DNA ENCODING PLANT DEOXYHYPUSINE SYNTHASE, PLANT EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR 5A, TRANSGENIC PLANT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SENESCENCE AND PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH IN PLANT
<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DNA encoding a plant deoxyhypusine synthase, a transgenic plant and a method for controlling senescence and programmed cell death in plant. ??<P>SOLUTION: Regulation of expression of programmed cell death, including senescence, in plants is achieved by integration of a gene or gene fragment encoding senescence-induced deoxyhypusine synthase into the plant genome in antisense orientation. Plant genes encoding senescence-induced deoxyhypusine synthase are identified and the nucleotide sequences alone are used to modify senescence in transgenic plants. ??<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT ??
