An isolated sucrose synthase peptide. Also, a method of preparing ADPglucose by incubating the isolated sucrose synthase peptide with ADP in suitable conditions and then isolating and purifying the ADPG produced. Also, an assay kit for the spectrophotometric, fluorimetric or amperometric determination of sucrose, which kit includes the isolated sucrose synthase peptide. Also, a method of producing a transgenic plant that overexpresses sucrose synthase by inserting a genetic construct containing a DNA fragment that encodes the sucrose synthase peptide into a vector and transferring to a plant genome, and a transgenic plant obtained thereby.

Embodiments of the present invention provide for a transgenic plan, methods of making and DNA constructs for use in the transgenic plant which transgenic plant is capable of modulating its photosynthetic antenna complex composition in response to increases or decreases in light intensity by modulation of the ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b such that there is an increase in the Chl a/b ratio at high light intensity and a decrease in the Chl a/b ratio at low light intensity versus wild-type plants grown in the same conditions.

The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of sweet corn line SHY-6RLAL196, including the seed, pod, and gametes of such plants.

The invention provides seed and plants of sweet corn hybrid SV7538SK and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of sweet corn hybrid SV7538SK and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a sweet corn plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another sweet corn plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the parts of such plants.

Genetic constructs capable of manipulating fructan biosynthesis in photosynthetic cells of a plant, said genetic constructs include a promoter operatively linked to a nucleic acid encoding a bacterial FT enzyme. These constructs can be used in modification of fructan biosynthesis in plants and, more particularly, for manipulating fructan biosynthesis in photosynthetic cells. The constructs can also be used for increasing plant biomass and, more particularly, for enhancing biomass yield and/or yield stability, including shoot and/or root growth in a plant, and for enhancing the productivity of biochemical pathways.

The present invention relates to the production of steviol glycoside rebaudiosides D4, WB1 and WB2 and the production of rebaudioside M from Reb D4.

A novel maize variety designated PH2T5B and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant comprise crossing maize variety PH2T5B with another maize plant are provided.
