type stature when mature. Irrespective of the mode of G157 action, and whether its true biological role is as an activator or a repressor of flowering, the results suggested that G157 may produce either early or late flowering, according to the level of over-expression.
G162 (SEQ ID NO: 17)
Published Information
G162 corresponds to gene At2g34440 (AAC26702), and it has also been referred to as AGL29.
Experimental Observations
The function of G162 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G162 plants were wild-type in morphology and development. Overexpression of G162 resulted in a significant increase in oil content in seeds, as measured by NIR.
Potential Applications
G162 or its equivalogs may be used to increase seed oil content and manipulate seed protein content in crop plants.
G175 (SEQ ID NO: 19)
Published Information
G175 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone M3E9 (Gene AT4g26440/M3E9.130; GenBank accession number CAB79499).
Experimental Observations
The complete cDNA sequence of G175 was determined. The function of this gene was studied using transgenic plants in which G175 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G175 plants were more tolerant to osmotic stress conditions (better germination in NaCl- and sucrose-containing media). The plants were otherwise wild-type in morphology and development. Whereas some phenotypic changes were detected in the biochemical assays that were performed, these were not observed in more than one line.
G175 appeared to be specifically expressed in floral tissues, and also appeared to be induced elsewhere by heat and salt stress.
Potential Applications
G175 or its equivalogs can be used to increase germination under adverse osmotic stress conditions, which could impact survivability and yield. The promoter of G175 may be used to drive flower specific expression.
G180 (SEQ ID NO: 21)
Published Information
G180 was identified in the sequence of BAC F16B22 (GenBank accession number AC003672).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G180 was determined G180 was not annotated in the sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome II section 239 of 255 of the complete sequence (AC003672.2), where it resides between At2g44740 and At2g44750.
The function of G180 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
G180 overexpressing plants were early flowering, but did not exhibit other major developmental alterations. A number of Arabidopsis genes have already been shown to accelerate flowering when constitutively expressed. These include LEAFY, APETALA1 and CONSTANS. In these cases, however, the early flowering plants showed undesirable side effects such as extreme dwarfing, infertility, or premature termination of shoot meristem growth (Mandel et al. (1995) Nature 377:522-524; Weigel et al. (1995) 377: 495-500; Simon et al. (1996) Nature 384:59-62). It appeared that G180 induced flowering without these toxic pleiotropic effects.
G180 overexpressing lines also showed a decrease in seed oil content. That decrease was accompanied increased seed protein content in one of the three lines analyzed.
Potential Applications
G180 overexpression appeared to alter flowering time by accelerating the transition from vegetative to reproductive state. Therefore, G180 or its equivalogs may be used to manipulate flowering time in plants. In addition, G180 or its equivalogs can also have utility in modifying seed traits, particularly in modifying seed oil and protein levels in crop plants.
G183 (SEQ ID NO: 23)
Published Information
G183 corresponds to gene F20N2.3 (AAF79511).
Experimental Observations
The function of G183 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G183 resulted in an a reduction of the time to flowering.
Under continuous light conditions, 35S::G183 plants formed flower buds approximately 2-4 days earlier than wild-type control plants. Such a phenotype was seen in two separate plantings and in each of two independent T2 lines. Overexpression of G183 also resulted in seedlings with an altered response to light. In a germination assay conducted in darkness, G183 seedlings failed to show an etiolation response. However, the phenotype was severe in seedlings from one line where overexpression of the transgene resulted in reduced hypocotyl elongation and open, greenish cotyledons, but this line did not show alterations in flowering time in the T2 generation.
In addition to the effects on flowering time, 35S::G183 transformants were generally small, produced rather thin inflorescences, and had a low seed yield compared with wild type. Such effects were particularly apparent in some of the T1 plants. It should also be noted that the transformation rate attained with this transgene was relatively low, suggesting that G183 might have lethal effects at high dosages. Overexpression of G183 did not result in any biochemical phenotypic alteration.
According to the results obtained in the RT-PCR experiments, G183 was specifically expressed in flower, embryo, and silique tissues. It should be noted, however, that there have already been cases described of Arabidopsis transcription factor genes that were specifically expressed in flower-derived tissues but that can affect flowering time when their expression pattern is modified, including a homeobox gene long considered representing a true flowering time locus, FWA.
Potential Applications
G183 or its equivalogs may be used to modify flowering time and light response.
G183 or its equivalogs may alter a plant's light response and thus modify growth or development, for example, photomorphogenesis in poor light, or accelerating flowering time in response to various light intensities, quality or duration to which a non-transformed plant would not similarly respond, and increased planting densities with subsequent yield enhancement.
G188 (SEQ ID NO: 25)
Published Information
G188 corresponds to gene MXC20.3, first identified in the sequence of clone MXC20 (released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative; GenBank accession number AB009055).
Experimental Observations
The annotation of G188 in BAC AB009055 was experimentally confirmed. G188 was expressed in all tissues and under all conditions examined.
A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G188 was initially used to characterize the function of this gene. In such line, the T-DNA insertion in G188 was localized in the second intron of the gene, located in the middle of the conserved WRKY box. Such insertion would result in a null mutation (unless the large fragment of exogenous sequence is perfectly spliced out from the transcribed G188 pre-mRNA). G188 mutant plants displayed several phenotypic alterations in physiological assays. G188 knockout mutant seed germinated better than wild-type controls under several kinds of osmotic stress. G188 knockout plants also showed higher susceptibility to the necrotroph fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum compared with control plants (more disease spread after infection). No significant morphological changes were observed in G188 knockout plants.
The function of G188 was subsequently analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G188 overexpressing plants were morphologically wild-type, and indistinguishable from the corresponding controls in all physiological and biochemical assays that were performed. Overexpression of G188 did not increase resistance to Fusarium oxysporum. 
Further experiments to characterize G188 function can include testing the plant (knockout or overexpressor) to different doses of the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, as well as more sophisticated gene expression profiling experiments.
Potential Applications
G188 or its equivalogs can be used to enhance seed germination under adverse osmotic conditions. G188 appears to be involved in the plant's response to Fusarium oxysporum and thus it may be used to manipulate such responses.
G189 (SEQ ID NO: 27)
Published Information
G189 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone T20D16 (gene At2g23320/T20D16.5, GenBank accession number AAB87100).
Experimental Observations
The function of G189 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. T1 G189 overexpressing plants showed leaves of larger area than wild type. This phenotype, which was observed in two different T1 plantings, became more apparent at late vegetative development. T2 plants were morphologically wild-type. In wild-type plants, G189 was constitutively expressed.
G189 overexpressing plants were wild-type in all the physiological analyses performed.
Potential Applications
G189 or its equivalogs can be used to increase plant biomass. Large size is useful in crops where the vegetative portion of the plant is the marketable portion since vegetative growth often stops when plants make the transition to flowering.
G192 (SEQ ID NO: 29)
Published Information
G192 corresponds to gene A_IG002N01.6, first identified in the sequence of BAC clone A_IG002N01 (released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative; GenBank accession number AF007269).
Experimental Observations
The annotation of G192 in BAC AF007269 was experimentally confirmed. G192 was expressed in all plant tissues and under all conditions examined. Its expression was induced upon infection by Fusarium. 
The function of G192 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G192 overexpressors were late flowering under 12 hour light and had more leaves than control plants. This phenotype was manifested in the three T2 lines analyzed. In addition, one line showed a decrease in seed oil content. No other differences between G192 overexpressing lines and control plants were noted in the assays performed.
A decrease in seed oil observed previously in one transgenic line was replicated in an independent experiment.
Potential Applications
G192 overexpression delayed flowering. A wide variety of applications exist for genes or their equivalogs that either lengthen or shorten the time to flowering, or for systems of inducible flowering time control. In particular, in species where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues were discarded, it would be advantageous to delay or prevent flowering. Extending vegetative development may bring about large increases in yields.
G192 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate seed oil content, which might be of nutritional value.
G196 (SEQ ID NO: 31)
Published Information
G196 corresponds to gene At2g34830 (AAC12823).
Experimental Observations
The function of G196 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G196 plants show more tolerance to salt stress in a germination assay. Overexpression of G196 also produced a range of effects on plant morphology including a reduction in overall size, lowered fertility and changes in leaf shape. T1 seedlings were typically small, often had abnormal shaped cotyledons, and the rosette leaves produced by these plants were often undersized, contorted and darker green compared with wild type. Later in development, during the reproductive stage, the plants formed thin inflorescences bearing poorly fertile flowers with underdeveloped organs. 35S::G196 primary transformants were obtained at a relatively low frequency, suggesting that the gene might have lethal effects if overexpressed at very high levels.
35S::G196 plants were wild-type in the biochemical analyses that were performed. G196 was ubiquitously expressed (and different levels among the various tissues).
Potential Applications
G196 or its equivalogs may be used to improve plant performance under conditions of salt stress. Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds were placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration that is higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant may impact survivability and yield.
G211 (SEQ ID NO: 33)
Published Information
G211 corresponds to Atmyb5 (U26935; Li et al. (1996) FEBS Lett 379:117-121). Arabidopsis plants transgenic for a chimeric Atmyb5 promoter/GUS gene expressed the enzyme in developing leaf trichomes, stipules, epidermal cells on the margins of young rosette and cauline leaves, and in immature seeds. In immature seeds, Atmyb5 expression occurs between fertilization and the 16 cell stage of embryo development and persists beyond the heart stage.
Experimental Observations
The function of G211 was investigated using a homozygous mutant line in which a T-DNA was inserted into the coding region of the gene as well as using transgenic lines in which G211 is expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of the G211 knockout mutant plants was wild-type in all respects. Overexpression of G211, however, had marked effects on leaf and inflorescence development. 35S::G211 plants were generally small, slow developing, and produced rounded, slightly serrated leaves, with very short petioles. Additionally these plants were dark green in coloration, and in some cases, appeared to have reduced trichome density. Following the switch to reproductive growth, 35S::G211 inflorescences had short internodes and showed a general reduction in apical dominance, leading to a bushy appearance. In many cases, due to the small size, seed yield was reduced compared with wild-type controls. These effects were highly penetrant and were apparent in the majority of T1 lines and, to some extent, in each of the three T2 populations. An increase in leaf xylose in two lines was also observed in the T2 35S::G211 transgenics.
As determined by RT-PCR, expression of G211 was found primarily in embryos and siliques. G211 expression in leaf tissue was unaffected by any environmental stress-related condition tested.
Potential Applications
G211 overexpression resulted in plants with altered leaf insoluble sugar content. Transcription factors such as G211 or their equivalogs that alter plant cell wall composition have several potential applications including altering food digestibility, plant tensile strength, wood quality, pathogen resistance and in pulp production.
In particular, hemicellulose is not desirable in paper pulps because of its lack of strength compared with cellulose. Thus, modulating the amounts of cellulose vs. hemicellulose in the plant cell wall is desirable for the paper/lumber industry. Increasing the insoluble carbohydrate content in various fruits, vegetables, and other edible consumer products will result in enhanced fiber content. Increased fiber content would not only provide health benefits in food products, but might also increase digestibility of forage crops. In addition, the hemicellulose and pectin content of fruits and berries affects the quality of jam and catsup made from them. Changes in hemicellulose and pectin content could result in a superior consumer product.
G214 (SEQ ID NO: 35)
Published Information
G214 (CCA1) was published by Wang et al. (1997) Plant Cell 9: 491-507. CCA1 is involved in phytochrome induction of CAB genes. The transcript is transiently induced by phytochrome and oscillates with a circadian rhythm. It feedback-regulates its own expression at the transcriptional level. Overexpressing CCA1 abolished circadian rhythm of several genes and results in plants that were late flowering, and have elongated hypocotyls.
Experimental Observations
G214 overexpressing lines were late bolting, show larger biomass (increased leaf number and size), and were darker green in vegetative and reproductive tissues due to a higher chlorophyll content in the later stages of development. In these later stages, the overexpressors also have higher insoluble sugar, leaf fatty acid, and carotenoid content per unit area. Line #11 also showed a significant, repeatable increase in lutein levels in seeds. Microarray data was consistent with the morphological and biochemical data in that the genes that were highly induced included chloroplast localized enzymes, and light regulated genes such as Rubisco, carbonic anhydrase, and the photosystem 1 reaction center subunit precursor. A chlorophyll biosynthetic enzyme was also highly induced, consistent with the dark green color of the adult leaves and perhaps a higher photosynthetic rate. A measurement of leaf fatty acid in the older overexpressors suggested that the overall levels were higher than wild-type levels (except for the percent composition of 16:3 in line #11). Percent composition of 16:1 and 16:3 fatty acids (found primarily in plastids) is similar to wild type arguing against an increase in chloroplast number as an explanation for increase chlorophyll content in the leaves. Three G214-overexpressing lines were sensitive to germination on high glucose showing less cotyledon expansion and hypocotyl elongation suggesting the late bolting and dark green phenotype could be tied into carbon sensing which has been shown to regulate phytochrome A signaling (Dijkwel et al. (1997) Plant Cell 9:583-595; Van Oosten et al. (1997) Plant J. 12:1011-1020). Sugars are key regulatory molecules that affect diverse processes in higher plants including germination, growth, flowering, senescence, sugar metabolism and photosynthesis. Glucose-specific hexose-sensing has also been described in plants and implicated in cell division and the repression of famine genes (photosynthetic or glyoxylate cycles).
Potential Applications
Potential utilities of this gene or its equivalogs include increasing chlorophyll content allowing more growth and productivity in conditions of low light. With a potentially higher photosynthetic rate, fruits can have higher sugar content. Increased carotenoid content may be used as a nutraceutical to produce foods with greater antioxidant capability. G214 or its equivalogs can also be used to manipulate seed composition, which is very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G214 overexpression delayed flowering time in transgenic plants, and thus this gene or its equivalogs would be useful in modifying flowering time. In a sizeable number of species, for example, root crops, where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues were discarded, it is advantageous to identify and incorporate transcription factor genes that delay or prevent flowering in order to prevent resources being diverted into reproductive development. Extending vegetative development can thus bring about large increases in yields.
G226 (SEQ ID NO: 37)
Published Information
G226 was identified from the Arabidopsis BAC sequence, AC002338, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other Myb family members in Arabidopsis. To date, there is no published information regarding the function of this gene.
Experimental Observations
The function of G226 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G226 overexpressors were more tolerant to low nitrogen and high salt stress. They showed more root growth and possibly more root hairs under conditions of nitrogen limitation compared with wild-type controls. Many plants were glabrous and lacked anthocyanin production when under stress such as growth conditions of low nitrogen and high salt. Several G226 overexpressors were glabrous and produce less anthocyanin under stress; these effects might be due to binding site competition with other Myb family transcription factors involved in these functions and not directly related to the primary function of this gene.
Results from the biochemical analysis of G226 overexpressors suggested that one line had higher amounts of seed protein, which could have been a result of increased nitrogen uptake by these plants.
A microarray experiment was done on a separate G226 overexpressing line. The G226 sequence itself was overexpressed 16-fold above wild type, however, very few changes in other gene expression were observed in this line. On the array, a chlorate/nitrate transporter DNA sequence was induced 2.7-fold over wild type, which could explain the low nitrogen tolerant phenotype of the plants and the increased amounts of seed protein in one of the lines. The same DNA sequence was present several times on the array and in all cases the DNA sequence showed induction, adding more validity to the data. Five other genes/DNA sequences induced but had unknown function. A methyltransferase, a pollen-specific protein, and a zinc binding peroxisomal membrane protein encoding sequences were also induced, however their role in regard to the phenotype of the plants is not known.
Potential Applications
The utilities of a gene or its equivalogs conferring tolerance to conditions of low nitrogen include: (1) Cost savings to the farmer by reducing the amounts of fertilizer needed; (2) Environmental benefits of reduced fertilizer runoff; (3) Improved yield and stress tolerance. In addition, G226 can be used to increase seed protein amounts and/or composition, which may impact yield as well as the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G226 or its equivalogs can be used to alter trichome number and distribution in plants. Trichome glands on the surface of many higher plants produce and secrete exudates, which give protection from the elements and pests such as insects, microbes and herbivores. These exudates may physically immobilize insects and spores, may be insecticidal or antimicrobial or they may allergens or irritants to protect against herbivores. It has also been suggested that trichomes may decrease transpiration by decreasing leaf surface airflow, and by exuding chemicals that protect the leaf from the sun.
G241 (SEQ ID NO: 39)
Published Information
G241 is equivalent to Y19 (X90384), a putative light regulated Myb that was identified by Quaedvlieg et al. (1996) Plant Mol. Biol. 32:987-993. The Myb Consortium renamed this gene MYB15 and found that it was constitutively expressed at a low level with expression higher in etiolated seedlings (Kranz et al. (1998) Plant J. 16:263-276).
Experimental Observations
The function of G241 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants as well as through the analysis of a line homozygous for a knockout mutation in G241. The knockout mutant plants were wild-type in all assays performed. G241 overexpressors had a glucose germination phenotype suggesting these plants could be involved in glucose-specific sugar sensing.
Results from the biochemical analysis of G241 knockouts showed that a lower amount of seed oil and an increase in seed protein.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G241 showed the gene is expressed in all tissue types tested.
Results from an array experiment using a G241 overexpressor line were consistent with expression in seeds. Several gene sequences were induced that could be involved in osmotic stress tolerance or desiccation tolerance, which are important for germinating seeds. In this experiment, the G241 DNA sequence itself was induced 38-fold. Many of the induced genes were transcription factors with unknown function. Both CBF1 and CBF2 (involved in freezing tolerance) were up-regulated. As mentioned above, several genes indicative of osmotic stress tolerance were also up-regulated. These same gene sequences were up-regulated on arrays of plants treated with mannitol as an osmotic stress, in a CBF2 overexpressor, and in cold-acclimated plants. A glucose transporter sequence was also up-regulated, however, this gene sequence is not up-regulated in any of the other arrays mentioned above. The phenotype of the overexpressor was reduced seedling growth on high glucose. It is possible that the plants were taking up more glucose. In such a scenario, the gene is not likely to be involved in sugar sensing but rather the high glucose condition is inhibiting their growth. The G241 overexpressors were tested for osmotic stress tolerance using mannitol. It is possible the glucose transporter is increasing mannitol uptake and increasing its toxicity to the plant as well. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an alternative osmoticum that can be tested at various concentrations.
Potential Applications
One potential utility of this gene or its equivalogs can be to engineer plants that are tolerant to stress. This can greatly impact yield. Alternatively, if this gene is involved in sugar sensing, the potential utility of a gene involved in glucose-specific sugar sensing is to alter energy balance, photosynthetic rate, biomass production, and senescence. Sugars are key regulatory molecules that affect diverse processes in higher plants including germination, growth, stress responses, flowering, senescence, sugar metabolism and photosynthesis. Glucose-specific hexose-sensing has been described in plants and implicated in cell division, and repression of famine genes (photosynthetic or glyoxylate cycles). This gene may also be used to alter oil and protein production in seeds, which may be very important for the nutritional quality and caloric content of foods.
G248 (SEQ ID NO: 41)
Published Information
G248 was identified at Mendel Biotechnology. Kranz et al. ((1998) Plant J. 16:263-276) published a cDNA sequence corresponding to G248, naming it MYB22.
Experimental Observations
The function of G248 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type with respect to their morphology. However, overexpression of G248 in Arabidopsis was found to confer greater sensitivity to disease, particularly following infection by Botrytis cinerea. All three lines show the susceptible phenotype.
As determined by RT-PCR, G248 appears to be expressed at low levels in embryo and silique tissue. No expression was detected in other tissues. G248 appears to be induced in response to salicylic acid (SA) treatment. It is well know that both synergistic and antagonistic crosstalk between growth regulator controlled defense pathways occurs in response to disease.
Potential Applications
Since G248 transgenic plants had an altered response to the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea, G248 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G254 (SEQ ID NO: 43)
Published Information
G254 was identified from the Arabidopsis BAC sequence, AF007269, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved Myb domain to other Myb family members in Arabidopsis. 
Experimental Observations
The function of G254 was analyzed through the ectopic overexpression of the gene in plants. Overexpression of G254 resulted in a reduction of germination and reduced seedling growth on glucose containing media. G254 may be involved in sugar sensing.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G254 indicated that this gene was expressed in all tissues tested. A cDNA microarray experiment supported the tissue distribution data by RT-PCR. There was no induction of G254 above its basal level in response to environmental stress treatments. G254 was constitutively expressed.
Potential Applications
The potential utility of G254 or its equivalogs is to alter source-sink relationships in the plant. Sugars are key regulatory molecules that affect diverse processes in higher plants including germination, growth, flowering, senescence, sugar metabolism, and photosynthesis. Sucrose is the major transport form of photosynthate and its flux through cells has been shown to affect gene expression and alter storage compound accumulation in seeds (source-sink relationships). The potential utilities of a gene involved in glucose-specific sugar sensing are to alter energy balance, photosynthetic rate, carbohydrate accumulation, biomass production, source-sink relationships, and senescence. Glucose-specific hexose-sensing has been described in plants and implicated in cell division and the repression of ‘famine’ genes (photosynthetic or glyoxylate cycles).
G256 (SEQ ID NO: 45)
Published Information
G256 is equivalent to Y13, a gene that was identified by Quaedvlieg et al. ((1996) Plant Mol. Biol. 32:987-093) as being induced in etiolated seedlings one hour after being exposed to light. The Myb consortium has renamed this gene MYB31. Quaedvlieg et al. (1996, supra) found a low level of expression in stem and silique tissue with no induction in etiolated seedlings after being exposed to light. However, there was also a slight induction of G256 following cold treatment.
Experimental Observations
The function of G256 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G256 overexpressors had enhanced seedling vigor during cold germination. These overexpressing lines were more tolerant to chilling conditions compared to wild-type controls, as seen in 12-day-old seedlings that were transferred to cold temperatures (8° C.).
There was no difference in germination rate under normal growth conditions. The chilling tolerant phenotype is most noticeable with respect to enhanced root growth although the cotyledons show less anthocyanin production than wild-type controls.
Plants overexpressing G256 were also small and early bolting. In the T2, one line lacked the waxy surface on the bolts. Three lines were tolerant to cold germination and therefore co-suppression was not a likely cause of the morphological change observed in one line. An array experiment was performed on this G256 overexpressing line. The gene itself was induced 3.5-fold over wild-type levels. Very few additional gene sequences were significantly induced in response to G256 overexpression. Induced genes included four gene sequences of unknown function, a sugar carrier sequence, a cell wall degrading enzyme (BGL2) sequence, pectinesterase sequence, and a proteasome subunit protein sequence. Expression of gene sequences such as allene oxidase sequence (which could mean down-regulation of the associated jasmonate synthesis pathway), and endochitinase were repressed. RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G256 indicated that this gene sequence was expressed primarily in shoots, flowers, and siliques. A cDNA microarray experiment confirmed this tissue distribution data by RT-PCR. There was no induction of G256 in leaves or in seedlings in response to environmental stress treatments.
Potential Applications
The potential utility of this gene or its equivalogs is to confer better germination and growth in the cold. The germination of many crops is very sensitive to cold temperatures. A gene that would allow germination and seedling vigor in the cold would have tremendous utility in allowing seeds to be planted earlier in the season with a high rate of survivability.
G278 (SEQ ID NO: 47)
Published Information
G278 was identified by amino acid sequence similarity to plant and mammalian ankyrin-repeat proteins. G278 is on chromosome 1 BAC F15H21 (GenBank accession number AC066689.5; nid=12323462), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The transcription start/stop codon was correctly predicted. G278 is referred to in the public literature as NPR1, a gene that controls the onset of systemic acquired resistance in plant (Cao et al. (1997) Cell 88:57-63; Cao et al. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 95:6531-6536).
It was shown that a 2-3-fold overexpression of 35S::NPR1 over basal wild-type expression level results in transgenic plants resistant to the bacterial pathogen Psm ES4326 and the oomycete Peronospora parasitica Noco. An inducing signal (SA, INA, or a pathogen infection) is necessary for the expression of the phenotype and downstream induction of pathogen-related proteins.
Experimental Observations
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous level of G278 transcripts revealed that G278 was present at moderate, constitutive level in all tissues examined G278 expression levels were similar to the wild-type control in all the biotic/abiotic treatments examined. The function of G278 was analyzed in transgenic plants overexpressing G278 under the control of the 35S promoter. Transformants were morphologically indistinguishable from wild-type plants. Plants overexpressing G278 were more susceptible to infection with the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum when compared with control plants. The experiment was confirmed on individual lines. Transgenic G278 overexpressing lines were similar to control wild-type plant when challenged with Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum. 
Data in the public literature indicated that G278/NPR1 plays an important role in mediating the onset of systemic acquired resistance in plant. Dual resistance of a 35S::NPR1 transgenic plants to bacterial and fungal pathogen suggested that G278/NPR1 may be key to the generation of broad-spectrum resistance in plant. The 35S::G278 overexpressor experimental data indicated that overexpressing G278 had little effect in improving resistance following infection with necrotrophic pathogens (Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum). In fact, reduced tolerance of the transgenic 35S::NPR1 plant to infection with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was observed. Although we cannot rule out the possibility of co-suppression in transgenic T2 lines tested, it is likely that that resistance to necrotrophic pathogens is mediated by different pathway than the SA/SAR pathway. Overexpression of G278 may directly or indirectly introduces competition for co-factor(s) or results in biochemical interference, which may be detrimental for proper development of resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. 
Potential Applications
35S::G278 overexpression in Arabidopsis was shown to affect the onset of disease following inoculation with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Therefore, G278 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the defense response in plants.
G291 (SEQ ID NO: 49)
Published Information
G291 is referred to in the public literature as the Arabidopsis AJH1, a plant homolog of the c-Jun coactivator. AJH1 was isolated by peptide sequencing of a subunit of the COP9 complex, an important component in light-mediated signal transduction in Arabidopsis. It is postulated that the COP9 complex may modulate the activities of transcription factors in response to environmental stimuli. Localization experiment reveals that AJH1 was present in monomeric form, which suggested a possible involvement in other developmentally regulated processes (Kwok et al. (1998) Plant Cell 10:1779-1790). G291 is found in the sequence of the chromosome 1 BAC F19G10 (GenBank accession AF000657.1 GI:2098816), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The start and stop codons were correctly predicted.
Experimental Observations
The expression profile of G291 revealed a low, but constitutive, expression of G291 transcripts in all tissues examined G291 transcript levels were similar to the wild-type controls in all the physiological treatments examined as determined by RT-PCR analysis.
G291 overexpressors produced significantly more seed oil than wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G291 or its equivalogs can be used to increase seed oil content, which may be of nutritional value for food for human consumption as well as animal feeds.
G303 (SEQ ID NO: 51)
Published Information
G303 corresponds to gene MNA5.5 (BAB11554.1).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G303 was determined G303 was detected at very low levels in roots and rosette leaves.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G303 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G303 overexpressing plants had more tolerance to osmotic stress in a germination assay in three separate experiments. They had more seedling vigor than wild-type control when germinated on plates containing high salt and high sucrose. No altered morphological or biochemical phenotypes were detected in G303 overexpressing plants.
Potential Applications
G303 or its equivalogs may be useful for enhancing seed germination under high salt conditions or other conditions of osmotic stress. Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant would impact survivability and yield. G303 can also be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G312 (SEQ ID NO: 53)
Published Information
G312 corresponds to a predicted SCWERECROW gene regulator in annotated P1 clone MUD21 (AB010700), from chromosome 5 of Arabidopsis (Kaneko et al. (1998) DNA Res. 5: 131-145).
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G312 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Transgenic plants overexpressing G312 were more salt tolerant than wild-type plants, as determined by a germination assay on MS media supplemented with 150 mM NaCl. G312 was constitutively expressed at very low levels in all tissues tested. Expression of G312 did not appear to be induced by any of the environmental or stress conditions tested.
Potential Applications
Transgenic plants overexpressing G312 germinated better in a high salt environment than control plants. These data suggested that G312 or its equivalogs can be used to create crop plants that are more tolerant of high salt conditions. Better germination in high salt conditions is desirable because, in the field, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile. This is because evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant would impact survivability and yield.
G325 (SEQ ID NO: 55)
Published Information
G325 was identified as a gene in the sequence of chromosome 4, ESSA I FCA contig fragment No. 3 (GenBank Accession number Z97338), released by the European Union Arabidopsis Sequencing Project.
Experimental Observations
The function of G325 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G325 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G325 overexpressing plants had more tolerance to osmotic stress in a germination assay in three separate experiments. They had more seedling vigor than wild-type control when germinated on plates containing high salt and high sucrose. No altered morphological phenotypes or altered phenotypes in the biochemical assays were observed.
G325 was expressed at high levels in flowers and cauline leaves, and at lower levels in shoots, rosette leaves, and seedlings. G325 was induced by auxin, cold- and heat-stress. The expression of G325 also was reduced in response to Fusarium infection or salicylic acid treatment.
Potential Applications
G325 or its equivalogs may be useful for enhancing seed germination under high salt conditions or other conditions of osmotic stress. Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant would impact survivability and yield.
G325 or its equivalogs can also be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing, at later stages.
G343 (SEQ ID NO: 59)
Published Information
G343 was identified as GATA-2 (accession number Y13649) by homology to other GATA transcription factors.
Experimental Observations
RT-PCR and microarray data analysis of the endogenous levels of G343 indicated that this gene was ubiquitously expressed in all tissues albeit predominantly in seedling. In addition, G343 was repressed in response to treatment with Erysiphe and Fusarium. 
The function of G343 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G343 overexpressors grew very poorly on soil, and T2 plants were not propagated for biochemical analysis. On the other hand, G343 overexpressors grew as well as wild-type controls on MS media, where they exhibited an increase in tolerance to glyphosate and oxidative stress. G343 T2 plants were rescued from the control plates, propagated to the next generation, and tested again on glyphosate plates where they exhibited the same resistance phenotype. Additional T2 lines were obtained and tested. A fourth line also showed a striking tolerance to glyphosate, though two other lines exhibited a slight increase in susceptibility to glyphosate. These opposite effects in the T2 lines might be caused by silencing of the gene. It would, therefore, be very interesting to determine the phenotype of G343 knockouts in glyphosate-resistance assays.
Potential Applications
G343 or its equivalogs can be used for the generation of glyphosate resistant plants, and to increase plant resistance to oxidative stress.
G353 (SEQ ID NO: 59)
Published Information
G353 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone MMN10, GenBank accession number AB0154751, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. G353 corresponds to RHL41 (Kazuoka et al. (2000) Plant J. 24:191-203) and Zat12 (Meissner et al. (1997) Plant Mol. Biol. 33:615-624). Transgenic Arabidopsis plants over-expressing the RHL41 gene showed an increased tolerance to high-intensity light, and also morphological changes of thicker and dark green leaves. The palisade parenchyma was highly developed in the leaves of the transgenic plants. Anthocyanin content, as well as the chlorophyll content, also increased. Antisense transgenic plants exhibited decreased tolerance to high irradiation. RHL41 protein may play a key role in the acclimatization response to changes in light intensity.
Experimental Observations
G353 was uniformly expressed in all tissues and under all conditions tested in RT-PCR experiments. The highest level of expression was observed in rosette leaves, embryos, and siliques. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G353 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G353 in resulted in enhanced tolerance to osmotic stress in one transgenic line. The most dramatic effect of overexpression of G353 was observed in flower morphology. 35S::G353 plants had a reduction in flower pedicel length, and downward pointing siliques. This phenotype was very similar to that described for the brevipedicellus (bp) mutant (Koornneef et al. (1983) J. Hered. 74:265-272) and in overexpression of a related gene, G354. Other morphological changes in shoots were also observed in 35S::G353 plants. Leaves had short petioles, were rather flat, rounded, and sometimes showed changes in coloration. These effects were observed in varying degrees in the majority of transformants. Severely affected plants were tiny, had contorted leaves, poor fertility, and produced few seeds. Overexpression of G353 in Arabidopsis resulted in an increase in seed glucosinolate M39494 in two T2 lines.
Potential Applications
G353 or its equivalogs can be used to alter inflorescence structure, which may have value in production of novel ornamental plants.
G353 or its equivalogs can be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and, therefore, be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
Increases or decreases in specific glucosinolates or total glucosinolate content may be desirable depending upon the particular application. For example: (1) Glucosinolates are undesirable components of the oilseeds used in animal feed, since they produce toxic effects. Low-glucosinolate varieties of canola have been developed to combat this problem; (2) Some glucosinolates have anti-cancer activity; thus, increasing the levels or composition of these compounds might be of interest from a nutraceutical standpoint; (3) Glucosinolates form part of a plants natural defense against insects; modification of glucosinolate composition or quantity could therefore afford increased protection from predators; furthermore, in edible crops, tissue specific promoters might be used to ensure that these compounds accumulate specifically in tissues, such as the epidermis, which are not taken for consumption.
G354 (SEQ ID NO: 61)
Published Information
G354 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone F12M12, GenBank accession number AL355775, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. G354 corresponds to ZAT7 (Meissner et al. Plant Mol. Biol. 33:615-624).
Experimental Observations
Greatest levels of expression of G354 were observed in rosette leaves, embryos, and siliques. Some expression of G354 was also observed in flowers.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G353 was overexpressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G354 plants had a reduction in flower pedicel length, and downward pointing siliques. This phenotype was very similar to that described for the brevipedicellus (bp) mutant (Koornneef et al. (1983) J. Hered. 74:265-272) and in overexpression of a related gene, G353. Other morphological changes in shoots were also observed in 35S::G354 plants. Many 35S::G354 seedlings had abnormal cotyledons, elongated, thickened hypocotyls, and short roots. The majority of T1 plants had a very extreme phenotype, were tiny, and arrested development without forming inflorescences. T1 plants showing more moderate effects had poor seed yield.
Overexpression of G354 in Arabidopsis resulted in seedlings with an altered response to light. In darkness, G354 seedlings failed to etiolate. The phenotype was most severe in seedlings from one line where overexpression of the transgene resulted in reduced open and greenish cotyledons.
Potential Applications
G354 or its equivalogs can be used to alter inflorescence structure, which may have value in production of novel ornamental plants.
G354 modifies the light response and thus G354 or its equivalogs may be useful for modifying plant growth or development, for example, photomorphogenesis in poor light, or accelerating flowering time in response to various light intensities, quality or duration to which a non-transformed plant would not similarly respond. Elimination of shading responses may lead to increased planting densities with subsequent yield enhancement.
G361 (SEQ ID NO: 63)
Published Information
G361 was first isolated by Tague et al. ((1995) Plant Mol. Biol. 28:267-279) in an effort to study the sequence and the expression pattern of C2H2 zinc finger protein encoding genes in Arabidopsis (Takatsuji (1998) Cell. Mol. Life. Sci. 54:582-596). The latter study showed that G361 (ZFP6) was mostly expressed in roots and shoots based on Northern analysis.
Experimental Observations
A full-length cDNA was isolated and used to transform plants. G361 overexpressors were small and very late bolting. The plants did not show any physiological phenotype. G361 overexpressing plants had increased levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The phenotype could be related to the darker green color of the plants and their possible higher chlorophyll content (repeat of analysis also in progress). Higher 16:3 fatty acid content, in particular, could be a reflection of a higher chloroplast number or more chloroplast membranes. RT-PCR data showed that the gene was expressed mostly in shoots and in roots at low levels.
Potential Applications
The late-flowering phenotype of G361 or its equivalogs is useful in that late flowering is desirable in crops where the vegetative portion of the plant is harvested (often vegetative growth stops when plants make the transition to flowering). In this case, it can be advantageous to prevent or delay flowering in order to increase yield. Also, prevention of flowering can be useful in these same crops in order to prevent the spread of transgenic pollen and/or to prevent seed set. In any case, the overexpressors were clearly smaller, an undesirable phenotype which has to be corrected before overexpression of the gene can lead to any useful crop product.
G362 (SEQ ID NO: 65)
Published Information
G362 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone T10024, GenBank accession number AC007067, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G362 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G362 had a number of developmental effects with the most prominent result being an increase in trichome number as well as the ectopic formation of trichomes. Overexpression of G362 also increased anthocyanin levels in various tissues at different stages of growth. Seedlings sometimes showed high levels of pigment in the first true leaves. Late flowering lines also became darkly pigmented. Seeds from a number of lines were observed to develop patches of dark purple pigmentation. Inflorescences from 35S::G362 plants were thin, and flowers sometimes displayed poorly developed organs. The seed yield from many lines was somewhat poor. 35S::G362 transgenic plants showed no phenotypic alterations in response to the physiological or biochemical analyses performed.
As determined by RT-PCR, G362 was expressed in roots, and was expressed at significantly lower levels in siliques, seedlings, and shoots. No expression of G362 was detected in the other tissues tested. G362 expression was induced in rosette leaves by heat stress.
Potential Applications
G362 or its equivalogs can be used to alter anthocyanin production. The utilities of this gene includes alterations in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly increasing stress resistance in combination with another transcription factor.
G362 or its equivalogs can be used to delay flowering in transgenic plants. This can have useful implications in crop plants. In species such as sugarbeet where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues were discarded, it would be advantageous to delay or prevent flowering. In addition, extending vegetative development could have a beneficial effect on yield, since the plants have a longer time to build up their photosynthetic capacity. This in turn can translate into larger accumulations of storage products.
G362 or its equivalogs can be used to alter trichome number and distribution in plants. Trichome glands on the surface of many higher plants produce and secrete exudates, which give protection from the elements and pests such as insects, microbes and herbivores. These exudates may physically immobilize insects and spores, may be insecticidal or anti-microbial or they may allergens or irritants to protect against herbivores. Trichome have also been suggested to decrease transpiration by decreasing leaf surface air flow, and by exuding chemicals that protect the leaf from the sun.
Another utility for G362 or its equivalogs is to increase the density of cotton fibers in cotton bolls. Cotton fibers are modified unicellular trichomes that are produced from the ovule epidermis. Typically only 30% of the epidermal cells take on a trichome fate (Basra et al. (1984) Int. Rev. Cytol. 89:65-113). Thus cotton yields might be increased by inducing a greater proportion of the ovule epidermal cells to become fibers.
Depending on the plant species, varying amounts of diverse secondary biochemicals (often lipophilic terpenes) are produced and exuded or volatilized by trichomes. These exotic secondary biochemicals, which are relatively easy to extract because they are on the surface of the leaf, have been widely used in such products as flavors and aromas, drugs, pesticides, and cosmetics. One class of secondary metabolites, the diterpenes, can effect several biological systems such as tumor progression, prostaglandin synthesis, and tissue inflammation. In addition, diterpenes can act as insect pheromones, termite allomones, and can exhibit neurotoxic, cytotoxic and antimitotic activities. As a result of this functional diversity, diterpenes have been the target of research several pharmaceutical ventures. In most cases where the metabolic pathways were impossible to engineer, increasing trichome density or size on leaves may be the only way to increase plant productivity.
Thus, the use of G362 and its homologs to increase trichome density, size, or type may therefore have profound utilities in so called molecular farming practices (for example, the use of trichomes as a manufacturing system for complex secondary metabolites), and in producing insect-resistant and herbivore-resistant plants.
G371 (SEQ ID NO: 67)
Published Information
G371 was identified as the published gene A-RZF accession number U81598, expressed preferentially in seed development (Zou et al. (1997) Gene 196:291-295).
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G371 was experimentally determined and the function of G371 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G371 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G371 appeared to be more sensitive to Botrytis infection. No altered morphological or biochemical phenotypes were observed for G371 overexpressing plants.
The function of this gene was also studied by knockout analysis. The phenotype of the G371 knockout was wild-type for all assays performed.
Array analysis of endogenous levels of G371 indicated that this gene was expressed predominantly in embryos, consistent with its published expression pattern. There was no change in the expression of this gene in response to environmental stress according to RT-PCR data. However, according to array data, this gene was induced 4-fold in response to Erysiphe infection, its expression was not affected by infection with Fusarium, and it was repressed 3-fold after a 12 hour treatment at 4° C.
Potential Applications
Because G371 confers sensitivity to Botrytis, this gene or its equivalogs has utility in producing pathogen resistant plants.
G390 (SEQ ID NO: 69)
Published Information
G390 was isolated by Ruzza et al. (GenBank Accession: CAD29544, gi:20069421) using degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to a conserved 6 amino acid sequence from the helix-3 region of athb-1 and athb-2. It was named athb-9. The published Northern blot showed slightly higher level of expression in stems, and lower levels in leaves, flowers, roots, and siliques. The G390 protein shares very extensive amino acid identity with other HD-ZIP class III proteins that exist in Arabidopsis (for example, G391 and G438). HD-ZIP class III proteins are known to have complex roles in determining meristem development, vascular tissue formation, and stem lignification (Baima et al. (1995) Development 12:4171-4182; Baima et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:643-655; Talbert et al. (1995) Development 121:2723-2735; Thong et al. (1997) Plant Cell 9:2159-2170; Sessa et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38:609-622; Zhong et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:2139-2152; Ratcliffe et al. (2000) Plant Cell 12:315-317; and Otsuga et al. (2001) Plant J. 25:223-236).
Experimental Observations
Fourteen 35S::G390 T1 lines were obtained which displayed a consistent morphological phenotype; the majority of these plants were slightly small, had abnormal phyllotaxy, and exhibited stem bifurcations in which shoot meristems split to form two or three separate shoots. Additionally, a significant number of these extra T1 lines flowered earlier than controls. Comparable effects were obtained by overexpression of G391.
Potential Applications
The overexpression data suggest that G390 or its equivalogs has utility in the manipulation of shoot architecture. Additionally, since a number of the 35S::G390 lines flowered early, this gene or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate flowering time.
G391 (SEQ ID NO: 71)
Published Information
G391, also known as Athb-14, was isolated based on its homology with a previously identified homeobox containing gene, Athb-8 (G392). The full-length cDNAs encode proteins of 852 amino acids. Athb-8, -9 and -14 (G392, G390, and G391, respectively) are members of a small family of HD-Zip proteins (HD-ZIP III) characterized by a HD-Zip motif confined to the N-terminus of the polypeptide. The spatial organization of the HD-Zip domain of Athb-8, -9 and -14 is different from that of the Athb-1 (G409, a member of the HD-ZIP I family) and Athb-2 (G400, a member of the HD-ZIP II family) HD-Zip domains. DNA binding analysis performed with random-sequence DNA templates showed that the Athb-9 HD-Zip (HD-Zip-9) domain, but not the Athb-9 HD alone, binds to DNA. The HD-Zip-9 domain recognizes a 11 bp pseudopalindromic sequence (GTAAT(G/C)ATTAC) as determined by selecting high-affinity binding sites from random-sequence DNA. Moreover, gel retardation assays demonstrated that the HD-Zip-9 domain binds to DNA as a dimer. These data supported the notion that the HD-ZIP III domain interacts with DNA recognition elements in a fashion similar to the HD-ZIP I and II domains.
The G391 protein shares very extensive amino acid identity with other HD-ZIP class III proteins that exist in Arabidopsis (for example, G390 and G438). These genes are known to have complex roles in determining meristem development, vascular tissue formation, and stem lignification (Baima et al. (1995) Development 12:4171-4182; Baima et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:643-655; Talbert et al. (1995) Development 121:2723-2735; Thong et al. (1997) Plant Cell 9:2159-2170; Sessa et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38:609-622; Zhong et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:2139-2152; Ratcliffe et al. (2000) Plant Cell 12:315-317; and Otsuga et al. (2001) Plant J. 25:223-236).
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G391 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Although plants from the T2 generation were wild-type in morphology, the T1 plants showed significant deleterious effects. The plants were small and dark green with short bolts. All other phenotypes were wild-type in all assays performed. As determined by RT-PCR, G391 was moderately expressed in shoots, and was expressed at lower levels in roots, flowers, and rosettes.
An additional sixteen 35S::G391 T1 lines were obtained that displayed a consistent morphological phenotype; the majority of these plants were small, had abnormal phyllotaxy, and exhibited stem bifurcations in which shoot meristems split to form two or three separate shoots. Additionally a significant number of these extra T1 lines flowered earlier than controls. Comparable effects were obtained by overexpression of G390.
Potential Applications
The overexpression data suggested that G391 or its equivalogs have utility in the manipulation of shoot architecture. Additionally, since a number of the 35S::G391 lines flowered early, this gene or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate flowering time.
G409 (SEQ ID NO: 73)
Published Information
G409, also named Athb-1, was one of the earliest plant homeodomain leucine (HD-ZIP) zipper genes cloned. It was isolated from a cDNA library by highly degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to a conserved eight amino acid sequence from the helix-3 region of the homeodomain. The protein was found to transactivate a promoter linked to a specific DNA binding site (CAATTATTG) by transient expression assays. Overexpression of Athb-1 affected the development of palisade parenchyma under normal growth conditions, resulting in light green sectors in leaves and cotyledons, whereas other organs in the transgenic plants remained normal.
Experimental Observations
G409 was induced by drought and repressed by NaCl. Plants overexpressing G409 were more tolerant to infection by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. In addition to the Erysiphe tolerant phenotype, the overexpressors were slightly early flowering.
Potential Applications
The expression of transcription factors such as G409 or its equivalogs involved in plant/pathogen interaction can be modulated to manipulate the plant defense- wound- or insect-response in order to generate pathogen resistant plants.
G427 (SEQ ID NO: 75)
Published Information
G427 corresponds to KNAT4, one of four KNOX class II homeobox genes in Arabidopsis. This gene was originally identified by Serikawa et al. ((1996) Plant Mol. Biol. 32:673-683) using low-stringency screening of Arabidopsis cDNA libraries using the kn1 homeobox from maize No genetic characterization of KNAT4 have been published, but it is expressed at high levels in leaves and young siliques (Serikawa et al. (1996) supra). It should be noted that KNAT4 shares a very high level of sequence similarity with another KNOX class II gene, KNAT3 (G426). Expression of each of these genes is light dependent, suggesting that that they might have a role in light regulated developmental processes (Serikawa et al. (1996) supra; Serikawa et al. (1997) Plant J. 11:853-861).
Experimental Observations
The function of G427 was assessed by analysis of transgenic Arabidopsis lines in which the cDNA was constitutively expressed under the control of the 35S CaMV promoter.
35S::G427 transformants flowered markedly earlier than wild-type controls in conditions of either continuous light or a 12-hour photoperiod. Such results indicated that G427 can promote flowering in Arabidopsis under either inductive or non-inductive conditions. These data correlated well with the published observation that G427 expression is light regulated, and indicated that the gene likely has a function in the regulation of flowering time in Arabidopsis. Additionally, 35S::G427 seedlings were noted to have rather vertically positioned leaves, a feature that is often apparent in plants with abnormal light regulated development.
Overexpression of G427 in Arabidopsis also resulted in an increase in seed oil and a decrease in seed protein in two T2 lines. No other phenotypic alterations were observed.
Potential Applications
G427 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate seed oil and seed protein content, which may be of nutritional value for human consumption, and for animal feeds.
G427 or its equivalogs can be used to regulate flowering time in commercial species. A wide range of potential applications exist; prevention of flowering might help maximize vegetative yields and prevent escape of GMO pollen, whereas accelerating flowering could shorten crop and tree breeding programs.
Additionally, G427 or its equivalogs can be used in inducible systems that could be used to synchronize flowering in a crop.
G438 (SEQ ID NO: 77)
Published Information
G438 was identified as a homeobox gene (MUP 24.4) within P1 clone MUP 24 (GenBank accession number AB005246). G438 was identified as the Arabidopsis REVOLUTA (REV) gene (Ratcliffe et al. (2000) Plant Cell 12:315-317). Based on its mutant phenotype, REV had previously been identified as having a key role in regulating the relative growth of apical versus non-apical (cambial) meristems (Alvarez (1994) in Arabidopsis: An Atlas of Morphology and Development (ed. J. Bowman), pp. 188-189, New York, N.Y.: Springer-Verlag; Talbert et al. (1995) Development 121:2723-2735). The revoluta phenotype was highly pleiotropic but was characterized by a failure in development of all types of apical meristem: lateral shoot meristems in the axils of cauline and rosette leaves were often completely absent, or replaced by a solitary leaf. These effects were most evident in higher order shoots, but in some cases, the primary shoot meristem also failed and terminated growth in a cluster of filamentous structures. Rev floral meristems often failed to complete normal development and form incomplete or abortive filamentous structures. In contrast to apical meristems, structures formed by non-apical meristems, such as leaves, stems, and floral organs often became abnormally large and contorted in the rev mutant.
The features of rev mutants were similar to those of the interfascicular fiberless1 (ifl1) mutant. Ifl1 was isolated during screens for mutants lacking normal stem fiber differentiation (Thong et al. (1997) Plant Cell 9:2159-2170). Wild-type Arabidopsis plants form interfascicular fibers which became lignified and added support to the inflorescence stem (Aloni (1987) Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. 38:179-204); Zhong et al. (1997) supra; Zhong et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:2139-2152). In the ifl1 mutant, normal interfascicular fibers were absent and the differentiation of both xylary fibers and vessel elements was disrupted. In addition to these internal features, ifl1 mutants had secondary morphological features very similar to those of rev. Recently the IFL1 gene was cloned by Zhong et al. (1999 supra). It was found that the IFL1 sequence and map position were identical to those of the REV gene cloned, demonstrating that REV and IFL1 are the same gene. (Ratcliffe et al. (2000) supra).
It had been suggested that REV promotes the growth of apical meristems (including floral meristems) at the expense of non-apical meristems (Talbert et al. (1995) supra). It is not yet clear, however, whether expression data support such a role: strong expression of REV has been detected in interfascicular regions and developing vascular tissue, but in-situ expression analysis of apical meristems has not yet been reported. (Thong et al. (1999) supra). REV is a group III HD-ZIP protein and shares high sequence similarity (and organization) with the proteins encoded by three other Arabidopsis genes: Athb8, Athb9, and Athb14 (Sessa et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38:609-622). It is possible, therefore, that these genes act together in the same developmental process. Supporting this suggestion, Athb8 had a similar expression pattern to REV and was transcribed in the procambial regions of vascular bundles (Baima et al. (1995) Development 12:4171-4182).
Experimental Observations (Knockout)
G438 was initially identified as MUP24.4, a novel putative homeobox gene within P1 clone MUP24 (GenBank Accession AB005246). Annotation was confirmed by isolation of the G438 cDNA: the cDNA had an in-frame stop codon immediately 5′ to the predicted start codon and comprised 18 exons that had been predicted within the genomic sequence.
Plants homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in the G438 sequence were obtained by PCR based screening of DNA pools from the Jack Collection of insertional mutants (Campisi et al. (1999) Plant Journal 17:699-707). The T-DNA insertion was located 466 bp downstream of the putative start codon, and was predicted to create a null mutation. The mutation was recessive and produced a revoluta phenotype. Complementation crosses and sequencing of a known revoluta allele demonstrated that G438 was REVOLUTA.
RT-PCR analyses detected G438 expression at medium to high levels in all tissues and conditions tested. Further expression analysis was possible since the T-DNA insertion contained an enhancer trap construct (Campisi et al. (1999) supra). GUS staining could therefore be used to reveal the expression pattern of genes within which insertions occurred. GUS staining of seedlings homozygous and heterozygous for the G438 T-DNA insertion revealed very strong expression within axillary shoots. This expression data correlates with the marked effects of the rev mutation on outgrowth of higher order shoots.
Experimental Observations (Overexpressor)
A full-length clone was amplified from cDNA derived from mixed tissue samples, and 35S::G438 transformants were generated. These lines appeared wild-type in the physiological assays, but showed differences in morphology compared with control plants. At early stages, a small number of T1 plants displayed aberrant phyllotaxy and were rather dwarfed, but these effects were inconsistent, and the majority of lines appeared wild-type. At later stages, however, around half of the primary transformants, from two of the three T1 sowings, developed slightly larger flatter leaves than wild type at late stages. The progeny of four lines that had shown these phenotypes were examined in the T2 generation. At late stages, plants from two of these T2 populations again displayed slightly broad flat leaves, but plants from the other two T2 populations appeared wild-type at all stages.
A single T1 plant line out of a total of 37 lines had highly aberrant shoot meristem development. At the early seedling stage, it appeared as though the primary shoot apex of this individual had developed into a terminal leaf-like structure. Subsequent growth then continued from an axillary shoot meristem that initiated from the base of a cotyledon petiole. However, this effect became silenced between generations and was not observed in the T2 progeny from one line. Given that this effect was observed in only a single line, it could have been the result of an activation tagged locus at the T-DNA insertion site, rather than due to G438 expression. However, the phenotype would fit with a role for REV in regulating apical meristem development.
Potential Applications
The mutant phenotypes indicated that REV/IFL1 or its equivalogs have an important role in determining overall plant architecture and the distribution of lignified fiber cells within the stem. A number of utilities can be envisaged based upon these functions.
Modifying the activity of REVOLUTA orthologs from tree species can offer the potential for modulating lignin content. This can allow the quality of wood used for furniture or construction to be improved. Lignin is energy rich; increasing lignin composition could therefore be valuable in raising the energy content of wood used for fuel. Conversely, the pulp and paper industries seek wood with a reduced lignin content. Currently, lignin must be removed in a costly process that involves the use of many polluting chemicals. Consequently, lignin is a serious barrier to efficient pulp and paper production (Tzira et al. (1998) TIBTECH 16:439-446; Robinson (1999) Nature Biotechnology 17:27-30). In addition to forest biotechnology applications, changing lignin content might increase the palatability of various fruits and vegetables.
In Arabidopsis, reduced REV activity results in a reduction of higher-order shoot development. Reducing activity of REV orthologs may generate trees that lack side branches, and have fewer knots in the wood. Altering branching patterns can also have applications amongst ornamental and agricultural crops. For example, applications might exist in any species where secondary shoots currently have to be removed manually, or where changes in branching pattern could increase yield or facilitate more efficient harvesting.
G450 (SEQ ID NO: 79)
Published Information
G450 is IAA14, a member of the Aux/IAA class of small, short-lived nuclear proteins that contain four conserved domains. IAA14 was found as one of a group of Arabidopsis IAA genes that was isolated based on homology to early auxin-induced genes of pea (Abel et al. (1995) J. Mol. Biol. 251:533-549). Recently a gain-of-function mutant in IAA14, slr (solitary root), was found to abolish lateral root formation, reduce root hair formation, and impair gravitropic responses (Fukaki (2001) Abstracts 12th Intl. Conf. Arabidopsis Res. #448, Madison, Wis.).
Experimental Observations
Overexpression of G450 influenced leaf development, overall plant stature, and seed size. 35S::G450 plants produced seeds that were larger than wild-type seed.
Potential Applications
G450 or its equivalogs can used to produce larger seed in plants, which may positively influence seed storage characteristics, appearance and yield.
G464 (SEQ ID NO: 81)
Published Information
G464 is IAA12, a member of the Aux/IAA class of small, short-lived nuclear proteins that contain four conserved domains. IAA12 was found as one of a group of Arabidopsis IAA genes that was isolated based on homology to early auxin-induced genes of pea. IAA12 transcripts were modestly (2 to 4-fold) induced by auxin, with optimal induction at 10 μM auxin (Abel et al. (1995) J. Mol. Biol. 251:533-549).
Experimental Observations
G464 overexpressing Arabidopsis lines showed enhanced germination in high heat conditions. In addition, one Arabidopsis line overexpressing G464 showed an increase in total seed protein and a decrease in total seed oil by NIR in one assay.
Potential Applications
G464 or its equivalogs in native or altered form is useful to produce plants that germinate better in hot conditions.
G470 (SEQ ID NO: 83)
Published Information
A partial cDNA clone corresponding to G470 was isolated in a two-hybrid screen for proteins that interact with ARF1, a transcription factor that binds to auxin response elements, and this clone was named ARF1 Binding Protein (Ulmasov et al. (1997) Science 276:1865-1868). A full-length clone was later isolated, and the gene was renamed ARF2 (Ulmasov et al. (1999a) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 96:5844-5849). ARF2 was shown to bind to an auxin response element (Ulmasov et al. (1999b) Plant J. 19:309-319).
Co-transfection of ARF2 and a reporter construct with an auxin response element into carrot protoplasts did not result in either activation or repression of transcription of the reporter gene (Ulmasov et al. (1999a) supra). ARF2 binding to palindromic auxin response elements is thought to be facilitated by dimerization mediated by the carboxy-terminal domain of ARF2 (Ulmasov et al. (1999b) supra). It is possible that ARF2 regulates gene expression through heterodimerization with other ARF proteins or with IAA proteins. ARF2 was found to be expressed uniformly in roots, rosette leaves, cauline leaves, flowers, and siliques (Ulmasov et al. (1999b) supra).
Experimental Observations
Expression of a truncated G470 clone in the antisense orientation under the 35S promoter caused infertility in Arabidopsis. In primary transformants expressing the G470 clone, the stamens failed to elongate properly. Pollen was produced, but was not deposited on the stigma. The transformants appeared otherwise morphologically normal. Because of the infertility of the primary transformants, no material was available for biochemical and physiological analyses. The truncated clone corresponds to the carboxy-terminal portion of the ARF2 protein, and lacks the DNA binding domain.
Potential Applications
G470 or its equivalogs are useful in engineering infertility in self-pollinating plants.
G477 (SEQ ID NO: 85)
Published Information
G477 corresponds to SPL6 (AJ011643, Cardon et al. (1999) Gene 237:91-104), a member of the SBP family of transcription factors. G477 is expressed constitutively throughout the development of Arabidopsis. Outside the SBP-domain, G477 has a putative myc-like helix-loop-helix dimerization domain (Cardon et al. (1999) supra).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G477 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G477 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all morphological and biochemical assays performed.
Plants overexpressing G477 were slightly more sensitive to the herbicides glyphosate and acifluorfen and to oxidative stress caused by rose bengal compared with wild-type controls. Plants overexpressing G477 also develop more disease symptoms following inoculation with a moderate dose of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum compared with control plants. It is well known that oxidative stress is a component of a plant defense response to pathogen and therefore the disease susceptibility phenotype could be related to a general sensitivity to oxidative stress.
G477 was expressed in all tissues and under all conditions tested in RT-PCR and cDNA micro array experiments.
Potential Applications
G477 activity was shown to affect the response of transgenic plants to the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and oxidative stress tolerance. Therefore, G477 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G481 (SEQ ID NO: 87)
Published Information
G481 is equivalent to AtHAP3a which was identified by Edwards et al. ((1998) Plant Physiol. 117:1015-1022) as an EST with extensive sequence homology to the yeast HAP3. Northern blot data from five different tissue samples indicated that G481 was primarily expressed in flower and/or silique, and root tissue.
Experimental Observations
G481 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G481 overexpressors were more tolerant to high sucrose in a germination assay. The phenotype of G481 was mild; however, there was a consistent difference in the hypocotyl and root elongation in the overexpressor plants compared to wild-type controls. Sucrose-sensing has been implicated in the regulation of source-sink relationships in plants. Consistent with the sugar sensing phenotype of the G481 overexpressors were the results from the biochemical analysis of G481 overexpressor plants indicating that one line had higher amounts of seed oils and lower amounts of seed protein. This suggested that G481 was involved in the allocation of storage compounds to the seed. One G481 overexpressor line was darker green in the T2 generation, which could mean a higher photosynthetic rate consistent with the possible role of G481 in sugar sensing.
G481 overexpressing plants were found to be more tolerant to drought in a soil-based assay.
Potential Applications
The utility of G481 or its equivalogs includes a role in sugar sensing, a plant mechanism that has been shown to be involved in the following: 1) altering storage compound accumulation (oil and/or protein) in seeds which could impact yield and seed quality, and 2) altering photosynthetic rate which could also impact yield in vegetative tissues as well as seed. G481 was shown to alter sugar sensing. Sugars are key regulatory molecules that affect diverse processes in higher plants including germination, growth, flowering, senescence, sugar metabolism and photosynthesis. Sucrose is the major transport form of photosynthate and its flux through cells has been shown to affect gene expression and alter storage compound accumulation in seeds (source-sink relationships).
The enhanced germination phenotype of transgenic plants overexpressing G481 under a condition of drought or osmotic stress (such as high concentrations of sucrose) suggested the gene or its equivalogs can also be used to improve plant tolerance to water deficit related conditions such as water deprivation, salt stress, and freezing stress. Thus, G481 can be used to engineer plants with enhanced stress tolerance that can ultimately impact survivability and yield.
G482 (SEQ ID NO: 89)
Published Information
G482 is equivalent to AtHAP3b which was identified by Edwards et al. ((1998) Plant Physiol. 117:1015-1022) as an EST with homology to the yeast gene HAP3b. Edwards' northern blot data suggests that AtHAP3b is expressed primarily in roots. No other functional information regarding G482 is publicly available.
Experimental Observations
G482 function was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants under the control of a 35S promoter. G482 overexpressors were more tolerant to high NaCl in a germination assay.
RT-PCR analysis of endogenous levels of G482 transcripts indicated that this gene was expressed constitutively in all tissues tested. A cDNA array experiment supported the RT-PCR derived tissue distribution data. G482 was not induced above basal levels in response to any environmental stress treatments tested.
Potential Applications
The utilities of this gene or its equivalogs include the ability to confer salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant. This would most likely impact survivability and yield. Evaporation of water from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer, where the seeds were placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile.
G484 (SEQ ID NO: 91)
Published Information
G484 is equivalent to ATHDR1B and was isolated by Kuromori et al. ((1994) Nucleic Acids Res. 22:5296-5301). The Arabidopsis sequence is highly homologous to the human DR1 gene that has been shown to interact with TATA-binding protein (TBP) to repress transcription of class II genes (Yeung et al. (1994) Genes Dev. 8:2097-2109).
Experimental Observations
Homozygous knockout mutant plants as well as plants ectopically overexpressing G484 were used to determine the function of this gene in Arabidopsis. Insertion of T-DNA into G484 at nucleotide position +439 with respect to the start ATG codon was within the first third of the G484 coding sequence of the gene and therefore was likely to result in a null mutation. The phenotype for G484 overexpressor and knockout mutant plants was similar to wild-type for all morphological, biochemical and physiological assays performed. RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G484 transcripts indicated that this gene was expressed primarily in shoots, roots and flowers, with a low level expression in the other tissues tested. G484 was not induced significantly above basal levels in response to any environment stress treatments tested.
Potential Applications
G484 knockout mutant seed had an altered glucosinolate profile and therefore the gene or its equivalogs can be used to modify glucosinolate composition in plants.
G489 (SEQ ID NO: 93)
Published Information
G489 was identified from a BAC sequence that showed high sequence homology to AtHAP5-like transcription factors in Arabidopsis. No published information is available regarding the function of this gene.
Experimental Observations
The function of G489 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G489 overexpressors were more tolerant to high NaCl stress, showing more root growth and leaf expansion compared with the controls in culture. Two well characterized ways in which NaCl toxicity is manifested in the plant is through general osmotic stress and potassium deficiency due to the inhibition of its transport. These G489 overexpressor lines were more tolerant to osmotic stress in general, showing more root growth on mannitol containing media.
RT-PCR analysis of endogenous levels of G489 transcripts indicated that this gene was expressed constitutively in all tissues tested. A cDNA array experiment confirmed the RT-PCR derived tissue distribution data. G489 was not induced above basal levels in response to the stress treatments tested.
Potential Applications
The utilities of this gene or its equivalogs include the ability to confer salt tolerance during the growth and developmental stages of a crop plant. This would impact yield and or biomass.
G490 (SEQ ID NO: 95)
Published Information
G490 is member of the Hap5-like subfamily of the CAAT-box binding transcription factors. G490 was identified in the sequence of BAC MXA21, GenBank accession number AB005247, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G490 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G490 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all physiological assays performed. Overexpression of G490 resulted in a marked early flowering phenotype under continuous light conditions.
During initial studies on lines #1-20, plants were not carefully examined for flowering time, and at later developmental stages, appeared to have a wild-type phenotype. To assess flowering time more carefully, a further batch of 35S::G490 T1 plants were grown. The majority of these plants showed a very clear acceleration of flowering and had visible flower buds up to a week earlier than wild type. At later stages the plants appeared wild-type. To confirm these observations, T2 progeny from three early flowering T1 plants were grown; all three T2 lines showed early flowering.
In addition to the flowering time phenotype, seed of 35S::G490 transgenic plants showed altered tocopherol composition. In seeds of two lines, an increase in the percentage of delta-tocopherol was observed.
As determined by RT-PCR, G490 was expressed at low levels in flower, rosette leaf, embryo and silique. No expression of G490 was detected in the other tissues tested. G490 expression is induced to low levels in rosette leaves by auxin treatment, drought, heat, osmotic and salt stress treatments.
Potential Applications
One utility of a gene such as G490 or its equivalogs is to accelerate flowering.
In addition, G490 or its equivalogs can be used to alter tocopherol composition. Tocopherols have anti-oxidant and vitamin E activity.
G504 (SEQ ID NO: 97)
Published Information
G504 was identified in the sequence of BAC F11P17, GenBank accession number AC002294, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G504 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G504 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all physiological and biochemical assays performed. 35S::G504 transgenic plants had a subtle leaf phenotype in the early developmental stages but were wild-type in appearance in later stages of development. In one transgenic line, a decrease in seed oil as measured by NIR was observed. Also, seeds of this same line also showed an increase in the percentage of 18:2 fatty acid and a decrease in the percentage of 20:1 fatty acid.
In an RT PCR experiment, endogenous G504 appeared to be expressed specifically and at high levels in flower tissue. No induction of endogenous G504 expression in leaf tissue was detected in response to any environmental conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G504 or its equivalogs may be used to modify seed oil content in seeds, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
The promoter of G504 can be used to engineer flower specific gene expression.
G509 (SEQ ID NO: 99)
Published Information
G509 was identified in the sequence of BAC F2009, GenBank accession number AL021749, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of G509 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G509 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter, as well as using a line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G509. The T-DNA insertion of G509 at nucleotide position +1583 with respect to the start ATG codon was approximately half way into the coding sequence of the gene and therefore was likely to result in a null mutation. G509 primary transformants showed no significant morphological differences from control plants, though one T2 line was noted to be small and sickly at the seedling and rosette stages, and pale and late flowering at the flowering stage. Knockout plants showed no consistent morphological differences from controls. G509 knockout plants may be more susceptible to infection with a moderate dose of the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii; 8 out of 8 plants tested showed more fungal growth compared with the wild-type controls. G509 lines had significantly higher levels of chlorophyll a, and lower levels of chlorophyll b in seeds.
G509 knockout mutants produced more seed oil and more seed protein than wild-type control plants.
Endogenous G509 was expressed constitutively in all tissues tested, with the highest levels of expression in shoots, roots, flowers and siliques.
Potential Applications
G509 or its equivalogs can be used to produce plants with altered seed oil and seed protein content.
G509 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
In addition, G509 or its equivalogs can be used to regulate the levels of chlorophyll in seeds.
G519 (SEQ ID NO: 101)
Published Information
G519 was first identified in the sequence of the P1 clone MBK5, GenBank accession number AB005234, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A related gene to G519 is the rice gene OsNAC6 (GenBank accession number BAA89800).
Experimental Observations
The function of G519 was analyzed with transgenic plants in which G519 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
RT-PCR analysis was used to determine the endogenous levels of G519 in a variety of tissues and under a variety of environmental stress-related conditions. G519 was constitutively expressed with the highest level of expression in shoots, roots and seedlings. RT-PCR data also indicated an induction of G519 transcripts accumulation upon auxin, abscisic acid (ABA), cold, heat, Fusarium and salicylic acid (SA) treatments.
As measured by NIR, G519 overexpressors were found to have increased seed oil content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G519 or its equivalogs may be used to alter seed oil content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G545 (SEQ ID NO: 103)
Published Information
G545 was discovered independently by two groups. Lippuner et al. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271:12859-12866) identified G545 as an Arabidopsis cDNA (STZ), which increases the tolerance of yeast to Li+ and Na+. They found that STZ expression is most abundant in leaves and roots, and that its level of expression increases slightly upon exposure of the plant to salt. The second group (Meissner et al (1997) Plant Mol. Biol. 33:615-624), identified G545 (ZAT10) in a group of Arabidopsis C2H2 zinc finger protein-encoding cDNAs that they isolated by degenerate PCR. According to their data, ZAT10 is expressed in roots, shoots and stems.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A closely related non-Arabidopsis sequence is a cDNA from the nitrogen-fixing species Datisca glomerata (AF119050). The similarity of this sequence with G545 extends beyond the conserved domain.
Experimental Observations
Plants overexpressing G545 flowered early, and in extreme cases were infertile. G545 overexpression conferred tolerance of transgenic plants to phosphate deficiency. This could be the result of insensitivity to phosphate, higher rates of phosphate assimilation or larger stores of phosphate. G545 overexpressors also appeared to be more sensitive to NaCl than wild-type plants. This result was unexpected, since yeast cells overexpressing G545 are more tolerant to salt stress than control cells. There may be a dominant negative effect in plants, triggered by the over-accumulation of the G545 protein, which does not exist in yeast.
G545 overexpressing plants appeared to be significantly more susceptible to pathogens than control plants. This implied a role for the G545 in the control of defense mechanisms.
Potential Applications
G545 or equivalog overexpression may result in tolerance to phosphate deficiency. Young plants have a rapid intake of phosphorous, so it is important that seed beds have high enough content in phosphate to sustain their growth. Also, root crops such as carrot, potato and parsnip will all decrease in yield if there is insufficient phosphate available. Phosphate costs represent a relatively small but significant portion of farmers' operating costs (3-4% of total costs to a corn farmer in the US, higher to a vegetable grower). Plants that are tolerant to phosphate deficiency can represent a cost saving for farmers, especially in areas where soils are very poor in phosphate.
Another desirable phenotype, salt tolerance, may arise from G545 or equivalog silencing rather than overexpression. Additionally, G545 appeared to be induced by cold, drought, salt and osmotic stresses, which was in agreement with a potential role of the genes in protecting the plant in such adverse environmental conditions.
G545 also appears to be involved in the control of defense processes. However, overexpression of G545 made Arabidopsis plants more susceptible to disease. This negative effect will have to be corrected before G545 can be used in a crop to induce tolerance to low phosphate, such as by restricting overexpression of G545 or its equivalogs to roots.
G546 (SEQ ID NO: 105)
Published Information
G546 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone MJB20 and BAC clone T19E12, GenBank accession number AC007584, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G546 homologs in other species are Y14573.1:33104 . . . 33991 from barley, OSJNBb0064P21.7 from rice.
Experimental Observations
RT-PCR was used to analyze the endogenous levels of G546 transcripts. RT-PCR data indicated that G546 was expressed constitutively in all tissues examined. There was a moderate level of G546 transcript detected in shoots and roots while in flowers, rosette and cauline leaves, and siliques transcript level was low. G546 transcripts were not elevated in response to the environmental stress treatments.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G546 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G546 in Arabidopsis resulted in one line in which seedlings were ABA insensitive in a germination assay. Morphologically, the plants were small at early stages, grew slowly, became dark colored, and senesced late. Somewhat similar effects were observed in approximately half of the primary transformants. 35S::G546 transformants also sporadically displayed increased anthocyanin levels in cotyledons at the seedling stage, young leaves, and in the stems of secondary shoots.
Potential Applications
G546 appears to affect ABA sensitivity, therefore, G546 or its equivalogs may have a utility in modifying ABA responses such as seed dormancy and drought tolerance.
In addition, G546 or its equivalogs could be used to alter anthocyanin production. The potential utilities of this gene include alterations in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and increasing stress resistance, possibly in combination with another transcription factor.
G561 (SEQ ID NO: 107)
Published Information
G561 is the Arabidopsis gene GBF2 (Schindler et al (1992) EMBO J. 11:1261-1273), which was cloned by hybridization to GBF1. GBF2 is constitutive in both light and dark grown leaves, expressed in roots, and the nuclear import of GBF1 may be light regulated (Terzaghi et al (1997) Plant J. 11:967-982).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
Close relatives of G561 include a G-box binding protein from Sinapis alba (Y16953; unpublished) and a G-Box binding protein from Raphanus sativus (X92102, unpublished).
Experimental Observations
The function of G561 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants over-expressing G561 showed more root growth on potassium free media. Expression of G561 also appears to be constitutive, and may be preferentially expressed in siliques and moderately inducible with heat stress.
An important aspect of the potassium root growth assay is that plants were firstly germinated on media with potassium and then transferred onto potassium-free media. G561 overexpressors may have be able to somehow cope with less potassium, and it is also possible that G561 overexpressors accumulated more potassium before they were transferred, which allowed the roots to grow more vigorously after transfer.
As measured by NIR, G561 overexpressors were found to have increased seed oil content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G561 or its equivalogs could be used to increase seedling vigor or plant growth in soils that are low in potassium. Potassium is a macronutrient required for a variety of basic plant functions which is commonly added to soil as a fertilizer. The ability to grow plants on low potassium soils may save the ecological and material cost of soil fertilization.
G561 or its equivalogs may also be used to manipulate sterol composition, and may be used to modify seed oil content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G562 (SEQ ID NO: 109)
Published Information
G562 is the published Arabidopsis transcription factor GBF3, which was cloned through its hybridization with GBF1 (Schindler et al. (1992) EMBO J. 11:1261-1273). GBF3, like GBF1 and GBF2, can bind G-box elements as a homodimer, or as a heterodimer with other bZIP family members. GBF3 appears to be highly expressed in roots in comparison to leaves, and repressed by light. GBF3 binds to G-box elements in the Arabidopsis ADH promoter in vitro, is induced by ABA in suspension cultures, and is proposed to be the transcription factor responsible for the ABA regulated ADH gene expression (Lu et al. (1996) Plant Cell. 8:847-857).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
Similar genes to G562 include the B. napus proteins BnGBF1 and BnGBF2 (U27107 and U27108) which are strikingly similar to G562 for their entire lengths. An unpublished Catharanthus roseus G-box binding protein 1 protein (AF084971) also has significant homology to G562 outside of the conserved domain.
Experimental Observations
G562 appeared to be preferentially expressed in root and flower tissues by RT-PCR analysis, and expressed at lower levels in other tissues of the plant. G562 was induced by heat, drought and osmotic stress in seedlings. The function of G562 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G562 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G562 were consistently and significantly later flowering, with more crinkled leaves than wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G562 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate flowering time in plants.
G567 (SEQ ID NO: 111)
Published Information
G567 was discovered as a bZIP gene in BAC T10P11, accession number AC002330, released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G567 is similar to two bZIP factors from Petroselinum crispum (1806261) and Glycine max (1905785) Similarity between these two proteins and the protein encoded by G567 extends beyond the conserved domains and thus they may have a function and utility to G567.
Experimental Observations
The annotation of G567 in BAC AC002330 was experimentally confirmed and the function of G567 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G567 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Seedlings overexpressing G567 had slowly opening cotyledons and very short roots when grown on MS plates containing glucose. G567 is thus likely to be involved in sugar sensing or metabolism during germination.
As measured by NIR analysis, plants overexpressing G567 had an increase in total combined seed oil and seed protein content.
G567 appears to be constitutively expressed, and induced in leaves in a variety of conditions.
Potential Applications
G567 or its equivalogs may be useful in manipulating seed oil and protein content.
G567 or its equivalogs may be used to modify sugar sensing.
In addition to their important role as an energy source and structural component of the plant cell, sugars are central regulatory molecules that control several aspects of plant physiology, metabolism and development. It is thought that this control is achieved by regulating gene expression and, in higher plants, sugars have been shown to repress or activate plant genes involved in many essential processes such as photosynthesis, glyoxylate metabolism, respiration, starch and sucrose synthesis and degradation, pathogen response, wounding response, cell cycle regulation, pigmentation, flowering and senescence.
Because sugars are important signaling molecules, the ability to control either the concentration of a signaling sugar or how the plant perceives or responds to a signaling sugar could be used to control plant development, physiology or metabolism. For example, the flux of sucrose (a disaccharide sugar used for systemically transporting carbon and energy in most plants) has been shown to affect gene expression and alter storage compound accumulation in seeds. Manipulation of the sucrose signaling pathway in seeds may therefore cause seeds to have more protein, oil or carbohydrate, depending on the type of manipulation. Similarly, in tubers, sucrose is converted to starch which is used as an energy store. It is thought that sugar signaling pathways may partially determine the levels of starch synthesized in the tubers. The manipulation of sugar signaling in tubers could lead to tubers with a higher starch content.
Thus, manipulating the sugar signal transduction pathway may lead to altered gene expression to produce plants with desirable traits. In particular, manipulation of sugar signal transduction pathways could be used to alter source-sink relationships in seeds, tubers, roots and other storage organs leading to increase in yield.
G568 (SEQ ID NO: 113)
Published Information
G568 was identified in the sequence of BAC T19K4, GenBank accession number AL022373, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The PTBF1 gene from Populus×generosa appears to be a potential homolog of G568 (GenBank accession no AF288616). PTBF1 expression is associated with terminal bud formation.
Experimental Observations
The annotation of G568 in BAC AL022373 was experimentally confirmed. G568 appeared to be preferentially expressed in shoots, roots and flowers and its expression was strongly repressed by the fungal pathogens Erysiphe orontii and Fusarium oxysporum, indicating that in some way it could be a repressor of a defense response.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G568 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G568 displayed a variety of morphological phenotypes. These morphological phenotypes include narrow leaves, a darker green coloration, and bushy, spindly, poorly fertile shoots, dwarfing and flowering time alteration. No disease-related phenotype was observed.
Potential Applications
G568 or its equivalogs may be used to manipulate plant architecture and flowering time. The expression pattern of G568 also indicated a use for this gene or its equivalogs in manipulating the defense response. The promoter of G568 may also have some utility as a promoter that can be used to engineer down-regulation of gene expression in response to pathogen attack.
G584 (SEQ ID NO: 115)
Published Information
G584 was identified in chromosome IV BAC T6K21 sequence (gene T6K21.10) by the EU Arabidopsis sequencing project as “bHLH protein-like”.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A related gene to G584 is Phaseolus vulgaris phaseolin G-box binding protein PG1 (U18348). Similarity between G584 and PG1 extends beyond the signature motif of the family No functional information is available for gene PG1 other than that the protein binds to a G-box motif CACGTG of the bean seed storage protein beta-phaseolin gene.
Experimental Observations
The function of G584 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G584 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G584 transgenic plants seemed to produce seed of a larger size than control plants. Analysis of G584 overexpressors revealed no apparent physiological or biochemical changes when compared to wild-type control plants. Analysis of the endogenous expression level of G584, as determined by RT-PCR, revealed a moderate and constitutive expression level in all Arabidopsis tissues examined. G584 transcript level remained similar to wild-type controls in all the treatments examined.
Potential Applications
G584 or its equivalogs could be used to produce larger seed size and/or altered seed morphology, which may positively influence seed storage characteristics, appearance and yield.
G585 (SEQ ID NO: 117)
Published Information
G585 has been identified as GL3. It has been shown that G585 regulates trichome development in Arabidopsis through interaction with GL1 and TTG1 (Payne et al. (2000) Genetics. 156:1349-1362). An increase in the trichome density was observed in GL3 overexpressed transgenic plants in WS background.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G585 protein shares a significant homology to GHDEL65 [Gossypium hirsutum] protein (PID:g13346182) as well as DEL [Antirrhinum majus] protein (PID:g166428).
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G585 was experimentally determined and the function of G585 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G585 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Overexpression of G585 reduced trichome density on leaves and stems. Since this phenotype was confined to a proportion of plants in a single T2 line, it could have been due to co-suppression. To examine this, a second selection of T1 plants was screened: one out of 18 of these plants exhibited a clear reduction in trichome density. Since the glabrous effects were eventually seen in two independent lines, they most likely represented a low penetrance G585 overexpression phenotype or co-suppression. An increase in the trichome density was not observed in G585 overexpressed transgenic plants in an ecotype background. These results are different from the published information, and may simply be due to the difference in ecotype used.
As determined by RT-PCR, G585 was uniformly expressed at low level in all tissues tested. Expression level of G585 appears to be enhanced by auxin treatments and repressed by pathogen Fusarium infections.
Potential Applications
G585 or its equivalogs can be used to affect trichome number and/or distribution. A transcription factor that alters trichome number could be used to increase the production of chemical compounds (like essential oils) that are synthesized and/or stored in trichomes, as well as to protect plants against damage from a variety of herbivores.
G590 (SEQ ID NO: 119)
Published Information
The sequence of G590 was obtained from the Arabidopsis genome sequencing project, GenBank accession number Z99707, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH/Myc related proteins. A knockout mutant in G590, named as SPATULA, has also been isolated and characterized (Heisler et al. (2000) Development 128:1089-1098).
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was studied by knockout analysis and by using transgenic plants in which G590 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
G590 knockout plants produced more seed oil than wild-type controls.
Overexpression of G590 resulted in a reduction in flowering time and a shorter generation time. Under continuous light conditions, G590 overexpressing plants typically produced visible flower buds approximately one week earlier than wild-type controls. At the time of bolting, these plants had 4-8 rosette leaves compared with 8-11 in wild type. Additionally, G590 overexpressor had rather pointed leaves at early stages of development. The plants also appeared slightly small, yellow, and later, had elongated leaf petioles. No other physiological and biochemical alterations were observed in the overexpression transgenic plants when compared to wild-type controls.
Gene expression profiling using RT-PCR shows that G590 was relatively expressed at higher levels in flowers, siliques and roots. Its expression level was unaffected by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G590 or its equivalogs could be used to increase seed oil content, which would be of nutritional value for food for human consumption as well as animal feeds.
Based on the current analysis of G590 overexpressing plants, G590 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate flowering time. A wide variety of applications exist for systems that shorten the time to flowering.
G594 (SEQ ID NO: 121)
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was studied using transgenic plants in which G594 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Plants overexpressing G594 showed more disease symptoms following infection with the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum compared to control plants. In a repeat experiment on individual lines, two lines showed the enhanced susceptibility phenotype. No other consistent morphological or biochemical differences were observed between G594 overexpressors and wild-type plants.
RT-PCR analysis of G594 transcripts indicate that G594 was constitutively expressed in all tissues with exception of roots. The expression level of G594 was induced by auxin treatments and repressed by cold, Erysiphe and Fusarium treatments.
Potential Applications
Since G594 transgenic plants have an altered response to the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, G594 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G597 (SEQ ID NO: 123)
Published Information
G597 was identified in the sequence of BAC F4P9, GenBank accession number AC002332, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G597 has significant homology to a DNA-binding protein PD1 [Pisum sativum] and an Oryza sativa putative AT-Hook DNA-binding protein (PID:12643044).
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was studied using transgenic plants in which G597 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Approximately half of the G597 primary transformants were observed to have narrow curled rosette leaves. Four T1 plants were also observed to be later bolting than wild type. However, these phenotypes were not apparent in the initial plantings or re-plants of the T2 populations.
Overexpression of G597 in one line caused an alteration in the leaf cell wall polysaccharide composition. An increase in the percentage of xylose and a decrease in the percentage of rhamnose was detected. Otherwise, G597 overexpressors behaved similarly to wild-type controls in all biochemical assays performed.
Based on the RT-PCR analysis, G597 was constitutively expressed in all tissues. Lower expression levels were observed in siliques and cauline leaves. Its expression level was unaffected by any of the conditions tested.
As measured by NIR, G597 overexpressors were found to have increased seed oil and decreased seed protein content as compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G597 or its equivalogs may be used to alter seed protein content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G598 (SEQ ID NO: 125)
Published Information
G598 was identified in chromosome II BAC T6D20 sequence (gene T6D20.23) by The Institute for Genomic Research as an “unknown protein”.
Experimental Observations
cDNAs representing two splice variants of G598 were identified. These splice variants differ in the 3′ end region and would produce proteins with different C-termini. The function of G598 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which splice variant number 1 of G598 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G598 overexpressors had higher seed oil content in all three lines tested when measured by NIR. These three lines also showed increased galactose levels when insoluble sugar composition was determined. Otherwise, G598 overexpressors behaved similarly to wild-type controls in all biochemical assays performed. The characterization of G598 overexpressors revealed no apparent morphological or physiological changes when compared to wild-type control plants. Analysis of the endogenous expression level of G598, as determined by RT-PCR, revealed a moderate and constitutive expression level in all tissues and conditions examined.
One transgenic line showed a reproducible increase in galactose in leaves.
Potential Applications
On the basis of the biochemical analyses performed to date, G598 or its equivalogs may play a role in the accumulation or regulation of leaf insoluble sugars. Insoluble sugars are among the building blocks of plant cell walls. Transcription factors that alter plant cell wall composition such as galactose have several potential applications including altering food digestibility, plant tensile strength, wood quality, pathogen resistance and in pulp production. In particular, increasing the insoluble carbohydrate content in various fruits, vegetables, and other edible consumer products will result in enhanced fiber content. Increased fiber content would not only provide health benefits in food products, but might also increase digestibility of forage crops.
G598 or its equivalogs could be used to increase seed oil content, which would be of nutritional value for food for human consumption as well as animal feeds.
G634 (SEQ ID NO: 127)
Published Information
G634 was initially identified as public partial cDNAs sequences for GTL1 and GTL2 which are splice variants of the same gene (Smalle et al (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:3318-3322). The published expression pattern of GTL1 shows that G634 is highly expressed in siliques and not expressed in leaves, stems, flowers or roots.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A close non-Arabidopsis relative of G634 is O. sativa the gt-2 gene (2) which is proposed to bind and regulate the phyA promoter. In addition, the pea DNA-binding protein DF1 (13786451) shows strong homology to G634. The homology of these proteins to G634 extends to outside of the conserved domains and thus these genes are likely to be orthologs of G634.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G634 were experimentally determined and the function of G634 was investigated by constitutively expressing G634 using the CaMV 35S promoter.
Three constructs were made for G634: P324, P1374 and P1717. P324 was found to encode a truncated protein. P1374 and P1717 represent full length splice variants of G634; P1374, the shorter of the two splice variants was used for the experiments described here and the coding sequence of the P1374 clone is provided as the cDNA sequence for G634 in the Sequence Listing. The longest available cDNA (P1717), confirmed by RACE, had the same ATG and stop codons as the genomic sequence. Only data for P1374 are presented here.
Plants overexpressing G634 from construct P1374 had a dramatic increase the density of trichomes, which were also larger in size. The increase in trichome density was most noticeable on later arising rosette leaves, cauline leaves, inflorescence stems and sepals with the stem trichomes being more highly branched than controls. Approximately half of the primary transformants and two of three T2 lines showed the phenotype. Apart from slight smallness, there did not appear to be any other clear phenotype associated with the overexpression of G634. However, a reduction in germination was observed in T2 seeds grown in culture.
RT PCR data showed that G634 was preferentially expressed in flowers and germinating seedlings, and induced by auxin.
Potential Applications
G634 or its equivalogs may be used to alter trichome structure, function or density. Trichome glands on the surface of many higher plants produce and secrete exudates that give protection from the elements and pests such as insects, microbes and herbivores. These exudates may physically immobilize insects and spores, may be insecticidal or ant-microbial or they may allergens or irritants to protect against herbivores. Trichomes have also been suggested to decrease transpiration by decreasing leaf surface air flow, and by exuding chemicals that protect the leaf from the sun.
Depending on the plant species, varying amounts of diverse secondary biochemicals (often lipophilic terpenes) are produced and exuded or volatilized by trichomes. These exotic secondary biochemicals, which are relatively easy to extract because they are on the surface of the leaf, have been widely used in such products as flavors and aromas, drugs, pesticides and cosmetics. One class of secondary metabolites, the diterpenes, can effect several biological systems such as tumor progression, prostaglandin synthesis and tissue inflammation. In addition, diterpenes can act as insect pheromones, termite allomones, and can exhibit neurotoxic, cytotoxic and antimitotic activities. As a result of this functional diversity, diterpenes have been the target of research several pharmaceutical ventures. In most cases where the metabolic pathways are impossible to engineer, increasing trichome density or size on leaves may be the only way to increase plant productivity.
Thus, the use of G634 and its homologs to increase trichome density, size or type may therefore have profound utilities in so called molecular farming practices (i.e. the use of trichomes as a manufacturing system for complex secondary metabolites), and in producing resistant insect and herbivore resistant plants.
G635 (SEQ ID NO: 129)
Published Information
G635 was first identified in the sequence of BAC-end B67864, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. Subsequently, the full sequence of G635 was identified in BAC AB007649, also released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G635 were experimentally determined and the function of G635 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Several plants over-expressing G635 were non-clonally sectored for chloroplast development and/or chlorosis. This phenotype seemed to correlate inversely with the expression level of the transgene, and plants over-expressing the highest amounts of G635 were wild-type in appearance. G635 over-expressing plants were otherwise wild-type biochemically and physiologically. G635 was constitutively expressed.
In the T2 generation, the bleaching phenotype did not show until plants started to flower, and the bleaching seemed to spread throughout the plant into areas that were previously green. This observation, in combination with the fact that the phenotype seems to be correlated with low expression of the gene, indicated that the phenotype was induced by silencing of G635.
A number of plants transformed with G635 had a variegated appearance.
Potential Applications
Based on the phenotype produced when G635 or its equivalogs may have a utility as a regulator of chloroplast development. In addition, G635 may be a herbicide target—if its activity or expression could be reduced using a small molecule, it could potentially kill the plant by causing chlorosis. G635 could also be developed into a marker for silencing in Arabidopsis. 
The variegated phenotype associated with G635 or equivalog overexpression may find utility in ornamental applications.
G636 (SEQ ID NO: 131)
Published Information
G636 was identified through partial EST AA395524, released by Michigan State University. The entire sequence of G636 was later identified in BAC F7O12, accession number F7O12, released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G636 is closely related to the Pisum sativum DNA-binding protein DF1, accession number AB052729, which may bind to light regulatory elements.
Experimental Observations
The 5′ boundary of G636 was determined and the function of G636 was analyzed by constitutively expressing the gene using the CaMV 35S promoter. Overexpression of G636 resulted in premature senescence of leaves and reduced plant size and fertility. No other phenotypic alterations were noted as a result of physiological or biochemical analyses.
G636 was constitutively expressed.
Potential Applications
G636 or its equivalogs may be used to alter senescence responses in plants. Although leaf senescence is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation to recycle nutrients, the ability to control senescence in an agricultural setting has significant value. For example, a delay in leaf senescence in some maize hybrids is associated with a significant increase in yields and a delay of a few days in the senescence of soybean plants can have a large impact on yield. Delayed flower senescence may also generate plants that retain their blossoms longer and this may be of potential interest to the ornamental horticulture industry.
G638 (SEQ ID NO: 133)
Published Information
G638 was identified in the sequence of BAC F17C15, GenBank accession number AL162506, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. During the course of its functional analysis, G638 was identified as the PETAL LOSS gene (Griffith et al. (1999) Development: 126:5635-5644). The PETAL LOSS knockout mutant displays a variety of flower phenotypes, most strikingly characterized by a reduction in the number of petals. In addition to flower organ number, organ identity, shape and orientation, particularly of petals, is altered.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A relative of G638 is a Medicago truncatula gene represented by the EST BF646615, which was isolated from an elicited cell culture cDNA library.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G638 were experimentally determined and the function of G638 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Expression of G638 causes severe alterations of plant development. The most striking feature of these overexpressor plants was that they have multipetallate flowers. In early flowers, some homeotic conversion had occurred between some organs of the flower. In all flowers made after these early flowers, petal number had been altered. Up to eight petals were consistently observed on plants that flowered, and as the plants grew older, the number of petals on new flowers was reduced from eight to about five. This phenotype was somewhat opposite to the phenotype observed with PETAL LOSS knockout plants and confirms a role for G638 in counting or maintaining petal number within the Arabidopsis flower. In addition to the flower phenotype, G638 caused alterations in phyllotaxy, leaf shape and caused plants to be sterile. G638 appears to be constitutively expressed.
Potential Applications
G638 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate plant architecture and leaf shape, in particular this gene could be used to increase or decrease petal number in flowers. Overexpression of G638 also causes sterility, indicating there may be some use for this gene in engineering sterility into commercially relevant species.
G652 (SEQ ID NO: 135)
Published Information
G652 was identified in the sequence of BAC clones F26H11 and F7024, GenBank accession number AC006264, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations (Knockout)
G652 appears to be constitutively expressed at medium levels in all tissues and environmental conditions tested as determined by RT-PCR analysis. Expression of G652 was not detected in other tissues. A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G652 was used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion of G652 was approximately 75% into the coding sequence of the gene and therefore was likely to result in a null mutation. Plants homozygous for a T-DNA insertions within G652 displayed a spectrum of developmental abnormalities, particularly at the early seedling stage. These phenotypes were variable within the population, suggesting that other factors might be influencing the penetrance of the phenotype. For example, seedlings were small and filled with anthocyanins. Almost all the seedlings had defects in cotyledons ranging from unusual shape to fusions. Many seedlings did not survive, and those that did grew slowly. Fertility was reduced compared to controls, senescence delayed, and siliques were often rather short. The reason for this poor fertility was unclear. Many flowers had a reduced number of stamens (4-5 of these organs rather than 6). Interestingly, the absent stamen(s) were usually one or both of the shorter pair. Seeds produced by knockouts of G652 plants were somewhat wrinkled and misshapen.
The G652 knockout line had a reproducible increase in the leaf glucosinolate M39480. It also showed a reproducible increase in seed alpha-tocopherol. A decrease in seed oil as measured by NIR was also observed.
Experimental Observations (Overexpressor)
The function of G652 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G652 resulted in plants that were small and slow developing. Many plants died at an early stage of growth. The two lines that were morphologically examined in the T2 generation were small and showed premature senescence of rosette leaves.
35S::G652 plants were wild-type in physiological analyses that were performed.
Potential Applications
G652 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate seed tocopherol composition and seed structure and to alter glucosinolate composition in leaves.
G652 may also be useful for modifying glucosinolate content. Increases or decreases in specific glucosinolates or total glucosinolate content might be desirable depending upon the particular application.
G663 (SEQ ID NO: 137)
Published Information
G663 was identified from the Arabidopsis EST sequence, H76020, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other Myb family members in Arabidopsis. This gene was named MYB90 (Kranz et al. (1998) Plant J. 16:263-276). Reverse Northern data suggested G663 is expressed highly in leaves, siliques, and flowers and is induced by ethylene treatment.
Experimental Observations
The function of G663 was analyzed by its ectopic overexpression in plants. G663 overexpressors had constitutive anthocyanin production in seeds and roots. One line had higher anthocyanin production in leaf tissue as well. In other overexpressing lines, constitutive anthocyanin production was noted in trichomes and leaf margins. The overproduction of pigment in select tissues suggests there may be another transcription factor with which G663 interacts to activate the pathway. Using the corn system as a model, the interacting protein may be a bZIP like transcription factor.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G663 indicated that this gene was expressed primarily in siliques and seedlings. Array data confirmed the high levels in silique and also detected high levels of G663 in germinating seed tissue. G663 transcripts were also induced above basal levels by all stress treatments tested except by infection with Erysiphe orontii. These data were consistent with G663 being involved in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, which is part of a common multi-stress response pathway.
Potential Applications
The potential utilities of this gene or its equivalogs includes alterations in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly increasing stress resistance in combination with another transcription factor. Flavonoids have antimicrobial activity and could be used to engineer pathogen resistance. Several flavonoid compounds have health promoting effects such as the inhibition of tumor growth and cancer, prevention of bone loss and the prevention of the oxidation of lipids. Increasing levels of condensed tannins, whose biosynthetic pathway is shared with anthocyanin biosynthesis, in forage legumes is an important agronomic trait because they prevent pasture bloat by collapsing protein foams within the rumen. For a review on the utilities of flavonoids and their derivatives, refer to Dixon et al. ((1999) Trends Plant Sci. 10: 394-400).
G664 (SEQ ID NO: 139)
Published Information
G664 was identified from the Arabidopsis EST sequence, N38154, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other Myb family members in Arabidopsis. The Myb consortium named this gene MYB4 (Kranz et al. (1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276). Reverse Northern data suggested G664 is expressed highly in silique tissue with a low level of expression detected in all other tissues.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G664 shows extensive homology to the tomato gene THM27 (X95296) and the barley gene (X70877).
Experimental Observations
The function of G664 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G664 overexpressors germinated better and then developed more rapidly in cold conditions (8° C.) than wild-type controls. No differences in germination rates were observed on control MS media or in response to any other stress. Array data indicated that G664 was normally expressed primarily in root, shoot and silique.
Potential Applications
The potential utility of this gene or its equivalogs is to confer improved cold germination and/or growth. The germination of many crops like cotton is very sensitive to cold temperatures, a gene that would allow germination and seedling vigor in the cold would have tremendous utility in allowing seeds to be planted earlier in the season with a high rate of survivability.
G674 (SEQ ID NO: 141)
Published Information
G674 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of myb transcription factors. G674 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone T2J13 with accession number AL132967 released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative. G674 has also been referred to as MYB45 (Kranz H D, et al. (1998) Plant J. 16:263-276). No information is available about the function(s) of G674.
Experimental Observations
The function of G674 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G674 transformants were generally rather smaller than wild-type controls, and possessed rounded, dark green leaves that were sometimes pointed upward. Overexpression of G674 also resulted in an increase in seed glucosinolate M39501 in two T2 lines. No other phenotypes were associated with the overexpression of G674.
RT-PCR analysis of endogenous levels of G674 indicated that this gene was expressed in all tissues except shoot. Expression levels of G674 seemed to vary in response to stress-related treatments.
Potential Applications
On the basis of the analyses performed to date, G674 or its equivalogs could be used to alter plant growth and development. In addition, overexpression of G674 caused changes in the seed glucosinolate profile.
G676 (SEQ ID NO: 143)
Published Information
G676 was identified from an Arabidopsis EST, N96391, based on its sequence similarity to other members of the Myb family within the conserved domain. The Myb consortium named this gene MYB66 (Kranz H D, et al. (1998) Plant J. 16:263-276) and in a report by Lee et al ((1999) Cell 1999 24; 99:473-483) a detailed functional analysis of G676, or “werewolf”, is described. Werewolf (WER) is involved in position-dependent patterning of epidermal cell types. Transcripts were localized to root epidermal cells that will develop into non-hair cells. WER was shown to regulate the position-dependent expression of GLABRA2, to interact with the maize R gene, and to act as an antagonist to the myb protein CAPRICE (G225). These authors do not report altered trichome positioning in their 35S:wer overexpressors.
Experimental Observations
The function of G676 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. Morphologically, the plants are small, and partially glabrous on the upper surface of the leaf. Ectopic trichomes developed on the underside of the leaf in one line. Lee et al (1999) Cell 99: 473-483) fail to report altered trichome phenotypes in the leaves of the 35S:were overexpression lines. The present lines showed a higher degree of overexpression, which could explain the small stature of the plants as well.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G676 indicated that this gene was expressed primarily in roots with a low level of expression in siliques and seedlings. G676 transcripts were not induced significantly above basal levels by any stress-related treatments tested. In disease-related treatments where whole seedlings were harvested, transcripts were detectable but not above basal levels. This may be related to the gene's root expression. G676 transcripts were not found in Fusarium oxysporum treated seedlings; it is possible this treatment represses G676 expression in the roots.
Potential Applications
The potential utility of G676 or its equivalogs is the production of ectopic trichomes on the surface of the leaf. It would be of significant agronomic value to have plants that exhibit greater numbers of glandular trichomes producing essential oils for the pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as oils that protect plants against insect and pathogen attack.
G680 (SEQ ID NO: 145)
Published Information
G680 or LHY (late elongated hypocotyl) is an unusual Myb transcription factor in that it contains a single Myb repeat instead of the two repeat sequences found in the majority of plant Myb genes (R2R3Mybs). There are over 30 members of this single repeat Myb-related subfamily in the Arabidopsis genome. Both signature repeats in R2R3Myb domain are required for sequence specific DNA binding. However, the Myb-related subfamily with a single repeat domain are also able to bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner (Baranowskij et al. (1994) EMBO J. 13: 5383-5392; Feldbrugge et al. (1997) Plant J. 11: 1079-1093) and are therefore thought to function as transcription factors.
G680 or LHY overexpression affects many processes associated with the circadian clock including, the rythmicity in both leaf movement, and the expression of CAB and CCR2 genes, as well as photoperiodic control of flowering time (Schaffer et al. (1998) Cell 93: 1219-1229). Other reported pleiotropic effects include elongated hypocotyls, elongated petioles, and pale leaves (Schaffer et al. (1998) Cell 93: 1219-1229). All of these phenotypes could potentially be explained by the impairment of circadian clock function. LHY shows a high degree of homology to CCA1, another protein implicated in circadian clock function (Wang et al. (1997) Plant Cell 9: 491-507).
Experimental Observations
The function of G680 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G680 overexpressors were late flowering under both short and long day conditions, however, the late flowering phenotype appeared more consistently under short day conditions. The overexpressors were darker green in color compared to the wild-type controls at later stages of development. This was inconsistent with the published phenotype, which indicates the plants have less chlorophyll, and are pale in color (Schaffer et al. (1998) Cell 93: 1219-1229). Preliminary data indicated that a vernalization treatment applied to germinating seedlings partially overcame the delay in flowering in the G680 overexpressors. Vernalized plants showed an approximate 35% reduction in leaf number on average compared to non-vernalized controls. Overexpression of G680 in plants also resulted in sensitivity to media containing high glucose in a germination assay, indicating a potential role for G680 in sugar sensing.
As determined by RT-PCR, G680 was uniformly expressed in all tissues tested. RT-PCR data also indicated a moderate induction of G680 transcripts accumulation upon drought treatment, and Erysiphe treatment could repress the expression of this gene.
Potential Applications
G680 or its equivalogs may be used to alter sugar sensing in plants. Sugars are key regulatory molecules that affect diverse processes in higher plants including germination, growth, flowering, senescence, sugar metabolism and photosynthesis. Sucrose is the major transport form of photosynthate and its flux through cells has been shown to affect gene expression and alter storage compound accumulation in seeds (source-sink relationships). Glucose-specific hexose-sensing has been described in plants and implicated in cell division and repression of ‘famine’ genes (photosynthetic or glyoxylate cycles). The potential utilities of a gene involved in glucose-specific sugar sensing are to alter energy balance, photosynthetic rate, carbohydrate accumulation, biomass production, source-sink relationships, and senescence.
Potential utilities of G680 or its equivalogs also include the regulation of flowering time. An area in which late flowering might be useful include crops where the vegetative portion of the plant is the marketable portion. In this case, it would be advantageous to prevent or delay flowering in order to increase yield. Prevention of flowering would also be useful in these same crops in order to prevent the spread of transgenic pollen and/or to prevent seed set.
A vernalization treatment applied to germinating G680 seedlings will partially overcome the delay in flowering in the G680 overexpressors. Vernalized plants showed an approximate 35% reduction in leaf number on average compared to non-vernalized controls. Various late flowering mutants are partially rescued by GA applications (Chandler et al. (1994) J. Exp. Bot. 45: 1279 1288). Thus it is possible that G680 could be used to increase the vegetative phases of development in order to increase yield and then triggered to flower via a cold treatment or a gibberellic acid application.
G682 (SEQ ID NO: 147)
Published Information
G682 was identified from the Arabidopsis BAC, AF007269, based on sequence similarity to other members of the Myb family within the conserved domain.
Experimental Observations
The function of G682 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. G682 overexpressors were glabrous, had tufts of more root hairs and germinated better under heat stress conditions. Older plants were not more tolerant to heat stress compared to wild-type controls.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G682 transcripts indicated that this gene was expressed in all tissues tested, however, a very low level of transcript was detected in roots and shoots. Array tissue print data indicated that G682 was expressed primarily, but not exclusively, in flower tissue.
An array experiment was performed on one G682 overexpressing line. The data from this one experiment indicated that this gene could be a negative regulator of chloroplast development and/or light dependent development because the gene Albino3 and many chloroplast genes are repressed. Albino3 functions to regulate chloroplast development (Sundberg et al (1997) Plant Cell 9:717-730). The gene G682 was itself induced 20-fold. Other than a few additional transcription factors, very few genes are induced as a result of the ectopic expression of G682.
A number of plants transformed with G682 lacked trichomes.
Plants overexpressing paralogs of G682, including G225, G226 and G1816, have similar traits as plants that overexpress G682. These traits include reduction or lack of trichomes and increased root hairs, the latter indicating improved resistance to osmotic stress Plants overexpressing G676 and G1332 also have reduced trichome density. G676 and G1332 share 52% (21 of 40 residues) and 60% (24 of 40 residues) identity with G682, respectively, and 62% (20 of 32 residues) and 68% (22 of 32 residues) with the conserved domain of G682, respectively.
The polypeptide sequence of G682 shares 70% (50 of 71 residues), 66% (37 of 56 residues), and 57% (43 of 75 residues) identity with the conserved domains of G225, G226 and G1816, respectively. The conserved domain of G682 shares 86% (32 of 37 residues), 63% (23 of 36 residues), and 69% (25 of 36 residues) identity with the conserved domains of G225, G226 and G1816, respectively.
In addition to the paralogous sequences disclosed above, orthologous sequences from other plant species were also identified using BLAST analysis. Such orthologous sequences, together with the paralogous sequences were determined to be members of the G682 TF family of Myb-related proteins (equivalogs). The paralogous sequences and the orthologous sequences were aligned using MACVECTOR software (Accelrys, Inc.). The software program also generated an exemplary consensus amino acid residue sequence of the aligned sequences.
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the orthologous sequences shared a consensus sequence with the conserved domain of G682 (amino acid residues 27-63 of SEQ ID NO:148) and also shared identity with regions flanking the conserved domain (flanking regions). In particular, G682 shared a region of the conserved domain with sequences from soy (Glycine max; SEQ ID NOs: 1084, 1085, 1086, 1083, 1087, and 1088), rice (Oryza sativa; SEQ ID NOs: 559, 1082, and 1081), and maize (corn) (Zea mays; SEQ ID NOs: 1089 and 1090).
An exemplary consensus of the conserved domain of the G682 TF family of Myb-related proteins is Val-Xaa-Met/Phe-Ser/Thr-Gln/Glu-Xaa-Glu-Glu-Asp-Leu-Val-Xaa-Arg-Met-His/Tyr-Lys/Arg-Leu-Val-Gly-Asp/Glu-Arg/Lys-Trp-Glu/Asp-Leu/Ile-Ile-Ala-Gly-Arg-Ile/Val-Pro-Gly-Arg, where Xaa is any amino acid residue. An alternative exemplary consensus of the conserved domain is Val-Xaa-Met/Phe-Ser/Thr-Gln/Glu-Xaa-Glu-Glu-Asp-Leu-Val-Ser-Arg-Met-His-Arg-Leu-Val-Gly-Asn-Arg-Trp-Glu-Leu-Ile-Ala-Gly-Arg-Ile-Xaa-Gly-Arg, where Xaa is any amino acid residue. A further alternative exemplary consensus of the conserved domain is Val-Xaa-Met/Phe-Ser/Thr-Gln/Glu-Xaa-Glu-Glu-Asp-Leu-Val-Ser-Arg-Met-Tyr-Xaa-Leu-Val-Gly-Asn/Glu-Arg-Trp-Ser-Leu-Ile-Ala-Gly-Arg-Ile-Pro-Gly-Arg, where Xaa is any amino acid residue.
Potential Applications
The potential utility of this gene or its equivalogs is to confer heat tolerance to germinating seeds.
G682 or its equivalogs could be used to alter trichome number and distribution in plants. Trichome glands on the surface of many higher plants produce and secrete exudates, which give protection from the elements and pests such as insects, microbes and herbivores. These exudates may physically immobilize insects and spores, may be insecticidal or ant-microbial or they may allergens or irritants to protect against herbivores. Trichomes have also been suggested to decrease transpiration by decreasing leaf surface air flow, and by exuding chemicals that protect the leaf from the sun.
G715 (SEQ ID NO: 149)
Published Information
G715 is a member of the Hap5 subfamily of CCAAT-box transcription factors. G715 corresponds to Hap5a, and was found to be expressed ubiquitously in Arabidopsis (Edwards, et al. (1998) Plant Physiol. 117: 1015-1022).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G715 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G715 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The expression of G715 appeared to be ubiquitous.
G715 overexpressors had higher seed oil content in the lines tested by NIR.
Potential Applications
G715 or its equivalogs could be used to increase seed oil content, which would be of nutritional value for food for human consumption as well as animal feeds.
G720 (SEQ ID NO: 151)
Published Information
G720 was described as APRR2, for Arabidopsis pseudo-response regulator (Makin et al. 2000 Plant Cell Physiol. 41:791-803). This designation reflects the fact that the protein contains significant homology to a receiver domain at the N-terminus, but has a glutamate in place of the conserved aspartate residue that is phosphorylated by a histidine kinase or phosphotransmitter protein.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G720 showed significant similarity to a drought-induced M. truncatula EST, GenBank accession number BG450227, that encodes a pseudo-receiver domain. The sequence similarity is high enough to suggest that the two proteins are orthologs, and the fact that G720 was also drought-induced is consistent with this hypothesis. Other ESTs from tomato and potato (BG642566, BG128919, BG129142, and BG887673) also showed high similarity to G720 and represent potential orthologs.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G720 (SEQ ID NO: 151) was determined A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G720 and lines overexpressing G720 under the 35S promoter were used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion in G720 was approximately half-way into the coding sequence, just before the conserved domain, and therefore should result in a null mutation. G720 knockout mutants were slightly more sensitive to freezing than the wild-type controls when the seedlings were cold-acclimated prior to freezing. G720 overexpressing lines were more tolerant to freezing. When seedlings were frozen at −10° C. for 20 hours, the G720 plants recovered better compared to the wild-type control in two separate experiments. G720 was induced by ABA, salt, osmotic stress, drought, heat, and auxin. The combination of enhanced sensitivity to freezing in the knockout mutants, enhanced resistance in the overexpressing lines, and the induction pattern of G720 comprised strong evidence that G720 functions in regulation of dehydration tolerance, as freezing is a form of dehydration stress.
Plants overexpressing G720 also showed reduced time to flowering in the T1 generation. One third of the 35S::G720 T1 seedlings, from each of two separate batches, flowered markedly earlier (up to 1 week sooner, 24-hour light conditions) than controls plants. All of the T1 lines showed high levels of G720 overexpression (determined by RT-PCR). Three early flowering T1 plants were selected for further study. However, none of these lines flowered early in the T2 generation, suggesting that activity of the transgene might have been reduced between the generations
Potential Applications
G720 or its equivalogs could be used to increase freezing tolerance in plants, and tolerance to other forms of moisture stress such as drought.
G736 (SEQ ID NO: 153)
Published Information
G736 was discovered as a full length EST clone. It was subsequently localized to BAC AC002341.
Experimental Observations
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G736 indicated that this gene was expressed at low to medium levels in all tissues tested. In addition, there was no induction of G736 above its basal level in response to environmental stress treatments.
Two out of three G736 overexpressing lines exhibited a severe late flowering phenotype in both the T1 and T2 generation, the third line was late flowering in the T1 generation but the phenotype was lost in the subsequent generation, most likely due to silencing of the transgene. All three lines exhibited elongated petioles in both generations, and in two of the T1 lines, failure of the siliques to elongate was also observed. This phenotype was lost in the subsequent generation.
Potential Applications
Overexpression of G736 and its equivalog may be used to substantially delay flowering. A wide variety of applications exist for genes that either lengthen or shorten the time to flowering, or for systems of inducible flowering time control. In particular, in species where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues are discarded, it would be advantageous to delay or prevent flowering. Extending vegetative development could bring about large increases in yields. Additionally, a major concern is the escape of transgenic pollen from GMOs to wild species or so-called organic crops. Systems that prevent vegetative transgenic crops from flowering would eliminate this worry.
G748 (SEQ ID NO: 155)
Published Information
A cDNA sequence for G748 was deposited in GenBank by Abbaraju and Oliver on Aug. 4, 1998. G748 encodes a protein containing a D of zinc-finger domain that was found to bind the H-protein promoter. The H protein is a component of the glycine decarboxylase multienzyme complex, that comprises over one-third of the soluble proteins in mitochondria isolated from the leaves of C3 plants (Oliver et al. (1995) Bioenerg. Biomembr. 27: 407-414). A published function for G748 is a putative regulatory role in H-protein gene expression, suggested by the promoter-binding data.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
Close relatives to G748 include a rice gene (GB accession # BAA88190) and a pumpkin gene (GB accession # D45066). In both cases, the similarity extends beyond the conserved DNA-binding domain, which suggests the genes could be orthologs of G748. The pumpkin gene encodes an ascorbate oxidase promoter-binding protein, suggesting that the product of G748 could also bind that promoter.
Experimental Observations
A cDNA sequence was isolated and used to produce transgenic plants overexpressing G748. Overexpression of G748 resulted in a late flowering phenotype. Transgenic plants were generally large and dark green with more rosette leaves. Stems were thicker and more vascular bundles were noticeable in transverse sections. G748 overexpressors also produced more lutein in seeds (consistently observed in three lines). The high lutein phenotype was confirmed in a repeat experiment. The physiology of the plant was similar to that of the controls. In wild-type plants, G748 was constitutively expressed, although at lower levels at the seedling stage. Expression levels were lower upon infection with E. orontii and Fusarium. 
Potential Applications
Experimental data showed that G748 or its equivalogs can be used to delay flowering in transgenic plants.
Arabidopsis plants overexpressing G748 produced more lutein in seeds.
Plants transformed with G748 had modified stem morphology and vascular bundles and may be used to affect overall plant architecture.
G779 (SEQ ID NO: 157)
Published Information
G779 has been previously identified; fruits from a ind1 knockout mutant plants do not show cell differentiation in the dehiscence zone (Liljegren et al. (2000) Abstracts 11th Intl. Conf. Arabidopsis Res., Madison, Wis., pp. 179). These results suggest that G779 may mediate cell differentiation during Arabidopsis fruit development.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G779 is closely related to a Brassica rapa subsp. Pekinensis cDNA isolated from flower bud (acc#AT002234).
Experimental Observations
The function of G779 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G779 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Morphological analysis of overexpressors indicated that primary transformants of G779 had high levels of anthocyanin in seedlings, produced small plants with disorganized rosettes and short internodes, and many had flower abnormalities. The transformants with flower abnormalities showed conversion of sepals to carpels. The most severely affected had full conversion of sepals to carpels with ovules, stigmatic tissue on petals and stamens, and in some cases showed organ fusions. In the severe case of one T1 line, some inflorescences showed no flowers at all. Plants with a weak phenotype showed only small patches of stigmatic tissue on sepals. The floral phenotypes decreased acropetally. The plants showing the strongest phenotypes were essentially sterile, and did not produce T2 progeny for further analysis.
The phenotype produced by overexpressing G779 and G1499 was similar in the aspects of flower structures. Cluster analysis using basic helix-loop-helix motif revealed that both proteins of G779 and G1499 are closely related. The fact that expression of G779 was induced by auxin treatment in the rosette leaves indicates that G779 may play some kind of role in the auxin signal transduction pathway.
Potential Applications
G779 or its equivalogs could be used to modify plant architecture and development, including flower structure. If expressed under a flower-specific promoter, it might also be useful for engineering male sterility. Because expression of G779 is flower, embryo and silique specific, its promoter could be useful for targeted gene expression in these organs.
G789 (SEQ ID NO: 159)
Published Information
A partial sequence of G789 was identified from an EST clone (GenBank accession number T41998).
Experimental Observations
G789 was initially identified as a public EST (GenBank accession number T41998) and subsequently a full length library clone was identified. The function of G789 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G789 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Overexpression of G789 reduced the time to flowering under continuous light conditions; this phenotype was most prevalent in the T2 generation and was noted in all three of the lines analyzed.
Transgenic plants overexpressing G789 were more sensitive to the herbicides glyphosate and acifluorfen and to oxidative stress caused by rose bengal compared to wild-type controls. Furthermore, G789 overexpressing lines were more susceptible to infection with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum when tested as mixed lines in two repeat experiments. This disease susceptibility phenotype did not repeat when individual lines were tested. It is well known that oxidative stress is a component of a plant defense response to pathogen and therefore, the disease susceptibility phenotype could thus be related to a general sensitivity to oxidative stress.
Based on the RT-PCR analysis, G789 was constitutively expressed in all tissues; its expression level was unaffected by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
Based on the current analysis of G789 overexpressing plants, G789 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate flowering time.
Since G789 activity has been shown to be required for the protection of Arabidopsis plants against oxidative stress, G789 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate defenses against abiotic and biotic stresses such as disease, UV-B radiation, ozone pollution and herbicide application.
G801 (SEQ ID NO: 161)
Published Information
A partial sequence for G801 was identified from EST clones (GenBank accession numbers N97289, H36373 and Z32574).
Experimental Observations
G801 is a proprietary sequence initially identified as three partial public ESTs (GenBank accession numbers N97289, H36373 and Z32574). Subsequently, a full length library clone was identified. The function of G801 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G801 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Morphological analysis revealed that a minority of primary transformants of G801 were dark green and late flowering. However, T2 lines derived from three late-flowering lines showed no flowering time differences from control plants. Plant overexpressing G801 showed more seedling vigor when germinated on media containing high salt compared to wild-type control plants. All three overexpressing lines showed similar degrees of tolerance. In addition, overexpression of G801 in Arabidopsis resulted in an increase in seed oil content. This phenotype was observed in a single line.
Potential Applications
The potential utilities of this gene or its equivalogs include the ability to confer salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant. This would most likely impact survivability and yield. Evaporation of water from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer, where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile.
In addition, G801 or its equivalogs may be used to increase seed oil in crop plants.
G849 (SEQ ID NO: 163)
Published Information
The transcription factor G849 is an Arabidopsis homolog of parsley BPF-1, a pathogen inducible DNA-binding protein. BPF-1, Box-P Binding Factor 1, was reported by da Costa e Silva et al. ((1993) Plant Journal 4:125-135) to bind specifically to the P-box sequence motif of the phenylalanine ammonia lyase promoter, a key enzyme of the phenylpropanoid metabolism. G849 is found in the sequence of chromosome 3, BAC T2E22 (GenBank AC069474.4 GI:12321944), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The start and stop codons were correctly predicted.
Experimental Observations
NIR analyses performed on G849 knockout plants revealed increased total combined seed oil and protein content.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous level of G849 transcripts revealed high constitutive expression in all tissues examined, with the exception of germinated seed. A detectable but low level of G849 transcripts was observed in germinated seeds. G849 transcript level increased significantly upon auxin, ABA, cold, heat and salt treatment, as well as seven days post-inoculation with Erysiphe orontii. 
Potential Applications
Based on the knockout analyses, G849 or its equivalogs may be used to modify seed oil and protein content.
The null mutant of G849 had altered seed phytosterol composition, a decease in beta-sitosterol, as well as changes in leaf insoluble sugars. Phytosterols are an important source of precursors for the manufacture of human steroid hormones by semisynthesis. Sitosterols and stigmasterols, not campesterol, are the preferred sources from seed crops. Phytosterols and their hydrogenated derivatives phytostanols also have proven cholesterol-lowering properties.
G859 (SEQ ID NO: 165)
Published Information
G859 corresponds to MXK3.30 (BAB 10332). The high level of sequence similarity between G859 and FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC; Michaels et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11, 949-956; Sheldon et al., (1999) Plant Cell 11, 445-458) has been described previously (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132). G859 has also been referred to as AGL31 (Alvarez-Buylla et al. (2000) Plant J. 24:457-466).
Experimental Observations
G859 was recognized as a gene highly related to Arabidopsis FLC, and to MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING 1. FLC acts as a repressor of flowering (Michaels (1999) Plant Cell 11, 949-956; Sheldon et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11, 445-458). Similarly, G157/MAF1 can cause a delay in flowering time when overexpressed (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132).
The function of G859 was studied using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G859 modified the timing of flowering, with very high levels of G859 activity delaying the floral transition in the Columbia ecotype. No alterations were detected in 35S::G859 plants in the physiological and biochemical analyses that were performed.
Under continuous light conditions, the majority of 35S::G859 primary transformants (overexpressing a construct containing a full-length cDNA, P1688) were earlier flowering than wild-type controls. This result was observed in multiple independent batches of T1 plants and in either continuous or 12 hour light conditions. However, in each selection of primary transformants, a small number of lines were late flowering. RT-PCR analyses demonstrated that all T1 plants overexpressed the transgene, but that the highest levels of expression were found in the late flowering transformants. Comparable results were also obtained when plants were transformed with a construct (P376) containing a shorter splice-variant of G859. The effects on flowering time caused by overexpression of G859, and the dependence of those effects on the transgene expression levels, mirror results previously obtained for G157/MAF1 (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132).
Seed was taken for T2 analyses from two late flowering primary transformants, and a T1 plant that had been early flowering. The progeny of the former two lines all appeared markedly late flowering, while the T2 plants from the third line were marginally late flowering. No convincing early flowering was observed in any the three T2 populations. Thus, in the second generation, the predominant effect of G859 activity was delayed flowering. In a follow-up experiment it was found that late flowering 35S::G859 T2 plants were photoperiod responsive, and were not sensitive to extensive vernalization treatments.
Potential Applications
G859 or its equivalogs could be used to alter flowering time.
G864 (SEQ ID NO: 167)
Published Information
G864 was identified in an Arabidopsis EST (H37693). G864 appears as gene AT4g23750 in the annotated sequence of Arabidopsis chromosome 4 (AL161560).
Experimental Observations
G864 was discovered and initially identified as a public Arabidopsis EST.
The complete sequence of G864 was determined, and G864 was found to be related to two additional Arabidopsis AP2/EREBP genes, G1421 and G1755. The function of G864 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G864 overexpressing plants exhibited a variety of phenotypic alterations. They were smaller than wild-type plants, and those with the strongest phenotypes were classified as dwarf. However, G864 overexpressing lines showed more seedling vigor in a heat stress tolerance germination assay compared to wild-type controls. Conversely, G864 overexpressing lines were also somewhat more sensitive to chilling. One of the three T2 lines analyzed showed significant increase in fucose and arabinose levels in leaves.
G864 was ubiquitously expressed, and was not significantly induced under any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
The germination of many crops is very sensitive to temperature. A gene that would enhance germination in hot conditions such as G864 or its equivalogs would be useful for crops that are planted late in the season or in hot climates.
G867 (SEQ ID NO: 169)
Published Information
G867 corresponds to RAV1 (Kagaya et al. (1999) Nucleic Acids Res. 27: 470-478). G867/RAV1 belongs to a small subgroup within the AP2/EREBP family of transcription factors, whose distinguishing characteristic is that its members contain a second DNA-binding domain, in addition to the conserved AP2 domain, that is related to the B3 domain of VP1/ABI3 (Kagaya et al. (1999) supra). It has been shown that the two DNA-binding domains of RAV1 can separately recognize each of two motifs that constitute a bipartite binding sequence and together cooperatively enhance its DNA-binding affinity and specificity (Kagaya et al. (1999) supra).
Experimental Observations
G867 was discovered and initially identified as a public Arabidopsis EST. G867 appeared to be constitutively expressed at medium levels.
G867 was first characterized using a line that contained a T-DNA insertion in the gene. The insertion in that line resided immediately downstream of the conserved AP2 domain, and would therefore be expected to result in a severe or null mutation. G867 knockout mutant plants did not show significant changes in overall plant morphology, significant differences between these plants and control plants have not been detected in any of the assays that have been performed so far.
Subsequently, the function of G867 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G867 overexpressing lines were morphologically wild-type and no phenotypic alterations in G867 overexpressing lines were detected in the biochemical assays that were performed. However, G867 overexpressing lines showed increased seedling vigor (manifested by increased expansion of the cotyledons) in germination assays on both high salt and high sucrose containing media, compared to wild-type controls.
The Arabidopsis paralogs G1930 (SEQ ID NO: 369) and G9 (SEQ ID NO: 1949) also showed stress related phenotypes. G9 exhibited increased root biomass, and thus could be used to produce better plant growth under adverse osmotic conditions. Genetic and physiological evidence indicates that roots subjected to various stresses, including water deficit, alter the export of specific compounds, such as ACC and ABA, to the shoot, via the xylem Bradford et al. (1980) Plant Physiol. 65: 322-326; Schurr et al. (1992) Plant Cell Environ. 15, 561-567).
G1930 plants responded to high NaCl and high sucrose on plates with more seedling vigor, and root biomass compared to wild-type control plants; this phenotype was identical to that seen in 35S::G867 lines. These results indicate a general involvement of this clade in abiotic stress responses:
The polypeptide sequences of G1930 and G9 share 72% (249/345 residues) and 64% (233/364 residues) with G867, respectively. The conserved domains of G1930 and G9 are 86% (56/65 residues) and 86% (56/65 residues) identical with the conserved domain of G867, respectively.
In addition to the paralogous sequences disclosed above, orthologous sequences from other plant species were also identified using BLAST analysis. Such orthologous sequences, together with the paralogous sequences were determined to be members of the G867 TF family of AP2 proteins (equivalogs). The paralogous sequences and the orthologous sequences were aligned using MACVECTOR software (Accelrys, Inc.). The software program also generated an exemplary consensus amino acid residue sequence of the aligned sequences.
As shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D, the orthologous sequences shared a consensus sequence with the conserved domain of G867 (amino acid residues 59-116 of SEQ ID NO:170) and also shared identity with regions flanking the conserved domain (flanking regions). In particular, G867 shared a region of the conserved domain with sequences from soy (Glycine max; SEQ ID NOs: 1184, 1183, and 1182), rice (Oryza sativa; SEQ ID NOs: 1176, 1177, and 1178), and maize (corn) (Zea mays; SEQ ID NOs: 1186 and 1185).
An exemplary consensus of the conserved domain of the G867 TF family of AP2 proteins is Ser-Ser-Lys/Arg-Tyr/Phe-Gly-Val-Val-Pro-Gln-Pro-Asn-Gly-Arg-Typ-Gly-Ala-Gln-Ile-Tyr-Glu-Lys/Arg-His-Gln-Arg-Val-Trp-Leu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Xaa-Glu/Asp-Glu-Glu/Asp-Glu/Asp-Ala-Ala/Val-Arg-Ala/Ser-Tyr-Asp-Val/Ile-Ala/Val-Val/Ala-Xaa-Arg-Phe/Tyr-Arg-Arg/Gly-Arg-Asp-Ala-Val-Thr/Val-Asn-Phe-Lys/Arg, where Xaa is any amino acid residue. An alternative exemplary consensus of the conserved domain is Ser-Ser-Lys/Arg-Tyr/Phe-Gly-Val-Val-Pro-Gln-Pro-Asn-Gly-Arg-Typ-Gly-Ala-Gln-Ile-Tyr-Glu-Lys/Arg-His-Gln-Arg-Val-Trp-Leu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Xaa-Glu/Asp-Glu-Glu/Asp-Ala-Ala-Ala-Arg-Ala-Tyr-Asp-Val/Ile-Ala/Val-Val/Ala-Xaa-Arg-Phe/Tyr-Arg-Arg/Gly-Arg-Asp-Ala-Val-Thr/Val-Asn, where Xaa is any amino acid residue. A further alternative exemplary consensus of the conserved domain is Ser-Ser-Lys/Arg-Tyr/Phe-Gly-Val-Val-Pro-Gln-Pro-Asn-Gly-Arg-Typ-Gly-Ala-Gln-Ile-Tyr-Glu-Lys/Arg-His-Gln-Arg-Val-Trp-Leu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Xaa-Gly-Glu-Ala/Asp-Glu/Asp-Ala-Ala/Val-Arg-Ala-Tyr-Asp-Val-Ala-Ala-Gln-Arg-Phe/Tyr-Arg-Arg/Gly-Arg-Asp-Ala-Val-Thr/Val-Asn-Phe-Arg, where Xaa is any amino acid residue.
Potential Applications
G867 or its equivalogs could be used to increase or facilitate seed germination and seedling growth under adverse environmental conditions, in particular salt stress.
G867 or its equivalogs may also be used to modify sugar sensing.
G869 (SEQ ID NO: 171)
Published Information
A partial cDNA sequence of G869 is available as public ESTs N65486. The sequence of G869 later appeared among the Arabidopsis sequences released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, in BAC T26J14 (GenBank accession number AC011915).
Experimental Observations
The complete cDNA sequence of G869 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G869 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G869 were small with spindly bolts. G869 transgenic plants showed alterations in leaf and seed fatty acid composition. In leaves, 16:0 levels decreased and 16:3 levels increased. These changes likely reflected alterations in the desaturation state of chloroplast membranes. In seeds, 18:1 levels increased significantly. The increase in the seed 18:1 fatty acid in two lines was observed in a repeat experiment. A decrease in 18:3 and 20:0 was also noted in these lines.
Alterations in the levels of leaf insoluble sugars were also detected, with the increase in fucose determined to be significant. In addition, G869 overexpressors were more tolerant to infection with a moderate dose of the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. The increase in resistance phenotype co-segregated with the dwarf phenotype. G869 plants showed additional morphological alterations, including poor fertility due to underdeveloped anthers.
Potential Applications
G869 or its equivalogs could be useful to manipulate the saturation levels of lipids in seeds. Alteration in seed lipid saturation could be used to improve the heat stability of oils or to improve the nutritional quality of seed oil.
As G869 transgenic plants have an altered response to the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii, G869 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G877 (SEQ ID NO: 173)
Published Information
G877 was identified in an Arabidopsis EST (N37131). G877 is contained in P1 clone MXK23 (GenBank accession number AB026656).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A non-Arabidopsis gene closely related to G877 is the tobacco gene NtWRKY4 (GenBank accession number AB026890). Similarity between these two genes extends beyond the conserved WRKY domain.
Experimental Observations
G877 was first discovered and identified as a public Arabidopsis EST. The complete sequence of G877 was determined.
A line was identified that contains a T-DNA insertion in the coding sequence of G877. The insertion likely resulted in a null mutation, since it resided upstream of the conserved WRKY domain sequence. Plants that were hemizygous for that insertion segregate 3 viable: 1 inviable seeds in the silique, and homozygous G877 knockout mutant plants were never obtained. Therefore, a (null) mutation in G877 results in embryo lethality.
G877 was ubiquitously expressed. G877 is likely to be involved in controlling some essential process(es) required for growth rather than specific aspects of embryo patterning and development. Alternatively, G877 might play different roles throughout the plant life cycle.
Potential Applications
The embryo lethal phenotype of a G877 mutation indicates that the gene is involved in the control of some essential aspect of growth and development. G877 or its equivalogs could therefore constitute an herbicide target, either by itself or by allowing the identification of other genes or processes essential for plant growth.
G881 (SEQ ID NO: 175)
Published Information
G881 corresponds to gene F28M20.10, first identified in the sequence of BAC clone F28M20 (released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative; GenBank accession number AL031004).
Experimental Observations
The complete cDNA sequence for G881 was determined. The annotation in GenBank for this gene (BAC AL031004) was found to be inaccurate. G881 was ubiquitously expressed, but appeared to be significantly induced in response to salicylic acid treatment. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G881 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G881 overexpressors appeared to be more susceptible to infection with a moderate dose of the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. Increased susceptibility to Erysiphe orontii was confirmed in repeat experiment. The induction of G881 expression by SA also implicated G881 in the disease response.
Potential Applications
Since G881 transgenic plants appear to have an altered response to the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii, G881 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G892 (SEQ ID NO: 177)
Published Information
G892 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone T13D8, GenBank accession number AC004473, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G892 was determined A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G892 was used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion of G892 was approximately 70% into the coding sequence of the gene and therefore was likely to result in a null mutation. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all assays performed. G892 appeared to be constitutively expressed at low or moderate levels in all tissues except in roots where expression was much higher. ABA or salt treatment caused a slight increase in the expression of G892.
G892 knockout mutants were found to have increased seed oil and decreased protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G892 or its equivalogs may be used to alter seed oil and protein content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G896 (SEQ ID NO: 179)
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G896 is very similar to a peppermint EST (AW255156). Since the homology extends beyond the conserved domain, G896 and the mint gene are likely orthologs.
Experimental Observations
A knock-out mutant was isolated, which contains a T-DNA insertion 40 base pairs downstream of the start codon. G896 knock-out plants were more susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum. In addition, G896 knockout plants had lower levels of lutein in seeds as compared to wild-type control plants. Otherwise, the knock-out plants had a wild-type morphological phenotype.
In wild-type plants, G896 was mostly expressed in roots. Changes in environmental conditions did not affect its expression.
Potential Applications
Since G896 transgenic plants have an altered response to the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, the gene or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G910 (SEQ ID NO: 181)
Published Information
G910 was identified as a gene in the sequence of BAC T22E19 (Accession Number AC016447), released by The Institute for Genomic Research.
Experimental Observations
The function of G910 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G910 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
G910 overexpression produced pleiotropic effects on plant development, but the most marked result was a delay in the transition to flowering. At early stages, 35S::G910 T1 lines appeared normal, but by around 20 days after sowing, most plants were clearly smaller than wild type and often had contorted or serrated leaves with short petioles. Approximately half of the T1 lines bolted at a normal time and produced rather thin inflorescences that yielded relatively few seeds. The remaining half of the T1 lines typically produced flowers between five and 30 days later than wild type. Although such late flowering plants initially appeared small, in many cases, by the time of bolting, they had attained a similar size and produced a much larger number of primary rosette leaves than controls. Two T2 lines showed a similar, but more extreme late flowering phenotype.
G910 was expressed at low levels in shoots and germinating seedlings, and at higher levels in flowers, rosette leaves, embryonic tissue and siliques. The expression of G910 was repressed by cold treatment and induced by NaCl treatment.
Potential Applications
Plants expressing G910 exhibited a delayed flowering time relative to controls. A wide variety of applications exist for genes or their equivalogs that either lengthen or shorten the time to flowering.
G911 (SEQ ID NO: 183)
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
An EST (GenBank accession AI352907) induced in the defense response of Brassica napus to Leptosphaeria maculans has extremely high homology both within and external to the conserved RING H2 domain.
Experimental Observations
The function of G911 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in Arabidopsis. RT-PCR of endogenous levels of G911 indicated this gene was expressed in all tissues tested. A cDNA array experiment confirmed this tissue distribution data by RT-PCR. Microarray data confirmed that G911 was overexpressed 23 fold. Other genes that were induced when G911 was overexpressed included RHA1b (another RING C2H3C2 transcription factor), pistilata, and a proline rich protein isolog. Plants overexpressing G911 looked healthier and had longer roots when grown on media lacking potassium compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
Plants overexpressing G911 or its equivalogs may be able to be grown with fertilizer lacking or containing low potassium.
G912 (SEQ ID NO: 185)
Published Information
G912 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone MSG15 (GenBank accession number AB015478; gene MSG15.6).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G912 is closely related to CBF1, CBF2, and CBF3, and also closely related to the members of the CBF-like subgroup of AP2/EREBP proteins from other plants, like AF084185 Brassica napus dehydration responsive element binding protein.
Experimental Observations
G912 was recognized as the AP2/EREBP gene most closely related to Arabidopsis CBF1, CBF2, and CBF3 (Stockinger et al (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:1035-1040; Gilmour et al. (1998) Plant J. 16:433-442). In fact, G912 is the only other AP2/EREBP transcription factor for which sequence similarity with CBF1, CBF2, and CBF3 extends beyond the conserved AP2 domain.
The function of G912 was studied using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G912 were more freezing and drought tolerant than the wild-type controls, but were also small, dark green, and late flowering. There was a positive correlation between the degree of growth impairment and the freezing tolerance. In addition, G912 expression appeared to be induced by cold, drought, and osmotic stress.
In addition, G912 overexpressing plants also exhibited a sugar sensing phenotype: reduced seedling vigor and cotyledon expansion upon germination on high glucose media.
These results mirror the extensive body of work that has shown that CBF1, CBF2, and CBF3 are involved in the control of the low-temperature response in Arabidopsis, and that those genes can be used to improve freezing, drought, and salt tolerance in plants (Stockinger et al., (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:1035-1040; Gilmour et al. (1998) Plant J. 16:433-442; Jaglo-Ottosen et al. (1998) Science. 280:104-106; Liu et al. (1998) Plant Cell. 10:1391-1406, Kasuga et al. (1999) Nat. Biotechnol. 17:287-291).
The polypeptide sequences of G40, G41, and G42 share 71% (140 of 195 residues), 68% (144 of 211 residues), and 65% (147 of 224 residues) identity with G912, respectively. The conserved domains of G40, G41, and G42 share 94% (64 of 68 residues), 92% (63 of 68 residues), and 94% (64 of 68 residues) identity with G912, respectively.
In addition to the paralogous sequences disclosed above, orthologous sequences from other plant species were also identified using BLAST analysis. Such orthologous sequences, together with the paralogous sequences were determined to be members of the G912 TF family of AP2/EREBP proteins (equivalogs). The paralogous sequences and the orthologous sequences were aligned using MACVECTOR software (Accelrys, Inc.). The software program also generated an exemplary consensus amino acid residue sequence of the aligned sequences.
As shown in FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 5F, the orthologous sequences shared a consensus sequence with the conserved domain of G912 (amino acid residues 51-118 of SEQ ID NO:186) and also shared identity with regions flanking the conserved domain (flanking regions). In particular, G912 shared a region of the conserved domain with sequences from soy (Glycine max; SEQ ID NOs: 1238, 1242, 1240, 1241, and 1243), rice (Oryza sativa; SEQ ID NOs: 1222, 1223, 1232, 1221, 1231, 1227, 1235, 1230, 1229, and 1228), and maize (corn) (Zea mays; SEQ ID NOs: 1246, 1247, 1244, and 1245).
An exemplary consensus of the conserved domain of the G912 TF family of AP2/EREBP proteins is His-Pro-IleNal-Tyr/Phe-Arg/Lys-Gly-Val-Arg-Gln/Arg-Arg-Gly/Asn-Xaa(1-3)-Lys/Arg-Trp-Val-Cys/Ser-Glu-Val/Leu-Arg-Glu/Val-Pro-Asn-Lys-Xaa(2)-Arg-Ile/Leu-Trp-Leu-Gly-Thr-Phe/Tyr-Xaa(2)-Ala/Pro-Glu-Met-Ala-Ala-Arg-Ala-His-Asp-Val-Ala-Ala/Met-Leu/Met-Ala-Leu-Arg-Gly-Xaa(1-8)-Ala-Cys-Leu-Asn-Phe-Ala-Asp-Ser-Xaa(1-5)-Val/Ile-Pro/Asp, where Xaa is any amino acid residue. An alternative exemplary consensus of the conserved domain is His-Pro-Ile/Val-Tyr/Phe-Arg/Lys-Gly-Val-Arg-Xaa-Arg-Gly/Asn-Xaa(1-3)-Lys/Arg-Trp-Val-Cys/Ser-Glu-Val/Leu-Arg-Glu/Val-Pro-Xaa(1-5)-Arg-Ile/Leu/Phe-Trp-Leu-Gly-Thr-Phe/Tyr-Xaa(2)-Ala/Pro-Glu-Xaa-Ala-Ala-Arg-Ala-His-Asp-Val-Ala-Ala/Met-Leu/Met-Ala-Leu-Arg-Gly-Xaa(1-8)-Ala-Cys/Ser-Leu-Asn-Phe-Ala-Asp-Ser-Xaa(1-5)-Val/Ile-Pro/Asp, where Xaa is any amino acid residue.
An exemplary flanking region consensus sequence of the G912 TF family of AP2/EREBP proteins is Pro-Lys-Xaa-Xaa-Ala-Gly-Arg (amino acids 37-43 of SEQ ID NO: 186), or Ala-Gly-Arg-Xaa-Lys-Phe (amino acids 41-46 of SEQ ID NO: 186) or Glu-Thr-Arg-His-Pro (amino acids 48-52 of SEQ ID NO: 186), where Xaa is any amino acid residue.
Potential Applications
G912 or its equivalogs could be used to improve plant tolerance to cold, freezing, drought, and salt stress. In addition, G912 or its equivalogs could be used to change a plant's flowering time and size.
G913 (SEQ ID NO: 187)
Published Information
G913 was identified in the sequence of clone MSG15; it corresponds to gene MSG15.10 (GenBank PID BAB11050).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G913 is highly similar to a Brassica napus protein, encoded by a gene represented by EST AI352878 MB72-11D PZ204.BNlib Brassica napus cDNA clone pMB72-11D 5′.
Experimental Observations
The cDNA sequence of G913 was determined. To investigate the function(s) of G913, this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter in transgenic plants. G913 overexpressing plants had dark green leaves that occasionally curled downward. These plants showed a delay in flowering and were also late senescing. Overexpressing G913 lines were more freezing tolerant and more drought tolerant than the wild-type controls.
In an ethylene sensitivity assay where the plants were tested for a triple response phenotype on plates containing ACC, G913 overexpressing plants showed stunting and curling in the hypocotyl region that was more exaggerated than the wild type triple response.
Potential Applications
G913 or its equivalogs could be used to improve plant tolerance to freezing and drought. G913 could also be used to manipulate the ethylene response.
G913 or its equivalogs may be used to delay flowering or senescence in plants. Extending vegetative development could bring about large increases in yields.
Additionally, a major concern is the escape of transgenic pollen from GMOs to wild species or so-called organic crops. Systems that prevent vegetative transgenic crops from flowering would eliminate this worry.
G922 (SEQ ID NO: 189)
Published Information
G922 corresponds to Scarecrow-like 3 (SCL3) first described by Pysh et al. (GenBank accession number AF036301; (1999) Plant J. 18: 111-119). Northern blot analysis results show that G922 is expressed in siliques, roots, and to a lesser extent in shoot tissue from 14 day old seedlings. Pysh et al did not test any other tissues for G922 expression. In situ hybridization results showed that G922 was expressed predominantly in the endodermis in the root tissue. This pattern of expression was very similar to that of SCARECROW (SCR), G306. Experimental evidence indicated that the co-localization of the expression is not due to cross-hybridization of the G922 probe with G306. Pysh et al proposed that G922 may play a role in epidermal cell specification and that G922 may either regulate or be regulated by G306.
The sequence for G922 can also be found in the annotated BAC clone F11F12 from chromosome 1 (GenBank accession number AC012561). The sequence for F11F12 was submitted to GenBank by the DNA Sequencing and Technology Center at Stanford University.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The amino acid sequence for a region of the Oryza sativa chromosome I clone P0466H10 (GenBank accession number AP003259) is significantly identical to G922 outside of the SCR conserved domains. Therefore, the gene represented by this region of the rice clone may be the ortholog of G922.
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G922 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Transgenic plants overexpressing G922 were more salt tolerant than wild-type plants as determined by a root growth assay on MS media supplemented with 150 mM NaCl. Plant overexpressing G922 also were more tolerant to osmotic stress as determined by germination assays in salt-containing (150 mM NaCl) and sucrose-containing (9.4%) media. Morphologically, plants overexpressing G922 had altered leaf morphology, coloration, fertility, and overall plant size. In wild-type plants, expression of G922 was induced by auxin, ABA, heat, and drought treatments. In non-induced wild-type plants, G922 was expressed constitutively at low levels.
Potential Applications
Based upon results observed in plants overexpressing G922, G922 or its equivalogs could be used to alter salt tolerance, tolerance to osmotic stress, and leaf morphology in other plant species. Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration of in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant would impact survivability and yield.
Altered leaf morphology could be desirable in ornamental horticulture.
G926 (SEQ ID NO: 191)
Published Information
G926 is equivalent to Hap2a (Y13720), a member of the CCAAT-box binding transcription factor family. The gene was identified by Edwards et al. ((1998) Plant Physiol. 117: 1015-1022), who demonstrated that G926 or AtHap2a were able to functionally complement a Hap2 deficient mutant of yeast suggesting that there is functional conservation between these proteins from diverse organisms. In addition, the AtHap2a gene was shown to be ubiquitously expressed in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G926 is most closely related to a Brassica napus protein (AAC49265). Similarity between the two proteins extend beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would indicate the genes are orthologous. No functional information is available for the Brassica napus protein.
Experimental Observations
Consistent with the published expression pattern (Edwards et al. (1998) Plant Physiol. 117: 1015-1022), G926 was determined to be ubiquitously expressed and transcript levels appeared to be unaltered by any environmental stress-related condition tested. A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G926 was used to determine the function of this gene.
The G926 knockout mutant line was morphologically wild-type. Physiological analysis revealed that in the presumed absence of G926 function, the plants became more tolerant to high osmotic conditions during germination. This osmotic stress tolerance could be related to the plant's apparent insensitivity to the growth hormone ABA. This was the second instance where a member of a CCAAT-box protein complex altered the plants osmotic stress response and ABA sensitivity during germination.
ABA plays an important regulatory role in the initiation and maintenance of seed dormancy. Lopez-Molina, L. et al. ((2001) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98: 4782-4787) describe a bZIP transcription factor, ABI5, that is involved in maintaining seeds in a quiescent state, preventing germination under adverse conditions such as drought stress. It is possible G926 also functions as part of this checkpoint for the germinating seeds and loss of G926 function promotes germination regardless of the osmotic status of the environment.
Potential Applications
G926 or its equivalogs could be used to improve plant tolerance to drought, and salt stress.
Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration of in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant would impact survivability and yield.
G961 (SEQ ID NO: 193)
Published Information
G961 was first identified in the sequence of the BAC clone F19D11, GenBank accession number AC005310, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The most related gene to G961 is a rice gene in accession number BAA84803.
Experimental Observations
The full length sequence of G961 was experimentally confirmed. The function of this gene was analyzed by knockout analysis. Plants homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G961 were wild-type for all assays performed.
Gene expression profiling by RT-PCR showed that G961 was primarily expressed in shoots, embryos and siliques at medium levels, and at low levels in flowers. RT-PCR data also indicated an induction of G961 transcripts accumulation upon heat treatment.
G961 knockout mutants were found to have altered seed oil content as compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G961 or its equivalog knockout mutants may be used to alter seed oil content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G971 (SEQ ID NO: 195)
Published Information
G971 corresponds to gene F28P10.30 (CAB41085).
Experimental Observations
The function of G971 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Overexpression of G971 produced a marked delay in the transition to flowering. The effect was noted, to varying extents, in approximately half of the 35S::G971 primary transformants. These plants flowered between one and three weeks later than controls under continuous light conditions. At later stages, most of the plants also appeared darker green and developed larger leaves than controls. Two of the three T2 populations selected for further study displayed a comparable, but rather more extreme late flowering phenotype to that seen in the parental plants. At early stages, seedlings from these two lines were relatively small, but recovered as development progressed, and eventually became larger than wild type. No alterations were detected in 35S::G971 plants in the physiological and biochemical analyses that were performed.
G971 was ubiquitously expressed and does not appear to be significantly induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G971 or its equivalogs could be used to modify flowering time characteristics. A wide variety of applications exist for systems that either lengthen or shorten the time to flowering.
In species such as sugarbeet where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues are discarded, it would be advantageous to delay or prevent flowering. Extending vegetative development could bring about large increases in yields.
G974 (SEQ ID NO: 197)
Published Information
G974 was first identified in a BAC-end sequence (B28553; partial G974 sequence). G974 corresponds to gene F16L1.8 (BAC F16L1, AC024228).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
Several AP2 proteins from a variety of species (Atriplex hortensis, Lycopersicon esculentum, Glycine max, Populus balsamifera, Medicago truncatula) exhibited sequence similarity with G974 outside of the signature AP2 domain sequence, and bear nearly identical AP2 domains. These proteins may be related.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G974 (SEQ ID NO: 197) was obtained and G974 was studied using transgenic plants in which G974 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Constitutive expression of G974 produced deleterious effects: the majority of 35S::G974 primary transformants showed a reduction in overall size and developed rather slowly compared to wild-type controls. These phenotypic alterations were not observed in the T2 generation, perhaps indicating silencing of the transgene. The T2 plants were wild-type in the physiological and biochemical analyses performed. G974 was ubiquitously expressed.
35S::G974 overexpressors had altered seed oil content.
Potential Applications
G974 or its equivalogs may be used to alter seed oil content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G975 (SEQ ID NO: 199)
Published Information
G975 has appeared in the sequences released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative (BAC F9L1, GenBank accession number AC007591).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The non-Arabidopsis gene most highly related to G975 is represented by L46408 BNAF1258 Mustard flower buds Brassica rapa cDNA clone F1258. The similarity between G975 and the Brassica rapa gene represented by EST L46408 extends beyond the conserved AP2 domain that characterizes the AP2/EREBP family. This Brassica rapa gene appeared to be more closely related to G975 than Arabidopsis G1387, indicating that EST L46408 may represent a true G975 ortholog. The similarity between G975 and Arabidopsis G1387 also extends beyond the conserved AP2 domain.
Experimental Observations
G975 (SEQ ID NO: 199) was identified as a new member of the AP2/EREBP family (EREBP subfamily) of transcription factors. G975 was expressed in flowers and, at lower levels, in shoots, leaves, and siliques. GC-FID and GC-MS analyses of leaves from G975 overexpressing plants showed that the levels of C29, C31, and C33 alkanes were substantially increased (up to ten-fold) compared with control plants. A number of additional compounds of similar molecular weight, presumably also wax components, also accumulated to significantly higher levels in G975 overexpressing plants. C29 alkanes constituted close to 50% of the wax content in wild-type plants (Millar et al. (1998) Plant Cell 11:1889-1902), suggesting that a major increase in total wax content occurred in the G975 transgenic plants. However, the transgenic plants had an almost normal phenotype (although small morphological differences were detected in leaf appearance), indicating that overexpression of G975 was not deleterious to the plant. Overexpression of G975 did not cause the dramatic alterations in plant morphology that had been reported for Arabidopsis plants in which the FATTY ACID ELONGATION1 gene was overexpressed (Millar et al. 1998, Plant Cell 11:1889-1902). G975 may regulate the expression of some of the genes involved in wax metabolism. One Arabidopsis AP2 sequence (G1387) that is significantly more closely related to G975 than the rest of the members of the AP2/EREBP family is predicted to have a function and a use related to that of G975.
Potential Applications
G975 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate wax composition, amount, or distribution, which in turn can modify plant tolerance to drought and/or low humidity or resistance to insects, as well as plant appearance (shiny leaves).
G975 or its equivalogs can also be used to specifically alter wax composition, amount, or distribution in those plants and crops from which wax is a valuable product.
G979 (SEQ ID NO: 201)
Published Information
G979 was first identified in a BAC-end sequence (B25031; partial G979 sequence). G979 corresponds to gene T12E18—20 (BAC T12E18, AL132971). No information is available about the function(s) of G979.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G979 was obtained. The function of this gene was studied using both transgenic plants in which G979 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter (April 2001), and a line with a T-DNA insertion in the gene. G979 codes for an AP2 protein of the AP2 subfamily, i.e., it contains two AP2 domains. The T-DNA insertion of the KO line lies in an intron, located in between the exons coding for the second AP2 domain of the protein, and is thus expected to result in a strong or null mutation. Whereas constitutive expression of G979 produced deleterious effects, the analysis of G979 KO mutant plants proved informative about the function of the gene. It was suggested that proteins of the AP2 subfamily were more likely to be involved in developmental processes (Riechmann et al. (1998). Biol. Chem. 379: 633-646). Fittingly, seeds homozygous for a T-DNA insertion within G979 showed delayed ripening, slow germination, and developed into small, poorly fertile plants, indicating that G979 is involved in seed development processes.
The difficulty in initially isolating, from heterozygous plants, progeny that was homozygous for the T-DNA insertion raised the possibility that homozygosity for that allele was lethal. Siliques of heterozygous plants were examined for seed abnormalities. Approximately 25% of the seeds contained in young green siliques were pale in coloration. In older, brown siliques, approximately 25% of the seeds were green and appeared slow ripening, whereas the remaining seeds were brown. Thus, it seemed likely that the seeds with altered development were homozygous for the T-DNA insertion, whereas the normal seeds were wild-type and heterozygous segregants.
Furthermore, it was observed that approximately 25% of the seed from G979 knockout heterozygous plants showed impaired (delayed) germination. Upon germination, these seeds produced extremely tiny seedlings that often did not survive transplantation. A few small and sickly looking homozygous plants could be grown, which produced siliques that contained seeds that were small and wrinkled compared to wild type.
A second, different, T-DNA insertion allele for G979 was identified as part of a TAIL PCR screen. Progeny of the heterozygous plant carrying that T-DNA insertion was either wild-type or heterozygous for the mutation, providing additional evidence for the disruption of G979 being the cause of the phenotypic alterations detected.
The initial analysis of the gene was performed using overexpressing lines. 35S::G979 transformants were generally smaller than wild type and developed spindly inflorescences that carried abnormal flowers with compromised fertility.
G979 expression was ubiquitous and not induced under any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
On the basis of the results obtained with G979 knockout mutant lines, it is possible that G979 or its equivalogs could be used to alter or modify seed germination, ripening and development properties and performance.
G987 (SEQ ID NO: 203)
Published Information
The genomic sequence of G987 is located on the Arabidopsis BAC clone T9I4 (gene T9I4.14) (GenBank accession number AC005315).
Experimental Observations
As determined by RT-PCR analysis, G987 was constitutively expressed in all tissues tested. A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G987 was used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion in G987 was approximately 4% into the coding sequence of the gene, and therefore is likely to result in a null mutation. G987 mutant plants could only be grown on sucrose-containing medium. Biochemical analyses of leaves from G987 mutants grown on sucrose-containing medium indicate that the mutants had reduced amounts of 16:3 fatty acids, the presence of two xanthophylls which were not present in wild-type leaves, the presence of gamma-tocopherol (which normally accumulates in seed tissue), and reduced levels of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
Potential Applications
The low amount of 16:3 and dramatic reduction in chlorophyll indicated that the gene controls some aspect of thylakoid membrane development. G987 or its equivalogs may control proplastid to chloroplast development. This could be tested by measuring the expression of some of the genes (e.g. LHCP) that are associated with the transition from proplastid to chloroplast. If this were the case, the gene or its equivalogs may be useful for controlling the transition from proplastid to chromoplast in fruits and vegetables. There may also be some applications where it would be desirable to change the expression of the gene or its equivalogs (e.g., prevent cotyledon greening in Brassica napus or campestris to avoid green oil due to early frost).
G988 (SEQ ID NO: 205)
Published Information
G988 corresponds to a protein annotated as hypothetical in BAC F20N2 (GenBank accession number AC002328) from chromosome 1 of Arabidopsis. The sequence for G988 can also be found on the chromosome 1 BAC clone T5A14 and is described in patent application WO 98/46759.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The amino acid sequence for the Capsella rubella hypothetical protein represented by GenBank accession number CRU303349 was significantly identical to G988 outside of the SCR conserved domains. The Capsella rubella hypothetical protein is 90% identical to G988 over a stretch of roughly 450 amino acids. Therefore, it is likely that the Capsella rubella gene is an ortholog of G988.
Experimental Observations
G988 (SEQ ID NO: 205) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G988 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G988 had multiple morphological phenotypes. The transgenic plants were generally smaller than wild-type plants, had altered leaf, inflorescence and flower development, altered plant architecture, and altered vasculature.
Plants overexpressing G988 were found to have decreased seed oil and increased seed protein. In one transgenic line overexpressing G988, an increase in the seed glucosinolate M39489 was observed.
In wild-type plants, G988 was expressed primarily in flower and silique tissue, but was also present at detectable levels in all other tissues tested. Expression of G988 was induced in response to heat treatment, and repressed in response to infection with Erysiphe. 
Potential Applications
Based on the observed morphological phenotypes of the transgenic plants, G988 or its equivalogs can be used to create plants with larger flowers. This can have value in the ornamental horticulture industry. The reduction in the formation of lateral branches suggests that G988 can have utility on the forestry industry. The Arabidopsis plants overexpressing G988 also had reduced fertility. This could actually be a desirable trait in some instances, as it can be exploited to prevent or minimize the escape of GMO (genetically modified organism) pollen into the environment.
G988 may also be used to modify seed oil and protein content.
G1040 (SEQ ID NO: 207)
Published Information
G1040 was identified in the sequence of BAC MF020, GenBank accession number AB013391, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. G1040 has been published as KAN4, one of a clade of four KANADI genes that are thought to promote abaxial cell fates in lateral organs (Eshed et al. (2001) Current Biology 11: 1251-1260).
Experimental Observations
A full-length cDNA corresponding to G1040 was isolated. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1040 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G1040 were found to produce seeds that were generally smaller and more rounded than control seeds, with a high proportion of irregularly-shaped seeds. No other morphological, physiological, or biochemical alterations were observed in these plants. G1040 may affect embryo development. G1040 was expressed throughout the plant, though at lower levels in shoots and rosette leaves than in other tissues.
Potential Applications
G1040 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate seed size and shape.
G1047 (SEQ ID NO: 209)
Published Information
G1047 was identified in the sequence of BAC T20K9, GenBank accession number AC004786, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G1047 were experimentally determined and the function of G1047 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G1047 overexpressing lines were more tolerant to infection with a moderate dose of the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. G1047 overexpression did not seem to have consistent a detrimental effect on plant growth or vigor, and the lines tested for resistance were reported as being wild-type morphologically. In addition, no difference was detected between those lines and the corresponding wild-type controls in all the biochemical assays that were performed.
G1047 was ubiquitously expressed, and it was not significantly induced under any of the conditions tested
Potential Applications
G1047 transgenic plants have an altered response to the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. Therefore, G1047 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G1051 (SEQ ID NO: 211)
Published Information
G1051 was initially identified in the sequence of BAC-end B77139 and subsequently the entire sequence of G1051 was disclosed in the sequence of BAC accession number AC005956, released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1051 is very similar to a rice bZIP transcription factor, accession number BAA96162, identified as part of the rice genome sequencing project. Homology between G1051 and this rice protein continues beyond the conserved domain, suggesting that they are orthologous.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G1051 were experimentally determined and the function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1051 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G1051 exhibited a delay in flowering and typically produced flower buds about one week later than controls in continuous light conditions. G1051 was constitutively expressed throughout the plant and not induced by any condition tested.
Potential Applications
G1051 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate flowering time in plants
G1052 (SEQ ID NO: 213)
Published Information
G1052 was identified in the sequence of BAC F9D24, GenBank accession number AL137081, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1052 is similar to a rice gene BAA96162. Homology between G1052 and the rice gene extends beyond the conserved domain, thus the two genes may be orthologous.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G1052 in BAC AL137081 were experimentally determined and the function of G1052 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G1052 exhibited a delay in flowering and typically produced flower buds about one week later than controls in continuous light conditions. Additionally, these plants had larger leaves and were generally more sturdy than wild type.
A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G1052 was also used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion of G1052 was approximately one third of the way into the coding sequence of the gene and therefore is likely to result in a null mutation. A decrease in the percentage of lutein and increase in the xanthophyll 1 fraction was detected in one line in two experiments.
Potential Applications
The flowering time phenotype associated with G1052 over-expression indicates a utility for G1052 or its equivalogs as genes that can be used to manipulate flowering time in commercial plants. In addition, if the G1052 can not be transmitted through pollen, G1052 or its equivalogs may be used as a tool for preventing transgenes from escaping from transgenic plants through pollen dispersal.
G1052 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate seed prenyl lipid composition. Lutein is an important nutraceutical, since lutein-rich diets have been shown to help prevent age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), which is the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 65. In particular, consumption of dark green leafy vegetables has been shown in clinical studies to reduce the risk of ARMD. In addition, lutein, like other xanthophylls such as zeaxanthin and violaxanthin, is an essential component in the protection of the plant against the damaging effects of excessive light. Specifically, lutein contributes, directly or indirectly, to the rapid rise of nonphotochemical quenching in plants exposed to high light. Crop plants engineered to contain higher levels of lutein could therefore have improved photoprotection, possibly leading to less oxidative damage and better growth under high light.
G1062 (SEQ ID NO: 215)
Published Information
G1062 corresponds to gene MLJ15.14 (BAB01738.1).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1062 protein shares extensive homology in the basic helix loop helix region with a cDNA from developing stem Medicago truncatula (AW691174) as well as a tomato shoot/meristem Lycopersicon esculentum cDNA (BG123327).
Experimental Observations
G1062 is a proprietary sequence initially identified from a library clone. The function of G1062 was analyzed by knockout analysis. The T-DNA insertion of G1062 was approximately 75% into the coding sequence of the gene and therefore is likely to result in a null mutation.
Homozygotes for a T-DNA insertion in G1062 showed slow growth and produced abnormal seeds. Knockout.G1062 plants displayed a longer leaf plastochron than wild type. Both generated flower buds at the same time, but wild-type plants had produced 9-11 rosette leaves at that point, compared to only 5-9 rosette leaves in the mutant (24 hour light). Following bolting, KO.G1062 inflorescences developed more slowly and were shorter than wild type. Knockout G1062 seeds appeared twisted and wrinkled in comparison to wild-type seed.
Physiological assays revealed that seedlings from a G1062 knockout mutant line have a light grown phenotype in the dark and were more severely stunted in an ethylene insensitivity assay when compared to the wild-type controls. This result indicated that G1062 may be involved in the ethylene triple response pathway. It is well known that ethylene is involved in the seed ripening process and therefore, the abnormal seed phenotype could be related to a general sensitivity to ethylene signal transduction pathway.
RT-PCR analysis indicated that the transcripts of G1062 were predominantly accumulated in the reproductive tissues. Its expression level appeared to be not affected by any treatments tested.
Potential Applications
G1062 or its equivalogs that alter seed shape are likely to provide ornamental applications.
Since G1062 is involved in the ethylene triple response pathway, G1062 could be used to manipulate seed or fruit ripening process, and to improve seed or fruit quality.
G1063 (SEQ ID NO: 217)
Published Information
G1063 corresponds to gene K21H1.2 (BAB10940.1).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1063 protein shared extensive homology in the basic helix loop helix region with a protein sequence encoded by Glycine max cDNA clone (AW832545) as well as a tomato root, plants pre-anthesis Lycopersicon sculentum cDNA (BE451174).
Experimental Observations
G1063 (SEQ ID NO: 217) is a member of a clade of highly related HLH/MYC proteins that also includes G779, G1499, G2143, and G2557. All of these genes caused similar pleiotropic phenotypic effects when overexpressed, the most striking of which was the production of ectopic carpelloid tissue. These genes can be considered key regulators of carpel development. A spectrum of developmental alterations was observed amongst 35S::G1063 primary transformants and the majority were markedly small, dark green, and had narrow curled leaves. The most severely affected individuals were completely sterile and formed highly abnormal inflorescences; shoots often terminated in pin-like structures, and flowers were replaced by filamentous carpelloid structures. In other cases, flowers showed internode elongation between floral whorls, with a central carpel protruding on a pedicel-like organ. Additionally, lateral branches sometimes failed to develop and tiny patches of carpelloid tissue formed at axillary nodes of the inflorescence. In lines with an intermediate phenotype, flowers contained defined whorls of organs, but sepals were converted to carpelloid structures or displayed patches of carpelloid tissue. In contrast, lines with a weak phenotype developed relatively normal flowers and produced a reasonable quantity of seed. Such plants were still distinctly smaller than wild-type controls. Since the strongest 35S::G1063 lines were sterile, three lines with a relatively weak phenotype, that had produced sufficient seed for biochemical and physiological analysis, were selected for further study. Two of the T2 populations (T2-28,37) were clearly small, darker green and possessed narrow leaves compared to wild type. Plants from one of these populations (T2-28) also produced occasional branches with abnormal flowers like those seen in the T1. The final T2 population (T2-30) displayed a very mild phenotype. Overexpression of G1063 in Arabidopsis resulted in a decrease in seed oil content in two T2 lines. No altered phenotypes were detected in any of the physiological assays, except that the plants were noted to be somewhat small and produce anthocyanin when grown in Petri plates. G1063 was expressed at low to moderate levels in roots, flowers, rosette leaves, embryos, and germinating seeds, but was not detected in shoots or siliques. G1063 was induced by auxin
Potential Applications
G1063 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate flower form and structure or plant fertility. One application for manipulation of flower structure can be in the production of saffron, which is derived from the stigmas of Crocus sativus. G1063 has utility in manipulating seed oil and protein content.
G1064 (SEQ ID NO: 219)
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1064 protein shares a close homology to an auxin-induced basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor from Gossypium hirsutum (PID:5731257) in the bHLH motif region as well as outside of this region. G1064 also has high similarity to a tomato germinating seedlings cDNA clone (AW649873).
Experimental Observations
G1064 was initially identified from a library clone collection. The function of G1064 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1064 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Physiological assays revealed that G1064 overexpressing lines were more susceptible to infection with a low dose of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea compared to the wild-type controls.
No morphological and biochemical alterations were observed in the overexpressing transgenic plants when compared to wild-type controls. Furthermore, RT-PCR analyses of the endogenous levels of G1064 indicated that this gene was uniformly expressed in all tissues and under all conditions tested.
Potential Applications
Since G1064 transgenic plants have an altered response to the pathogen Botrytis cinerea, G1064 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G1069 (SEQ ID NO: 221)
Published Information
The sequence of G1069 was obtained from EU Arabidopsis sequencing project, GenBank accession number Z97336, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other AT-Hook related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1069 protein shares a significant homology to a cDNA isolated from Lotus japonicus nodule library. Similarity between G1069 and the Lotus cDNA extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous. Therefore the gene represented by EST AW720668 may have a function and/or utility similar to that of G1069.
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G1069 was experimentally determined and the function of G1069 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1069 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Plants overexpressing G1069 showed changes in leaf architecture, reduced overall plant size, and retarded progression through the life cycle. This is a common phenomenon for most transgenic plants in which AT-HOOK proteins are overexpressed if the gene is predominantly expressed in root in the wild-type background. G1069 was predominantly expressed in roots, based on analysis of RT-PCR results. To minimize these detrimental effects, G1069 may be overexpressed under a tissue specific promoter such as root- or leaf-specific promoter or under inducible promoter.
One of G1069 overexpressing lines showed more tolerance to osmotic stress when they were germinated in high sucrose plates. This line also showed insensitivity to ABA in a germination assay.
Potential Applications
The osmotic stress results indicate that G1069 could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and, therefore, the gene or its equivalogs could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G1069 affects ABA sensitivity, and thus when transformed into a plant the gene or its equivalogs may diminish cold, drought, oxidative and other stress sensitivities, and also be used to alter plant architecture, and yield.
G1073 (SEQ ID NO: 223)
Published Information
G1073 has been identified in the sequence of a BAC clone from chromosome 4 (BAC clone F23E12, gene F23E12.50, GenBank accession number AL022604), released by EU Arabidopsis Sequencing Project.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1073 has similarity to Medicago truncatula cDNA clones (GenBank accession number AW574000 and AW560824) and Glycine max cDNA clones (AW349284 and A1736668) in the database.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1073 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1073 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Transgenic plants overexpressing G1073 were substantially larger than wild-type controls, with at least a 60% increase in biomass. The increased mass of 35S::G1073 transgenic plants was attributed to enlargement of multiple organ types including leaves, stems, roots and floral organs. Petal size in the 35S::G1073 lines was increased by 40-50% compared to wild type controls. Petal epidermal cells in those same lines were approximately 25-30% larger than those of the control plants. Furthermore, 15-20% more epidermal cells per petal were produced compared to wild type. Thus, at least in petals, the increase in size was associated with an increase in cell size as well as in cell number. Additionally, images from the stem cross-sections of 35S::G1073 plants revealed that cortical cells are large and that vascular bundles contained more cells in the phloem and xylem relative to wild type
Seed yield was increased compared to control plants. 5S::G1073 lines showed an increase of at least 70% in seed yield. This increased seed production was associated with an increased number of siliques per plant, rather than seeds per silique.
Flowering of G1073 overexpressing plants was delayed. Leaves of G1073 overexpressing plants were generally more serrated than those of wild-type plants. Improved drought tolerance was observed in 35S::G1073 transgenic lines.
Potential Applications
Transgenic plants overexpressing G1073 are large and late flowering with serrated leaves. Large size and late flowering produced as a result of G1073 or equivalog overexpression would be extremely useful in crops where the vegetative portion of the plant is the marketable portion (often vegetative growth stops when plants make the transition to flowering). In this case, it would be advantageous to prevent or delay flowering with the use of this gene or its equivalogs in order to increase yield (biomass). Prevention of flowering by this gene or its equivalogs would be useful in these same crops in order to prevent the spread of transgenic pollen and/or to prevent seed set. This gene or its equivalogs could also be used to manipulate leaf shape and drought tolerance.
G1075 (SEQ ID NO: 225)
Published Information
The sequence of G1075 was obtained from the Arabidopsis genome sequencing project, GenBank accession number AC004667, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other AT-Hook related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1075 is homologous to a Medicago truncatula cDNA clone (acc#AW574000
Experimental Observations
The function of G1075 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1075 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1075 produced very small, sterile plants. Pointed leaves were noted in some seedlings, and twisted or curled leaves and abnormal leaf serrations were noted in rosette stage plants. Bolts were short and thin with short internodes. Flowers from severely affected plants had reduced or absent petals and stamen filaments that partially or completely fail to elongate. Because of the severe phenotypes of these T1 plants, no T2 seed was produced for physiological and biochemical analysis.
RT-PCR analysis indicated that G1075 transcripts are found primarily in roots. The expression of G1075 appeared to be induced by cold and heat stresses.
Potential Applications
G1075 or its equivalogs could be used to modify plant architecture and development, including flower structure. If expressed under a flower-specific promoter, the gene or its equivalogs might also be useful for engineering male sterility. Because expression of G1075 is root specific, its promoter could be useful for targeted gene expression in this tissue.
G1084 (SEQ ID NO: 227)
Published Information
G1084 was discovered as a type 2 bZIP gene in BAC F19F24, accession number AC002392, released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G1084 were experimentally determined and the function of G1084 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1084 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Plants overexpressing G1084 showed more disease symptoms following inoculation with a low dose of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. G1084 expression appeared to be restricted to flowers and embryos and was not significantly induced by any conditions tested. Interestingly, one of twenty T1 plants showed heritable alterations in flower development. One explanation for this is that this phenotype was caused by silencing of endogenous G1084 in that particular line, causing a phenotype similar to that produced if G1084 was knocked out. No altered phenotypes were detected in any biochemical assay performed.
Potential Applications
G1084 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the plant defense response to produce pathogen-resistant plants.
G1089 (SEQ ID NO: 229)
Published Information
G1089 was initially identified as a gene represented by Arabidopsis EST H37430. Subsequently, the entire sequence of G1089 was identified in BAC F19K6, GenBank accession number AC037424, released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The most related gene to G1089 is a rice gene represented by NCBI entry g13124871. Similarity between G1089 and the rice gene extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous. Therefore the gene represented by the rice gene may have a function and/or utility similar to that of G1089
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G1089 were experimentally determined and the function of G1089 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G1089 overexpressing plants had reduced seedling vigor and were characterized as being small, yellow and sickly looking. In addition, a T-DNA knockout of G1089 was isolated. G1089 knockout mutant plants showed more tolerance to osmotic stress in a germination assay in two separate experiments. They showed more seedling vigor than wild-type control when germinated on plates containing high sucrose. G1089 appeared to be constitutively expressed.
Potential Applications
The osmotic stress results indicate that G1089 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and, therefore, may be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G1134 (SEQ ID NO: 231)
Published Information
A partial sequence of G1134 was identified from an EST clone (GenBank accession number AI099951).
Experimental Observations
A partial sequence of G1134 was identified from an EST clone (GenBank accession number AI099951). The 5′ end of the G1134 coding sequence was determined by RACE. The function of G1134 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1134 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Primary transformants of G1134 were small with strongly curled leaves. In the T2 generation, two lines had narrow, somewhat curled leaves and siliques with altered shape. A third line segregated for small size. Additionally, plants overexpressing G1134 showed an altered response to the growth hormone ethylene. Seeds that were germinated on ACC plates in the dark had longer hypocotyls than the corresponding controls and occasionally lacked the apical hook that is part of a typical ethylene triple response. In addition, seeds from all lines germinated in the dark have a partial light grown phenotype in that their cotyledons are open and the hypocotyl is straight instead of curled.
The results from morphological and physiological analysis indicated that G1134 protein may play important roles in the regulation of ethylene biosynthesis, ethylene signal transduction pathways, or photomorphogenesis. Analysis of G1134 overexpressors revealed no apparent biochemical changes when compared to wild-type control plants. Analysis of the endogenous expression level of G1134, as determined by RT-PCR, revealed that G1134 was predominantly expressed in flower tissues. Expression of G1134 was not induced by any of the environmental conditions or pathogens tested.
Potential Applications
G1134 or its equivalogs could be used to alter how plants respond to ethylene and/or light. For example, it could be used to manipulate fruit ripening.
G1140 (SEQ ID NO: 233)
Published Information
G1140 corresponds to gene AT4g24540 (CAB79364), and has also been referred to as AGL24 (Alvarez-Buylla et al. (2000a) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97:5328-5333; Alvarez-Buylla et al. (2000b) Plant J. 2000 24:457-466).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1140 shows sequence similarity outside of the conserved MADS domain with a variety of MADS proteins from different plant species, such as gi13448660 (MADS box transcription factor from Ipomoea batatas).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1140 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Overexpression of G1140 produced marked alterations in flower morphology, which were initially observed in a relatively small proportion ( 6/20 lines) of the T1 plants. Alterations included variations in organ size and number. In particular, increased numbers of petals and sepals were often present, and sometimes small carpel-like outgrowths were fused to the central pair of carpels. Additionally, petals sometimes displayed leaf-like characteristics. It should be noted, however, that these abnormalities were most prevalent in early flowers and that later-arising flowers were sometimes normal. Two of the lines selected for subsequent studies showed these floral phenotypes, which became much more extreme in the T2 populations. Some of the effects resembled those produced by strong apetala1 or apetala2 alleles. Lowermost floral nodes were replaced by shoot-like structures, which became increasingly flower-like towards the top of the inflorescence. In the lower structures, floral organs were not apparent and were replaced by bract-like organs that were not organized into whorls. Later ‘flowers’ had sepals and petals replaced by bract like organs, but individual ‘whorls’ could be discerned. Stamens and carpels often had bract-like characteristics and carpels were frequently unfused. Furthermore, internode elongation was commonly observed between floral whorls.
G1140 is a MADS box gene of the MIKC-type, and many members of that subfamily are involved in the control of flower development. Determination of the functions of MADS box genes has often required the characterization of loss-of-function mutants. However, G1140 knockout mutant plants were wild-type in morphology and development, as well as in the physiological and biochemical analyses that were performed. In that mutant line, the T-DNA insertion lies shortly downstream of the conserved MADS domain, within an exon. Within the Arabidopsis MADS-box gene family, G1140 is most closely related to G861/SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE, which is involved in the floral transition (Hartmann et al. (2000) Plant J. 21:351-360).
G1140 was expressed in roots, leaves, shoots, and floral tissues. G1140 expression was not detected in embryo, siliques, or germinating seedlings. The expression of the gene did not appear to be significantly induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
Based on the phenotypes observed in 35S::G1140 plants, the gene or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate flower structure and development.
G1143 (SEQ ID NO: 235)
Published Information
The sequence of G1143 was obtained from the Arabidopsis genome sequencing project, GenBank accession number AL031187, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH/Myc related proteins.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1143 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1143 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G1143 transgenic plants showed no consistent differences in morphology to wild-type controls. In a first sowing of the T2 populations, it was observed that the plants were possibly early flowering. However, this phenotype was not apparent in either a replant of the T2 lines or in any T1 plants.
As measured by NIR, G1143 overexpressing plants were found to have decreased seed oil content and increased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1143 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed oil and seed protein content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G1146 (SEQ ID NO: 237)
Published Information
G1146 corresponds to the ZWILLE and PINHEAD/ZWILLE gene described by Moussain et al. ((1998) EMBO J. 17: 1799-1809) and Lynn et al. ((1999) Development 126: 469-481). Moussain et al. have shown that G1146 is required to establish the central-peripheral organization of the embryo apex and that this step is critical for shoot meristem self-perpetuation. They indicate that G1146 is required to maintain stem cells of the developing shoot meristem in an undifferentiated state during the transition from embryonic development to repetitive post-embryonic organ formation. Based upon the results of Moussain et al from in situ hybridization analysis, G1146 is found in provascular cells at all stages of development.
Lynn et al. describe the phenotype of a plant with a mutation on G1146. Early in development, G1146 mutant plants have abnormal embryos, with aberrant division of the upper cells of the suspensor. In young seedling, there is a radially symmetric pin-like structure in the position normally occupied by the shoot apical meristem. As development proceeds, new shoot meristems eventually arise in the axils of the cotyledons. Phenotypes observed in older plants include trumpet-shaped leaves and abnormalities in the primary inflorescence. Based upon their results from northern blot analysis, G1146 expression can be detected in roots, leaves, siliques and inflorescences of developing and mature plants. In the developing embryo, G1146 expression is found in the embryo proper and in the uppermost cell of the suspensor, as determined by in situ hybridization analysis.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The amino acid sequence for a region of the Oryza sativa chromosome 6 clone OJ1057_A09 (GenBank accession number AP003986) is significantly identical to G1146 outside of the PAZ conserved domains. Therefore, the gene represented by this region of the rice clone may be the ortholog of G1146.
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1146 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Transgenic plants overexpressing G1146 had leaves that had a severe inward curl. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all other assays performed. G1146 expression was detected in all tissues tested, with expression being highest in flowers, rosette tissue, developing seeds and siliques. Expression of G1146 was not induced by any of the environmental or stress conditions tested.
Potential Applications
On the basis of analyses performed to date, G1146 or its equivalogs can be used in ornamental horticulture to create plants with altered leaf morphology.
G1196 (SEQ ID NO: 239)
Published Information
G1196 was identified by amino acid sequence similarity to ankyrin repeat proteins. G1196 is found in the sequence of the 4, BAC clone T16H5 (GenBank AL024486.1 GI:3250673), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The start and stop codons were correctly predicted. The closest homologous Arabidopsis protein is NPR1, which is required for development of systemic acquired resistance in plants (Cao et al. (1997) Cell 88:57-63).
Experimental Observations
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous level of G1196 transcripts revealed low constitutive expression in all tissue examined. G1196 transcript levels increased upon auxin, ABA, cold, heat and salt treatment, as well as 7 days post-inoculation with Erysiphe orontii. Plants treated with SA showed moderate accumulation of G1196 transcripts. The physiological analysis of a G1196 null mutant line revealed increased susceptibility to a low dose inoculum of Botrytis cinerea. This finding indicated that G1196 may play a similar role to NPR1 in disease pathways. Apart from disease susceptibility, the functional characterization of the G1196 null mutant revealed no significant changes in the biochemical profile, the morphology and development, or the response to biotic/abiotic stress treatments in comparison to the wild-type controls.
Potential Applications
Lack of G1196 activity in a null mutant has been shown to affect the onset of disease following inoculation with Botrytis cinerea. Therefore, G1196 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G1198 (SEQ ID NO: 241)
Published Information
The entire sequence of G1198 was reported in BAC T23G18, accession number AC011438, released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1198 is very similar to the tobacco bZIP transcription factor TGA2.2 (accession number AF031487). Similarity extends well beyond the conserved domain, suggesting that G1198 and TGA2.2 have similar functions.
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G1198 were experimentally determined and the function of G1198 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G1198 overexpressing plants were reduced in size with smaller, narrower leaves and had significantly increased levels of a glucosinolate as compared to wild type. G1198 did not appear to be expressed in rosette leaves, but was expressed in other tissues.
G1198 overexpressing plants were found to have increased seed oil content, as compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1198 or equivalog overexpression maybe used to alter seed oil content in plants, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G1225 (SEQ ID NO: 243)
Published Information
The sequence of G1225 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AB016882, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1225 was determined. G1225 expression was detected in rosette leaves, flowers, embryos and siliques. No expression was detected in shoots, roots or germinating seeds. G1225 was not induced by any condition tested. It may possibly be repressed by cold and Erysiphe infection.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1225 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G1225 overexpressors showed greener cotyledons and longer roots on high sucrose and glucose containing media compared to wild-type controls. This effect was seen in two of the three lines tested. G1225 may thus be involved in sugar sensing. Plants overexpressing G1225 were also found to flower earlier than control plants. 35S::G1225 transformants from two independent T2 lines produced visible flower buds several days earlier than controls, in each of two separate plantings. A similar decrease in flowering time was also seen in thirteen out of twenty T1 lines. In fact, 35S::G1225 seedlings appeared to develop rather more rapidly than wild type and progressed through the lifecycle at a faster rate. Overexpression of G1225 in Arabidopsis did not result in any biochemical phenotypic alteration.
The sugar sensing phenotype of G1225 overexpressing plants may be related to the early flowering phenotype. Sugars are central regulatory molecules that control several aspects of plant physiology, metabolism, and development, including flowering.
Potential Applications
G1225 or its equivalogs may be useful for accelerating flowering time.
The sugar sensing phenotype of G1225 indicates that this gene or its equivalogs may be also useful for altering source-sink relationships or other sugar regulated processes.
G1226 (SEQ ID NO: 245) Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was studied using transgenic plants in which G1226 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Approximately 50% of 35S::G1226 primary transformants flowered earlier than wild-type controls under continuous light conditions. However, no correlation was noted between transgene expression level (determined by RT-PCR, not shown) and this phenotype; some T1 plants that appeared wild-type clearly expressed the transgene. Marginally early flowering was noted in one of three T2 lines, but the other two lines appeared wild-type. Kanamycin segregation data indicated that all three lines contained single locus transgene insertions. RT-PCR analysis indicates that G1226 was constitutively expressed in all tissues, with the exception of roots.
As measured by NIR, G1226 overexpressors had increased seed oil content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1226 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed oil content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1226 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the flowering time.
G1229 (SEQ ID NO: 247) Experimental Observations
RT-PCR analysis indicated that G1229 was expressed in all tissues except roots. Its expression level was increased by auxin treatment and repressed by Erysiphe treatment.
The function of G1229 was studied using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1229 strongly influenced plant development. G1229 T1 overexpressing plants were consistently small, paler in color, had rounder leaves, and were slower growing than wild type. These effects were attenuated to some extent in the T2 generation, but were still apparent in two of the three lines analyzed. Physiological assays revealed that G1229 overexpressing lines had reduced seed germination and seedling vigor compared to wild-type plants when grown on MS plates. Plants from G1229 overexpressing lines also showed an ethylene sensitive phenotype when germinated in the dark on media containing ACC. However, because germination was generally poor, the interpretation of this phenotype is difficult.
A single line showed a number of additional phenotypic differences; in this line flower structure was altered and abnormal seed was produced that appeared darker and more wrinkled than wild-type seed. Seeds from this line showed a significant decrease in oil content as measured by NIR. This observation has been repeated. It is possible that these multiple phenotypes could be due to disruption of an endogenous gene by the transgene insertion, rather than to overexpression of G1229.
Potential Applications
Based on the current analysis of G1229 overexpressing plants, potential utilities for G1229 or its equivalogs are decrease seed oil contents in crop plants.
G1255 (SEQ ID NO: 249)
Published Information
G1255 was identified as a gene in the sequence of BAC AC079281, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1255 showed strong homology to a putative rice zing finger protein represented by sequence AC087181—3. Sequence identity between these two proteins extends beyond the conserved domain, and therefore, these genes can be orthologs.
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G1255 (SEQ ID NO: 249) was experimentally determined and G1255 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1255 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G1255 had alterations in leaf architecture, a reduction in apical dominance, an increase in seed size, and showed more disease symptoms following inoculation with a low dose of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. G1255 was constitutively expressed and not significantly induced by any conditions tested
Potential Applications
On the basis of the phenotypes produced by overexpression of G1255, G1255 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the plant's defense response to produce pathogen resistance, alter plant architecture, or alter seed size.
G1266 (SEQ ID NO: 251)
Published Information
G1266 corresponds to ERF1, ‘ethylene response factor 1’ (GenBank accession number AF076277) (Solano et al. (1998) Genes Dev. 12: 3703-3714). ERF1 was isolated in a search for Arabidopsis EREBP-like genes using a PCR-based approach. ERF1 expression was shown to be rapidly induced by ethylene, and to be dependent on the presence of functional EIN3 (ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE3), as no expression was detected in ein3-1 mutants (Solano et al. (1998) supra). Furthermore, ERF1 mRNA showed constitutive high-level expression in 35S::EIN3-expressing transgenic plants, and EIN3 was shown to bind to sequences in the ERF1 promoter in a sequence-specific manner (Solano et al. (1998) supra). All these results indicated that ERF1 is downstream of EIN3 in the ethylene signaling pathway, and that both proteins act sequentially in a cascade of transcriptional regulation initiated by ethylene gas (Solano et al. (1998) supra). ERF1 binds specifically to the GCC element, which is a particular type of ethylene response element that is found in the promoters of genes induced upon pathogen attack (Solano et al., (1998) supra). 35S::ERF1-expressing transgenic plants displayed phenotypes similar to those observed in the constitutive ethylene response mutant ctrl or in wild-type plants exposed to ethylene; however, expression of only a partial seedling triple response in these lines indicated that ERF1 mediates only a subset of the ethylene responses (Solano et al. (1998) supra). At the adult stage, 35S::ERF1-expressing transgenic plants showed a dwarf phenotype, and some ethylene-inducible genes, like basic-chitinase and PDF1.2 were constitutively activated in those lines (Solano et al. (1998) supra). All these results showed that ERF1 is a downstream ethylene signaling pathway gene.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The sequences of Nicotiana tabacum S25-XP1 (GenBank accession number AAB38748) and G1266 are very similar, with similarity between the two proteins extending beyond the conserved AP2 domain.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1266 was further analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. As expected from the previously published work, G1266 overexpressing plants showed a dwarf phenotype. In physiological assays, it was shown that G1266 overexpressing plants were more tolerant to infection with a moderate dose of the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. The resistance phenotype to the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii has been repeated. This phenotype might be a consequence of ERF1 being a downstream ethylene signaling pathway gene. Constitutive expression of G1266 might accelerate leaf senescence, which in turn might impair infection by Erysiphe orontii. 
In addition, when analyzed for leaf insoluble sugar composition, three lines showed alterations in rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, and mannose, and galactose when compared with wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1266 has been shown to be a downstream ethylene signaling pathway gene, and experiments implicate this gene in the plant response to the fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. G1266 or its equivalogs could therefore be used to engineer plants with a modulated response to that and other pathogens, for example, plants showing increased resistance.
G1275 (SEQ ID NO: 253)
Published Information
G1275 was first identified in the sequence of BAC T19G15 (GenBank accession number AC005965).
Experimental Observations
The cDNA sequence of G1275 was determined. G1275 was ubiquitously expressed, although expression levels differed among tissues. It is possible that G1275 expression is induced by several stimuli, including infection by Erysiphe, Fusarium, and SA treatment.
The function(s) of G1275 were investigated using both knock-out mutants and overexpressing plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Primary transformants of G1275 were small with reduced apical dominance. The inflorescence stems produced by these plants did not elongate normally. The plants were fertile, but seed yield was reduced because the plants were severely dwarfed.
In the knock-out mutant, the T-DNA insertion in G1275 was localized in the second intron of the gene, which is located within the conserved WRKY-box. Such insertion would result in a null mutation (unless the large fragment of exogenous sequence is perfectly spliced out from the transcribed G1275 pre-mRNA). G1275 knock-out mutant plants were indistinguishable from wild-type controls in all assays performed.
Potential Applications
G1275 or its equivalogs might be used to alter plant development or architecture.
G1305 (SEQ ID NO: 255)
Published Information
G1305 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of myb transcription factors. G1305 corresponds to the gene MYB10 (Kranz et al. (1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1305 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1305 in Arabidopsis resulted in seedlings that were more tolerant to heat in a germination assay. Seedlings from G1305 overexpressing transgenics were greener than the control seedlings under high temperature conditions. In a repeat experiment, two lines showed the heat tolerant phenotype. In addition, plants from two of the 35S::G1305 T2 lines flowered several days earlier than wild type in each of two independent sowings (24 hour light conditions). The plants had rather flat leaves compared to controls and formed slightly thin inflorescences in some cases.
According to RT-PCR, G1305 was expressed ubiquitously and expression of the gene was unaltered in response to the environmental stress-related conditions tested.
Potential Applications
On the basis of the analyses performed to date, the potential utility of G1305 or its equivalogs is to regulate a plant's time to flower.
G1305 or its equivalogs may also be used to improve heat tolerance at germination. The germination of many crops is very sensitive to temperature. A gene that would enhance germination in hot conditions may be useful for crops that are planted late in the season or in hot climates.
G1322 (SEQ ID NO: 257)
Published Information
G1322 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of myb transcription factors. G1322 corresponds to Myb57, a gene identified by Kranz et al. ((1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276). The authors used a reverse-Northern blot technique to study the expression of this gene in a variety of tissues and under a variety of environmental conditions. They were unable to detect the expression of G1322 in any tissue or treatments tested (Kranz et al. (1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1322 shows sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved Myb domain.
Experimental Observations
G1322 (SEQ ID NO: 257) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G1322 transgenic plants were wild-type in phenotype with respect to the biochemical analyses performed. Overexpression of G1322 produced changes in overall plant size and leaf development. At all stages, 35S::G1322 plants were distinctly smaller than controls and developed curled dark-green leaves. Following the switch to flowering, the plants formed relatively thin inflorescence stems and had a rather poor seed yield. In addition, overexpression of G1322 resulted in plants with an altered etiolation response as well as enhanced tolerance to germination under chilling conditions. When germinated in the dark, G1322 overexpressing transgenic plant lines had open, slightly green cotyledons. Under chilling conditions, all three transgenic lines displayed a similar germination response, seedlings were slightly larger and had longer roots. In addition, an increase in the leaf glucosinolate M39480 was observed in all three T2 lines. According to RT-PCR analysis, G1322 was expressed primarily in flower tissue.
Potential Applications
The utilities of G1322 or its equivalogs include altering a plant's chilling sensitivity and altering a plant's light response. The germination of many crops is very sensitive to cold temperatures. A gene that will enhance germination and seedling vigor in the cold has tremendous utility in allowing seeds to be planted earlier in the season with a higher survival rate.
G1322 or its equivalogs can also be useful for altering leaf glucosinolate composition. Increases or decreases in specific glucosinolates or total glucosinolate content are desirable depending upon the particular application. Modification of glucosinolate composition or quantity can therefore afford increased protection from predators. Furthermore, in edible crops, tissue specific promoters can be used to ensure that these compounds accumulate specifically in tissues, such as the epidermis, which are not taken for consumption.
G1323 (SEQ ID NO: 259)
Published Information
Kranz et al. ((1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276) published a partial cDNA sequence corresponding to G1323, naming it MYB58. Reverse-Northern data indicates that this gene is expressed primarily in leaf tissue.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1323 was determined. As determined by RT-PCR, G1323 was highly expressed in embryos, and was expressed at significantly lower levels in the other tissues tested. G1323 expression was not induced by any stress-related treatments. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1323 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Primary transformants of G1323 were uniformly small and dark green, and a few were late flowering. According to the biochemical analysis of G1323 overexpressors, two had higher seed protein. The higher seed protein and lower seed oil content was observed in a repeated experiment.
Potential Applications
G1323 or its equivalogs could be used to alter seed protein and oil amounts and/or composition, which is very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G1330 (SEQ ID NO: 261)
Published Information
G1330 is a member of the R2-R3 subfamily of Myb transcription factors. Kranz et al. ((1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276) published a partial cDNA sequence corresponding to G1330, naming it MYB78. Expression of this gene was not detected by Reverse-Northern analysis in any tissue or under any environmental treatment tested.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1330 is closely related to a family of novel myb-related genes (Cpm5, 7 and 10) from the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum are specifically expressed in callus and roots in response to ABA or desiccation (Iturriaga et al. (1996) Plant Mol. Biol. 32: 707-716) as well as to myb genes from several other crop species. The most related gene to G1330 is a tomato gene represented by EST EST276215. Similarity between G1330 and the tomato gene extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous. Therefore the gene represented by EST 276215 and the cpm genes may have a function and/or utility similar to that of G1330.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1330 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1330 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1330 produced changes in plant growth and development. 35S::G1330 primary transformants were consistently small with abnormal phyllotaxy, and often developed spindly inflorescences that yielded few seeds. These effects were also observed in the T2 generation; all three lines appeared markedly small at the seedling stage and often did not survive the transfer from agar plates to soil. High anthocyanin levels were also noted in the T2 (and T3) seedlings of one line. At later stages, T2 plants appeared spindly and had very poor seed yield. Kanamycin segregation data were consistent with 35S::G1330 having deleterious effects; all three lines had a deficit of resistant plants, indicating that the transgene might be lethal above a certain threshold dosage.
Plants from G1330 overexpressing lines showed an ethylene insensitive phenotype when germinated in the dark on media containing ACC. Seedlings from the three lines tested lacked components of the triple response including the apical hook and to some degree, stunting of the hypocotyl. In addition, plants from the three overexpressing lines had open cotyledons in the dark, which indicated this gene is involved in a light dependent response,
As determined by RT-PCR, G1330 was highly expressed in roots, and was expressed at significantly lower levels in flowers, embryos and seedlings. No expression of G1330 was detected shoots, rosette leaves or siliques. G1330 expression was repressed in rosette leaves by cold, and osmotic stress treatments and by infection with the phytopathogen Erysiphe orontii. 
Potential Applications
Because anti-oxidants such as tocopherols and carotenoids are reported to have anti-cancer and other nutritional properties, G1330 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the nutritional qualities of plants.
G1330 or its equivalogs could be used to alter how plants respond to ethylene. For example, it could be used to manipulate fruit ripening.
G1331 (SEQ ID NO: 263)
Published Information
G1331 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of myb transcription factors. G1331 corresponds to Myb79, a gene identified by Kranz et al. ((1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276). The authors used a reverse-Northern blot technique to study the expression of this gene in a variety of tissues and under a variety of environmental conditions. Kranz et al. were unable to detect the expression of G1331 in any tissue or treatments tested (supra).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1331 shows sequence similarity with a protein from alfalfa (BF644787).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1331 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1331 in Arabidopsis did not result in any biochemical phenotypic alteration. However, G1331 overexpression produced highly pleiotropic developmental effects including; changes in leaf morphology, anthocyanin accumulation, inflorescence abnormalities, and a reduction in overall plant size. In addition, overexpression of G1331 also resulted in seedlings with an altered response to light. In a germination assay conducted in darkness, G1331 seedlings showed opened cotyledons in all three lines.
G1331 was expressed at low levels in shoots, roots, rosette leaves, and siliques. G1331 was induced by heat and SA.
Potential Applications
G1331 modifies light response and thus this gene or its equivalogs may be useful for modifying plant growth or development, for example, photomorphogenesis in poor light, or accelerating flowering time in response to various light intensities, quality or duration to which a non-transformed plant would not similarly respond. Elimination of shading responses may allow increased planting densities with subsequent yield enhancement.
G1332 (SEQ ID NO: 265)
Published Information
G1332 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of myb transcription factors. G1332 corresponds to the gene MYB82 (Kranz et al. (1998) Plant J. 16: 263-276).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1332 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1332 produced a reduction in trichome density on leaf surfaces and inflorescence stems in Arabidopsis. No other phenotypic alterations were observed in the G1332 overexpressors.
G1332 was expressed ubiquitously and may have been repressed by Erysiphe infection.
Potential Applications
The potential utility of this gene or its equivalogs is to alter trichome initiation and number in a plant. It would be of great agronomic value to have plants that produce greater numbers of glandular trichomes that produce valuable essential oils for the pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as oils that protect plants against insect and pathogen attack.
G1363 (SEQ ID NO: 267)
Published Information
G1363 was identified based on its similarity to other members of the Hap2-like CCAAT-box binding factors. The gene was found in the sequence of BAC MDC16, GenBank accession number AB019229, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1363 was determined. The function of this gene was then analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1363 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Transformants were morphologically indistinguishable from wild-type plants. Biochemical analysis of one line indicated the seeds had higher 16:0 in fatty acid content. In addition, plants overexpressing G1363 showed fewer disease symptoms following infection with the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum compared to control plants. The experiment was repeated on individual lines, and all three lines showed the phenotype. Wild-type control plants were smaller in the repeat experiment, which could affect the disease severity of these plants and accentuate the degree of tolerance in the overexpressors.
RT-PCR analyses of the endogenous levels of G1363 indicated that this gene was expressed in all tissues and under all conditions tested.
Potential Applications
Since G1363 activity has been shown to affect the response of transgenic plants to the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, G1363 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G1411 (SEQ ID NO: 269)
Published Information
G1411 was identified in the sequence of TAC clone K22G18 (GenBank accession number AB022212).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1411 was determined. The function of G1411 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G1411 overexpressing plants were smaller than wild-type controls and showed reduced apical dominance: axillary shoots develop prematurely amongst primary rosette leaves, resulting in a bushy plant. G1411 overexpressing plants behaved like the corresponding wild-type controls in all physiological and biochemical assays that were performed.
Potential Applications
G1411 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate plant architecture.
G1417 (SEQ ID NO: 271)
Published Information
G1417 corresponds to gene AT4g01720 (CAB77742).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1417 shows sequence similarity, outside of the conserved WRKY domain, with a rice protein (gi8467950).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1417 was studied using a line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in the gene. The T-DNA insertion lies immediately upstream of the conserved WRKY domain coding sequence, and was expected to result in a null mutation. G1417 knockout mutant plants showed reduced seedling vigor during germination. The G1417 knockout showed alterations in seed fatty acid composition. An increase in 18:2 fatty acid and a decrease in 18:3 fatty acid were observed in two seed batches.
G1417 was ubiquitously expressed and did not appear to be significantly induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G1417 or its equivalogs could be useful to manipulate the saturation levels of lipids in seeds. Alteration in seed lipid saturation could be used to improve the heat stability of oils or to improve the nutritional quality of seed oil.
G1419 (SEQ ID NO: 273)
Published Information
G1419 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone MWD22; it corresponds to gene MWD22.13 (GenBank PID BAA97381).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1419 is most closely related to some non-Arabidopsis AP2/EREBP proteins that have been suggested to be involved in the ethylene response, like tobacco EREBP-4.
Experimental Observations
To investigate the function(s) of G1419, this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter in transgenic plants. G1419 overexpressing plants were essentially indistinguishable from wild-type controls in all assays performed. Two T2 lines showed altered biochemical phenotypes that were different in each one of them: One line had higher 16:0 when assayed for seed frames, and another line had higher seed protein.
G1419 appeared to be ubiquitously expressed.
Potential Applications
G1419 or its equivalogs could be used to increase seed protein, which is very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G1449 (SEQ ID NO: 275)
Published Information
G1449 is annotated in the sequence of genomic clone MKP6, GenBank accession number AB022219, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
A cDNA clone corresponding to G1449 was isolated from an embryo cDNA library. It was later identified in the sequence of genomic clone MKP6, GenBank accession number AB022219, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
G1449 was expressed at high levels in embryos and siliques, and at significantly lower levels in roots and seedlings. It was induced by auxin in leaf tissue. Plants overexpressing G1449 showed floral abnormalities. Primary transformants showed changes in floral organ number and identity. Large petals were noted in one plant. Affected lines were also somewhat smaller than controls. These plants produced little seed and it was necessary to bulk seed for analysis. One T3 line produced flowers that were somewhat larger than control flowers with petals that were more open. These flowers often had extra petals. G1449 mutant plants did not show any other phenotypic alterations in any of the physiological or biochemical assays performed.
Potential Applications
Because larger and more open petals are produced in some G1449 overexpressing plants, G1449 or its equivalogs may be useful for modifying flower form and size in ornamental plants. The promoter of G1449 may also be useful to drive gene expression in seeds and seed pods or fruits.
G1451 (SEQ ID NO: 277)
Published Information
G1451 is ARF8, a member of the ARF class of proteins with a VP1-like N-terminal domain and a C-terminal domain with homology to Aux/IAA proteins. ARF8, like several other ARFs, contains a glutamine-rich central domain that can function as a transcriptional activation domain (1). ARF8 was shown to bind to an auxin response element (2). It was also shown that a truncated version of ARF8 lacking the DNA binding domain but containing the activation domain and the C-terminal domain could activate transcription on an auxin responsive promoter, presumably through interactions with another factor bound to the auxin response element (1). ARF8 is closely related in sequence to ARF6 (2).
Experimental Observations
G1451 was expressed throughout the plant, with the highest expression in flowers. Transcripts of G1451 were induced in leaves by a variety of stress conditions. A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G1451 was used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion of G1451 is approximately one-fifth of the way into the coding sequence of the gene and therefore is likely to result in a null mutation.
As measured by NIR, G1451 knockout mutants had increased total combined seed oil and seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1451 or its equivalogs may be used to alter seed oil and protein content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1451 or its equivalogs could also be used to increase plant biomass. Large size is useful in crops where the vegetative portion of the plant is the marketable portion since vegetative growth often stops when plants make the transition to flowering.
G1452 (SEQ ID NO: 279)
Published Information
G1452 was identified in the sequence of clones T22O13, F12K2 with accession number AC006233 released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1452 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1452 produced changes in leaf development and markedly delayed the onset of flowering. 35S::G1452 plants produced dark green, flat, rounded leaves, and typically formed flower buds between 2 and 14 days later than controls. Additionally, some of the transformants were noted to have rather low trichome density on leaves and stems. At later stages of life cycle, 35S::G1452 appeared to develop slowly and senesced considerably later than wild-type controls. In addition, G1452 overexpressors were more tolerant to osmotic stress, and were insensitive to ABA in separate germination assays.
G1452 expression was not detected in any tissue tested by RT-PCR and was not induced by any environmental stress-related condition tested.
Potential Applications
On the basis of the analyses performed to date, G1452 or its equivalogs could be use to alter plant growth and development.
In addition, G1452 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought and salt stress.
G1463 (SEQ ID NO: 281)
Published Information
G1463 was identified in the sequence of BAC T13D8 with accession number AC004473 released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1463 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. In later stage plants, overexpression of G1463 resulted in premature senescence of rosette leaves. Under continuous light conditions, the most severely affected plants started to senesce approximately 10 days earlier than wild-type controls, at around 30 days after sowing. Additionally, 35S::G1463 plants formed slightly thin inflorescence stems and showed a relatively low seed yield. However, it is possible that such features directly resulted from the loss of photosynthetic capacity caused by premature senescence. 35S::G1463 transgenic plants were wild-type in phenotype with respect to the physiological and biochemical analyses performed.
G1463 expression could not be detected in any tissue or in response to environmental stress-related conditions tested using RT-PCR.
Potential Applications
On the basis of the analyses performed to date, the potential utilities of G1463 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate senescence in plant tissues. Although leaf senescence is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation to recycle nutrients, the ability to control senescence in an agricultural setting has significant value. For example, a delay in leaf senescence in some maize hybrids is associated with a significant increase in yields and a delay of a few days in the senescence of soybean plants can have a large impact on yield. Delayed flower senescence may also generate plants that retain their blossoms longer and this may be of potential interest to the ornamental horticulture industry.
G1471 (SEQ ID NO: 283)
Published Information
G1471 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone MDK4, GenBank accession number AB010695, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1471 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. All 35S::G1471 primary transformants were markedly small, had narrow curled leaves and formed thin inflorescence stems. Flowers from many T1 plants were extremely poorly developed, and often had organs missing, reduced in size, or highly contorted. Due to such defects, the fertility was very low, and approximately one third of the lines were tiny and completely sterile. Plants from one T2 generation line displayed wild-type morphology, indicating that the transgene might have become silenced. Two lines, however, were small, had narrow curled leaves and flowered marginally earlier than controls. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all other assays performed. G1471 appeared to be expressed at medium levels in siliques and embryos.
G1471 overexpressing plants were found to have increased seed oil content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1471 or equivalog overexpression may be used to increase seed oil content in plants.
Because expression of G1471 is embryo and silique specific, its promoter could be useful for targeted gene expression in these tissues.
G1478 (SEQ ID NO: 285)
Published Information
G1478 was identified as a gene in the sequence of BAC Z97338, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1478 shows some homology to non-Arabidopsis proteins within the conserved domain.
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G1478 (SEQ ID NO: 285) was determined and G1478 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1478 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G1478 had a general delay in progression through the life cycle, in particular a delay in flowering time. Plants overexpressing G1478 also showed a increase in seed oil and an decrease in seed protein.
G1478 was expressed at higher levels in flowers, rosettes and embryos but otherwise expression was constitutive.
Potential Applications
G1478 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the rate at which plants grow, and flowering time.
G1478 can also be used to manipulate seed oil and protein, which can be very important from a nutritional standpoint.
G1482 (SEQ ID NO: 287)
Published Information
G1482 was identified as a gene in the sequence of BAC AC006434, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G1482 was experimentally determined. The data presented for this gene are from plants homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G1482. The T-DNA insertion of G1482 is in coding sequence and therefore this knockout mutant is likely to contain a null allele. Homozygous plants harboring a T-DNA insertion in G1482 displayed significantly more root growth on MS control plates as well as on different stresses in three separate experiments. G1482 was constitutively expressed and significantly induced by auxin, ABA and osmotic stress.
The function of G1482 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G1482 contained high levels of anthocyanins.
Potential Applications
Based on the phenotypes produced when this gene is knocked out, G1482 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate root growth, particularly in response to environmental stresses such as drought and low nutrients.
G1482 or its equivalogs could also be used to alter anthocyanin production. The potential utilities of this gene includes alterations in pigment production for horticultural purposes, and possibly increasing stress resistance in combination with another transcription factor. Flavonoids have antimicrobial activity and could be used to engineer pathogen resistance. Several flavonoid compounds have health promoting effects such as the inhibition of tumor growth and cancer, prevention of bone loss and the prevention of the oxidation of lipids. Increasing levels of condensed tannins, whose biosynthetic pathway is shared with anthocyanin biosynthesis, in forage legumes is an important agronomic trait because they prevent pasture bloat by collapsing protein foams within the rumen. For a review on the utilities of flavonoids and their derivatives, see Dixon et al. (1999) Trends Plant Sci. 10: 394-400.
G1488 (SEQ ID NO: 289)
Published Information
G1488 was identified as a gene in the sequence of BAC F18A17 (Accession Number AC005405), released by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1488 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1488 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants from two of the three 35S::G1488 T2 populations were rather small at early stages, formed slightly rounded leaves, and produced thin bushy inflorescence stems that were shorter than those of controls. This phenotype was verified when the populations were re-grown. However, in the second sowing, plants from both lines also flowered early. Overexpression of G1488 in Arabidopsis also resulted in seedlings with an altered response to light. In a germination assay conducted in darkness, G1488 seedlings showed opened cotyledons in all three lines.
G1488 was expressed in all tissues, although it was expressed at higher levels in embryonic tissue and siliques. G1488 was slightly induced in response to ABA treatment or heat stress.
G1488 overexpressors were found to have increased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1488 modified light response and thus it or its equivalogs may be useful for modifying plant growth or development, for example, photomorphogenesis in poor light, or accelerating flowering time in response to various light intensities, quality or duration to which a non-transformed plant would not similarly respond. Elimination of shading responses may allow increased planting densities with subsequent yield enhancement.
G1488 or its equivalogs could also be used to manipulate plant architecture.
G1488 or its equivalogs might be used to engineer crops with earlier flowering times. Most modern crop varieties are the result of extensive breeding programs. Many generations of backcrossing may be required to introduce desired traits. Systems that accelerate flowering could have valuable applications in such programs since they allow much faster generation times. Additionally, in some instances, a faster generation time might allow additional harvests of a crop to be made within a given growing season.
G1488 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed protein content in plants
G1494 (SEQ ID NO: 291)
Published Information
The sequence of G1494 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AC006224, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1494 was determined. G1494 was expressed in all tissues tested except in roots.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1494 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1494 produced pleiotropic effects similar to those caused by shade avoidance responses or deficiencies in light regulated development. In particular, the 35S::G1494 phenotype was very similar to that described for plants mutant in multiple different phytochrome genes (Devlin et al. (1999) Plant Physiol. 119: 909-916), indicating that G1494 might have a role regulating or responding to light perception. Following germination, 35S::G1494 seedlings formed very long hypocotyls and displayed elongated cotyledon petioles. Rosette leaves were generally very pale, narrow, upward pointing, and had long petioles. Such effects were observed in either 12-hour or 24-hour photoperiodic conditions, and in both cases, the plants switched to flowering much earlier than wild-type controls. In 24-hour light, 35S::G1494 plants formed flower buds after making 2-4 leaves (wild type typically made 12-14 leaves), whereas in 12-hour conditions 4-7 leaves were formed (wild type typically made 25-30 leaves). In addition to this, in 35S::G1494 plants, internodes between rosette leaves extended, making a defined rosette difficult to discern. It should be noted that the inflorescences produced by these plants were uniformly extremely thin and spindly and generated very few siliques. Additionally, the seeds from one of these T2 populations were consistently large and pale compared to controls.
The morphological alterations in the 35S::G1494 plants were somewhat similar to those in the 35S::G2144 plants.
Alterations in leaf prenyl composition were consistently detected in the three 35S::G1494 lines analyzed, which could be predicted because of the morphological phenotype of 35S::G1494 overexpressors.
Potential Applications
G1494 or its equivalogs could be used to alter how plants respond to light. For example, it could be used to manipulate plant appearance, growth and development, and flowering time.
G1496 (SEQ ID NO: 293)
Published Information
The genomic sequence of G1496 has been determined as part of the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative (BAC clone T30D6, GenBank accession number AC006439).
Experimental Observations
As determined by RT-PCR, G1496 was highly expressed in rosette leaves and germinating seeds. Expression of G1496 was not induced by any stress-related treatment tested. The function of G1496 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1496 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Arabidopsis plants overexpressing G1496 produce more seed oil than wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
Based on the current analysis of G1496 or equivalog overexpressing plants, potential utilities for G1496 are to increase oil contents in crop plants.
G1499 (SEQ ID NO: 295)
Published Information
The sequence of G1499 was obtained from the Arabidopsis genome sequencing project, GenBank accession number AB020752, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The similarity between G1499 and Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis flower bud cDNA (acc#AT002234) is significant not only in the conserved bHLH domains but also outside of the domains.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1499 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1499 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. A range of phenotypes was observed in primary transformants of G1499. The most severely affected plants were smaller than controls, dark green, with strongly curled leaves, and produced bolts that terminated without an inflorescence. In some cases, flowers were replaced with filamentous structures or carpelloid structures. Less severely affected lines produced flowers where sepals were converted to carpelloid tissue. Petals and stamens were absent or reduced in size and number. Mildly affected T1 plants that were small in size but produced normal flowers were taken to the T2 generation. Three T2 lines produced plants that were smaller than controls, darker green, and had narrower leaves.
G1499 overexpressors were similar to their wild-type counterparts in all physiological and biochemical assays.
G1499 was predominantly expressed in the reproductive tissues such as flower, embryo and silique. Lower levels of expression were also detected in roots and germinating seeds. It's expression level was unaffected by any of the environmental conditions tested.
Phenotypes produced by overexpressing G1499 and G779 were similar in the aspects of flower structures. Cluster analysis using basic helix-loop-helix motif revealed that both proteins of G1499 and G779 are closely related.
Potential Applications
G1499 or its equivalogs could be used to modify plant architecture and development, including flower structure. If expressed under a flower-specific promoter, it might also be useful for engineering male sterility. Because expression of G1499 is flower and embryo specific, its promoter could be useful for targeted gene expression in these tissues.
Potential utilities of this gene or its equivalogs also include increasing chlorophyll content, allowing more growth and productivity in conditions of low light. With a potentially higher photosynthetic rate, fruits could have higher sugar content. Increased carotenoid content could be used as a nutraceutical to produce foods with greater antioxidant capability.
G1519 (SEQ ID NO: 297)
Published Information
G1519 corresponds to PEX10, which encodes a peroxisome assembly protein (Schumann et al. (1999) Plant Physiol. 119: 1147.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1519 has a homolog in tomatoes (Accession # BE436498).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1519 was analyzed by knockout analysis. Plants heterozygous for a knockout mutation in G1519 segregate 3 viable:1 inviable seeds in the silique. Homozygous G1519 knockout plants could not be obtained, due to the embryo lethality of the mutation, so no physiology or biochemistry assays could be done. G1519 is an essential gene that is necessary for embryo development.
Potential Applications
Because a knockout mutation in G1519 results in embryo lethality, the gene or its equivalogs are potentially useful as herbicide targets.
G1526 (SEQ ID NO: 299)
Published Information
The transcription regulator G1526 was identified by amino acid sequence similarity to proteins of the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodeling factors. G1526 is found in the sequence of the chromosome 5 P1 clone MDJ22 (GenBank AB006699.1 GI:2351064), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The translational stop codon was incorrectly predicted.
Experimental Observations
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous level of G1526 transcripts reveals that G1526 was expressed constitutively in all Arabidopsis tissues, except in germinating seeds where no G1526 is detectable. The G1526 null mutant had higher seed oil content.
Potential Applications
G1526 or its equivalogs may be used to increase seed oil in plant seed, which might be used to increase seed oil yield, and increase the caloric content of food for humans and animal feeds.
G1540 (SEQ ID NO: 301)
Published Information
G1540 is the Arabidopsis WUSCHEL (WUS) gene and encodes a novel subclass of homeodomain protein (Mayer et al. (1998) Cell 95:805-815).
WUS is a key developmental protein that has a core role in regulating the fate of stem cells within Arabidopsis apical meristems. The central zone of an apical meristem contains a pool of undifferentiated pluripotent stems cells. These stem cells are able to both maintain themselves and supply cells for incorporation into new organs on the periphery of the meristem (shoot meristems initiate leaves whereas flower meristems initiate whorls of floral organs).
Defects are visible in the shoots and flowers of wus mutants (Laux et al. (1996) Development 122: 87-96; Endrizzi et al. (1996) Plant J. 10:967-979). Wus mutants fail to properly organize a shoot meristem in the developing embryo. Postembryonically, wus shoot meristems become flattened and terminate growth prematurely. Leaf primordia and secondary shoots often initiate ectopically across the surface of these terminated structures. The leaf primordia usually develop into a disorganized bunch and a secondary shoot meristem takes over growth. This secondary meristem then terminates and the developmental pattern is repeated, leading to a plant with no clear main axis of growth and clusters of leaves at the tips of shoots. Wus floral meristems exhibit a comparable phenotype to the shoot meristem; development often ceases prematurely such that flowers either lack the innermost whorls of organs, or possess a single stamen in place of the inner whorls.
The mutant phenotype indicates that wus is required to maintain the identity of the central zone within apical meristems and prevent those cells from becoming differentiated. In situ expression patterns of WUS RNA support such a conclusion; WUS is first observed in the embryonic shoot meristem at the 16-cell stage. Later, expression becomes confined to small groups of cells (in shoot and floral meristems) at the base of the central zone where it specifies the fate of overlying cells as stem cells. WUS is thought to be expressed, and act, independently of another homeobox gene, SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM), G431, which has a related function (Long et al. (1996) Development 125:3027-3035). STM is initially required for the establishment of the shoot meristem during embryogenesis. Later STM is expressed throughout the whole meristem dome where, together with an antagonist, CLAVATA1, it regulates transition of cells from the central zone towards differentiation and organ formation at the meristem periphery (Clarke et al. (1996) Development 122: 1565-1575; Endrizzi et al. (1996) Plant J. 10:967-979). A current hypothesis is that WUS specifies the identity of central stem cells whereas STM allows the progeny of those cells to proliferate before being partitioned into organ primordia (Mayer et al. (1998) Cell 95:805-815).
The effects of WUS over-expression have not yet been published. However, based on the present model for WUS function, its ectopic expression might be expected to induce formation of ectopic meristematic stem cells.
Experimental Observations
Over-expressers for G1540 (WUSCHEL) formed callus-like structures on leaves, stems and floral organs. These observations correlate with the proposed role of WUS in specifying stem cell fate in meristems. In T1 over-expressers, cells took on characteristics of stem cells at inappropriate locations, indicating that WUS was sufficient to specify stem cell identity.
Potential Applications
The over-expression phenotype indicates that G1540 is sufficient to confer stem cell identity on plant cells, and thereby prevent them from differentiating. The gene or its equivalogs might be of utility in the maintenance of plant cell lines grown in vitro, where the differentiation of those lines creates difficulties. The gene or its equivalogs might also be applied to transformation systems for recalcitrant species, where generation of callus is currently problematic but is required as part of the transformation procedure.
G1543 (SEQ ID NO: 303)
Published Information
G1543 was identified as a novel homeobox gene within section 3 of 255 from the complete sequence of Chromosome II (GenBank accession number AC005560, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The G1543 protein is related to a number of HD-ZIP proteins from other species, including OSHOX3 (AAD37696) from rice, with which sequence identity extends beyond the conserved homeodomain.
Experimental Observations
The ends of G1543 were determined by RACE and a full-length cDNA was isolated by PCR from mixed cDNA. The encoded 275 amino acid product was found to be a member the HD-ZIP class II group of HD proteins. The public annotation for this gene was incorrect; the protein predicted in the BAC report was only 162 amino acids in length.
RT-PCR analysis revealed that G1543 was expressed ubiquitously but was up-regulated in response to auxin applications.
The function of G1543 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G1543 Arabidopsis plants exhibited a range of phenotypes; most consistently, however, the plants possessed dark green leaves and an altered branching pattern that led to a shorter more compact stature. These morphological phenotypes, along with the expression data, implicate G1543 as a component of a growth or developmental response to auxin.
Biochemical assays reflected the changes in leaf color noted during morphological analysis. All three T2 lines examined displayed increased levels of leaf chlorophylls and carotenoids. Additionally, one of three lines had a decrease in seed oil combined with an increase in seed protein. A repeat experiment verified the altered seed oil and protein composition in two lines.
Physiological assays identified no clear differences between 35S::G1543 and wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
The altered levels of chlorophylls, carotenoids, seed oils, and proteins that resulted from overexpression of the gene in Arabidopsis indicate that G1543 or its equivalogs or its equivalogs might used to manipulate the composition of these substances in seed, with applications toward the improvement in the nutritional value of foodstuffs (for example, by increasing lutein).
Enhanced chlorophyll and carotenoid levels could also improve yield in crop plants. For instance lutein, like other xanthophylls such as zeaxanthin and violaxanthin, is an essential component in the protection of the plant against the damaging effects of excessive light. Specifically, lutein contributes, directly or indirectly, to the rapid rise of non-photochemical quenching in plants exposed to high light. Crop plants engineered to contain higher levels of lutein could therefore have improved photo-protection, possibly leading to less oxidative damage and better growth under high light. Additionally, elevated chlorophyll levels might increase photosynthetic capacity.
G1543 or its equivalogs might be applied to modify plant stature. This could be used to produce crops that are more resistant to damage by wind and rain, or more amenable to harvest. Plants with altered stature might also be of interest to the ornamental plant market.
This gene or its equivalogs may also be used to alter oil production in seeds, which may be very important for the nutritional quality and caloric content of foods

Published Information
G1634 was identified in the sequence of BAC MJJ3, GenBank accession number AB005237, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1634 was determined. cDNA microarray analyses of the endogenous levels of G1634 indicated that this gene was primarily expressed in root and silique tissues. In addition, G1634 expression was not altered significantly in response to any of the stress-related treatments tested. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1634 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all assays performed.
G1634 overexpressors were found to have altered seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1634 or its equivalogs could be used to alter seed protein amounts which is very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G1637 (SEQ ID NO: 307)

The most related gene to G1637 is a soybean gene represented by EST AW760127.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1637 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1637 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all assays performed.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G1637 indicated that this gene was expressed in all tissues and was induced by ABA, drought, and disease-related treatments.
G1637 overexpressors had increased seed oil and decreased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1637 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed protein content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1640 (SEQ ID NO: 309)
Published Information
G1640 was identified in the sequence of BAC K21P3, GenBank accession number AB016872, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The annotation of G1640 in BAC AB016872 was experimentally confirmed. The function of this gene was then analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1640 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The transgenic plants were morphologically indistinguishable from wild-type plants. They were wild-type in all physiological assays performed. Biochemical analysis indicated that overexpression of G1640 in Arabidopsis results in an increase in seed oil content and a decrease in seed protein content.
As determined by RT-PCR, G1640 was expressed in leaves, flowers, embryos and siliques. No expression of G1640 was detected in the other tissues tested, nor was the gene induced in rosette leaves by any stress-related treatment.
Potential Applications
G1640 or its equivalogs could be used to decrease seed protein and increase seed oil amounts and/or composition which is very important for the nutritional value, caloric content and production of various food products.
G1645 (SEQ ID NO: 311)
Published Information
G1645 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of MYB transcription factors. G1645 was identified in the sequence of BAC T24P13, GenBank accession number AC006535, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1645 shows extensive sequence similarity to MYB proteins from other plant species including tomato (AW624217), and alfalfa (AQ917084).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1645 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1645 produced marked changes in Arabidopsis leaf, flower and shoot development. These effects were observed, to varying extents, in the majority of 35S::G1645 primary transformants.
At early stages, many 35S::G1645 T1 lines appeared slightly small and most had rather rounded leaves. However, later, as the leaves expanded, in many cases they became misshapen and highly contorted. Furthermore, some of the lines grew slowly and bolted markedly later than control plants. Following the switch to flowering, 35S::G1645 inflorescences often showed aberrant growth patterns, and had a reduction in apical dominance. Additionally, the flowers were frequently abnormal and had organs missing, reduced in size, or contorted. Pollen production also appeared poor in some instances. Due to these deficiencies, the fertility of many of the 35S::G1645 lines was low and only small numbers of seeds were produced.
Overexpression of G1645 resulted in a low germination efficiency when germinated on the 32 C heat stress.
As determined by RT-PCR, G1645 was expressed in flowers, embryos, germinating seeds and siliques. No expression of G1645 was detected in the other tissues tested. G1645 expression appeared to be repressed in rosette leaves infected with the phytopathogen Erysiphe orontii. 
Potential Applications
G1645 or its equivalogs could be used to alter inflorescence structure, which may have value in production of novel ornamental plants.
G1645 or equivalog activity could be used to alter a plant's response to heat stress.

Experimental Observations

The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1652 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G1652 transformants were distinctly smaller and slower developing than wild-type controls, and formed rounded dark-green leaves, and short, thin, inflorescence stems. This phenotype was apparent in the majority of primary transformants and two of the three T2 lines. Small size was also noted in the physiological assays.
G1652 overexpressors had increased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1652 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed protein content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1652 or its equivalogs may also be useful to regulate some aspect of plant growth and development.

Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The most related gene to G1672 is a rice gene P0710E05.22 in accession BAA99435.
Experimental Observations
The full length sequence of G1672 was experimentally confirmed. The function of G1672 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1672 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
RT-PCR analysis was used to determine the endogenous levels of G1672 in a variety of tissues and under a variety of environmental stress-related conditions. G1672 was primarily expressed at low levels in shoots, roots, flowers, embryos and siliques. No expression was detected in rosette leaves and germinated seedlings. G1672 did not show any induction under any of the different environmental conditions tested.
As measured by NIR, G1672 overexpressors had altered seed oil content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1672 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed oil content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1677 (SEQ ID NO: 319)
Published Information
G1677 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone:MKM21, GenBank accession number AB016876, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1677 shows extensive sequence similarity to a protein from rice (AP004114).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1677 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of the 35S::G1677 transgenics was wild-type in morphology.
RT-PCR analysis of the endogenous levels of G1677 indicated that this gene was expressed in most tissues tested, although at very low levels. This gene was not induced in leaf tissue in response to any stress-related condition tested.
G1677 overexpressing plants were found to have decreased seed oil and increased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1677 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter oil and seed protein content in plants.
G1749 (SEQ ID NO: 321)
Published Information
G1749 corresponds to gene At2g20350 (AAD21753).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1749 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Overexpression of G1749 induced chlorosis and death of large patches of tissue in the aerial part of the plant, indicating that it might be influencing programmed cell death, perhaps in pathways that are usually part of senescence or of the disease response. At early stages of development, 35S::G1749 seedlings appeared normal. However, towards the end of the rosette phase, these plants showed disorganized phyllotaxy and displayed rather broad flat leaves with short petioles. Randomly distributed yellow specks and patches of chlorotic tissue became visible at around this time; later these patches frequently developed into sizeable senesced regions covering large portions of the leaves. Additionally, similar effects were noted in the inflorescence, affecting cauline leaves, flower buds, and siliques. In severely affected plants, the entire inflorescence tips became brown and withered away without producing seeds. These effects were displayed by almost all of the T1 plants, and were visible in two independent batches of transformants, grown several months apart in separate locations.
Lines with the strongest phenotypes were completely infertile and senesced without setting seed. Three lines with a milder phenotype, which had produced some seed, were therefore selected for further analysis. All three T2 populations displayed the phenotypes to some extent, but these were weaker than were those shown by the majority of T1 plants.
G1749 was specifically expressed in flower and silique tissues, and was not ectopically induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G1749 or its equivalogs could be used to trigger cell death, and therefore to influence or control processes in which cell death plays a role. For example, if G1749 is an effective and rapid switch for cell death programs, it could be used to block pathogen infection by triggering it in infected cells and block spread of the disease.
G1749 or its equivalogs could also be used to either accelerate or slow senescence of different plant organs. Although leaf senescence is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation to recycle nutrients, the ability to control senescence in an agricultural setting has significant value. For example, a delay in leaf senescence in some maize hybrids is associated with a significant increase in yields and a delay of a few days in the senescence of soybean plants can have a large impact on yield. Delayed flower senescence may also generate plants that retain their blossoms longer and this may be of potential interest to the ornamental horticulture industry.
G1750 (SEQ ID NO: 323)
Published Information
G1750 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone T13J8; it corresponds to gene At4g27950.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1750 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1750 resulted in a significant increase in oil content in seeds, as measured by NIR. The increase in seed oil content was observed in two independent T2 lines, and was not accompanied by a substantial decrease in seed protein content. Otherwise, G1750 overexpressors behaved similarly to wild-type controls in all biochemical assays performed. No alterations were detected in the T2 35S::G1750 plants in the physiological analyses that were performed.
However, overexpression of G1750 caused alterations in plant growth and development. 35S::G1750 T1 plants showed a reduction in size, and approximately 50% were extremely tiny, infertile, and sometimes had premature leaf senescence. Seed was obtained from only the T1 plants with a weaker phenotype. Given the detrimental effects of G1750 overexpression, transgenics in which the gene is regulated by a tissue specific promoter, in particular a seed specific one, could be particularly useful to study the gene's functions and utilities.
G1750 was ubiquitously expressed. G1750 expression levels may have been altered by a variety of environmental or physiological conditions including SA.
Potential Applications
G1750 or its equivalogs could be used to increase seed oil content in crop plants.
G1756 (SEQ ID NO: 325)
Published Information
G1756 corresponds to gene AT4g23550 (CAB79310).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1756 shows sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved WRKY domain.
Experimental Observations
G1756 (SEQ ID NO:325) was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1756 caused alterations in plant growth and development, reducing overall plant size and fertility. In addition, 35S::G1756 overexpressing lines showed more disease symptoms following inoculation with a low dose of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea compared to the wild-type controls. G1756 was ubiquitously expressed and transcript levels were altered by a variety of environmental or physiological conditions; G1756 expression can be induced by auxin, cold, and Fusarium. 
Potential Applications
As G1756 is likely to be involved in the disease response, it or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate this response.
G1765 (SEQ ID NO: 327)
Published Information
G1765 was first identified in the sequence of the BAC clone F23E6, GenBank accession numberAC006580, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A cDNA clone NF085A08EC from elicited cell culture of Medicago truncatula is closely related to G1765.
Experimental Observations
The full length sequence of G1765 was experimentally confirmed. The function of G1765 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1765 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all assays performed with the exception of biochemical assays. Alterations in the leaf cell wall polysaccharide composition were observed in plants that overexpress G1765. In one line, an increase in the percentage of rhamnose was detected. In another line, an increase in the percentage of mannose was detected. Otherwise, G1765 overexpressors behave similarly to wild-type controls in all biochemical assays performed.
RT-PCR analysis was used to determine the endogenous levels of G1765 in a variety of tissues and under a variety of environmental stress-related conditions. G1765 was primarily expressed at low levels in roots, flowers and rosette leaves. No expression was detected in shoots, embryos, siliques and germinated seedlings. RT-PCR data also indicated a moderate induction of G1765 transcripts accumulation upon auxin and Fusarium treatments.
As measured by NIR, G1765 overexpressors had altered seed oil content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1765 or its equivalogs overexpression may be used to alter seed oil content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1777 (SEQ ID NO: 329)
Published Information
G1777 was identified as a gene in the sequence of Arabidopsis chromosome II, section 93 using clone F7H1 (Accession Number AC007134), released by The Institute for Genomic Research.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1777 shows some homology to non-Arabidopsis proteins within the conserved RING finger domain.
Experimental Observations
G1777 (SEQ ID NO: 329) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1777 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1777 in Arabidopsis resulted in an increase in seed oil content and a decrease in seed protein content in two T2 lines. G1777 was expressed in all examined tissue of Arabidopsis. G1777 was induced by auxin and ABA treatment, and by heat stress.
Potential Applications
G1777 or its equivalogs have utility in manipulating seed oil and protein content.
G1792 (SEQ ID NO: 331)
Published Information
G1792 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone K14B15 (AB025608, gene K14B15.14).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1792 shows sequence similarity, outside the conserved AP2 domain, with a portion of a predicted protein from tomato, represented by EST sequence AI776626 (AI776626 EST257726 tomato resistant, Cornell Lycopersicon esculentum cDNA clone cLER19A14, mRNA sequence).
Experimental Observations
G1792 (SEQ ID NO: 331) was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G1792 plants were more tolerant to the fungal pathogens Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea and showed fewer symptoms after inoculation with a low dose of each pathogen. This result was confirmed using individual T2 lines. The effect of G1792 overexpression in increasing tolerance to pathogens received further, incidental confirmation. T2 plants of two 35S::G1792 lines had been growing in a room that suffered a serious powdery mildew infection. For each line, a pot of six plants was present in a flat containing nine other pots of lines from unrelated genes. In either of the two different flats, the only plants that were free from infection were those from the 35S::G1792 line. This observation suggested that G1792 overexpression might be used to increase resistance to powdery mildew. Additional experiments confirmed that 35S::G1792 plants showed increased tolerance to Erysiphe. G1792 was ubiquitously expressed, but appeared to be induced by salicylic acid.
35S::G1792 overexpressing plants also showed more tolerance to growth under nitrogen-limiting conditions. In a root growth assay under conditions of limiting N, 35S::G1792 lines were slightly less stunted. In a germination assay that monitored the effect of C on N signaling through anthocyanin production on high sucrose plus and minus glutamine the 35S::G1792 lines made less anthocyanin on high sucrose plus glutamine, suggesting that the gene can be involved in the plants ability to monitor their carbon and nitrogen status.
G1792 overexpressing plants showed several mild morphological alterations: leaves were dark green and shiny, and plants bolted, subsequently senesced, slightly later than wild-type controls. Among the T1 plants, additional morphological variation (not reproduced later in the T2 plants) was observed: many showed reductions in size as well as aberrations in leaf shape, phyllotaxy, and flower development.
Potential Applications
G1792 or its equivalogs can be used to engineer pathogen-resistant plants. In addition, it can also be used to improve seedling germination and performance under conditions of limited nitrogen.
Potential utilities of this gene or its equivalogs also include increasing chlorophyll content allowing more growth and productivity in conditions of low light. With a potentially higher photosynthetic rate, fruits could have higher sugar content. Increased carotenoid content could be used as a nutraceutical to produce foods with greater antioxidant capability.
G1792 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate wax composition, amount, or distribution, which in turn could modify plant tolerance to drought and/or low humidity or resistance to insects, as well as plant appearance (shiny leaves). In particular, it would be interesting to see what the effect of increased wax deposition on leaves of a plant like cotton would do to drought resistance or water use efficiency. A possible application for this gene might be in reducing the wax coating on sunflower seeds (the wax fouls the oil extraction system during sunflower seed processing for oil). For this purpose, antisense or co-suppression of the gene in a tissue specific manner might be useful
G1793 (SEQ ID NO: 333)
Published Information
G1793 corresponds to gene MOE17.15 (BAB02492).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1793 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1793 produced alterations in cotyledon morphology and a mild reduction in overall plant size. Eight 35S::G1793 primary transformants were obtained. Initially, these plants displayed abnormal long, elongated cotyledons. At later stages, the plants were all rather small, and in some cases slow growing, compared to controls. Inflorescences were often thin and, in 2/8 lines, carried flowers with many non-specific abnormalities, including changes in organ size and number, and poor pollen production. All T1 plants showed moderate levels of transgene expression (determined by RT-PCR).
G1793 overexpressors produced more seed oil than control plants.
G1793 expression was detected in a variety of tissues (root, flower, embryo, silique, and germinating seedling), and, except for heat stress, did not appear to be significantly induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G1793 or its equivalogs may be used to increase seed oil in plant seeds, which might be used to increase seed oil yield, and increase the caloric content of food for humans and animal feeds.
G1794 (SEQ ID NO: 335)
Published Information
G1794 corresponds to gene MVP7.8 (BAB10308.1).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1794 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Overexpression of G1794 caused multiple alterations in plant growth and development, as well as in the plant's behavior in some of the physiological analyses that were performed.
35S::G1794 plants showed modified branching patterns, and a reduction in apical dominance, which resulted in them having a shorter, more bushy stature than wild type. Additionally, G1794 overexpression produced changes in hypocotyl development. The loss of apical dominance was noticeable at the switch to flowering, when large numbers of secondary shoots developed prematurely from axils of primary rosette leaves. In the most extreme cases, the shoots had very short internodes, giving the inflorescence a very bushy appearance. These shoots were often very thin and flowers were relatively small and poorly fertile. At later stages, many plants appeared very small and had a low seed yield compared to wild type. Similar effects on inflorescence development were noted in each of three T2 populations examined. Additionally, the T2 seedlings were noted to have long thick hypocotyls and a decrease in root length compared to controls.
Overexpression of G1794 in Arabidopsis resulted in an increase in leaf glucosinolate M39480 in three T2 lines.
In the physiological analyses, it was noted that 35S::G1794 T2 seedlings exhibited an altered hypocotyl structure, an altered light response phenotype, and an enhanced sensitivity to osmotic stress and nitrogen depletion. All G1794 overexpressing transgenic lines showed thick, bulbous hypocotyls in the seedling stage as well as partially de-etiolated phenotype, the seedling displaying open and slightly expanded cotyledons when grown in the dark. The enhanced sensitivity to osmotic stress was observed in all three G1794 transgenic lines following a root growth assay performed on high PEG containing media. Similarly, all three G1794 transgenic lines appear more sensitive to growth on nitrogen depleted media. However, in all cases the G1794 transgenic seedlings grew less vigorously than the wild-type controls and that could contribute to their enhanced sensitivity to stress in the root growth assays.
The branching and plant architecture phenotypes observed in 35S::G1794 lines resembled phenotypes observed for three other AP2/EREBP genes: G865, G1411, and G2509. These three genes form a small clade within the large AP2/EREBP family, and G1794, although not belonging to the clade, is one of the AP2/EREBP genes closest to it in the phylogenetic tree. It is thus possible that all these genes are related in function.
G1794 was ubiquitously expressed, and was induced by several stress conditions, in particular by osmotic stress.
Potential Applications
G1794 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate plant architecture and development.
G1794 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
Overexpression of G1794 or its equivalogs may also induce changes in glucosinolate content.
G1794 modified light response and thus it or its equivalogs may be useful for modifying plant growth or development, for example, photomorphogenesis in poor light, or accelerating flowering time in response to various light intensities, quality or duration to which a non-transformed plant would not similarly respond. Elimination of shading responses may allow increased planting densities with subsequent yield enhancement.
G1804 (SEQ ID NO: 337)
Published Information
G1804 was identified in the sequence of BAC F9C22, GenBank accession number AC006921, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. During the course of its functional analysis, the G1804 sequence was published as the Arabidopsis ABI5 gene, which, when knocked out, causes pleiotropic effects on responses to the hormone abscisic acid (Finkelstein et al. (1990) Plant Cell 12: 599-609). In addition, G1804 was deposited in the NCBI database as DPBF1. DPBF1 is an Arabidopsis embryo bZIP transcription factor that interacts with the late embryogenesis Dc3 gene promoter of sunflower (Kim et al: (1991) Unpublished deposit in the NCBI database).
ABI5 can be induced by ABA, drought and high salt stress in embryos (Lopez-Molina, et al (2001) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98: 4782-4787). Its overexpression causes ABA hypersensitivity and delayed germination (Lopez-Molina, et al (2001) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98: 4782-4787), and it is postulated but not shown that ABI5 could be used to engineer drought hardiness into seeds or plants.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1804 is likely to be a homolog of the sunflower Dc3 promoter-binding factor-1 (DPBF-1; accession number AF001453) which also interacts with the Dc3 gene promoter of sunflower (Kim et al, 1991).
Experimental Observations
The boundaries of G1804 were experimentally determined and the function of G1804 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Plants overexpressing G1804 were later flowering and more sensitive to glucose in a germination assay. G1804 appeared to be preferentially expressed in embryos and flowers, and induced by auxin treatment. The expression pattern and annotation of G1804 correlated well with the information regarding DPB1 in the NCBI database and published information on ABI5.
Potential Applications
G1804 or its equivalogs may be used to modify sugar sensing and source-sink relationships in plants.
Manipulating the sugar signal transduction pathway may lead to altered gene expression to produce plants with desirable traits. In particular, manipulation of sugar signal transduction pathways could be used to alter source-sink relationships in seeds, tubers, roots and other storage organs leading to increase in yield.
G1804 or its equivalogs may also have a utility in modifying flowering time, and the promoter of G1804 may have some utility as an embryo specific promoter.
G1818 (SEQ ID NO: 339)
Published Information
G1818 is a member of the Hap5-like subfamily of CCAAT-box binding transcription factors. G1818 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone:MBA10, GenBank accession number AB025619, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1818 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1818 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all physiological assays performed. However, overexpression of G1818 delayed the timing of flowering and produced alterations in leaf shape. The leaves appeared to be flatter than wild-type leaves at all stages of development. In addition, G1818 overexpression resulted in higher seed protein content in two out of the three lines.
G1818 expression was detected in embryo, flower and silique tissue by RT-PCR. Expression of G1818 was also detected in leaf tissue following cold and auxin treatments. However, no cold related phenotypes were observed.
Potential Applications
G1818 or its equivalogs may be used to manipulate flowering time.
Additionally, a major concern is the escape of transgenic pollen from GMOs to wild species or so-called organic crops. Genes such as G1818 or its equivalogs that prevent vegetative transgenic crops from flowering would eliminate this worry.
G1818 or its equivalogs could also be used to increase seed protein amounts and/or alter seed protein composition, which could impact yield as well as the nutritional value and production of various food products. An increase in storage proteins is desirable for example in corn seeds to increase the nutritional value of the meal. Seed proteins play a central role in human and animal diets and represent a multibillion dollar market worldwide.
G1820 (SEQ ID NO: 341)
Published Information
G1820 is a member of the Hap5 subfamily of CCAAT-box-binding transcription factors. G1820 was identified as part of the BAC clone MBA10, accession number AB025619 released by the Arabidopsis Genome sequencing project.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1820 is closely related to a soybean gene represented by EST335784 isolated from leaves infected with Colletotrichum trifolii. Similarity between G1820 and the soybean gene extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous. Therefore the gene represented by EST335784 may have a function and/or utility similar to that of G1820.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1820 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1820 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G1820 overexpressing lines showed more tolerance to salt stress in a germination assay. They also showed insensitivity to ABA, with the three lines analyzed showing the phenotype. The salt and ABA phenotypes could be related to the plants increased tolerance to osmotic stress because in a severe water deprivation assay, G1820 overexpressors are, again, more tolerant.
Interestingly, overexpression of G1820 also consistently reduced the time to flowering. Under continuous light conditions at 20-25 C, the 35S::G1820 transformants displayed visible flower buds several days earlier than control plants. The primary shoots of these plants typically started flower initiation 1-4 leaf plastochrons sooner than those of wild type. Such effects were observed in all three T2 populations and in a substantial number of primary transformants.
When biochemical assays were performed, some changes in leaf fames were detected. In one line, an increase in the percentage of 18:3 and a decrease in 16:1 were observed. Otherwise, G1820 overexpressors behaved similarly to wild-type controls in all biochemical assays performed. As determined by RT-PCR, G1820 was highly expressed in embryos and siliques. No expression of G1820 was detected in the other tissues tested. G1820 expression appeared to be induced in rosette leaves by cold and drought stress treatments, and overexpressing lines showed tolerance to water deficit and high salt conditions.
One possible explanation for the complexity of the G1820 overexpression phenotype is that the gene is somehow involved in the cross talk between ABA and GA signal transduction pathways. It is well known that seed dormancy and germination are regulated by the plant hormones abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA). These two hormones act antagonistically with each other. ABA induces seed dormancy in maturing embryos and inhibits germination of seeds. GA breaks seed dormancy and promotes germination. It is conceivable that the flowering time and ABA insensitive phenotypes observed in the G1820 overexpressors are related to an enhanced sensitivity to GA, or an increase in the level of GA, and that the phenotype of the overexpressors is unrelated to ABA. In Arabidopsis, GA is thought to be required to promote flowering in non-inductive photoperiods. However, the drought and salt tolerant phenotypes would indicate that ABA signal transduction is also perturbed in these plants. It seems counterintuitive for a plant with salt and drought tolerance to be ABA insensitive since ABA seems to activate signal transduction pathways involved in tolerance to salt and dehydration stresses. One explanation is that ABA levels in the G1820 overexpressors are also high but that the plant is unable to perceive or transduce the signal.
G1820 overexpressors also had decreased seed oil content and increased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants
Potential Applications
G1820 affects ABA sensitivity, and thus when transformed into a plant this transcription factor or its equivalogs may diminish cold, drought, oxidative and other stress sensitivities, and also be used to alter plant architecture, and yield.
The osmotic stress results indicate that G1820 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and can be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing. Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration of in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant would impact survivability and yield.
G1820 or its equivalogs could also be used to accelerate flowering time.
G1820 or its equivalogs may be used to modify levels of saturation in oils.
G1820 or its equivalogs may be used to seed protein content.
The promoter of G1820 could be used to drive seed-specific gene expression.
Potential Applications
G1820 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed protein content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1836 (SEQ ID NO: 343)
Published Information
G1836 was identified in the sequence of BAC F14123, GenBank accession number AC007399, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G1836 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1836 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Morphologically, the plants were somewhat more pale than the wild-type controls. This observation did not translate into a detectable difference in the chlorophyll a or chlorophyll b content in these transgenics (see biochemistry data). Overexpression of G1836 affected the plants' ability to tolerate high concentrations of salt in a germination assay. All of the lines showed greater expansion of the cotyledons when seeds are germinated on MS media containing high concentrations of NaCl, indicating they had more tolerance to salt stress compared to the wild-type controls. There was no enhanced tolerance to high salt in older seedlings in a root growth assay. This was not unexpected because salt tolerance in the two developmental stages in often uncoupled in nature indicating mechanistic differences.
G1836 overexpression also resulted in plants that were more drought tolerant than wild-type control plants.
Expression of G1836 was also repressed by Erysiphe orontii infection.
Potential Applications
G1836 or its equivalogs could be used to increase plant tolerance to drought tolerance and soil salinity during germination, or at the seedling stage.
G1838 (SEQ ID NO: 345)
Published Information
G1838 corresponds to gene K21L13.1 (BAA98170).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1838 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1838 caused alterations in plant growth and development: 35S::G1838 plants were smaller than wild type, often possessed curled, darker green leaves, and showed reduced fertility. 35S::G1838 primary transformants frequently displayed seedling abnormalities such as elongated cotyledons. Later, many of the lines were small, grew slowly and formed highly abnormal leaves. These structures were often narrow, darker green, contorted, or had strange horn like growths on their surfaces. Inflorescences were typically short, poorly developed, and carried infertile flowers that had small, contorted, or missing organs. Due to these deficiencies, the many of T1 plants formed very few seeds. Three lines that showed a relatively weak phenotype were selected for further study. Plants overexpressing G1838 were found to produce more seed oil than wild-type plants.
G1838 was ubiquitously expressed, and did not appear to be significantly induced by any of the conditions tested.
G1838 belongs to the AP2 subfamily of the AP2/EREBP family. It was hypothesized that genes of this subfamily would be involved in plant developmental processes (Riechmann et al. (1998) Biol Chem. 379:633-646) which could thus explain the pleiotropic nature of the phenotypes observed in 35S::G1838 plants.
Potential Applications
G1838 or its equivalogs may be used for increasing seed oil production in plants, which would be of nutritional value for food for human consumption as well as animal feeds.
G1841 (SEQ ID NO: 347)
Published Information
G1841 corresponds to gene MPF21.9 (BAB10294). No information is available about the function(s) of G1841.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1841 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Most significantly, overexpression of G1841 markedly reduced the time to flowering. This early flowering phenotype was consistently observed over multiple plantings for each of the three T2 lines, and in a majority of primary transformants. 35S::G1841 plants appeared slightly pale and had rather flat leaves compared to wild-type controls, but no other obvious morphological alterations. In continuous light conditions, 35S::G1841 plants produced flower buds up to five days earlier than wild-type controls. Interestingly, in repeat sowings, the plants actually appeared to grow slightly faster than controls: although they switched to making flower buds several days early, they had a similar number of primary rosette leaves to wild type.
In addition to showing accelerated flowering under 24 hours light, plants from all three T2 populations produced flowers up to 2 weeks earlier than controls under a 12 hour photoperiod. 35S::G1841 seed also showed a slight tolerance to heat in a germination assay compared to wild-type controls.
G1841 appeared to be specifically expressed in floral tissues (including embryo and silique), and to be ectopically induced by heat stress. That G1841 was specifically expressed in floral tissues but yet can consistently influence the floral transition when overexpressed, might appear paradoxical, but this is a phenomenon that has already been observed for other transcription factor genes, for example the Arabidopsis homeobox gene FWA (Soppe et al. (2000) Mol. Cell. 6: 791-802). That G1841 expression was induced by heat lends support to the result that G1841 overexpression can improve germination under heat stress.
Potential Applications
G1841 or its equivalogs could be used to modify flowering time (accelerating the switch to flowering by overexpression), as well as to improve seed germination under heat stress. The promoter of G1841 could be used to direct heat inducible gene expression in transgenic plants. In general, a wide variety of applications exist for systems that either lengthen or shorten the time to flowering.
G1842 (SEQ ID NO: 349)
Published Information
G1842 corresponds to F15O5.2 (BAA97510). The high level of sequence similarity between G1842 and FLOWERING LOCUS C (Michaels and Amasino, 1999; Sheldon et al., 1999) has been previously described (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132).
Experimental Observations
G1842 was recognized as a gene highly related to Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC; Michaels et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11, 949-956; Sheldon et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11, 445-458), and to MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING 1 (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132). FLC acts as a repressor of flowering (Michaels et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11, 949-956; Sheldon et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11, 445-458). Similarly, G157/MAF1 can cause a delay in flowering time when overexpressed (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132.
The function of G1842 was studied using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1842 reduced the time to flowering in the Columbia background. No consistent alterations were detected in 35S::G1842 plants in the physiological and biochemical analyses that were performed.
Early flowering was observed in 13/21 35S::G1842 primary transformants: under continuous light conditions, these plants produced flower buds approximately 1 week earlier than controls. A comparable phenotype was also noted in the T2 populations from each of the three lines examined. In a separate experiment, the 35S::G1842 transgene was transformed into Stockholm (a late flowering, vernalization-sensitive ecotype). A comparable result was observed to that seen for Columbia: approximately 50% of 35S::G1842 Stockholm plants flowered earlier than wild-type controls.
Although G1842 is highly related in sequence to G157, G859, and FLC, its overexpression reduced the time to flowering, whereas overexpression of G157, G859, and FLC often caused a delay in flowering. In other words, whereas the function of G157, G859, and FLC appeared to repress flowering, G1842 was an activator of that process.
Potential Applications
G1842 or its equivalogs could be used to alter flowering time.
G1843 (SEQ ID NO: 351)
Published Information
G1843 corresponds to F1505.3 (BAA97511). There is no literature published on G1843, except our own (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132). G1843 belongs to a group of five Arabidopsis MADS-box genes that are highly related to FLC (G1759), a repressor of the floral transition, and that we have called MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING 1-5 (Ratcliffe et al. (2001) Plant Physiol. 126:122-132). The published report describes functional data for only MAF1 (G157), but the sequence similarity among all the members of the group is noted.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1843 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1843 caused alterations in plant growth and development, in particular a severe reduction in overall plant size, premature senescence, and early flowering. That G1843 caused an effect in flowering time was expected because of its sequence similarity to G1759 (FLC), G157 (MAF1), and G859, G1842, and G1844. However, in contrast to all these other genes, which when overexpressed can alter flowering time (either delay or accelerate, depending on the gene) without severe side effects on the plant, overexpression of G1843 was severely detrimental.
Primary transformants for 35S::G1843 were consistently small, showed stunted growth, and formed poorly developed inflorescences that yielded relatively few seeds. The most severely affected of these plants were very small, and died at early stages of development. Approximately 50% of the 35S::G1843 transformants were also markedly early flowering and displayed visible flower buds 1-7 days earlier than any of the wild-type controls. Most notably, the leaves of 35S::G1843 transformants frequently senesced prematurely. A total of six T2 lines were morphologically examined; all exhibited (to varying extents) comparable phenotypes to those observed in the T1 generation, showing premature senescence and stunted growth. Due to these deleterious effects, however, an accurate determination of flowering time was difficult to make in the T2 generation.
The deleterious effects caused by G1843 overexpression were also noted in the physiological analyses that were performed: in general, the G1843 overexpressing lines showed reduced seedling vigor and were pale compared to wild-type controls. 35S::G1843 plants behaved otherwise like wild-type controls in the physiological assays.
No alterations were detected in 35S::G1843 plants in the biochemical analyses that were performed.
G1843 was ubiquitously expressed and did not appear to be significantly induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G1843 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate flowering time.
G1852 (SEQ ID NO: 353)
Published Information
G1852 was identified by amino acid sequence similarity to plant and mammalian ankyrin-repeat proteins. It is found in the sequence of the chromosome 4 BAC F15P23 (GenBank accession number AF128392.1 GI:4325336), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The translational start and stop codons were correctly predicted. G1852 has no distinctive features other than the presence of a 33-aa repeated ankyrin element known for protein-protein interaction, in the C-terminus of the predicted protein.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A comparison of the amino acid sequence of G1852 with entries available from GenBank shows strong similarity with plant ankyrins of several species (Malus domestica, Solanum tuberosum, Oryza sativa, Gossypium arboreum, Medicago truncatula, Glycine max, Lycopersicon esculentum, Pinus taeda, Lotus japonicus and Gossypium hirsutum).
Experimental Observations
G1852 (SEQ ID NO:353) was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. Analysis of the endogenous level of G1852 transcripts by RT-PCR revealed expression in all tissues tested. G1852 expression was induced in response to ABA, heat and drought treatment. 35S::G1852 overexpressor plants were more tolerant to osmotic stress in a root growth assay on PEG (polyethylene glycol)-containing media compared with wild-type controls. Seedlings were larger and had more root growth.
Potential Applications
G1852 or its equivalogs can be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and therefore, be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G1863 (SEQ ID NO: 355)
Published Information
G1863 was identified by amino acid sequence similarity to the rice Growth-regulating-factor1 (GRF1), with a potential role in the regulation of stem growth in rice (Knapp et al (2000) Plant Physiol. 122: 695-704) It is found in the sequence of chromosome II section 199 of 255 (GenBank accession AC006919.5 GI:6598632), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The transcription start/stop codon was correctly predicted.
Experimental Observations
Tissue distribution of G1863 transcripts reveals that this gene was expressed constitutively, but with a reduced expression level in shoots. No changes in G1863 expression was observed in the biotic/abiotic treatments examined Physiological analysis of G1863 null mutant showed an increase in sensitivity to germination in high salt condition. The reduction in germination and seedling vigor was specific to NaCl-treated plants. G1863 null mutants responded like wild-type control in drought and osmotic essays. This phenotype was confirmed in a follow-up experiment. G1863 mutation had no apparent effect on plant development and morphology or biochemical profile.
Potential Applications
G1863 or its equivalogs could be used to modify plant tolerance to soil salinity during the germination stage.
G1880 (SEQ ID NO: 357)
Published Information
G1880 was identified in the sequence of Chromosome 2, GenBank accession number AC006532, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
Closely related sequences to G1880 include a putative zinc finger protein in rice (GenBank accession number 10934090), a predicted protein in tomato (9858780), and a cDNA sequence from M. truncatula (AW685627) Similarity between G1880 and these genes extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous.
Experimental Observations
G1880 was expressed throughout the plant, with significantly lower levels of expression in siliques. It was induced by auxin, ABA, heat, and salt, and possibly repressed by Erysiphe infection. A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G1880 was used to determine the function of this gene. These plants showed fewer disease symptoms following inoculation with a low dose of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea in two separate experiments. No altered phenotypes were observed in any morphological or biochemical assay.
Potential Applications
Since G1880 activity has been shown to affect the response of transgenic plants to the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea, G1880 could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G1895 (SEQ ID NO: 359)
Published Information
G1895 was identified as a gene in the sequence of the BAC T24P13 (Accession Number AC006535), released by the Arabidopsis thaliana Genome Center.
Experimental Observations
The function of G1895 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1895 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1895 delayed the onset of flowering in Arabidopsis by around two to three weeks under continuous light conditions, although this phenotype was observed only at low frequency. In all other physiological and biochemical assays, 35S::G1895 plants appeared identical to controls. G1895 was expressed in all tissues and the highest levels of expression were found in flowers, rosette leaves, and embryos. In rosette leaves, G1895 was be induced by auxin, ABA, and by cold stress.
Potential Applications
G1895 or its equivalogs might be used to engineer plants with a delayed flowering time.
G1902 (SEQ ID NO: 361)
Published Information
G1902 corresponds to the Arabidopsis adof2 gene (Accession number AB017565).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1902 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1902 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1902 produced deleterious effects on plant growth and development. All 35S::G1902 primary transformants appeared markedly small throughout the life cycle, produced thin inflorescence stems, and showed poor fertility compared to wild type. Comparable effects were observed, to varying extents, in each of the three T2 populations examined Additionally, plants from one of the T2 populations showed aberrant flowers with narrow perianth organs and short stamens. It is noteworthy that all three T2 populations showed an apparent deficit of kanamycin resistant seedlings, indicating that G1902 expression may have been lethal at high dosages, or that the NPT marker gene was being silenced.
35S::G1902 plants produced more seed oil than wild-type plants. G1902 was expressed in all tissues, and was induced by auxin, ABA, heat and drought stress.
Potential Applications
G1902 or its equivalogs may be used for increasing seed oil production in plants, which would be of nutritional value for food for human consumption as well as animal feeds.
G1903 (SEQ ID NO: 363)
Published Information
G1903 was identified from the Arabidopsis genomic sequence, GenBank accession number AC021046, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other DOF related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Experimental Observations
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1903 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Two lines showed a significant decrease in seed protein content and an increase in seed oil content as assayed by NIR, otherwise the phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all other assays performed.
Gene expression profiling using RT/PCR showed that G1903 was expressed predominantly in flowers, however it was almost undetected in roots and seedlings. Furthermore, there was no significant effect on expression levels of G1903 after exposure to environmental stress conditions.
Potential Applications
Seed proteins play a central role in human and animal diets and represent a multibillion dollar market worldwide. G1903 or its equivalogs could be used to alter seed protein amounts and/or composition which could impact yield as well as the caloric content and the nutritional value and production of various food products. An increase in storage proteins is desirable for example in corn seeds to increase the nutritional value of the meal.
G1919 (SEQ ID NO: 365)
Published Information
G1919 was identified as a gene in the sequence of the P1 clone MBK5 (Accession Number AB005234), released by the Kazusa DNA Research Institute (Chiba, Japan).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1919 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1919 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G1919 transformants displayed wild-type morphology at all stages of development. However, plants overexpressing G1919 showed a greater tolerance to the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea than control plants. This phenotype has been confirmed by repeated experiment. No other altered phenotypes were observed in any of the physiological or biochemical assays. G1919 was expressed at low levels in flowers, and at higher levels in embryos and siliques. G1919 was not significantly induced by any condition tested.
Potential Applications
Since G1919 activity has been shown to affect the response of transgenic plants to the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea, G1919 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G1927 (SEQ ID NO: 367)
Published Information
G1927 was identified in the sequence of BAC F23M19, GenBank accession number AC007454, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1927 showed extensive sequence similarity to a NAC protein from tomato (BG350410).
Experimental Observations
G1927 (SEQ ID NO: 367) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1927 in Arabidopsis resulted in plants that had an altered response to pathogen. Plants overexpressing G1927 showed fewer disease symptoms following infection with the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum compared with control plants. The experiment was repeated on individual lines, and all three lines showed the enhanced pathogen tolerance phenotype. G1927 expression appeared to be ubiquitous according to RT-PCR analysis.
Potential Applications
G1927 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants.
G1930 (SEQ ID NO: 369)
Published Information
G1930 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone K13N2 (gene K13N2.7, GenBank protein accession number BAA95760).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1930 shows sequence similarity, outside of the conserved AP2 and ABI3 domains, to a predicted rice protein (GenBank accession number BAB21218).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1930 was studied using transgenic plants in which this gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G1930 overexpressors were more tolerant to osmotic stress conditions. The plants responded to high NaCl and high sucrose on plates with more seedling vigor compared to wild-type control plants. In addition, an increase in the amount of chlorophylls a and b in seeds of two T2 lines was detected. However, constitutive expression of G1930 also produced a variety of morphological, physiological, and biochemical alterations. 35S::G1930 T1 plants were generally small and developed spindly inflorescences. The fertility of these plants was low and flowers often failed to open or pollinate.
G1930 was ubiquitously expressed and did not appear to be induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G1930 or its equivalogs could be used to increase germination under adverse osmotic stress conditions, which could impact survivability and yield. This gene could also be used to regulate the levels of chlorophyll in seeds.
G1936 (SEQ ID NO: 371)
Published Information
The sequence of G1936 was obtained from the Arabidopsis genome sequencing project, GenBank accession number AB010072, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other PCF related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Experimental Observations
The function of G1936 was studied using a line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in the gene. The DNA insertion lies shortly before the ATG start site of the coding sequence in the 5′ UTR region and is expected to result in a null mutation.
G1936 knockout mutant plants showed more disease symptoms following inoculation with the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. They also showed more disease symptoms after inoculation with a low dose of Botrytis cinerea compared to control plants.
As determined by RT-PCR, G1936 was uniformly expressed in all tissues with exception of germinating seeds. Expression level of G1936 was unchanged by any of the environmental conditions or pathogens infections tested.
Potential Applications
Since G1936 transgenic plants have an altered response to the pathogens Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea, G1936 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants
G1944 (SEQ ID NO: 373)
Published Information
The sequence of G1944 was obtained from EU Arabidopsis sequencing project, GenBank accession number AL049638, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other AT-Hook related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1944 protein shares a significant homology to Glycine max cDNA clones. Similarity between G1944 and the Glycine max cDNA clones extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous. Therefore the gene represented by cDNA clones BE822274 and BE555817 may have a function and/or utility similar to that of G1944. No further information is available about the cDNA clones BE822274 and BE555817.
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G1944 was experimentally determined and the function of G1944 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G1944 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Overexpression of G1944 reduced overall plant size and resulted in premature senescence of rosette leaves.
Physiological assays revealed that seedlings from G1944 overexpressor lines were more severely stunted in an ethylene insensitivity assay when compared to the wild-type controls. This result indicated that G1944 is involved in the ethylene signal transduction pathway. It is well known that ethylene is involved in the senescence process and therefore, the phenotype of premature senescence of rosette leaves could be related to a general sensitivity to ethylene signal transduction pathway.
As determined by RT-PCR, G1944 was expressed in most of tissues tested. Expression level of G1944 appeared to be induced by auxin and salicylic acid treatments.
Potential Applications
G1944 or its equivalogs, because of its effect on plant size and leaf senescence may be used to modify plant growth and development.
G1944 or its equivalogs could be used to alter senescence of different plant organs. Although leaf senescence is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation to recycle nutrients, the ability to control senescence in an agricultural setting has significant value. For example, a delay in leaf senescence in some maize hybrids is associated with a significant increase in yields and a delay of a few days in the senescence of soybean plants can have a large impact on yield. Delayed flower senescence may also generate plants that retain their blossoms longer and this may be of potential interest to the ornamental horticulture industry.
G1946 (SEQ ID NO: 375)
Published Information
The heat shock transcription factor G1946 is a member of the class-A HSFs (Nover et al. (1996) Cell Stress Chaperones 1: 215-223) characterized by an extended HR-A/B oligomerization domain. G1946 is found in the sequence of the chromosome 1, BAC F5D14 (GenBank accession AC007767.3 GI:7549621), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The translational start codon was incorrectly predicted.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A comparison of the amino acid sequence of G1946 with sequences available from GenBank showed strong similarity with plant HSFs of several species (Lycopersicon peruvianum, Medicago truncatula, Lycopersicon esculentum, Glycine max, Solanum tuberosum, Oryza sativa and Hordeum vulgare subsp. Vulgare).
Experimental Observations
G1946 (SEQ ID NO:375) was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G1946 resulted in accelerated flowering, with 35S::G1946 transformants producing flower buds up to a week earlier than wild-type controls (24-hour light conditions). These effects were seen in 12/20 primary transformants and in two independent plantings of each of the three T2 lines Unlike many early flowering Arabidopsis transgenic lines, which are dwarfed, 35S::G1946 transformants often reached full-size at maturity, and produced large quantities of seeds, although the plants were slightly pale in coloration and had slightly flat leaves compared to wild type. In addition, 35S::G1946 plants showed an altered response to phosphate deprivation. Seedlings of G1946 overexpressors showed more secondary root growth on phosphate-free media, when compared to wild-type control. In a repeat experiment, all three lines showed the phenotype. Overexpression of G1946 in Arabidopsis also resulted in an increase in seed glucosinolate M39501 in two T2 lines. An increase in seed oil and a decrease in seed protein were also observed in these two lines. G1946 was ubiquitously expressed, and did not appear to be significantly induced or repressed by any of the biotic and abiotic stress conditions tested, with the exception of cold, which repressed G1946 expression.
Potential Applications
G1946 or its equivalogs can be used to modify flowering time, as well as to improve the plant's performance in conditions of limited phosphate, and to alter seed oil, protein, and glucosinolate composition.
G1947 (SEQ ID NO: 377)
Published Information
The heat shock transcription factor G1947 is a member of the class-A HSFs (Nover et al. (1996) Cell Stress Chaperones 1: 215-223) characterized by an extended HR-A/B oligomerization domain. G1947 is found in the sequence of the chromosome 5 P1 clone MQD19 (GenBank accession AB026651.1 GI:4757407), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The start codon was incorrectly predicted in the public annotation.
Experimental Observations
Analysis of the endogenous level of G1947 transcripts by RT-PCR revealed a constitutive expression, with the highest expression levels in rosette leaves and the lowest in shoots and roots. G1947 expression appeared to be induced by a variety of physiological or environmental conditions (auxin, ABA, heat, drought and osmotic stress).
A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G1947 was used to analyze the function of this gene. The insertion point is 163 nucleotides downstream from the initiation codon of G1947, and therefore should result in a null mutation.
G1947 mutant plants formed inflorescences that grew for an extended period of time, and continued to generate flowers for substantially longer than wild-type controls. In G1947 mutant plants, silique development was generally poor: they were very short and contained only a few irregularly shaped seeds. Thus, the extended phase of flower production observed in G1947 knockout mutant plants might have been the result of poor fertility, because extended production of flowers and delayed floral organ abscission is often seen in sterile Arabidopsis mutants. The basis for the reduced fertility of G1947 knockout plants was not apparent from the morphology of their flowers. In addition, some inconsistent effects on seedling size were noted for G1947 knockout mutants. No size differences were noted between rosette stage G1947 knockout plants and controls, although at late stages the G1947 knockout plants appeared bushier than controls, probably due to continued growth of the inflorescence stems.
No altered phenotypes were observed for G1947 knockout plants in any of the physiological or biochemical assays performed.
Potential Applications
G1947 or its equivalogs could be used to engineer infertility in transgenic plants. G1947 may also have utility in engineering plants with longer-lasting flowers for the horticulture industry.
G1948 (SEQ ID NO: 379)
Published Information
G1948 was identified by amino acid sequence similarity to plant and mammalian ankyrin-repeat proteins. It is found in the sequence of the chromosome 2, clones T8113, T30B22 (GenBank accession number AC002535.2 GI:6598379), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. G1948 has also been referred to as CHAOS (CAO), acronym for CHLOROPHYLL A/B BINDING PROTEIN HARVESTING-ORGANELLE SPECIFIC (Klimyuk et al. (1999) Plant Cell. 11(1):87-99). The CAO protein contains ankyrin repeats in its central region, and a chromodomain in its carboxy terminal part. Chromodomains are usually found in chromatin-related proteins. However, the CAO protein was shown to be a plant-specific component of the chloroplast signal recognition particle pathway that is involved in LHCP targeting (Klimyuk et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:87-99).
Experimental Observations
The function of G1948 was analyzed through its ectopic overexpression in plants. Expression analysis by RT-PCR revealed a low/moderate expression level of G1948 in all above-ground tissues, in agreement with previously published observations (Klimyuk et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:87-99). G1948 expression was not altered by any of the and biotic/abiotic treatments examined.
The characterization of G1948 overexpressor lines revealed increased seed oil content relative to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1948 or its equivalogs could used to increase seed oil content, which would be of value for modifying the nutritional value and caloric content of food for human consumption as well as animal feeds, and may be of value in improving seed storage characteristics.
G1950 (SEQ ID NO: 381)
Published Information
G1950 was identified by amino acid sequence similarity to plant and mammalian ankyrin-repeat proteins. G1950 is found in the sequence of the chromosome 2 BAC T4M8 (GenBank accession number AC006284.3; nid=6598551), released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. G1950 has no distinctive features other than the presence of a 33-aa repeated ankyrin element known for protein-protein interaction, in the C-terminus of the predicted protein Amino acid sequence comparison shows similarity to Arabidopsis NPR1.
Experimental Observations
The 5′ and 3′ ends of G1950 were experimentally determined by RACE, and found to correspond to the prediction in GenBank. The analysis of the endogenous expression level of G1950, as determined by RT-PCR, revealed that expression was specific to embryos, siliques and germinating seeds (young seedlings). G1950 expression was induced upon auxin treatment, which indicated that G1950 plays an important role in seed/embryo development or other processes specific to seeds (stress-related or desiccation-related).
The function of G1950 was analyzed in transgenic plants overexpressing G1950 under the control of the 35S promoter. When compared to wild-type controls, plants overexpressing G1950 were more tolerant to infection with the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. The experiment was confirmed using mixed and individual lines. This result indicated that G1950, an Arabidopsis ankyrin protein with similarity to NPR1, may play a similar role to NPR1 in disease pathways. Transformants were morphologically indistinguishable from wild-type plants, and showed no biochemical changes in comparison to controls.
Potential Applications
35S::G1950 overexpression in Arabidopsis or ectopic expression in leaves has been shown to affect the onset of disease following inoculation with Botrytis cinerea. Therefore, G1950 or its equivalogs could be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants. Furthermore, seed or embryo-specific expression of G1950 may indicate a potential function for this gene or its equivalogs in seed development. The G1950 promoter could be useful for targeted gene expression in seeds.
G1958 (SEQ ID NO: 383)
Published Information
G1958 was identified in the sequence of BAC T5F17, GenBank accession number AL049917, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
G1958 has also been published as PHR1. Mutants in PHR1 show reduced growth under conditions of phosphate starvation and fail to induce genes normally regulated by low phosphate concentration (Rubio et al. (2001) Genes Devel. 15: 2122-2133).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G1958 is a member of a subclass of GARP family members that contains a second conserved domain with a somewhat regularly spaced pattern of glutamine residues. Members of this subclass are apparent in many other plant species. A potential ortholog of G1958 is a putative transcription factor from tobacco, WREBP-1 (accession number BAA75684). G1958 is the closest Arabidopsis relative of this tobacco gene, and similarity between G1958 and WREBP-1 extends beyond the signature motifs of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous. Therefore, WREBP-1 may have a function and/or utility similar to that of G1958.
Experimental Observations
The full-length coding sequence of G1958 was determined G1958 was found to be expressed throughout the plant with highest expression in rosette leaves, flowers, and embryos, and was induced by auxin and heat. A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G1958 was used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion of G1958 was approximately 90% into the coding sequence of the gene, within a region of amino acid sequence conservation that seems to define a subfamily of GARP proteins, and therefore is likely to result in a null mutation. The phenotype of these knockout plants was wild-type in all assays performed, except that they were smaller and showed less root growth than control plants when grown on plates. This phenotype may have been environmentally influenced as it was accentuated when seedlings were transferred to stress conditions, while in contrast, small size was not noted in the soil-grown plants. G1958 was apparently necessary for optimum growth and development. However, the subtle phenotype indicated that G1958 could be partially redundant. G1958 is a member of a small GARP subfamily with high sequence similarity, so it is possible that other homologs might have overlapping function.
G1958 knockout mutants had increased seed oil and decreased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G1958 or its equivalogs may be used to alter seed protein content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G1958 or its equivalogs could also be used to manipulate plant growth, in particular root growth.
G2007 (SEQ ID NO: 385)
Published Information
G2007 belongs to the MYB-(R1)R2R3 family of transcription factors. G2007 corresponds to the previously described gene Myb42 (Stracke and Weisshaar, 1999; direct submission of the sequence to GenBank).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A myb gene from Pimpinella brachycarpa (AAF22256) is related to G2007. Similarity between G2007 and this Pimpinella myb extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologous.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2007 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2007 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all biochemical and physiological assays performed. However, overexpression of G2007 resulted in a delayed switch to flowering. Under continuous light conditions, 35S::G2007 plants produced approximately twice as many primary rosette leaves as controls, and formed flower buds up to two weeks late. As a consequence of this delay in flowering, the plants also senesced later than wild type. All the plants from two independent T2 lines exhibited this phenotype, in both an initial and a repeat planting. Late flowering was also noted amongst some of the primary transformants, but the T1 generation showed considerable morphological variation, making this trait more difficult to discern.
G2007 appeared to be constitutively expressed at moderate levels in all tissues tested except germinating seeds where no expression was detected. There was no induction of G2007 in response to any environmental condition tested.
Potential Applications
G2007 or its equivalogs may be used to delay flowering in plants. In species such as sugarbeet where the vegetative parts of the plants constitute the crop and the reproductive tissues are discarded, it would be advantageous to delay or prevent flowering. Extending vegetative development could bring about large increases in yields.
Additionally, a major concern is the escape of transgenic pollen from GMOs to wild species or so-called organic crops. Genes such as G2007 or its equivalogs that prevent vegetative transgenic crops from flowering would eliminate this worry.
G2010 (SEQ ID NO: 387)
Published Information
G2010 is a member of the SBP family of transcription factors and corresponds to spl4 (Cardon et al., 1999). Expression of spl4 is up-regulated during development under both long day and short day conditions and is highly expressed in the inflorescence tissue. Expression of G2010 is localized to the rib meristem and inter-primordial regions of the inflorescence apex (Cardon et al (1999) Gene 237:91-104).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
A gene related to G2010 is squamosa-promoter binding protein 1 from Antirrhinum majus. 
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2010 was determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2010 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2010 resulted in a clear reduction in time to flowering. Under continuous light conditions, at 20-25° C., three independent T2 lines of 35S::G2010 plants flowered approximately one week earlier than wild-type controls. The primary shoot of 35S::G2010 plants switched to reproductive growth after producing 5-6 rosette leaves, compared with 8-10 rosette leaves in controls. Flower buds were first visible 12-14 days after sowing in 35S::G2010 plants compared with approximately 20 days for wild type. 35S::G2010 transformants were also observed to begin senescence sooner than controls. Otherwise, plants overexpressing G2010 are wild-type in phenotype.
Expression of G2010 was not detected by RT-PCR in any of the tissues tested. G2010 was slightly induced in rosette leaves in response to heat and cold stress treatments as well as salicylic acid treatment. The expression profile for G2010 indicated that this gene is involved in a plant's transition to flowering normally and in response to stressful environmental conditions.
Potential Applications
The potential utility of a gene such as G2010 or its equivalogs is to accelerate flowering time.
G2053 (SEQ ID NO: 389)
Published Information
G2053 was identified in the sequence of BAC T27C4, GenBank accession number AC022287, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of G2053 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2053 in Arabidopsis resulted in plants with altered osmotic stress tolerance. In a root growth assay on media containing high concentrations of PEG, G2053 overexpressors showed more root growth compared to wild-type controls.
Potential Applications
Based on the altered stress tolerance induced by G2053 overexpression, this transcription factor or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response water deficit conditions and, therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G2059 (SEQ ID NO: 391)
Published Information
G2059 corresponds to gene AT4g13620 (CAB78404).
Experimental Observations
The function of G2059 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G2059 plants did not show major alterations in morphology and development, and were wild-type in the physiological and biochemical analyses that were performed. However, subtle changes in rosette leaf morphology were detected in 35S::G2059 transformants: rosette leaves were slightly darker green and rather narrow compared to controls.
G2059 expression was detected by RT-PCR in root tissue, and it appeared to be ectopically induced by heat stress.
As measured by NIR, G2059 overexpressors had decreased seed oil content and increased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G2059 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed oil content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G2085 (SEQ ID NO: 393)
Published Information
G2085 was identified as a gene in the sequence of BAC AL078637, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The sequence of G2085 was experimentally determined and the data presented for this gene were from plants homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G2085. The T-DNA insertion of this gene was found to be in coding sequence and therefore this knockout mutant was likely to contain a null allele of G2085.
Although G2085 was constitutively expressed throughout the plant, its expression was markedly repressed by a variety of stress conditions such as ABA, cold, osmotic stress and Erysiphe, indicating that it may be a negative regulator of stress responses in Arabidopsis. 
Seed of these G2085 knockout mutants had increased size and altered color.
Potential Applications
G2085 or its equivalogs could be used to modify seed size and/or morphology, which could have an impact on yield and appearance
G2105 (SEQ ID NO: 395)
Published Information
G2105 was discovered as a gene in BAC T22K18, accession number AC010927, released by the Arabidopsis genome initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2105 has similarity within the conserved domain of non-Arabidopsis proteins.
Experimental Observations
The ORF boundary of G2105 (SEQ ID NO: 395) was determined and G2105 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2105 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Two of four T2 lines examined appeared dark green and were smaller than wild type at all stages of development. Additionally, the adaxial leaf surfaces from these plants had a somewhat ‘lumpy’ appearance caused by trichomes being raised-up on small mounds of epidermal cells. Two lines of G2105 overexpressing plants had larger seed. G2105 expression was root specific and induced in leaves by auxin, abscisic acid, high temperature, salt and osmotic stress treatments.
Potential Applications
On the basis of the analyses, G2105 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate some aspect of plant growth or development, particularly in trichome development.
In addition, G2105 or its equivalogs can be used to modify seed size and/or morphology, which can have an impact on yield.
The promoter of G2105 can have some utility as a root specific promoter.
G2110 (SEQ ID NO: 397)
Published Information
G2110 corresponds to gene F6A14.5 (AAF27095).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2110 shows sequence similarity, outside of the conserved WRKY domain, with other proteins of the family from several plant species, such as AC007789—9 putative WRKY DNA binding protein (gi5042446), from rice.
Experimental Observations
The function of G2110 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2110 resulted in plants with an altered salt stress response. In a root growth assay on media containing high concentrations of NaCl, G2110 overexpressing lines showed more seedling vigor, less bleaching and more root growth compared to wild-type control plants. In repeat experiments, all three lines showed the salt tolerance phenotype.
No consistent alterations in plant morphology resulted from G2110 overexpression, and 35S::G2110 plants were wild-type in the biochemical analyses that were performed.
G2110 was expressed in a variety of tissues, including flower, shoot, embryo, silique, and germinating seedling samples; its expression was not detected in leaf and root tissues. G2110 expression may have been altered by several physiological conditions, and, was ectopically induced by auxin and by heat.
Potential Applications
G2110 or its equivalogs could be used to improve plant performance under conditions of salt stress. Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration that is higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant would impact survivability and yield.
G2114 (SEQ ID NO: 399)
Published Information
G2114 corresponds to gene F28P22.24 (AAF21171).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2114 shows sequence similarity, outside of the conserved AP2 domain, with other proteins of the family from several plant species, such as the one from Glycine max represented by EST AW780688 s175e07.y1 Gm-c1027 Glycine max cDNA clone GENOME SYSTEMS CLONE ID: Gm-c1027-7165.
Experimental Observations
The function of G2114 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Seeds from one of the T2 populations were larger than controls. This effect was apparent in seed from this population's primary transformant, but was not noted in the other T2 populations.
35S::G2114 plants were wild-type in the physiological and biochemical analyses that were performed.
G2114 expression was primarily detected in embryo, silique, and germinating seedling tissue. G2114 was not ectopically induced by any of the biotic and abiotic stress conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G2114 or its equivalogs could be used to modify seed size and/or morphology, which could have an impact on yield and appearance
G2117 (SEQ ID NO: 401)
Published Information
G2117 was identified in the sequence of BAC T6L1, GenBank accession number AC011665, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of G2117 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter.
Plants overexpressing G2117 had altered leaf morphology, coloration, and smaller overall plant size and were generally small with short, rounded, dark green leaves that became curled later in development. These plants generated thin inflorescence stems developed a rather bushy appearance, and had reduced fertility. Overexpression of G2117 in Arabidopsis also resulted in an increase in seed glucosinolate M39497 in two T2 lines. No other phenotypic alterations were observed.
G2117 appeared to be highly expressed in roots compared to all other tissues tested.
G2117 overexpressors had increased seed protein content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G2117 or its equivalogs may be useful for altering seed glucosinolate composition.
G2117 or equivalog overexpression may also be used to alter seed protein content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products.
G2123 (SEQ ID NO: 403)
Published Information
G2123 corresponds to a predicted putative 14-3-3 protein in annotated BAC clone T11I11 (AC012680), from chromosome 1 of Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
Because there is a high degree of similarity among all GF14 proteins, there are several GF14 proteins from other plant species, which are closely related to G2123.
Experimental Observations
G2123 corresponds to a predicted putative 14-3-3 protein in annotated BAC clone T11I11 (AC012680), from chromosome 1 of Arabidopsis. 
G2123 (SEQ ID NO: 403) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2123 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all assays performed. G2123 was expressed primarily in developing seeds and silique tissue in wild-type plants.
G2123 overexpressors produced more seed oil than wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G2123 or its equivalogs could used to increase seed oil content, which would be of value for modifying the nutritional value and caloric content of food for human consumption as well as animal feeds, and may be of value in improving seed storage characteristics.
G2130 (SEQ ID NO: 405)
Published Information
G2130 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone F15G16 (AL132959, gene F15G16.20).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2130 shows sequence similarity, outside of the conserved AP2 domain, with a protein from Medicago truncatula, represented by EST sequence AW685524.
Experimental Observations
The function of G2130 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G2130 plants showed a variety of morphological and physiological alterations. Overexpression of G2130 reduced overall plant size, resulted in premature senescence, and compromised fertility. 35S::G2130 plants were smaller than wild-type controls throughout development. At around the time of bolting, leaves developed yellow patches of senesced tissue. The inflorescences from these plants were generally very thin and carried flowers with poorly developed stamens. Many flowers senesced without pollination and failed to develop a silique.
G2130 overexpressing lines showed more seedling vigor in a heat stress tolerance germination assay compared to wild-type controls. However, no difference was detected in the heat stress response assay, which is performed on older seedlings, indicating that the phenotype could be specific for germination. G2130 overexpressing lines are also somewhat more sensitive to chilling: the plants are more chlorotic and stunted when grown at 8° C. compared to the wild-type controls. They also showed more disease symptoms following inoculation with a low dose of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. 
G2130 was ubiquitously expressed and did not appear to be significantly induced by any of the conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G2130 or its equivalogs could be used to improve seed germination under heat stress.
G2133 (SEQ ID NO: 407)
Published Information
G2133 corresponds to gene F26A9.11 (AAF23336).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2133 shows sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved AP2/EREBP domain.
Experimental Observations
G2133 (SEQ ID NO: 407) was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2133 caused a variety of alterations in plant growth and development: delayed flowering, altered inflorescence architecture, and a decrease in overall size and fertility. At early stages, 35S::G2133 transformants were markedly smaller than controls and displayed curled, dark-green leaves. Most of these plants remained in a vegetative phase of development substantially longer than controls, and produced an increased number of leaves before bolting. In the most severely affected plants, bolting occurred more than a month later than in wild type (24-hour light). In addition, the plants displayed a reduction in apical dominance and formed large numbers of shoots simultaneously, from the axils of rosette leaves. These inflorescence stems had short internodes, and carried increased numbers of cauline leaf nodes, giving them a very leafy appearance. The fertility of 35S::G2133 plants was generally very low. In addition, G2133 overexpressing lines were more resistant to the herbicide glyphosate. In a repeat experiment, two lines were more tolerant while one line was wild type. G2133 expression was detected in a variety of tissues: flower, leaf, embryo, and silique samples. Its expression was altered by several conditions, including auxin treatment, osmotic stress, and Fusarium infection.
Potential Applications
G2133 or its equivalogs can be used for the generation of glyphosate resistant plants, and to increase plant resistance to oxidative stress.
G2133 or its equivalogs may also be used to delay flowering in plants.
G2138 (SEQ ID NO: 409)
Published Information
G2138 corresponds to gene F23N20.12 (AAF26022).
Experimental Observations
The function of G2138 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G2138 plants were wild-type in morphology and development. G2138 overexpressors produced more seed oil than wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G2138 or its equivalogs could used to increase seed oil content, which would be of value for modifying the nutritional value and caloric content of food for human consumption as well as animal feeds, and may be of value in improving seed storage characteristics.
G2140 (SEQ ID NO: 411)
Published Information
The sequence of G2140 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AC011665, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. G2140 corresponds to gene F14K14.8 (AAG52041).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2140 proteins show extensive sequence similarity with a tomato ovary cDNA, TAMU Lycopersicon esculentum (AI488313) and a Glycine max cDNA clone (BE020519).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2140 (SEQ ID NO: 411) was determined G2140 was expressed throughout the plant. It showed repression by salicylic acid and Erysiphe infection. Overexpressing G2140 in Arabidopsis resulted in seedlings that were more tolerant to osmotic stress conditions. In germination assays where seedlings were exposed to high concentrations of sucrose or NaCl, all three lines tested showed better cotyledon expansion and seedling vigor. Additionally, G2140 overexpressing plants showed insensitivity to ABA in a germination assay. In general, G2140 overexpressing plants were small and sickly with short roots when grown in Petri plates. The combination of ABA insensitivity and resistance to osmotic stress at germination had also been observed for other genes, for example, G1820 and G926. Significantly, the ABA resistance was detected in a germination assay. ABA is involved in maintaining seed dormancy, and it is possible that ABA insensitivity at the germination stage promotes germination despite unfavorable conditions.
When grown in soil, G2140 overexpressing plants displayed marked changes in Arabidopsis leaf and root morphology. All twenty of the 35S::G2140 primary transformants displayed, to various extents, leaves with upcurled margins. In the most severe cases, the leaves became highly contorted and the plants were slightly small and grew more slowly than controls. Three T1 lines that showed substantial levels of G2140 overexpression (determined by RT-PCR) were chosen for further study. The T2 seedlings from each of these lines exhibited stunted roots compared with controls. Seedlings from two of these lines also showed upcurled cotyledons. At later stages, however, some T2-plants appeared wild type. Plants from some T2-populations were rather varied in size and showed hints of leaf curling later in development. However, this effect was less severe than that seen in the T1 lines. To verify the leaf-curling phenotype, two further T2 populations were morphologically examined; seedlings from one line were found to be extremely tiny with thickened hypocotyls and short stunted roots. Such plants were too small for transfer to soil. However, another line of T2-18 showed slightly contorted cotyledons and formed severely upcurled leaves, confirming the effects seen in the T1 generation.
Potential Applications
G2140 affects ABA sensitivity, and thus when transformed into a plant this transcription factor or its equivalogs may diminish cold, drought, oxidative and other stress sensitivities, and also be used to alter plant architecture, and yield.
G2140 or its equivalogs are useful for creating plants that germinate better under conditions of high salt. Evaporation from the soil surface causes upward water movement and salt accumulation in the upper soil layer where the seeds are placed. Thus, germination normally takes place at a salt concentration much higher than the mean salt concentration in the whole soil profile. Increased salt tolerance during the germination stage of a crop plant will impact survivability and yield. In addition, G2140 or its equivalogs can be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and, therefore, can be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, and freezing.
G2143 (SEQ ID NO: 413)
Published Information
The sequence of G2143 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AL132976, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. G2143 corresponds to gene F11C1—170 (CAB62312).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2143 protein shared extensive homology in the basic helix loop helix region with a protein encoded by Glycine max cDNA clones (AW832545, BG726819 and BG154493) and a Lycopersicon esculentum cDNA clone (BE451174). There was lower homology outside of the region.
Experimental Observations
G2143 (SEQ ID NO: 413) is a member of a clade of highly related HLH/MYC proteins that also includes G779, G1063, G1499, and G2557. All of these genes caused similar pleiotropic phenotypic effects when overexpressed, the most striking of which was the production of ectopic carpelloid tissue. These genes can be considered key regulators of carpel development. Twelve out of twenty 35S::G2143 T1 lines showed a very severe phenotype; these plants were markedly small and had narrow, curled, dark-green leaves. Such individuals were completely sterile and formed highly abnormal inflorescences; shoots often terminated in pin-like structures, and flowers were replaced by filamentous carpelloid structures, or a fused mass of carpelloid tissue. Furthermore, lateral branches usually failed to develop, and tiny patches of stigmatic tissue often formed at axillary nodes of the inflorescence. Strongly affected plants displayed the highest levels of transgene expression (determined by RT-PCR). The remaining T1 lines showed lower levels of G2143 overexpression; these plants were still distinctly smaller than wild type, but had relatively normal inflorescences and produced seed. Since the strongest 35S::G2143 lines were sterile, three lines with a relatively weak phenotype, that had produced sufficient seed for biochemical analysis, were selected for further study. T2-11 plants displayed a very mild phenotype and had somewhat small, narrow, dark green leaves. The other two T2 populations, however, appeared wild type, suggesting that transgene activity might have been reduced between the generations. Reduced seedling vigor was noted in the physiological assays. G2143 expression was detected at low levels in flowers and siliques, and at higher levels in germinating seed.
Potential Applications
G2143 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate flower form and structure or plant fertility. One application for manipulation of flower structure can be in the production of saffron, which is derived from the stigmas of Crocus sativus. 
G2144 (SEQ ID NO: 415)
Published Information
The sequence of G2144 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AL132977, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. G2144 corresponds to gene T10K17.10 (CAB67608).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2144 was determined. G2144 was expressed at low to moderate levels throughout the plant. It was not significantly induced or repressed by any of the conditions tested.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2144 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2144 in Arabidopsis produced pleiotropic morphological changes that indicate the gene might affect light regulated development, or shade avoidance responses. At the seedling stage, 35S::G2144 transformants often exhibited elongated cotyledons and hypocotyls. Later, the plants developed rather pale, narrow, flat leaves that had long petioles, and were sometimes positioned in a vertical orientation. Flowering occurred several days earlier than in wild type and inflorescence stems were typically rather thin and spindly. Interestingly, in many of the plants, inflorescence stems sporadically split open at later stages. Additionally, in some plants, large numbers of secondary leaves developed in the axils of primary rosette leaves, and occasionally, internode elongation occurred between rosette leaves. It should also be noted that fertility was often poor; flowers sometimes failed to properly open or showed contorted organs, and seed yield was low.
Morphological alterations in the 35S::G2144 plants were somewhat similar to those in the 35S::G1494 plants.
In addition, overexpression of G2144 in Arabidopsis resulted in an increase in leaf glucosinolate M39480 in two T2 lines.
Potential Applications
G2144 or its equivalogs can be used to alter how plants respond to light. For example, it may be used to manipulate plant growth and development, and flowering time.
G2144 or its equivalogs could be used to alter glucosinolate composition in plants.
G2144 or its equivalogs could also be used to alter flowering time.
G2153 (SEQ ID NO: 417)
Published Information
The sequence of G2153 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AC011437, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other AT-hook related proteins in Arabidopsis. G2153 corresponds to gene F7O18.4 (AAF04888).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2153 protein shows extensive sequence similarity with Oryza sativa chromosome 2 and 8 clones (AP004020 and AP003891), a Lotus japonicus cDNA (AW720668) and a Medicago truncatula cDNA clone (AW574000).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2153 was determined. G2153 was strongly expressed in roots, embryos, siliques, and germinating seed, but at low or undetectable levels in shoots, flowers, and rosette leaves. It was not significantly induced or repressed by any condition tested.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2153 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2153 in Arabidopsis resulted in seedlings with an altered response to osmotic stress. In a germination assay on media containing high sucrose, G2153 overexpressors had more expanded cotyledons and longer roots than the wild-type controls. This phenotype was confirmed in repeat experiments on individual lines, and all three lines showed osmotic tolerance. Increased tolerance to high sucrose could also be indicative of effects on sugar sensing. Overexpression of G2153 produced no consistent effects on Arabidopsis morphology, and no altered phenotypes were noted in any of the biochemical assays.
Potential Applications
G2153 or its equivalogs can be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and, therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G2153 or its equivalogs may also be useful for altering a plant's response to sugars.
G2155 (SEQ ID NO: 419)
Published Information
The sequence of G2155 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AC012188, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other AT-hook related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2155 protein shows extensive sequence similarity with Medicago truncatula cDNA clones (BG646893 and BG647027) and a Glycine max cDNA clone (BI426899).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2155 was determined. G2155 expression was detected at low levels only in flowers and embryos. It was not induced in rosette leaves by any condition tested.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2155 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2155 produced a marked delay in the time to flowering. Under continuous light conditions, 35S::G2155 transformants displayed a considerable extension of vegetative development, and typically formed flower buds about two weeks later than wild-type controls. At early stages, the plants were slightly small and had rather rounded leaves compared to wild type. However, later in development, when the leaves were fully expanded, 35S::G2155 plants became very large, dark-green, and senesced much later than controls.
In addition, overexpression of G2155 resulted in an increase in seed glucosinolate M39497 in two T2 lines. No other phenotypic alterations were observed in any of the biochemical or physiological assays.
Potential Applications
G2155 or equivalog overexpression may be used to delay flowering.
G2155 or its equivalogs could also be used to alter seed glucosinolate composition.
G2192 (SEQ ID NO: 421)
Published Information
G2192 was identified in the sequence of BAC T19F6, GenBank accession number AC002343, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2192 is very similar to a rice gene on clone P0708G2, accession number AP001539, released as part of the rice genome sequencing project. Homology between G2192 and this rice gene extends well beyond the conserved domain and thus the two genes may be orthologs.
Experimental Observations
The annotation of G2192 in BAC AC002343 was experimentally determined. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2192 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2192 in Arabidopsis resulted in an decrease in 18:3 fatty acid in seeds in two T2 lines. These lines also showed changes in 16:0, 18:0 and 18:2 fatty acids.
G2192 appeared to be constitutively expressed in all tissues and environmental conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G2192 or its equivalogs may have utility to alter seed fatty acid composition, which would be of significant nutritional value.
G2295 (SEQ ID NO: 423)
Published Information
G2295 corresponds to gene K19M22.9 (BAB09634).
Experimental Observations
The function of G2295 was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2295 accelerated flowering by up to one week under 24-hour light conditions. Early flowering was apparent in all plants from two independent 35S::G2295 T2 lines in each of two separate sowings. Additionally, these plants had rather flat leaves compared to wild type. In the T1 generation, five of twenty lines also flowered markedly earlier than controls.
According to the results obtained in the RT-PCR experiments, G2295 was specifically expressed in embryo and silique tissues. It was not clear whether the alterations in flowering time observed in the 35S::G2295 overexpressors reflected the true function of the gene. There have already been cases described of Arabidopsis transcription factor genes that are specifically expressed in flower-derived tissues but that can affect flowering time when their expression pattern is modified, including a homeobox gene long considered representing a true flowering time locus, FWA Similar examples have been found (e.g., G183).
35S::G2295 plants were wild-type in the physiological and biochemical analyses that were performed.
Potential Applications
G2295 or its equivalogs could be used to modify flowering time characteristics. In addition, the promoter of the gene could be used to drive embryo/silique-specific gene expression.
G2340 (SEQ ID NO: 425)
Published Information
G2340 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of MYB transcription factors. G2340 corresponds to gene At1g74080 (AAK54746), and is also referred to as MYB122.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2340 shows sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved Myb domain.
Experimental Observations
G2340 (SEQ ID NO: 425) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2340 produced a spectrum of deleterious effects on Arabidopsis growth and development. 35S::G2340 primary transformants were generally smaller than controls, and at early stages some displayed leaves that were held in a vertical orientation. The most severely affected lines died at early stages. Others survived, but displayed necrosis of the blades in later rosette leaves and cauline leaves. Inflorescence development was also highly abnormal; stems were typically shorter than wild type, often ‘kinked’ at nodes, and the tissue had a rather fleshy succulent appearance. Flower buds were frequently poorly formed, failed to open and withered away without siliques developing. Additionally, secondary shoot growth frequently failed the tips of such structures sometimes senesced. Due to these abnormalities, many of the primary transformants were completely infertile. Three T1 lines with a relatively weak phenotype, which did set some seed, were selected for further study. Plants from one T2-population displayed a strong phenotype, and died early in development. The other two T2 populations were slightly small, but the effects were much weaker than those seen in the parental plants, suggesting that activity of the transgene might have become reduced between the generations. It should be noted that G2340 and G671 are part of the same clade and that they had very similar morphological phenotypes and a similar expression pattern. These two genes may have overlapping or redundant phenotypes in the plant. Small, pale seedlings with strap-like leaves that held a vertical orientation were found in the mixed line populations of 35S::G2340 transgenic seedlings when grown under sterile conditions, similar to those observed in soil grown plants in the T1 generation. The necrotic lesions observed on the T1 plants grown in soil were not observed on the plants grown in culture. The necrotic lesion phenotype is a classic lesion mimic phenotype and would suggest that G2340 is involved in cell death responses, or alternatively G2340 overexpressor plants are hypersensitive to stresses. One class of lesion mimic forms progressive lesions following an inductive stress. Lesion formation may be induced in G2340 overexpressing plants grown in culture. In addition to the morphological changes, overexpression of G2340 resulted in an extreme alteration in seed glucosinolate profile. This phenotype was observed in one line in seed from two independent plantings. According to RT-PCR analysis, G2340 was expressed primarily in roots and was slightly induced in leaf tissue in response to auxin and heat treatments.
Potential Applications
G2340 or its equivalogs can be used to engineer plants with an inducible cell death response. A gene that regulates cell death in plants can be used to induce a pathogen protective hyper-response (HR) in plants without the potentially detrimental consequences of a constitutive systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Other potential utilities include the creation of novel abscission zones or inducing death in reproductive organs to prevent the spread of pollen, transgenic or otherwise. In the case of necrotrophic pathogens that rely on dead plant tissue as a source of nutrients, prevention of cell death could confer tolerance to these diseases. Overexpression of G2340 in Arabidopsis also resulted in an extreme alteration in seed glucosinolate profile. Therefore, the gene or its equivalogs can be used to alter glucosinolate composition in plants.
G2343 (SEQ ID NO: 427)
Published Information
G2343 is a member of the R2-R3 subfamily of Myb transcription factors. The gene was identified as part of BAC T12P18, accession number AC010852, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. A cDNA sequence corresponding to G2343 was submitted to GenBank, accession number AF214116, with the gene name MYB103.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The most related gene to G2343 is tomato gene LETHM1 (CAA64615) Similarity between G2343 and LETHM1 extends beyond the signature motif of the family to a level that would suggest the genes are orthologs.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2343 (SEQ ID NO: 427) was determined and G2343 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2343 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all assays performed. As determined by RT-PCR, G2343 was expressed in shoots, embryos and siliques. G2343 expression was induced in rosette leaves by auxin, heat stress, and infection by Fusarium oxysporum. 
As measured by NIR, G2343 overexpressors had altered seed oil content compared to wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G2343 or equivalog overexpression may be used to alter seed oil content, which may be very important for the nutritional value and production of various food products
G2346 (SEQ ID NO: 429)
Published Information
G2346 was identified in the sequence of BAC clone T10K17, GenBank accession number AL132977, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2346 shows sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved SBP domain.
Experimental Observations
G2346 (SEQ ID NO: 429) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G2346 seedlings from all three T2 populations had larger cotyledons and were more advanced than controls. This indicated that the seedlings developed more rapidly that the control plants. At later stages, however, G2346 overexpressing plants showed no consistent differences from control plants. The phenotype of these transgenic plants was wild-type in all other assays performed. According to RT-PCR analysis, G2346 was expressed ubiquitously.
Potential Applications
G2346 or its equivalogs can be used to produce plants that develop more quickly, particularly at early stages. For almost all commercial crops, it is desirable to use plants that establish more quickly, since seedlings and young plants are particularly susceptible to stress conditions such as salinity or disease. Since many weeds may outgrow young crops or out-compete them for nutrients, it would also be desirable to determine means for allowing young crop plants to out compete weed species. Increasing seedling growth rate (emergence) contributes to seedling vigor and allows for crops to be planted earlier in the season with less concern for losses due to environmental factors. Early planting helps add days to the critical grain-filling period and increases yield.
G2347 (SEQ ID NO: 431)
Published Information
G2347 is a member of the SBP family of transcription factors and corresponds to spl5 (Cardon et al., 1999). Expression of spl5 is up-regulated in seedlings during development under both long day and short day conditions and is highly expressed in the inflorescence tissue. Expression of G2347 is specifically localized in the inflorescence apical meristem and young flowers (Cardon et al. (1999) Gene 237: 91-104).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
The closest relative to G2347 is the Antirrhinum protein, SBP2 (CAA63061). The similarity between these two proteins is extensive enough to suggest they might have similar functions in a plant.
Experimental Observations
G2347 (SEQ ID NO: 431) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2347 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2347 markedly reduced the time to flowering in Arabidopsis. This phenotype was apparent in the majority of primary transformants and in all plants from two out of the three T2 lines examined. Under continuous light conditions, 35S::G2347 plants formed flower buds up a week earlier than wild type. Many of the plants were rather small and spindly compared to controls. To demonstrate that overexpression of G2347 could induce flowering under less inductive photoperiods, two T2 lines were re-grown in 12 hour conditions; again, all plants from both lines bolted early, with some initiating flower buds up to two weeks sooner than wild type. As determined by RT-PCR, G2347 was highly expressed in rosette leaves and flowers, and to much lower levels in embryos and siliques. No expression of G2347 was detected in the other tissues tested. G2347 expression was repressed by cold, and by auxin treatments and by infection by Erysiphe. G2347 is also highly similar to the Arabidopsis protein G2010. The level of homology between these two proteins suggested they could have similar, overlapping, or redundant functions in Arabidopsis. In support of this hypothesis, overexpression of both G2010 and G2347 resulted in early flowering phenotypes in transgenic plants.
Potential Applications
G2347 or its equivalogs may be used to modify the time to flowering in plants.
G2379 (SEQ ID NO: 433)
Published Information
G2379 was identified in the sequence of BAC MOP10, GenBank accession number AB005241, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The annotation of G2379 in BAC AB005241 was experimentally confirmed. The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2379 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. G2379 overexpressing plants showed increased seedling vigor when grown on media containing elevated sucrose levels. This phenotype might be indicative of either altered sugar sensing or increased tolerance of osmotic stress. No altered morphological or biochemical phenotypes were observed. G2379 appeared to be constitutively expressed in all tissues and environmental conditions tested.
Potential Applications
G2379 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and, therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing. G2379 or its equivalogs may also be useful for altering a plant's response to sugars.
G2430 (SEQ ID NO: 435)
Published Information
G2430 was identified in the sequence of BAC F27J15, GenBank accession number AC016041, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2430 has similarity within of the conserved GARP and response-regulator domains to non-Arabidopsis proteins.
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2430 (SEQ ID NO: 435) was determined G2430 is a member of the response regulator class of GARP proteins (ARR genes), although one of the two conserved aspartate residues characteristic of response regulators is not present. The second aspartate, the putative phosphorylated site, is retained so G2430 can have response regulator function. G2430 was specifically expressed in embryo and silique tissue. G2430 can regulate plant growth; in morphological analyses, plants overexpressing G2430 showed more rapid growth than control plants at early stages, and in two of three lines examined produced large, flat leaves. Early flowering was observed for some lines, but this effect was inconsistent between plantings.
Overexpression of G2430 in Arabidopsis resulted in seedlings that are more tolerant to heat in a germination assay. Seedlings from G2430 overexpressing transgenic plants were greener than the control seedlings under high temperature conditions. These observations were repeated in subsequent experiments.
Potential Applications
G2430 or its equivalogs may be used to create crops with better germination under hot conditions. The germination of many crops is very sensitive to temperature. A gene that would enhance germination in hot conditions may be useful for crops that are planted late in the season or in hot climates.
G2430 or its equivalogs can be used to promote faster development and reproduction in plants.
G2505 (SEQ ID NO: 437)
Published Information
G2505 was identified in the sequence of contig fragment No. 29, GenBank accession number AL161517, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
Analysis of the function of G2505 was attempted through the generation transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Numerous attempts were required to obtain 35S::G2505 transformants; thus, overexpression of this gene likely caused lethality during embryo or early seedling development. The transformants that were obtained exhibited improved drought stress tolerance compared to control plants.
G2505 was expressed in all tissues except shoots and rosette leaves according to RT-PCR. No induction of G2505 expression in leaf tissue was detected in response to environmental stress related conditions.
Potential Applications
G2505 or its equivalogs could be used to engineer drought hardiness into seeds or plants, thus providing for improved survival, vigor, appearance, and/or yield in drought stress conditions.
G2509 (SEQ ID NO: 439)
Published Information
G2509 corresponds to gene T2I1—20 (CAB87920).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G865 and other non-Arabidopsis AP2/EREBP proteins were similar within the conserved AP2 domain.
Experimental Observations
G2509 (SEQ ID NO: 439) was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2509 caused multiple alterations in plant growth and development, most notably, altered branching patterns, and a reduction in apical dominance, giving the plants a shorter, more bushy stature than wild type. Twenty 35S::G2509 primary transformants were examined; at early stages of rosette development, these plants displayed a wild-type phenotype. However, at the switch to flowering, almost all T1 lines showed a marked loss of apical dominance and large numbers of secondary shoots developed from axils of primary rosette leaves. In the most extreme cases, the shoots had very short internodes, giving the inflorescence a very bushy appearance. Such shoots were often very thin and flowers were relatively small and poorly fertile. At later stages, many plants appeared very small and had a low seed yield compared to wild type. In addition to the effects on branching, a substantial number of 35S::G2509 primary transformants also flowered early and had buds visible several days prior to wild type. Similar effects on inflorescence development were noted in each of three T2 populations examined. The branching and plant architecture phenotypes observed in 35S::G2509 lines resemble phenotypes observed for three other AP2/EREBP genes: G865, G1411, and G1794, G2509, G865, and G1411 form a small clade within the large AP2/EREBP family, and G1794, although not belonging to the clade, is one of the AP2/EREBP genes closest to it in the phylogenetic tree. It is thus likely that all these genes share a related function, such as affecting hormone balance.
G2509 overexpressing plants had increased seed protein compared to wild-type control plants.
Overexpression of G2509 in Arabidopsis resulted in an increase in alpha-tocopherol in seeds in two T2 lines. G2509 was ubiquitously expressed in Arabidopsis plant tissue. G2509 expression levels were altered by a variety of environmental or physiological conditions.
Potential Applications
G2509 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate plant architecture and development.
G2509 or its equivalogs can be used to alter tocopherol composition.
G2509 or its equivalogs can be useful in altering flowering time.
G2517 (SEQ ID NO: 441)
Published Information
G2517 corresponds to gene T12C14—40 (CAB82948).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2517 shows sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved WRKY domain.
Experimental Observations
G2517 (SEQ ID NO: 441) was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2517 caused alterations in plant growth and development: size variation was apparent in the 35S::G2517 T1 generation, with at least half the lines being very small. Additionally, four of twelve T1 plants formed flower buds marginally earlier than wild type. Three T1 lines were examined in the T2 generation, and all three T2 populations were slightly smaller than controls. In the physiological analysis of the T2 populations, G2517 overexpressing lines were more resistant to the herbicide glyphosate.
Potential Applications
G2517 or its equivalogs can be used for the generation of glyphosate resistant plants, and to increase plant resistance to oxidative stress.
G2520 (SEQ ID NO: 443)
Published Information
The sequence of G2520 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AC009317, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2520 shows sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved basic HLH domain.
Experimental Observations
G2520 (SEQ ID NO: 443) was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2520 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. At early stages, 35S::G2520 transformants displayed abnormal curled cotyledons, long hypocotyls, and rather short roots. During the vegetative phase, these plants formed somewhat small flat leaves. Following the switch to reproductive growth, 35S::G2520 inflorescences were typically very spindly, slightly pale colored, and stems often split open at late stages. Flowers were frequently small with narrow organs and showed poor pollen production. As a result, the seed yield from 35S::G2520 plants was low compared to wild-type controls. These effects were observed in the majority of primary transformants, and to varying extents, in all three of the T2 populations. Overexpression of G2520 also resulted in an increase in the leaf glucosinolate M39478 in two lines. In addition, these lines showed an increase in seed delta-tocopherol and a decrease in seed gamma-tocopherol. No altered phenotypes were detected in any of the physiological assays. G2520 was expressed throughout the plant and was induced by ABA, heat, salt, drought and osmotic stress.
Potential Applications
G2520 or its equivalogs may be useful for manipulating plant development and altering leaf glucosinolate composition.
G2520 or its equivalogs can also be used to modify seed tocopherol composition.
G2555 (SEQ ID NO: 445)
Published Information
The sequence of G2555 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AC023064, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. G2555 corresponds to gene At1g35460/F12A4—2 (AAG52112).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2555 was determined. G2555 was expressed throughout the plant, with the highest levels being detected in shoots, flowers, rosette leaves, siliques, and germinating seed. It was not significantly induced or repressed by any condition tested.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2555 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2555 in Arabidopsis resulted in a small decrease in the time to flowering. Under continuous light conditions, 35S::G2555 transformants produced flower buds and bolted approximately two to five days earlier than wild-type controls. Such effects were readily visible in seven of twenty primary transformants and all plants from two of the three T2 populations. The third T2 population had only two of six plants that flowered early.
G2555 overexpressing seedlings showed open cotyledons when grown in the dark, indicating that G2555 may affect photomorphogenesis. This phenotype could be related to the early flowering noted in morphology, if G2555 is involved in light regulation of development. G2555 plants also showed increased sensitivity to infection by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. In repeat experiments on individual lines, all G2555 overexpressing lines showed similar phenotypes. No altered phenotypes were detected in any of the biochemical assays.
Potential Applications
G2555 or its equivalogs may be useful for accelerating flowering time in crop plants.
Since G2555 transgenic plants have an altered response to the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea, G2555 or its equivalogs might be used to manipulate the defense response in order to generate pathogen-resistant plants. G2555 or its equivalogs may also be useful for altering some aspect of light-regulated development.
G2557 (SEQ ID NO: 447)
Published Information
The sequence of G2557 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AP001305, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other bHLH related proteins in Arabidopsis. 
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2557 protein shows extensive sequence similarity in the region of basic helix loop helix with a protein encoded by Glycine max cDNA clone (BE347811).
Experimental Observations
G2557 (SEQ ID NO: 447) is a member of a clade of highly related HLH/MYC proteins that also includes G779, G1063, G1499, and G2143. All of these genes caused similar pleiotropic phenotypic effects when overexpressed, the most striking of which was the production of ectopic carpelloid tissue. These genes can be considered key regulators of carpel development. The flowers of 35S::G2557 primary transformants displayed patches of stigmatic papillae on the sepals, and often had rather narrow petals and poorly developed stamens. Additionally, carpels were also occasionally held outside of the flower at the end of an elongated pedicel like structure. As a result of such defects, 35S::G2557 plants often showed very poor fertility and formed small wrinkled siliques. In addition to such floral abnormalities, the majority of primary transformants were also small and darker green in coloration than wild type. Approximately one third of the T1 plants were extremely tiny and completely sterile. Three T1 lines that had produced some seeds and showed a relatively weak phenotype were chosen for further study. All three of the T2 populations from these lines contained plants that were distinctly small, had abnormal flowers, and were poorly fertile compared to controls. Stigmatic tissue was not noted on the sepals of plants from these three T2 lines. Another line that had shown a moderately strong phenotype in the T1 was sown for only morphological analysis in the T2 generation. These T2 plants were small, dark green, and produced abnormal flowers with ectopic stigmatic tissue on the sepals, as had been seen in the parental plant. G2557 expression was detected at low to moderate levels in all tissues tested except shoots. G2557 was induced by cold, heat, and salt, and repressed by pathogen infection
Potential Applications
G2557 or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate flower form and structure or plant fertility. One application for manipulation of flower structure can be in the production of saffron, which is derived from the stigmas of Crocus sativus. 
G2583 (SEQ ID NO: 449)
Published Information
G2583 corresponds to gene F2I11—80 (CAB96654).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2583 showed sequence similarity with known genes from other plant species within the conserved AP2/EREBP domain.
Experimental Observations
G2583 (SEQ ID NO: 449) was studied using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. 35S::G2583 plants exhibited extremely glossy leaves. At early stages, 35S::G2583 seedlings appeared normal, but by about two weeks after sowing, the plants exhibited very striking shiny leaves, which were apparent until very late in development. Many lines displayed a variety of other effects such as a reduction in overall size, narrow curled leaves, or various non-specific floral abnormalities, which reduced fertility. These effects on leaf appearance were observed in eighteen of twenty primary transformants, and in all the plants from four of six of the T2 lines examined. The glossy nature of the leaves from 35S::G2583 plants may be a consequence of changes in epicuticular wax content or composition. G2583 belongs to a small clade within the large AP2/EREBP Arabidopsis family that also contains G975, G1387, and G977. Overexpression of G975 caused a substantial increase in leaf wax components, as well as morphological phenotypes resembling those observed in 35S::G2583 plants. G2583 was ubiquitously expressed, at higher levels in root, flower, embryo, and silique tissues.
Potential Applications
G2583 or its equivalogs can be used to modify plant appearance by producing shiny leaves. In addition, it or its equivalogs can be used to manipulate wax composition, amount, or distribution, which in turn can modify plant tolerance to drought and/or low humidity or resistance to insects.
G2701 (SEQ ID NO: 451)
Published Information
G2701 was identified in the sequence of BAC F11B9, GenBank accession number AC073395, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
The function of G2701 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2701 is Arabidopsis resulted in plants that were wild-type in morphology and in the biochemical analyses performed. However, 35S::G2701 transgenic plants were more tolerant to osmotic stress in a germination assay, the seedlings were greener with expanded cotyledons and longer roots than wild-type controls when germinated on plates containing either high salt or high sucrose. The phenotype was repeated in all three lines.
G2701 was expressed ubiquitously in Arabidopsis according to RT-PCR, and the level of G2701 expression in leaf tissue was essentially unchanged in response to environmental stress related conditions.
Potential Applications
G2701 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G2719 (SEQ ID NO: 453)
Published Information
G2719 is a member of the (R1)R2R3 subfamily of MYB transcription factors. G2719 corresponds to gene At3g55730 (AAF72669), and is also referred to as MYB109.
Experimental Observations
The function of G2719 was analyzed using transgenic plants in which the gene was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2719 in Arabidopsis resulted in plants with increased seedling vigor in a germination assay on media containing high sucrose. This phenotype could implicate G2719 in sugar sensing and/or osmotic stress tolerance. These observations were seen in repeat experiments. 35S::G2719 transgenic plants were wild-type in morphology and in the biochemical analyses performed.
G2719 was expressed ubiquitously in Arabidopsis according to RT-PCR, and the level of G2719 expression in leaf tissue was essentially unchanged in response to environmental stress related conditions.
Potential Applications
G2719 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response water deficit conditions and therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
In addition, G2719 or its equivalogs could be involved in sugar sensing pathways.
G2789 (SEQ ID NO: 455)
Published Information
The sequence of G2789 was obtained from Arabidopsis genomic sequencing project, GenBank accession number AL162295, based on its sequence similarity within the conserved domain to other AT-hook related proteins in Arabidopsis. G2789 corresponds to gene T4C21—280 (CAB82691).
Closely Related Genes from Other Species
G2789 protein shows extensive sequence similarity with Medicago truncatula cDNA clones (AL366947 and BG647144), an Oryza sativa chromosome 6 clone (AP003526) and a tomato crown gall Lycopersicon esculentum cDNA clone (BG134451).
Experimental Observations
The complete sequence of G2789 was determined. G2789 was expressed at moderate levels in roots, flowers, embryos, siliques, and germinating seeds. It was not detectable in rosette leaves or shoots. No significant induction of G2789 was observed in rosette leaves by any condition tested.
The function of this gene was analyzed using transgenic plants in which G2789 was expressed under the control of the 35S promoter. Overexpression of G2789 in Arabidopsis resulted in seedlings that are ABA insensitive and osmotic stress tolerant. In a germination assay on ABA containing media, G2789 transgenic seedlings showed enhanced seedling vigor. In a similar germination assay on media containing high concentrations of sucrose, the G2789 overexpressors also showed enhanced seedling vigor. In a repeat experiment on individual lines, all three lines showed the phenotype. The combination of ABA insensitivity and better germination under osmotic stress was also observed for G1820, G926, and G2140. It is possible that ABA insensitivity at the germination stage promoted germination despite unfavorable conditions.
Overexpression of G2789 produced alterations in leaf and flower development, and caused severe reductions in fertility. 35S::G2789 primary transformants displayed a variety of leaf abnormalities including; leaf curling, serrations, and changes in leaf shape and area. The most severely affected individuals grew slowly and were often very tiny compared with wild type. During the reproductive phase, most of the lines showed non-specific defects in flower formation; organs were frequently absent or poorly developed. As a result of such deficiencies, most of the T1 plants yielded very few seed. A comparable phenotype to that seen in the T1 was observed in two of the three T2 lines. Some plants from each of these two populations showed a somewhat attenuated phenotype, suggesting that the transgene might be becoming silenced. Plants from the third line appeared wild type in both the T1 and T2 generations.
Overexpression of G2789 in Arabidopsis did not result in any biochemical phenotypic alteration.
Potential Applications
G2789 or its equivalogs could be used to alter a plant's response to water deficit conditions and therefore, could be used to engineer plants with enhanced tolerance to drought, salt stress, and freezing.
G2830 (SEQ ID NO: 457)
Published Information
G2830 was identified in the sequence of P1 clone MF020, GenBank accession number AB013391, released by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.
Experimental Observations
G2830 was primarily expressed at a low level in embryos and siliques as determined by RT-PCR analysis. Expression of G2830 was not detected in other tissues. A line homozygous for a T-DNA insertion in G2830 was used to determine the function of this gene. The T-DNA insertion of G2830 was approximately one quarter into the coding sequence of the gene and therefore is likely to result in a null mutation.
The G2830 knockouts were found to produce more seed oil than wild-type plants.
Potential Applications
G2830 or its equivalogs can used to increase seed oil content, which would be of value for modifying the nutritional value and caloric content of food for human consumption as well as animal feeds, and may be of value in improving seed storage characteristics.
Because expression of G2830 is embryo and silique specific, its promoter could be useful for targeted gene expression in these tissues.
Example IX
Identification of Homologous Sequences
This example describes identification of genes that are orthologous to Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors from a computer homology search.
Homologous sequences, including those of paralogs and orthologs from Arabidopsis and other plant species, were identified using database sequence search tools, such as the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) (Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410; and Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acid Res. 25: 3389-3402). The tblastx sequence analysis programs were employed using the BLOSUM-62 scoring matrix (Henikoff and Henikoff (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 89: 10915-10919). The entire NCBI GenBank database was filtered for sequences from all plants except Arabidopsis thaliana by selecting all entries in the NCBI GenBank database associated with NCBI taxonomic ID 33090 (Viridiplantae; all plants) and excluding entries associated with taxonomic ID 3701 (Arabidopsis thaliana).
These sequences are compared to sequences representing genes of SEQ ID NO: 2N−1, wherein N=1-229, using the Washington University TBLASTX algorithm (version 2.0a19MP) at the default settings using gapped alignments with the filter “off”. For each gene of SEQ ID NO: 2N−1, wherein N=1-229, individual comparisons were ordered by probability score (P-value), where the score reflects the probability that a particular alignment occurred by chance. For example, a score of 3.6e-40 is 3.6×10-40. In addition to P-values, comparisons were also scored by percentage identity. Percentage identity reflects the degree to which two segments of DNA or protein are identical over a particular length. Examples of sequences so identified are presented in Table 7 and Table 9. Paralogous or orthologous sequences were readily identified and available in GenBank by Accession number (Table 7; Test sequence ID). The percent sequence identity among these sequences can be as low as 47%, or even lower sequence identity.
Candidate paralogous sequences were identified among Arabidopsis transcription factors through alignment, identity, and phylogenic relationships. A list of paralogs is shown in Table 9. Candidate orthologous sequences were identified from proprietary unigene sets of plant gene sequences in Zea mays, Glycine max and Oryza sativa based on significant homology to Arabidopsis transcription factors. These candidates were reciprocally compared to the set of Arabidopsis transcription factors. If the candidate showed maximal similarity in the protein domain to the eliciting transcription factor or to a paralog of the eliciting transcription factor, then it was considered to be an ortholog. Identified non-Arabidopsis sequences that were shown in this manner to be orthologous to the Arabidopsis sequences are provided in Table 7.

Screen of Plant cDNA Library for Sequence Encoding a Transcription Factor DNA Binding Domain that Binds to a Transcription Factor Binding Promoter Element and Demonstration of Protein Transcription Regulation Activity
The “one-hybrid” strategy (Li and Herskowitz (1993) Science 262: 1870-1874) is used to screen for plant cDNA clones encoding a polypeptide comprising a transcription factor DNA binding domain, a conserved domain. In brief, yeast strains are constructed that contain a lacZ reporter gene with either wild-type or mutant transcription factor binding promoter element sequences in place of the normal UAS (upstream activator sequence) of the GALL promoter. Yeast reporter strains are constructed that carry transcription factor binding promoter element sequences as UAS elements are operably linked upstream (5′) of a lacZ reporter gene with a minimal GAL1 promoter. The strains are transformed with a plant expression library that contains random cDNA inserts fused to the GAL4 activation domain (GAL4-ACT) and screened for blue colony formation on X-gal-treated filters (X-gal: 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactoside; Invitrogen Corporation, Carlsbad Calif.). Alternatively, the strains are transformed with a cDNA polynucleotide encoding a known transcription factor DNA binding domain polypeptide sequence.
Yeast strains carrying these reporter constructs produce low levels of beta-galactosidase and form white colonies on filters containing X-gal. The reporter strains carrying wild-type transcription factor binding promoter element sequences are transformed with a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide comprising a plant transcription factor DNA binding domain operably linked to the acidic activator domain of the yeast GAL4 transcription factor, “GAL4-ACT”. The clones that contain a polynucleotide encoding a transcription factor DNA binding domain operably linked to GLA4-ACT can bind upstream of the lacZ reporter genes carrying the wild-type transcription factor binding promoter element sequence, activate transcription of the lacZ gene and result in yeast forming blue colonies on X-gal-treated filters.
Upon screening about 2×106 yeast transformants, positive cDNA clones are isolated; i.e., clones that cause yeast strains carrying lacZ reporters operably linked to wild-type transcription factor binding promoter elements to form blue colonies on X-gal-treated filters. The cDNA clones do not cause a yeast strain carrying a mutant type transcription factor binding promoter elements fused to LacZ to turn blue. Thus, a polynucleotide encoding transcription factor DNA binding domain, a conserved domain, is shown to activate transcription of a gene.
Example XI
Gel Shift Assays
The presence of a transcription factor comprising a DNA binding domain which binds to a DNA transcription factor binding element is evaluated using the following gel shift assay. The transcription factor is recombinantly expressed and isolated from E. coli or isolated from plant material. Total soluble protein, including transcription factor, (40 ng) is incubated at room temperature in 10 μl of 1× binding buffer (15 mM HEPES (pH 7.9), 1 mM EDTA, 30 mM KCl, 5% glycerol, 5% bovine serum albumin, 1 mM DTT) plus 50 ng poly(dI-dC):poly(dI-dC) (Pharmacia, Piscataway N.J.) with or without 100 ng competitor DNA. After 10 minutes incubation, probe DNA comprising a DNA transcription factor binding element (1 ng) that has been 32P-labeled by end-filling (Sambrook et al. (1989) supra) is added and the mixture incubated for an additional 10 minutes. Samples are loaded onto polyacrylamide gels (4% w/v) and fractionated by electrophoresis at 150V for 2 h (Sambrook et al. supra). The degree of transcription factor-probe DNA binding is visualized using autoradiography. Probes and competitor DNAs are prepared from oligonucleotide inserts ligated into the BamHI site of pUC118 (Vieira et al. (1987) Methods Enzymol. 153: 3-11). Orientation and concatenation number of the inserts are determined by dideoxy DNA sequence analysis (Sambrook et al. supra). Inserts are recovered after restriction digestion with EcoRI and HindIII and fractionation on polyacrylamide gels (12% w/v) (Sambrook et al. supra).
Example XII
Introduction of Polynucleotides into Dicotyledonous Plants
Transcription factor sequences listed in the Sequence Listing recombined into pMEN20 or pMEN65 expression vectors are transformed into a plant for the purpose of modifying plant traits. The cloning vector may be introduced into a variety of cereal plants by means well known in the art such as, for example, direct DNA transfer or Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. It is now routine to produce transgenic plants using most dicot plants (see Weissbach and Weissbach, (1989) supra; Gelvin et al. (1990) supra; Herrera-Estrella et al. (1983) supra; Bevan (1984) supra; and Klee (1985) supra). Methods for analysis of traits are routine in the art and examples are disclosed above.
Example XIII
Transformation of Cereal Plants with an Expression Vector
Cereal plants such as, but not limited to, corn, wheat, rice, sorghum, or barley, may also be transformed with the present polynucleotide sequences in pMEN20 or pMEN65 expression vectors for the purpose of modifying plant traits. For example, pMEN020 may be modified to replace the NptII coding region with the BAR gene of Streptomyces hygroscopicus that confers resistance to phosphinothricin. The KpnI and BglII sites of the Bar gene are removed by site-directed mutagenesis with silent codon changes.
The cloning vector may be introduced into a variety of cereal plants by means well known in the art such as, for example, direct DNA transfer or Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. It is now routine to produce transgenic plants of most cereal crops (Vasil (1994) Plant Mol. Biol. 25: 925-937) such as corn, wheat, rice, sorghum (Cassas et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 90: 11212-11216, and barley (Wan and Lemeaux (1994) Plant Physiol. 104:37-48. DNA transfer methods such as the microprojectile can be used for corn (Fromm et al. (1990) Bio/Technol. 8: 833-839); Gordon-Kamm et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2: 603-618; Ishida (1990) Nature Biotechnol. 14:745-750), wheat (Vasil et al. (1992) Bio/Technol. 10:667-674; Vasil et al. (1993) Bio/Technol. 11:1553-1558; Weeks et al. (1993) Plant Physiol. 102:1077-1084), rice (Christou (1991) Bio/Technol. 9:957-962; Hiei et al. (1994) Plant J. 6:271-282; Aldemita and Hodges (1996) Planta 199:612-617; and Hiei et al. (1997) Plant Mol. Biol. 35:205-218). For most cereal plants, embryogenic cells derived from immature scutellum tissues are the preferred cellular targets for transformation (Hiei et al. (1997) Plant Mol. Biol. 35:205-218; Vasil (1994) Plant Mol. Biol. 25: 925-937).
Vectors according to the present invention may be transformed into corn embryogenic cells derived from immature scutellar tissue by using microprojectile bombardment, with the A188XB73 genotype as the preferred genotype (Fromm et al. (1990) Bio/Technol. 8: 833-839; Gordon-Kamm et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2: 603-618). After microprojectile bombardment the tissues are selected on phosphinothricin to identify the transgenic embryogenic cells (Gordon-Kamm et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2: 603-618). Transgenic plants are regenerated by standard corn regeneration techniques (Fromm et al. (1990) Bio/Technol. 8: 833-839; Gordon-Kamm et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2: 603-618).
The plasmids prepared as described above can also be used to produce transgenic wheat and rice plants (Christou (1991) Bio/Technol. 9:957-962; Hiei et al. (1994) Plant J. 6:271-282; Aldemita and Hodges (1996) Planta 199:612-617; and Hiei et al. (1997) Plant Mol. Biol. 35:205-218) that coordinately express genes of interest by following standard transformation protocols known to those skilled in the art for rice and wheat (Vasil et al. (1992) Bio/Technol. 10:667-674; Vasil et al. (1993) Bio/Technol. 11:1553-1558; and Weeks et al. (1993) Plant Physiol. 102:1077-1084), where the bar gene is used as the selectable marker.
Example XIV
Identification of Orthologous and Paralogous Sequences
Orthologs to Arabidopsis genes may identified by several methods, including hybridization, amplification, or bioinformatically. This example describes how one may identify equivalogs to the Arabidopsis AP2 family transcription factor CBF1 (polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 1955, encoded polypeptide SEQ ID NO: 1956), which confers tolerance to abiotic stresses (Thomashow et al. (2002) U.S. Pat. No. 6,417,428), and an example to confirm the function of homologous sequences. In this example, orthologs to CBF1 were found in canola (Brassica napus) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Degenerate primers were designed for regions of AP2 binding domain and outside of the AP2 (carboxyl terminal domain):







Mol 368 (reverse)


(SEQ ID NO: 2205)


5′- CAY CCN ATH TAY MGN GGN GT -3′


 


Mol 378 (forward)


(SEQ ID NO: 2206)


5′- GGN ARN ARC ATN CCY TCN GCC -3′


(Y: C/T, N: A/C/G/T, H: A/C/T, M: A/C, R: A/G )






Primer Mol 368 is in the AP2 binding domain of CBF1 (amino acid sequence: His-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Arg-Gly-Val, SEQ ID NO: 2909) while primer Mol 378 is outside the AP2 domain (carboxyl terminal domain) (amino acid sequence: Met-Ala-Glu-Gly-Met-Leu-Leu-Pro, SEQ ID NO: 2910).
The genomic DNA isolated from B. napus was PCR-amplified by using these primers following these conditions: an initial denaturation step of 2 min at 93° C.; 35 cycles of 93° C. for 1 min, 55° C. for 1 min, and 72° C. for 1 min; and a final incubation of 7 min at 72° C. at the end of cycling.
The PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on a 1.2% agarose gel and transferred to nylon membrane and hybridized with the AT CBF1 probe prepared from Arabidopsis genomic DNA by PCR amplification. The hybridized products were visualized by colorimetric detection system (Boehringer Mannheim) and the corresponding bands from a similar agarose gel were isolated using the Qiagen Extraction Kit (Qiagen). The DNA fragments were ligated into the TA clone vector from TOPO TA Cloning Kit (Invitrogen) and transformed into E. coli strain TOP10 (Invitrogen).
Seven colonies were picked and the inserts were sequenced on an ABI 377 machine from both strands of sense and antisense after plasmid DNA isolation. The DNA sequence was edited by sequencer and aligned with the AtCBF1 by GCG software and NCBI blast searching.
The nucleic acid sequence and amino acid sequence of one canola ortholog found in this manner (bnCBF1; polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 2203 and polypeptide SEQ ID NO: 2204) identified by this process is shown in the Sequence Listing.
The aligned amino acid sequences show that the bnCBF1 gene has 88% identity with the Arabidopsis sequence in the AP2 domain region and 85% identity with the Arabidopsis sequence outside the AP2 domain when aligned for two insertion sequences that are outside the AP2 domain.
Similarly, paralogous sequences to Arabidopsis genes, such as CBF1, may also be identified.
Two paralogs of CBF1 from Arabidopsis thaliana: CBF2 and CBF3. CBF2 and CBF3 have been cloned and sequenced as described below. The sequences of the DNA SEQ ID NO: 1957 and 1959 and encoded proteins SEQ ID NO: 1958 and 1960 are set forth in the Sequence Listing.
A lambda cDNA library prepared from RNA isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia (Lin and Thomashow (1992) Plant Physiol. 99: 519-525) was screened for recombinant clones that carried inserts related to the CBF1 gene (Stockinger et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 94:1035-1040). CBF1 was 32P-radiolabeled by random priming (Sambrook et al. supra) and used to screen the library by the plaque-lift technique using standard stringent hybridization and wash conditions (Hajela et al. (1990) Plant Physiol. 93:1246-1252; Sambrook et al. supra) 6×SSPE buffer, 60° C. for hybridization and 0.1×SSPE buffer and 60° C. for washes). Twelve positively hybridizing clones were obtained and the DNA sequences of the cDNA inserts were determined. The results indicated that the clones fell into three classes. One class carried inserts corresponding to CBF1. The two other classes carried sequences corresponding to two different homologs of CBF1, designated CBF2 and CBF3. The nucleic acid sequences and predicted protein coding sequences for Arabidopsis CBF1, CBF2 and CBF3 are listed in the Sequence Listing (SEQ ID NOs: 1955, 1957, 1959 and SEQ ID NOs: 1956, 1958, 1960, respectively). The nucleic acid sequences and predicted protein coding sequence for Brassica napus CBF ortholog is listed in the Sequence Listing (SEQ ID NOs: 2203 and 2204, respectively).
A comparison of the nucleic acid sequences of Arabidopsis CBF1, CBF2 and CBF3 indicate that they are 83 to 85% identical as shown in Table 11.

bComparisons of the nucleic acid sequences of the open reading frames are shown.






Similarly, the amino acid sequences of the three CBF polypeptides range from 84 to 86% identity. An alignment of the three amino acidic sequences reveals that most of the differences in amino acid sequence occur in the acidic C-terminal half of the polypeptide. This region of CBF1 serves as an activation domain in both yeast and Arabidopsis (not shown).
Residues 47 to 106 of CBF1 correspond to the AP2 domain of the protein, a DNA binding motif that to date, has only been found in plant proteins. A comparison of the AP2 domains of CBF1, CBF2 and CBF3 indicates that there are a few differences in amino acid sequence. These differences in amino acid sequence might have an effect on DNA binding specificity.

Transformation of Canola with a Plasmid Containing CBF1, CBF2, or CBF3
After identifying homologous genes to CBF1, canola was transformed with a plasmid containing the Arabidopsis CBF1, CBF2, or CBF3 genes cloned into the vector pGA643 (An (1987) Methods Enzymol. 253: 292). In these constructs the CBF genes were expressed constitutively under the CaMV 35S promoter. In addition, the CBF1 gene was cloned under the control of the Arabidopsis COR15 promoter in the same vector pGA643. Each construct was transformed into Agrobacterium strain GV3101. Transformed Agrobacteria were grown for 2 days in minimal AB medium containing appropriate antibiotics.
Spring canola (B. napus cv. Westar) was transformed using the protocol of Moloney et al. (1989) Plant Cell Reports 8: 238, with some modifications as described. Briefly, seeds were sterilized and plated on half strength MS medium, containing 1% sucrose. Plates were incubated at 24° C. under 60-80 μE/m2s light using a 16 hour light/8 hour dark photoperiod. Cotyledons from 4-5 day old seedlings were collected, the petioles cut and dipped into the Agrobacterium solution. The dipped cotyledons were placed on co-cultivation medium at a density of 20 cotyledons/plate and incubated as described above for 3 days. Explants were transferred to the same media, but containing 300 mg/l timentin (SmithKline Beecham, Pa.) and thinned to 10 cotyledons/plate. After 7 days explants were transferred to Selection/Regeneration medium. Transfers were continued every 2-3 weeks (2 or 3 times) until shoots had developed. Shoots were transferred to Shoot-Elongation medium every 2-3 weeks. Healthy looking shoots were transferred to rooting medium. Once good roots had developed, the plants were placed into moist potting soil.
The transformed plants were then analyzed for the presence of the NPTII gene/kanamycin resistance by ELISA, using the ELISA NPTII kit from 5Prime-3Prime Inc. (Boulder, Colo.). Approximately 70% of the screened plants were NPTII positive. Only those plants were further analyzed.
From Northern blot analysis of the plants that were transformed with the constitutively expressing constructs, showed expression of the CBF genes and all CBF genes were capable of inducing the Brassica napus cold-regulated gene BN115 (homolog of the Arabidopsis COR15 gene). Most of the transgenic plants appear to exhibit a normal growth phenotype. As expected, the transgenic plants are more freezing tolerant than the wild-type plants. Using the electrolyte leakage of leaves test, the control showed a 50% leakage at −2 to −3° C. Spring canola transformed with either CBF1 or CBF2 showed a 50% leakage at −6 to −7° C. Spring canola transformed with CBF3 shows a 50% leakage at about −10 to −15° C. Winter canola transformed with CBF3 may show a 50% leakage at about −16 to −20° C. Furthermore, if the spring or winter canola are cold acclimated the transformed plants may exhibit a further increase in freezing tolerance of at least −2° C.
To test salinity tolerance of the transformed plants, plants were watered with 150 mM NaCl. Plants overexpressing CBF1, CBF2 or CBF3 grew better compared with plants that had not been transformed with CBF1, CBF2 or CBF3.
These results demonstrate that equivalogs of Arabidopsis transcription factors can be identified and shown to confer similar functions in non-Arabidopsis plant species.

Cloning of Transcription Factor Promoters
Promoters are isolated from transcription factor genes that have gene expression patterns useful for a range of applications, as determined by methods well known in the art (including transcript profile analysis with cDNA or oligonucleotide microarrays, Northern blot analysis, semi-quantitative or quantitative RT-PCR). Interesting gene expression profiles are revealed by determining transcript abundance for a selected transcription factor gene after exposure of plants to a range of different experimental conditions, and in a range of different tissue or organ types, or developmental stages. Experimental conditions to which plants are exposed for this purpose includes cold, heat, drought, osmotic challenge, varied hormone concentrations (ABA, GA, auxin, cytokinin, salicylic acid, brassinosteroid), pathogen and pest challenge. The tissue types and developmental stages include stem, root, flower, rosette leaves, cauline leaves, siliques, germinating seed, and meristematic tissue. The set of expression levels provides a pattern that is determined by the regulatory elements of the gene promoter.
Transcription factor promoters for the genes disclosed herein are obtained by cloning 1.5 kb to 2.0 kb of genomic sequence immediately upstream of the translation start codon for the coding sequence of the encoded transcription factor protein. This region includes the 5′-UTR of the transcription factor gene, which can comprise regulatory elements. The 1.5 kb to 2.0 kb region is cloned through PCR methods, using primers that include one in the 3′ direction located at the translation start codon (including appropriate adaptor sequence), and one in the 5′ direction located from 1.5 kb to 2.0 kb upstream of the translation start codon (including appropriate adaptor sequence). The desired fragments are PCR-amplified from Arabidopsis Col-0 genomic DNA using high-fidelity Taq DNA polymerase to minimize the incorporation of point mutation(s). The cloning primers incorporate two rare restriction sites, such as Not1 and Sfi1, found at low frequency throughout the Arabidopsis genome. Additional restriction sites are used in the instances where a Not1 or Sfi1 restriction site is present within the promoter.
The 1.5-2.0 kb fragment upstream from the translation start codon, including the 5′-untranslated region of the transcription factor, is cloned in a binary transformation vector immediately upstream of a suitable reporter gene, or a transactivator gene that is capable of programming expression of a reporter gene in a second gene construct. Reporter genes used include green fluorescent protein (and related fluorescent protein color variants), beta-glucuronidase, and luciferase. Suitable transactivator genes include LexA-GAL4, along with a transactivatable reporter in a second binary plasmid (as disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/958,131, incorporated herein by reference). The binary plasmid(s) is transferred into Agrobacterium and the structure of the plasmid confirmed by PCR. These strains are introduced into Arabidopsis plants as described in other examples, and gene expression patterns determined according to standard methods know to one skilled in the art for monitoring GFP fluorescence, beta-glucuronidase activity, or luminescence.
