Abstract:
The present invention describes the previously unreported cloning and isolation of HGPRT cDNA containing an open reading frame corresponding to the HGPRT of Plasmodium falciparum, present the complete nucleotide sequence of the Plasmodium falciparum HGPRT Dral/Pstl cDNA fragment, and the expression of this gene product in an E. coli strain deficient in purine salvage.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides transgenic seeds and plants with enhanced cold tolerance and cold vigor. The disclosure also provides methods of producing these transgenic plants and seeds. The present disclosure further provides methods of producing crops that can be grown under sub-optimum conditions and methods of increasing the yield of crop plants by extending growing season of a plant by earlier planting of transgenic seeds of the invention under sub-optimum growth conditions.
