Abstract:
This invention relates to a nucleic acid fragment encoding a plant 5-methyltetra-hydropteroyltriglutamate-homocysteine methyltransferase or methionine synthase. The invention also includes chimeric genes, a first encoding a plant methionine synthase (MS) gene, a second encoding a plant cystathionine γ-synthase (CS) gene, a third encoding feedback-insensitive aspartokinase (AK) or bifunctional feedback-insensitive aspartokinase-homoserine dehydrogenase (AK-HDH), which is operably linked to a plant chloroplast transit sequence, and a fourth encoding a methionine-rich protein, all operably linked to plant seed-specific regulatory sequences. Methods for their use to produce increased levels of methionine in the seeds of transformed plants are provided.

International Classification:
C12Q 168, G01N 3348, G01N 33566, C12P 1934
US Classification:
435 6
Abstract:
A process is provided for detecting polymorphisms on the basis of nucleotide differences in random segments of the nucleic acid by performing a primer extension reaction on the nucleic acids and comparing the extension reaction products. The random nucleic acid segment can be amplified by first dissociating the extension product from the template and contacting the dissociated extension product with a primer under conditions such that an amplification extension product is synthesized using the dissociated extension product as a template. Differences in the extension product are useful as markers in constructing genetic maps and as markers to distinguish or identify individuals.
