The invention provides seed and plants of the sweet corn line designated SYW-6SSLM804. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of sweet corn line SYW-6SSLM804, and to methods for producing a sweet corn plant produced by crossing a plant of sweet corn line SYW-6SSLM804 with itself or with another sweet corn plant, such as a plant of another line. 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 SYW-6SSLM804, including the seed, pod, and gametes of such plants.

Compositions and methods are provided for genome modification of a target sequence in the genome of a plant or plant cell. The methods and compositions employ a guide RNA/Cas endonuclease system to provide an effective system for modifying or altering target sites within the genome of a plant, plant cell or seed. Also provided are compositions and methods employing a guide polynucleotide/Cas endonuclease system for genome modification of a nucleotide sequence in the genome of a cell or organism, for gene editing, and/or for inserting or deleting a polynucleotide of interest into or from the genome of a cell or organism. Once a genomic target site is identified, a variety of methods can be employed to further modify the target sites such that they contain a variety of polynucleotides of interest. Breeding methods and methods for selecting plants utilizing a two component RNA guide and Cas endonuclease system are also disclosed. Compositions and methods are also provided for editing a nucleotide sequence in the genome of a cell.

The present invention provides isolated FAD2, FAD3, FAB1 and FAE1 genes and FAD2, FAD3, FAB1 and FAE1 protein sequences of Camelina species, e.g., Camelina sativa, mutations in Camelina FAD2, FAD3, FAB1 and FAE1 genes, and methods of using the same. In addition, methods of altering Camelina seed composition and/or improving Camelina seed oil quality are disclosed. Furthermore, methods of breeding Camelina cultivars to produce plants having altered or improved seed oil and/or meal quality are provided.

Improved methods and means are provided to modify in a targeted manner the genome of a plant cell or plant at a predefined site via bacterial transformation.

This invention relates to methods of controlling gene expression or gene suppression in eukaryotic cells. One aspect of this invention includes modifying the degree of silencing of a target gene by use of a modified suppression element. Another aspect includes providing a eukaryotic cell having a desired phenotype resulting from transcription in the eukaryotic cell of a modified suppression element. Also provided are transgenic eukaryotic cells, transgenic plant cells, plants, and seeds containing modified suppression elements, and useful derivatives of such transgenic plant cells, plants, or seeds, such as food or feed products.

The present invention relates to genetically modified cells that are capable of optimal transgene expression by co-expressing a silencing suppressor whilst at the same time are also capable of silencing a gene, such as a naturally occurring gene of the cell. The present invention also relates to methods of producing the modified cells, as well as relates to processes for obtaining a genetically modified cell with a desired property.

A series of independent human-induced non-transgenic mutations found at one or more of the Lpx genes of wheat; wheat plants having these mutations in one or more of their Lpx genes; and a method of creating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of Lpx by screening pooled and/or individual wheat plants. The wheat plants disclosed herein exhibit decreased lipoxygenase activity without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes. Additionally, products produced from the wheat plants disclosed herein display increased oxidative stability and increased shelf life without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.

The disclosure relates to compositions and methods for increasing oil content of the vegetative tissues of plants. The compositions comprise polynucleotides encoding phospholipase A1 (PLA1) polypeptides and plants, plant parts, plant cells, and seeds comprising such polynucleotides. The methods for increasing oil content of the vegetative tissues of plants comprise introducing a polynucleotide encoding PLA1 polypeptides into the plant. Expression of these PLA1 polynucleotides result in a large accumulation of triacyl glycerides or neutral lipids in vegetative tissues such as leaves that normally contain very little amount of such oil.

Provided are isolated polynucleotides and nucleic acid constructs which comprise a nucleic acid sequence at least 80% identical to a nucleic acid sequence selected form the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 277, 1-276, 278-469 and 785-2397; and isolated polypeptides which comprise an amino acid sequence at least 80% homologous to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 482, 470-481, 483-784 and 2398-3818. Also provided are transgenic cells and plants expressing same and methods of using same for increasing nitrogen use efficiency, yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, and/or abiotic stress tolerance of a plant.

The present invention relates to extracted plant lipid or microbial lipid comprising docosapentaenoic acid, and processes for producing the extracted lipid.
