Abstract:

A cDNA clone from Arabidopsis thaliana, pHPP1. 5, SEQ ID NO:1, which encodes the enzyme p-hydroxyphenyl pyruvic acid dioxygenase, is disclosed. A vector and microbial host containing a DNA sequence coding for the expression of Arabidopsis thaliana p-hydroxyphenyl pyruvic acid dioxygenase, and a genetic construct containing a DNA sequence coding for the expression of Arabidopsis thaliana p-hydroxyphenyl pyruvic acid dioxygenase, together with a promoter located 5' to the DNA coding sequence and a 3' termination sequence, are also disclosed. A method of creating a transgenic plant comprising said genetic construct is also disclosed.

Abstract:

Transgenic seed for crops with improved traits are provided by trait-improving recombinant DNA where plants grown from such transgenic seed exhibit one or more improved traits as compared to a control plant. Of particular interest are transgenic plants that have increased yield. The present invention also provides recombinant DNA molecules for expression of a protein, and recombinant DNA molecules for expression of mRNA complementary to at least a portion of an mRNA native to the target plant for use in gene suppression to suppress the expression of a protein.
