Filed:

Jul 5, 2007

Appl. No.:

12/307561

Inventors:

Shing Kwok - Woodland Hills CA, US
Sam Harris - Malibu CA, US
James Burns - Valley Village CA, US

Assignee:

Ceres, Inc. - Thousand Oaks CA

International Classification:

A01H 5/00
A01H 5/10

US Classification:

800298, 800290, 800306, 8003201, 426531

Abstract:

Methods and materials for modulating (e. g. , increasing or decreasing) low light tolerance in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding polypeptides that confer plants with tolerance to low light are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased low light tolerance and plant products produced from plants having increased low light tolerance.

International Classification:

C12N 15/82
C07K 14/415

Abstract:

Methods and materials for modulating low light and/or shade tolerance, and red light specific responses in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding low light and/or SD+EODFR-tolerance polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased low light and/or SD+EODFR tolerance. In addition, methods and materials involved in increasing UV-B tolerance in plants and methods and materials involved in modulating biomass levels in plants are provided.
