    • The invention concerns the location and characterization of a gene (designated NIM1) that is a key component of the SAR pathway and that in connection with chemical and biological inducers enables induction of SAR gene expression and broad spectrum disease resistance in plants. The NIM1 gene product is a structural homologue of the mammalian signal transduction factor I kappa B subclass alpha . The present invention exploits this discovery to provide altered forms of NIM1 that act as dominant-negative regulators of the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signal transduction pathway. These altered forms of NIM1 confer the opposite phenotype as the nim1 mutant in plants transformed with the altered forms of NIM1, i.e. the transgenic plants exhibit constitutive SAR gene expression and a constitutive immunity (CIM) phenotype. The invention further concerns transformation vectors and processes for overexpressing the NIM1 gene in plants. The transgenic plants thus created have broad spectrum disease resistance. The present invention further concerns DNA molecules encoding altered forms of the NIM1 gene, expression vectors containing such DNA molecules, and plants and plant cells transformed therewith. The invention further concerns transformation vectors and processes for overexpressing the NIM1 gene in plants. Disclosed are vectors and processes for producing overexpression of the NIM1 gene in plants. The invention also concerns methods of activating SAR in plants and conferring to plants a CIM phenotype and broad spectrum disease resistance by transforming the plants with DNA molecules encoding altered forms of the NIM1 gene product.

    • The nucleic acid sequence of the full-length, chemically inducible Arabidopsis PR-1 promoter has been discovered and is disclosed herein. Furthermore, cis-acting regulatory elements in the Arabidopsis PR-1 promoter involved in chemical induction have been characterized using deletion and linker-scanning mutagenesis and in vivo footprinting. It has been discovered that at least a portion of the region of promoter between positions -698 and -621 (relative to the transcription start site of the PR-1 gene) is required for induction of gene expression by chemicals. Two 10-bp linker-scanning mutations centered at 640-bp and 610-bp upstream from the transcription start site abolish the inducibility of the promoter while another 10-bp mutation centered at -670 bp results in average induced expression levels 4-fold higher than the unmutated promoter. Additionally, inducible in vivo footprints are located at positions -629 and -628 and at position -604 on the coding strand and at position -641 on the non-coding strand. The use of chemically inducible Arabidopsis PR-1 promoter fragments to regulate gene expression in plants in the presence of inducing chemicals such as SA, INA, and BTH is disclosed, as well as the use of these elements for the isolation of transcriptional regulatory proteins involved in the promoter regulation and for the construction of inducible hybrid promoters.

    • The invention provides novel methods of controlling gene expression in plastids, using an inducible, transactivator-mediated system, and plants comprising the novel expression systems. The present invention further describes the production of cellulose-degrading enzymes in plants via the application of genetic engineering techniques. Cellulase coding sequences are fused to promoters active in plants and transformed into the nuclear genome and the chloroplast genome. As cellulases may be toxic to plants, preferred promoters are those that are chemically-inducible. In this manner, expression of the cellulase genes transformed into plants may be chemically induced at an appropriate time. In addition, the expressed cellulases may be targeted to vacuoles or other organelles to alleviate toxicity problems. The present invention finds utility in any industrial process requiring a plentiful supply of cellulases, but particularly finds utility in the conversion of cellulosic biomass to ethanol.
    • 本发明提供了使用诱导型反式激活因子介导的系统以及包含新型表达系统的植物来控制质体中基因表达的新方法。 本发明进一步描述了通过应用基因工程技术在植物中生产纤维素降解酶。 纤维素酶编码序列与在植物中有活性的启动子融合,并转化到核基因组和叶绿体基因组中。 由于纤维素酶对植物有毒性,优选的启动子是化学诱导型的启动子。 以这种方式,可以在适当的时间化学诱导转化到植物中的纤维素酶基因的表达。 此外,表达的纤维素酶可以靶向液泡或其他细胞器以减轻毒性问题。 本发明可用于需要大量供应纤维素酶的任何工业过程中,特别是在纤维素生物质转化为乙醇方面具有实用价值。
