Methods and compositions for amplifying DNA clone copy number

A method for retrofitting DNA in a single-copy or high-copy vector, such as a fosmid or BAC, whereby an artificial transposon is used to introduce a conditional multi-copy origin of replication (“ori”) into the DNA in said vector. Following random in vitro or in vivo transposition of the ori-containing transposon into DNA in the single-copy or low-copy vector, the resulting insertion clones are introduced into a special host strain that contains a gene which encodes a polypeptide required for replication from the multi-copy ori. However, since the gene for this polypeptide is expressed from a tightly-regulated inducible promoter, the polypeptide is not expressed in the absence of inducer. On addition of inducer to the culture medium, the host cell synthesizes the polypeptide, which in turn activates replication from the multi-copy ori, thereby increasing the amount of clone DNA synthesized by the cell.

Disease-inducible promoters

Disease-inducible promoter sequences have been identified that may be used to produce transgenic plants that are both more resistant to disease than control plants, and are wild-type or nearly wild type in appearance. Any of these disease-inducible promoters may be incorporated into expression vectors that each comprise a defense response protein operably linked to the promoter. The expression vectors can be introduced into plants and the defense response protein then ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these expression vectors have been shown to be more resistant to disease, in some cases, to more than one type of pathogen, and yet are similar to wild type plants in their morphology and development.

Compositions and methods for the modification of physiological responses in plants

A gene expression system for controllable expression of ethylene response in a plant cell includes an activation cassette comprising a DNA-binding domain that recognizes a response element; an ecdysone receptor ligand binding domain; and an activation domain; and a target cassette comprising an inducible promoter, which comprises, in operative association, the response element and a minimal promoter responsive to the activation domain.

Interaction among the components of the activation cassette and target cassette, when in a plant cell, in the presence of an inducing composition, modulates expression of the selected protein and selectively modulates ethylene sensitivity in the plant cell. This modulation in the expression of the protein is controlled by the timing, the concentration and the duration of the application of the inducing composition. Transgenic plant cells, tissues, organs and entire plants are provided, which in the presence of the inducing composition control ethylene sensitivity. Ethylene sensitivity and / or ethylene production in such transgenic plants and tissues may be controlled for purposes of manipulating ripening, flower senescence and other ethylene sensitive functions of the plant.
