The present disclosure relates to the field of plant molecular biology, more particularly to regulation of gene expression in plants.

The invention relates to molecules for controlling plant growth and development. Specifically, the invention relates to molecules comprising a gibberellin activator or a gibberellin inhibitor operably linked to a promoter specific to a lateral organ primordium. The invention also relates to transgenic plants having the transgenic molecules and methods for making such transgenic plants.

This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a promoter from a GmPSID2 gene. Some embodiments relate to a promoter or a 5′ UTR from a GmPSID2 gene that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Other embodiments relate to a 3′ UTR or a terminator from a GmPSID2 gene that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.

The present invention relates to transgenic plants with vascular xylem tissue-targeting overexpression of tissue factors involved in vascular xylem cell development.

This disclosure concerns the use of endogenous plant RNAi machinery to preferentially or specifically reduce transgene expression. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns specific reduction of transgene expression in seed tissues of a dicot plant.

The present disclosure provides modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants that are semi-dwarf and have one or more improved ear traits relative to a control plant, such as increase in ear area, increased single kernel weight, increased ear fresh weight, increased number of florets, and mitigated flowering delay. The modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants comprise a transgene encoding one or more CONSTANS (CO) or CONSTANS-like (COL) polypeptide and have a reduced expression of one or more GA20 or GA3 oxidase genes. Also provided are methods for producing the modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants.

The present technology provides terpene synthase (TPS) promoters and TPS promoter consensus sequences from Cannabis, nucleotide sequences of the TPS promoters and consensus sequences, and uses of the promoters and consensus sequences for modulating the production of terpenes and other compounds in organisms The present technology also provides chimeric genes, vectors, and transgenic cells and organisms, including plant cells and plants, comprising the TPS promoters and consensus sequences. Also provided are methods for expressing nucleic acid sequences in cells and organisms using the TPS promoters and consensus sequences.

The present invention is directed to promoters that have particular utility in driving root-specific expression of heterologous genes that impart increased agronomic, horticultural and/or pesticidal characteristics to a given transgenic plant. The present invention is also drawn to DNA molecules comprising the promoters of the invention and transformed plant tissues containing DNA molecules comprising a promoter of the invention operably linked to a heterologous gene or genes, and seeds thereof.

The present technology provides trichome specific promoters of cannabinoid biosynthesis enzyme genes from Cannabis, nucleotide sequences of the trichome specific promoters, and uses of the promoters for modulating the production of cannabinoids and other compounds in organisms. The present technology also provides chimeric genes, vectors, and transgenic cells and organisms, including plant cells and plants, comprising the trichome specific promoters. Also provided are methods for expressing nucleic acid sequences in cells and organisms using the trichome specific promoters.

This disclosure concerns the use of endogenous plant RNAi machinery to preferentially or specifically reduce transgene expression. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns specific reduction of transgene expression in seed tissues of a dicot plant.
