Gene-edited soybean plants, plant parts, and plant cells that have a reduced isoflavone content compared to the corresponding unaltered soybean plant, plant part, or plant cell and methods of their production are disclosed. For example, introducing one or more mutations in the coding region of Myb29 gene, the MYBCORE binding motif of the IFS2 promoter, the MYBCORE binding motif of the IFS1 promoter, the coding region of the IFS2 gene, the coding region of the IFS1 gene, or a combination thereof is used to produce the gene-edited plant, plant part or plant cell via targeted genome modification.

Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of a biological and biochemical production of piperazic acid derived from the newly discovered production pathway for L-piperazic acid. One aspect of the present disclosure includes a transgenic microorganism (e.g., bacteria) engineered to accumulate piperazic acid and derivatives thereof, including a piperazic acid (Piz)-containing product. Another aspect of the present disclosure includes biochemical and biological methods for producing piperazic acid and derivatives thereof, including a piperazic acid (Piz)-containing product. Another aspect of the present disclosure includes compositions and methods of using isotopically labeled piperazic acid and derivatives thereof, including a piperazic acid (Piz)-containing product.

The present disclosure relates to a plant or plant part comprising a polynucleotide encoding a CYP81E polypeptide, the expression of the polynucleotide confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to synthetic auxin herbicides, such as 2,4-D. The disclosure further provides kits for identifying herbicide resistant plants and methods for determining whether a plant is herbicide resistant.

The present disclosure provides a transgenic plant comprising one or more nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides selected from photosystem II subunit S (PsbS), zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP), and violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE), operably linked to at least one expression control sequence. Expression vectors for making transgenic plants, and methods for increasing biomass production and/or carbon fixation and/or growth in a plant comprising increasing expression of at least one of PsbS, ZEP and VDE polypeptides are also provided.

Provided are novel flavone hydroxylases, a microorganism for synthesizing flavone C-glycoside compounds, and use thereof. The present inventor obtains novel flavones hydroxylates PhF2H and PhF3′H by cloning, which belong to cytochrome P450 hydroxylates and have the function of hydroxylating specific positions of compounds. Further, the present inventor, by modifying the enzymes and combining a C-glycoside glycosyltransferase and assembly of a synthesis pathway of a flavone precursor, efficiently synthesizes flavone C-glycoside compounds such as oriention, isooriention, vitexin and isovitexin, and related intermediates such as eriodictyol and 2-hydroxynaringenin in the synthesis pathway thereof in an artificial recombinant expression system.

The present invention relates to a fusion protein in which a target protein and an Oct-1 protein-containing protein tag are linked, an expression structure comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding same, a recombinant vector including same, and a transformed cell including same.

Described herein are devices and methods for using the same to produce carotenoids. The carotenoids produced by the devices and methods disclosed herein do not require the ultra purification that is common in conventional or commercial methods. The devices and methods disclosed herein also enhance one or more physical properties of plants treated with the devices described herein.

The invention is directed to methods involved in the production of flavonoids, anthocyanins and other organic compounds. The invention provides cells engineered for the production of flavonoids, anthocyanins and other organic compounds, where the engineered cells include one or more genetic modifications that increase flavonoid production by increasing metabolic flux to flavonoid precursors and/or reducing carbon losses resulting from the production of byproducts.

The invention relates to recombinant microorganisms and methods for producing steviol glycosides and steviol glycoside precursors.

This disclosure relates to plants having a modified F5H gene which confers the trait of reduced wound-induced surface discoloration. The disclosure further relates to all progeny, seed, and plant parts of said plant. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a propagation material suitable for producing said plants, and to methods for selecting and producing said plants.
