Transgenic Plants That Exhibit Enhanced Nitrogen Assimilation

View page
US Patent:
6864405, Mar 8, 2005
Filed:
Jun 27, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/605521
Inventors:
Gloria M. Coruzzi - New York NY, US
Timothy Brears - Durham NC, US
Assignee:
New York University - New York NY
International Classification:
A01H001/00
A01H011/00
C12N015/82
C07H021/02
C01H021/04
US Classification:
800290, 435 6, 435468, 536 231, 536 232, 800295
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing plants with improved agronomic and nutritional traits. Such traits include enhanced nitrogen assimilatory and utilization capacities, faster and more vigorous growth, greater vegetative and reproductive yields, and enriched or altered nitrogen content in vegetative and reproductive parts. More particularly, the invention relates to the engineering of plants modified to have altered expression of key enzymes in the nitrogen assimilation and utilization pathways. In one embodiment of the present invention, the desired altered expression is accomplished by engineering the plant for ectopic overexpression of one of more the native or modified nitrogen assimilatory enzymes. The invention also has a number of other embodiments, all of which are disclosed herein.
