FIELD AND HISTORY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention, in some of its configurations, concerns polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, transgenic plants expressing the same and methods of producing and using them and, more particularly, but not exclusively, methods of increasing the oil content, seed yield, growth rate, biomass and / or the yield of a plant.
Seed or vegetable oils are the main source of energy and nutrition in the human and animal diet. They are also used for the production of industrial products, such as paints and lubricants. In addition, vegetable oils represent renewable sources of long-chain hydrocarbons, which can be used as fuel. Since the fossil fuels currently used are finite sources and are being gradually depleted, fast-growing biomass crops can be used as alternative fuels or can be used as alternative fuels or for energy raw materials and can reduce dependence on energy resources. fossil energy. However, the main limiter to increase consumption
2/119 of vegetable oils as bio-fuel is the price of oil, which is, however, higher than fossil fuel [http: //www.eia. donate. gov / oiaf / analysispaper / biodiesel /; Http://www.njbiz.com/weekly_article.asp?aID=19755147.6122555 .957931.7393254.4337383.561 & aID2 = 73678]. Furthermore, the rate of vegetable oil production is limited by the availability of land for planting and water. Thus, increasing the yield of vegetable oil from the same cultivation area can effectively overcome the lack of production space and can decrease the prices of vegetable oil at the same time.
Studies aimed at increasing vegetable oil yields focus on the identification of genes involved in oil metabolism, as well as on genes capable of increasing plant and seed yields in transgenic plants.
The genes known to be involved in increasing vegetable oil yields include those that participate in fatty acid synthesis or sequestration such as desaturase [eg, DELTA6, DELTA12 or acyl-ACP (Ssi2; Arabidopsis Information Source (TAIR; Http: // World Wide Web (dot) arabidopsis (dot) org /), TAIR No. AT2G43710)], OleosinA (TAIR No. AT3G01570) or FAD3 (TAIR No. AT2G29980) and various transcription factors and activators, such as Lecl [ TAIR No. AT1G21970, Lotan et al. 1998.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC SETTINGS OF THE INVENTION
The present invention, in some of its configurations, concerns isolated polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding them and, more particularly, but not exclusively, methods of using them to increase oil content, growth rate, yield , biomass and / or the vigor of a plant.
Before explaining at least one configuration of the invention in detail, it should be understood that the invention is not necessarily limited in its application - to the details presented in the following description or exemplified by the Examples. The invention is capable of other configurations or to be practiced or carried out in various forms.
By reducing the present invention to practice, the present inventors have identified new polypeptides and polynucleotides that can be used to increase the oil content, seed yield, growth rate, biomass, yield and / or vigor of a plant .
Thus, as shown in the Examples section that follows, the present inventors employed a bio-informatics approach, which compares
10/119 the pattern of expression of genes derived from Arabidopsis in 79 tissues or stages of development to the pattern of oil hook genes (OHGs) that are known to play a role in embryogenesis, seed development and oil synthesis and accumulation, and identified genes that exhibited significant correlation (Table 1, Example 1). In addition, using an oligonucleotide microvanscan, the present inventors determined the expression profile of genes identified in the tissues and stages of development of various Arabidopsis ecotypes (Table 3; Example 2) and correlated the expression profile with selected yield parameters or related vigor (Tables 4, 5 and 6; Example 2). Genes were identified showing a significant correlation between expression profile and the parameters of yield or vigor of ecotypes (Table 7; Example 2). Of these, it was found that several genes modulate seed yield (Table 8), oil yield (Table 9), growth rate (Table 10), organ shape / size / length (Table 11), harvest index (Table 12), the oil content per seed (Table 13), the dry matter of the plant (Table 14) and the number of seeds per silica (Table 15). Through the use of bio-informatics tools, additional genes were identified, which were expected to increase the oil content, seed yield, growth rate, yield and / or biomass of a plant (Table 2, Example 1 ). Furthermore, polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding the same ones, which are the
11/119 homologues to the polypeptides predicted in Tables 1 and 2 (Table 18, Example 5). Further, as described in Examples 3, 4 and 6 of the Examples section below, transgenic plants expressing the identified polynucleotides show an increased yield of seeds, oil, dry matter, harvest index, growth rate, rosette area, percentage of oil in the seed and weight of 1000 seeds (Tables 19-55; Example 6). In addition, transgenic plants expressing the polynucleotides of the invention showed an increased oil content compared to control plants (Figure 3, Example 7). Altogether, these results suggest the use of the new polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention to increase the oil content, yield (including seed yield), growth rate, biomass, and / or the vigor of a plant.
It should be noted that, since the oil content is affected by the production of intrinsic oil, or by the mass / size of the oil-producing tissue per plant / by growth period, any gene that affects these processes mentioned above is contemplated, according to the teachings of the present invention.
Thus, according to an aspect of the invention, a method of increasing the oil content, yield, growth rate, biomass and / or the vigor of a plant is provided. The method is carried out by introducing into the plant an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide
12/119 comprising an amino acid sequence - at least 90% homologous to the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 166-221, 229-307, 311-330,
351-353, 355-361, 363-364, 366-368, 218, 222-228, 308-310,
350, 354, 362, 365, 523-649, 786-920, 1047 and 1048.
The phrase oil content as used here refers to the amount of lipids in the organ of a given plant, whether they are the seeds (seed oil content) or the plant's vegetative portion (vegetative oil content) and typically expressed as a percentage dry weight (10% of seed moisture) or wet weight (for the vegetative portion).
As mentioned, in one configuration, the increase in the oil content of the plant can be achieved by increasing the size / mass of the tissue (s) of a plant, which comprises oil per growth period. Thus, the increased oil content of a plant can be achieved by increasing the yield, the growth rate, the biomass and the vigor of the plant.
As used here, the phrase plant yield refers to the volume (as established by weight / size) or quantity (number) of tissue (eg, seed, called seed yield and vegetative portion) produced per plant or season. cultivation. Therefore, the increased yield could affect the economic benefit that can be extracted from the plant in a certain growing area and / or growing season.
13/119
As used here, the phrase plant biomass refers to the amount (measured in grams of air-dried tissue) of tissue produced from the plant in a growing season, which could also determine or affect the yield of the plant or the yield per planting area.
As used here, the phrase plant vigor refers to the amount (measured by weight) of tissue produced by the plant at any given time. Therefore, increased vigor could determine or affect plant yield or yield by area of cultivation and / or growing season.
As used here, the term increase refers to an increase of at least about 2%, at least about 3%, at least about 4%, at least about 5%, at least about 10%, over at least about 15%, at least about 20%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80% in the oil content of the plant, seed yield (seed yield per plant and / or seed yield per growing area), plant yield, growth rate, biomass, and / or vigor compared to a native plant [eg, a non modified with the biomolecules (polynucleotide or polypeptides) of the invention, (eg, an unprocessed plant of the same species, which is grown under the same growing conditions).
14/119
As used here, the phrase exogenous polynucleotide refers to a heterological nucleic acid sequence, which may not be expressed naturally within the plant, or whose overexpression in the plant is desired. The exogenous polynucleotide can be introduced into the plant in a stable or transient way, in order to produce a molecule of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and / or a polypeptide molecule. It should be noted that the exogenous polynucleotide may comprise a nucleic acid sequence, which is identical - or partially homologous - to an endogenous plant nucleic acid sequence.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the exogenous polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 81%, at least about 82%, at least about 83%, at least about 84%, at least

Homology (e.g. , homology percentage) can be determined using any homology comparison software including, for example, the BLASTP or TBLASTN software from the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI), either by using default parameters, when starting from a polypeptide sequence; or the tBLASTX algorithm (available via NCBI) either by using default parameters, which compares the products of the conceptual translation of six structures of a reference nucleotide sequence (both strands) with a database of the protein sequence .
Homologous sequences include both orthological and paralogical sequences. The term paralogical refers to the duplication of genes within the genome of a species leading to paralogical genes. The term orthologist refers to homologous genes in different organisms due to an ancestral relationship.
An option to identify orthologists in the monocotyledonous plant species is to perform a reciprocal BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) search. This can be done through a first BLAST involving the search for the sequence of interest in comparison to any sequence database, such as the publicly available NCBI database, which can be found at: Http: // World Wide Web ( dot) ncbi (dot) nlm (dot) nih (dot) gov. If orthologists were sought
16/119 sequences filtered in rice, the sequence of interest would be searched in comparison to, for example, the 28,469 full-length cDNA clones of Oryza Sativa Nipponbare available at NCBI. BLAST results can be filtered. The full-length ones - both from results and unfiltered results - are searched back (sequel BLAST) compared to the sequences of the organism from which the sequence of interest is derived. The results of the first and second BLAST are compared below. An orthologist is identified when the sequence that results in the highest score (best hit) in the first BLAST identifies, in the second BLAST, the reference sequence (the original sequence of interest) as the best hit. A parallel is found (homologous to a gene in the same organism) using the same rationale. In the case of families of long strings, the ClustalW program can be used [Http: // World Wide Web (dot) ebi (dot) ac (dot) uk / Tools / clustalw2 / index (dot) html], followed by a tree neighbor-joining (Http: // en (dot) wikipedia (dot) org / wiki / Neighbor-joining), which helps to visualize the cluster.
According to some configurations of the invention, exogenous polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 166-221, 229-307, 311-330, 351353, 355-361, 363-364, 366-368, 218, 222-228, 308-310, 350,
354, 362, 365, 523-649, 786-920, 1047 and 1048.
Of configurations of the invention, the agreement with some exogenous polynucleotide
17/119 comprises a nucleic acid sequence that is at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 81%, at least about 82%, at least about 83%, at least about 84%, at least about 85%, at least about 86%, at least about 87%, at least about 88 %, at least about 89%, at least about 90%, at least about 91%, at least about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%, at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, for , 100% identical to the nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-52, 54-56, 64165, 332-334, 336-342, 344-345, 347-349, 53, 57-63, 143-145, 331, 335, 343, 346, 369-522, 650-785, 1016-1046.
Identity (eg, homology percentage) can be determined using any homology comparison software including, for example, the BLASTN software from the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) which is using default parameters.
According to some configurations of the invention, the exogenous polynucleotide is presented by SEQ ID NOs: 1-52, 54-56, 64-165, 332-334, 336-342, 344-345, 347-349, 53, 57- 63, 143-145, 331, 335, 343, 346, 369-522, 650-785, 1016-1046.
As used here, the term polynucleotide refers to a sequence of acid
18/119 nucleic, single or double stranded, which is isolated and provided in the form of an RNA Sequence, a complementary polynucleotide sequence (cDNA), a genomic polynucleotide sequence and / or a compound of polynucleotide sequences (for a combination of the above).
As used herein, the phrase complementary polynucleotide sequence refers to a sequence, which results from the reverse transcription of messenger RNA using a reverse transcriptase or any other RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. Subsequently, such a sequence can be amplified in vivo or in vitro DNA dependent DNA polymerase.
As used here, the phrase genomic polynucleotide sequence refers to a sequence derived (isolated) from a chromosome and thus represents a contiguous portion of a chromosome.
As used here, the phrase composed of polynucleotide sequences refers to a sequence, which is, at least partially, complementary and, at least partially, genomic. A sequence compound can include some exon sequences

<td>interpose</td><td>there .</td><td>At</td><td>intronic sequences can</td><td>come over</td><td>in</td>
any source, including other genes, and will typically include conserved splicing signal sequences. Such
19/119 intronic sequences can also include regulatory elements of cis active expression.
The nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptides of the present invention can be optimized for expression. Non-limiting examples of optimized nucleic acid optimized sequences are given in SEQ ID NOs: 1040, 1041, 1042, 1043, 1044, 1045 and 1046 which encode polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequences presented by SEQ ID NOs: 167, 169, 1047, 181, 185, 189 and 196, respectively. Examples of such sequence modifications include, but are not limited to, an altered G / C content to more closely address what is typically found in the plant species of interest, and the removal of the codons found atypically in the plant species - commonly called codon optimization.
The phrase codon optimization refers to the selection of DNA nucleotides appropriate for use within a structural gene or fragment there that addresses the use of codons within the plant of interest. Therefore, an optimized nucleic acid gene or sequence refers to a gene in which the nucleotide sequences of a native gene - or that occurs naturally - have been modified to use statistically - or statistically favored - preferred codons within the plant. Nucleotide sequences are typically examined at the DNA level and the coding region is optimized for expression in the given plant species
20/119 using any suitable procedure, for example, as described in Sardana et al. (1996, Plant Cell
Reports 15: 677-681). In this method, the standard deviation of codon usage, a measure of the trend in codon usage, can be calculated by finding, first, the square proportional deviation of the use of each codon of the native gene relative to that of highly expressed plant genes , followed by a calculation of the mean squared deviation. The formula used is: 1 SDCU = η = 1 N [(Xn - Yn) / Yn] 2 / N, where Xn refers to the frequency of use of codon n in highly expressed plant genes, where Yn refers to the frequency of use of codon n in the gene of interest, and N refers to the total number of codons in the gene of interest. A codon usage table for highly expressed genes from dicotyledonous plants is compiled using data from Murray et al. (1989, Nuc Acids Res. 17: 477498).
One method of optimizing the nucleic acid sequence according to the preferred codon usage for a particular plant cell type, without performing any extra statistical calculations, is based on the direct use of codon optimization tables such as those are made available online at the Codon Usage Database through the DNA bank of NIAS (National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences) in Japan (http://www.kazusa.or.jp/c0don/ ). The Codon Use Database contains codon usage tables for a number of different species,
21/119 particular nucleotide of occurrence use of each codon having been determined statistically based on the data present in Genbank.
By using the Tables above to determine the most preferred - or most favored codons - for each amino acid in a species in (for example, rice), a natural sequence, which encodes a protein of interest, can be optimized for codons for that particular plant species. This is done by replacing codons that may have a low statistical incidence in the genome of the particular species with corresponding codons that are statistically more favored, with respect to an amino acid. However, one or more less favored codons can be chosen to delete existing restriction sites, in order to create new locations at potentially useful junctions (5 'and 3' terminals to add signal peptide or termination cassettes, internal sites that can be used to cut and join segments so that a correct full-length sequence is produced), or to eliminate nucleotide sequences that can negatively affect stability or mRNA expression.
Naturally occurring nucleotide coding sequences can already contain, before any modification, a number of codons that correspond to a statistically favored codon in a particular plant species. Therefore, codon optimization of native nucleotide sequences can comprise the
22/119 determining which codons, within the native nucleotide sequence, are not statistically favored with respect to a particular plant, and modifying these codons according to a codon usage table for a particular plant to produce a codon-optimized derivative. A modified nucleotide sequence can be totally or partially optimized for codon use in the plant, provided that the protein encoded by the modified nucleotide sequences is produced at a higher level than the protein encoded by the native or naturally occurring gene. The construction of synthetic genes by altering the

embodiments of the invention, expression of the polynucleotide of the invention results in downward regulation of the activity or level of expression of the corresponding endogenous polypeptide (e.g., homologous).
According to some embodiments of the invention, the exogenous polynucleotide is used for the co-suppression or sense suppression of an endogenous polypeptide. In this way, introducing the exogenous polynucleotide into plant cells results in the transcription of an RNA molecule (in the sense orientation in relation to the corresponding endogenous gene), which suppresses the translation of the corresponding endogenous RNA molecule, as described in the Patent USA No. 5,231,020 for Jorgensen, which is incorporated here, in full, by
11/23 reference. For co-suppression, the exogenous polynucleotide does not require the entire nucleic acid sequence of the corresponding endogenous gene, nor does it require that the introduced sequence be exactly identical to the endogenous gene.

The nucleic acid construct of some embodiments of the invention can later include an appropriate selective marker and / or an origin of replication. According to some configurations of the invention, the nucleic acid construct used is a bridge vector, which can propagate both in E. coli (where the construct comprises an appropriate selective marker and origin of replication) and be compatible with cell propagation. . The construction according to the present invention can be, for example, a plasmid, a bacmid, a phagemid, cosmid, phage, a virus or an artificial chromosome.
The nucleic acid construct of some configurations of the invention can be used to transform plant cells stably or transiently.

The Agrobacterium system includes the use of plasmid vectors that contain defined DNA segments that it integrates into plant genomic DNA. Plant tissue inoculation methods vary depending on the plant species and the Agrobacterium delivery system. A widely used approach is the leaf disc procedure that can be performed with any tissue explant that provides a good source for initiating complete plant differentiation. See, for example, Horsch and others in Plant Molecular Biology Manual A5, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht (1988) p. 1-9. A supplementary approach employs the Agrobacterium delivery system in combination with vacuum infiltration. The Agrobacterium system is especially viable in the creation of transgenic dicot plants.
There are several methods of direct DNA transfer in plant cells. In electroporation, protoplasts are briefly exposed to a strong electric field. In microinjection, DNA is mechanically injected directly into cells using small micropipettes. In the bombardment of microparticles, DNA is absorbed into microprojectiles like magnesium sulfate crystals or tungsten particles, and microprojectiles are physically accelerated in plant cells or tissues.

The next stable plant propagation transformation is carried out. The most common method of plant propagation is through seed. Regeneration by seed propagation, however, has the deficiency that due to heterozygosity, there is a lack of uniformity in the harvest, since seeds are produced by plants according to the genetic variations dominated by Mendelian rules. Basically, each seed is genetically different and each will grow with its own specific traits. Therefore, it is preferable that the transformed plant is produced in such a way that the regenerated plant has the same traits and characteristics as the transgenic mother plant. Therefore, it is preferable that the transformed plant is regenerated by micropropagation that provides rapid and consistent reproduction of the transformed plants.
Micropropagation is a process of growing new plants that generate a single fragment of tissue that has been taken from a selected parent plant or cultivars. This process allows the mass reproduction of plants with the preferred tissue by removing the fusion protein. The generating plants that are produced are genetically identical to, and have all the characteristics of, the original plant. Micropropagation allows mass production of quality plant material in a short period of time and offers a rapid multiplication of cultivars selected to preserve characteristics of the original transgenic or transformed plant. The advantages of cloning
35/119 plants are the speed of plant multiplication and the quality and uniformity of plants produced.
Micropropagation is a multi-step procedure that requires alteration of culture media or growth conditions between stages. Thus, the micropropagation process involves four basic stages: Stage one, initial tissue culture; stage two, multiplication of tissue culture; stage three, differentiation and plant formation; and stage four, greenhouse culture and hardening. During stage one, initial tissue culture, the tissue culture is established and certified as free from contaminants. During stage 2, the initial tissue culture is multiplied until a sufficient number of tissue samples are produced to meet production targets. During stage three, the tissue samples grown in stage two are divided and grown on seedlings. In stage four, the transformed seedlings are transferred to a greenhouse for acclimation (hardening) where the tolerance of plants to light is gradually increased so that they can be grown in the natural environment.
According to some configurations of the invention, transgenic plants are generated by transient transformation of leaf cells, meristematic cells or the entire plant.
Transitional transformation can be carried out by any of the transfer methods
36/119 of direct DNA described above or by viral infection using modified plant viruses.
Viruses that have been shown to be useful for transforming plant hosts include CaMV, TMV and BV. The transformation of plants using plant viruses is described in Pat. US No .: 4,855,237 (BGV), EP-A 67,553 (TMV), Japanese Published Application No. 6314693 (TMV), EPA 194,809 (BV), EPA 278,667 (BV); and Gluzman, Y. et al. , Communications in Molecular Biology: Viral Vectors, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, pp. 172-189 (1988). Pseudo-virus particles for use in removing exogenous DNA in various hosts, including plants, are described in WO 87/06261.
According to some configurations of the invention, the virus used for transient transformations is avirulent and thus is unable to cause severe symptoms such as reduced growth rate, mosaic, annular spots, leaf curl, yellowing, stretch marks, swelling, formation of tumor and perforations. A suitable avirulent virus can be a naturally occurring avirulent virus or an artificially attenuated virus. Virus attenuation can be performed using methods well known in the art, including, but not limited to, sublethal heating, chemical treatment or by direct mutagenesis techniques as described, for example, by Kurihara and Watanabe (Molecular Plant Pathology 4: 259 -269, 2003), Gal-on et al. (1992), Atreya et al. (1992) and Huet et al. (1994).
37/119
Suitable strains of viruses can be obtained from available sources such as the American Type culture Collection (ATCC) or by isolating infected plants. Virus isolation from infected plant tissues can be accomplished by techniques well known in the art as described, for example, by Foster and Tatlor, Eds. Plant Virology Protocols: From Virus Isolation to Transgenic Resistance (Methods in Molecular Biology (Humana Pr), Vol 81), Humana Press, 1998. Briefly, tissues from an infected plant that possibly contain a high concentration of a suitable virus, preferably new leaves and flower petals, are sprayed in a buffer solution (for example, phosphate buffer solution) to produce a virus-infected sap that can be used in subsequent inoculations.
The construction of plant RNA viruses for the introduction and removal of non-viral exogenous polynucleotide sequences in plants is demonstrated in the references above, as well as by Dawson, WO et al., Virology (1989) 172: 285-292; Takamatsu et al. EMBO J. (1987) 6: 307-311; French et al. Science (1986) 231: 1294-1297; and
Takamatsu et al. FEBS Letters (1990) 269: 73-76.
When the virus is a DNA virus, appropriate modifications can be made to the virus itself. On the other hand, the virus can first be cloned into a bacterial plasmid to facilitate the construction of the desired viral vector with exogenous DNA. The virus can be removed
38/119 of the plasmid. If the virus is a DNA virus, a bacterial origin of replication can be linked to viral DNA, which is then replicated by the bacteria. The transcription and translation of this DNA will produce the capsid protein that will encapsulate the viral DNA. If the virus is an RNA virus, it is usually cloned as a cDNA and inserted into the plasmid. The plasmid is then used to make all constructions. The RNA virus is then produced by transcribing the viral sequence of the plasmid and the translation of the viral genes to produce the capsid protein (s) that encapsulate the viral RNA.
The construction of plant RNA viruses for the introduction of exogenous polynucleotide sequences such as those included in the construction of the present invention is demonstrated in the references above as well as in Pat. of the USA No .: 5,316,931.
In one embodiment, a plant viral polynucleotide is provided in which the coding sequence of the native capsid protein has been deleted from a viral polynucleotide, a codid sequence of capsid protein from a non-native viral plant and a non-native promoter, preferably the subgenomic promoter the coding sequence of the non-native capsid protein, capable of expression in the plant host, packaging of the recombinant viral polynucleotide of the plant, and guarantee of a systemic infection of the host by the viral recombinant polynucleotide of the plant, was inserted. On the other hand, the capsid protein gene can
39/119 be inactivated by inserting the sequence of non-native polynucleotides into the interior, so that the protein is produced. The plant's viral polynucleotide may contain one or more additional non-native subgenomic promoters. Each non-native subgenomic promoter is able to transcribe or remove adjacent genes or polynucleotide sequences in the plant host and unable to recombine between them and with native subgenomic promoters. Non-native (exogenous) polynucleotide sequences can be inserted adjacent to the plant's native viral subgenomic promoter or to the plant's native and non-native viral subgenomic promoters if more than one polynucleotide sequence is included. The sequences of non-native polynucleotides are transcribed and expressed in the host plant under the control of the subgenomic promoter to produce the desired products.
In a second configuration, a recombinant viral polynucleotide from the plant is provided as in the first configuration, except that the native coding sequence for the capsid protein is located adjacent to one of the non-native subgenomic promoters of the capsid protein rather than a non-native coding sequence of capsid protein.
In a third configuration, a recombinant viral polynucleotide from the plant is provided in which the native gene of the capsid protein is adjacent to the subgenomic promoters and one or more non-native subgenomic promoters have been inserted into the viral polynucleotide. The inserted non-native subgenomic promoters are capable of
40/119 transcribe or remove adjacent genes in a plant host and unable to recombine between them and with native subgenomic promoters. Non-native polynucleotide sequences can be inserted adjacent to non-native subgenomic promoters so that the sequences are transcribed and expressed in the host plant under the control of the subgenomic promoters to produce the desired product.
In a fourth configuration, a recombinant viral polynucleotide from the plant is provided as in the third configuration, except that the native coding sequence for the capsid protein is replaced by a non-native coding sequence for the capsid protein.
Viral vectors are encapsulated by the capsid protein encoded by the plant's recombinant viral polynucleotide to produce a recombinant plant virus. The recombinant plant viral polynucleotide or recombinant plant virus is used to infect appropriate host plants. The plant's recombinant viral polynucleotide is capable of replication in the host, systemic dispersion in the host, and transcription or expression of exogenous gene (s) (exogenous polynucleotides) in the host to produce the desired protein.
Techniques for inoculating plant viruses can be found in Foster and Taylor, Eds. Plant Virology Protocols: From Virus Isolation to Transgenic Resistance (Methods in Molecular Biology (Human

Pr), Vol 81), Humana Press, 1998; Maramorosh and Koprowski, eds.

Principies and Techniques in Plant Virology, Van NostrandReinhold, New York.
In addition to the above, the polynucleotide of the present invention can also be introduced into a chloroplast genome, thus allowing expression of the chloroplast.
A technique for introducing exogenous polynucleotide sequences to the chloroplast genome is known. This technique involves the following procedures. First, plant cells are chemically treated in a way that reduces the number of chloroplasts per cell to approximately one. Then, the exogenous polynucleotide is introduced via particle bombardment into the cells in order to introduce at least one exogenous polynucleotide molecule into the chloroplasts. The selected exogenous polynucleotides are such that they can be integrated into the chloroplast genomes via homologous recombination that is carried out immediately by enzymes inherent to the chloroplast. To this end, the exogenous polynucleotide includes in addition to a gene of interest, at least one stretch of polynucleotide that is derived from the chloroplast genome. In addition, exogenous polynucleotide includes a selectable marker, which serves by selection procedures
42/119 sequence to certify that all or substantially all of the copies of the chloroplast genomes following such a selection will include the exogenous polynucleotide. More details related to these techniques are found in .Pat. From
USA Nos. 4,945,050; and 5,693,507 which are incorporated by reference. A polypeptide can thus be produced by the chloroplast protein expression system and become integrated into the chloroplast inner membrane.
Since the increase in oil content, production, biomass, growth rate and / or vigor in plants may involve multiple genes acting in addition or in synergy (see, for example, in Quesda et al., Plant Physiol. 130: 951- 063, 2002), the invention also contemplates expressing a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in a single host plant to achieve a higher increase in oil content, production, biomass, growth rate and / or vigor in plants.
Expressing a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in a single host plant can be accomplished by co-introducing nucleic acid construction, each including an exogenous polynucleotide, into a single plant cell. The transformed cell can then be regenerated into a mature plant using the methods described above.
On the other hand, the expression of a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in a single host plant can be effected by co-introducing a nucleic acid construct into a single plant cell
43/119 including a plurality of different exogenous polynucleotides. Such a construct can be determined with a unique promoter sequence that can transcribe a polycistronic messenger RNA including all different sequences of exogenous polynucleotides. To enable the co-translation of different polypeptides encoded by the polycistronic messenger RNA, the polynucleotide sequences can be linked through an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequence that facilitates the translation of polynucleotide sequences positioned below the IRES sequence. In this case, a transcribed polycistronic RNA molecule encoding the different polypeptides described above will be translated both from the leveled end 5 and from the two internal IRES sequences of the polycistronic RNA molecule to thus produce all the different polypeptides in the cell. On the other hand, the construct can include several sequences of promoters, each linked to a different exogenous polynucleotide sequence.
The plant cell transformed with the construct, including a plurality of different exogenous polynucleotides, can be regenerated in a mature plant using the methods described above.
On the other hand, the expression a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in a single host plant can be effected by introducing different nucleic acid constructs, including different exogenous polynucleotides in a plurality of plants. The transformed regenerated plants can then
44/119 are crossed and the resulting offspring selected for superior oil content, growth rate, biomass, harvest and / or vigor using conventional plant reproduction techniques.
Thus, the invention includes plants exogenously expressing (as described above) the polynucleotide (s) and / or polypeptide (s) of the invention. Once expressed within the plant cell or the entire plant, the level of polypeptide encoded by the exogenous polynucleotide can be determined by methods well known in the art such as activity assay, Western blot using antibodies capable of specifically binding the polypeptide, Immunosorbent Linked Assay Enzyme (ELISA), radioimmune assays (RIA), immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and the like.
Methods of determining the level of exogenous polynucleotide transcribed RNA in the plant are well known in the art and include, for example, Northern blot analysis, polymerase reverse transcription chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays (including quantitative, semi-quantitative or Real-time RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization of RNA.
The polynucleotides and polypeptides described above can be used in a wide range of economic plants, in a safe and cost effective way.
The effect of the transgene (the exogenous polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide) on
45/119 of oil, plant production, seed production, biomass, growth rate and / or vigor can be determined using known methods.
The oil content of a plant can be determined by extracting the oil from the seed or the vegetative portion of the plant. Briefly, lipids (oil) can be removed from the plant (for example, seed) by penetrating plant tissue in the presence of specific solvents (for example, hexane or petroleum ether) and extracting the oil in a continuous extractor. Indirect oil content analysis can be performed using several known methods, such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR), which measures the resonance energy absorbed by hydrogen atoms in the liquid state of the sample [See, for example, Conway TF. and Earle FR., 1963, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society; Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, ISSN: 0003-021X (Print) 1558-9331 (Online)]; the Near Infrared Spectroscopy (IVP), which uses energy absorption close to the infrared (1100-2500 nm) by the sample; and a method described in WO / 2001/023884, which is based on extracting oil from a solvent, evaporating the solvent in a gas stream that forms oil particles, and directing light into the gas stream and particles of oil that forms a detectable reflected light. Other methods of determining oil content are described in Example 7 of the Examples section that follows.
The vigor of the plant can be calculated by increasing growth parameters, such as
46/119 such as leaf area, rosette diameter, recent plant weight and the like by time.
The growth rate can be measured using a digital plant growth analysis. For example, images of plants growing in greenhouses on a batch basis can be captured every 3 days and the area of the rosette can be calculated by digital analysis. The growth of the rosette area is calculated using the difference in rosette area between days of experiments divided by the difference in days between samples.
Seed production measurements can be made by collecting total seeds from 8-16 plants together, weighing them using an analytical balance and dividing the total weight by the number of plants. The seed per growing area can be calculated in the same way while taking into account the growth area given to a single plant. High seed production per growth area can be achieved by increasing the seed yield per plant, and / or increasing the number of plants capable of growing in certain areas.
The evaluation of the production of
<td colspan="4">seed per plant can be made by measuring the amount (weight or</td>

growth can be done by measuring the biomass of the plant produced, rosette area, leaf size or length
47/119 of the root per time (can be measured in cm<sup>2</sup> per day of leaf area).
Thus, the present invention is of high agricultural value to promote the production of desired commercialized crops (for example, seeds).
Any transgenic plants described above or parts of these can be processed to produce a food, meal, protein or oil preparation, such as ruminant animals.
The transgenic plants described here, which exhibit a high oil content can be used to produce vegetable oil (by extracting the oil from the plant).
Vegetable oil (including seed oil and / or vegetable oil) produced according to the method of the invention can be combined with a variety of other ingredients. The specific ingredients included in a product are determined according to the purpose of use. Exemplary products include animal feed, raw material for chemical modification, biodegradable plastic, mixed food, edible oil, biogas, cooking oil, lubricant, biodiesel, snack, cosmetics, and raw material for the fermentation process. Exemplary products to be incorporated into vegetable oils include animal feed, human foods such as extruded snacks, breads, as a food binding agent, sports drinks, nutritional bars, multi-vitamin supplements, diet drinks, and cereals.

The number of the GGos is in accordance with the TAIR website [http://www.arabidopsis.org/] and includes all information about the GGOs. GGOs include wild type alleles of Ssi2 (AT2G43710), OlesinA (AT3G01570), Lecl (AT1G21970), Lec2 (atlg28300), Fus3 (AT3G26790), FAD3
53/119 (AT2G29980), ΑΒΙ3 (AT3G24650) and Wril (AT3G54320). The comparison of the gene expression profile at 79 different developmental stages of Arabidopsis was done on the GGOs genes and all other genes printed in Nottingham
Arabidopsis Stock Center
Nottingham] [(NASC), http://affymetrix.arabidopsis.info/)] micro essays describing autonomy, development and various stress experiments. The correlation was determined using Pearson's statistical correlation analysis [Http://davidmlane.com/hiperstat/A34739.html].
The criteria used for each of the genes are described in detail in Table 1 below and covers a variety of biological rationales that use various bioinformatics approaches. The genes were selected to cause changes in seed size and / or amount of seed oil based on their highest expression correlation (given as Pearson R values between 0.7 <R <1) for one or more of the GGOs. The list of identified genes and their correlation (R value) for each of the GGos are provided in Table 1, below.

PRODUCTION OF ARABIDOPSIS TRANSCRIPTOM AND HIGH PERFORMANCE CORRELATION ANALYSIS USING FULL GENOME OLIGONUCLEOTIDE MICRO TEST
FROM ARABIDOPSIS 44 K
In order to produce a high yield correlation analysis, the present inventors using an oligonucleotide micro assay from Arabidopsis thaliana, produced by Agilent Technologies [http://www.chem.agilent.com/Scripts/PDS.asp?lPage= 50879]. The oligonucleotide assay represents about 40,000 A. thaliana and designated transcripts based on data from the TIGR ATH1 v.5 database and the Arabidopsis MPSS database (University of Delaware). In order to define the correlations between RNA expression levels and yield components or related vigor parameters, several characteristics of the plant of 15 different Arabidopsis ecotypes were analyzed. Among them, nine ecotypes encompassing the observed variance were selected for the analysis of RNA expression. The correlation between the RNA levels and the characterized parameters were analyzed using Pearson's correlation test [Http://www.davidmlane.com/hiperstate/A34 739.html].

Experimental Procedures
RNA extraction - Five tissues from different stages of development [root, leaf, flower in anthesis, seed in 5 days after flowering (DAF) and seed in 12 DAF], representing different characteristics of the plant, were sampled and the RNA was extracted using Invitrogen's TRIzole Reagent [http://www.invitrogen.com/content.cfm?pageid=469]. For convenience, each type of micro assay expression information tissue received an ID Set as summarized in
Table 3 below.

Arabidopsis in 5 repetitive blocks (named A, B, CD and E), each containing 20 plants per plot grown under greenhouse control conditions 22? C, 20:20:20 (weight ratio) N: P fertilizer was added : K [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)]. During this period the data were collected, documented and analyzed. Additional data were collected through the seedling phase of plants grown in tissue culture on transparent vertical growth agar plates. Parameters of collected data are summarized in Table 4, below.

Many of the choice parameters were analyzed by digital image.
Digital imaging - A laboratory image acquisition system, consisting of a digital reflex camera (Canon EOS 300 D) coupled with
63/119 55 mm focal length lenses (Canon EF-S series), mounted on a reproduction device (Kaiser RS), which included 4 light units (4 x 15 watt light bulb) and located in a dark room , was used to capture images of sawn seedlings on square agar plates.
The image capture process was repeated every 2 days starting on the 7th to the 14th. The same camera attached with a focal length 24mm lens (Canon EF series), placed on a pile of iron, was used to capture images of larger plants sawn in white tubes in a controlled environmental greenhouse (as seen in Figure 2b).
The white square tubes with measures of 3 6 x 2 6.2 cm and 7.5 cm deep. During the capture process, the tubes were placed under the pile of iron, while avoiding direct sunlight and shadows. This process was repeated every 3-4 days for up to 30 days.
An image analysis system was used, which consists of a personal desktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domain program - ImageJ 1.37 (Java based on the image processing program that was developed at the American National Institute of Health and freely available on the internet at http: //rsbweb.nih..gov/). The images were captured in 6 Mega Pixel resolution (3072 x 2048 pixels) and stored in low compression in the JPEG format (Joint Photographic Experts Group standard). Then data
64/119 analyzed were saved to text files and processed using the statistical analysis software JMP (instituto SAS).
Sheet analysis - using data from digital analysis sheets was calculated, including sheet number, area, perimeter, length and width. On day 30, 3-4 representative plants were chosen from each plot of blocks A, B and C. The plants were dissected, each leaf was separated and inserted between two glass trays, a photo of each plant was taken and the various parameters (such as total leaf area, laminar length, etc.) were calculated from the images (Figure 1 ad). The circularity of the blade was calculated as the laminar width divided by the laminar length.
Root analysis - For 17 days, the different ecotypes were grown on transparent agar plates. The plates were photographed every 2 days starting on the 7th in the photography room and the development of the roots was documented (Figures 2a-b).
The growth rate was calculated according to the following formula I.
Formula I:
Rate of area of relative growth = (? Area /? T) * (1 / area t0) út is the day of the current analyzed image subtracted from the initial day (t-t0).
Thus, the rate of the relative growth area is in the unit of 1 / day and the growth rate is in the unit of 1 / day.
65/119
Analysis of the vegetative growth rate - The growth rate was calculated by dividing the added area (Δ area) by the number of days for each interval (At). The analysis was completed with the appearance of overlapping plants.
The growth rate was calculated according to formula II.
Formula II:
Growth rate = Δ area / At.
For comparison between ecotypes, the calculated rate was normalized using the plant development stage as represented by the number of true plants. In cases where plants with 8 leaves were sampled twice (for example, on the 10th and 13th day), only the largest sample was chosen and added for Anova comparison.
Seeds in silica analysis - On day 70, 15-17 silicas were collected from each plot in blocks D and E. The chosen silicas were brown in color, but still intact. The silicas were opened in the photography room and the seeds were dispersed on a glass tray, a high resolution digital figure was taken from each plot. Using the images, the number of seeds per silica was determined.
Average seed weight - At the end of the experiment, all seeds from the AC plots were collected. An average weight of 0.02 grams was measured from each sample, the seeds were dispersed on a tray
66/119 glass and a photograph was taken. Using digital analysis, the number of seeds in each sample was calculated.
Percentage of oil in the seeds - At the end of the experiment all seeds from the AC plots were collected. Columbia seeds from 3 plots were ground and mixed and then mounted in the extraction chamber. 210 ml of n-hexane (cat. No. 080951
Biolab Ltd.) were used as the solvent. The extraction was carried out for 30 hours in a medium heated to 50 ° C. Once the extraction was completed, the n-hexane was evaporated using the evaporator at 35 ° C and vacuum conditions. The process was repeated twice. The information acquired from the Soxhlet extractor (Soxhlet, F. Die gewichtsanalytische Bestimmung DES Milchfettes, Polytechnisches J. (Dingler's) 1879, 232, 461) was used to create a calibration curve for the
Low NMR Resonance. The oil content of all seed samples was determined using Low
NMR resonance (MARAN Ultra-Oxford Instrument) and its MultiQuant software package.
Silica length analysis - On day 50 of sowing, 30 silicas from different plants in each plot were sampled in block A. The silicas chosen were yellow-green in color and were collected from the deep parts of a growing plant trunk. A digital photograph was taken to determine the length of the silica.
Dry weight and seed yield - On day 80 of sowing, the plants in the AC blocks
67/119 were collected and allowed to dry at 30 ° C in a drying chamber. The biomass and seed weight of each plot were separated, measured and divided by the number of plants. Dry weight = total weight of the vegetative portion above the soil (excluding the roots) after drying at 30 ° C in a drying chamber; seed yield per plant = total seed weight per plant (gr).
Oil yield - Oil yield was calculated using Formula III.
Formula III:
Seed oil yield = seed yield per plant (gr) *% oil in the seed Harvest index - The harvest index was calculated using Formula IV.
Formula IV:
Harvest index = Average seed yield per plant / Average dry weight Experimental Results

EXAMPLE 3
GENE CLONING AND CREATION OF BINARY VECTORS FOR EXPRESSION OF THE PLANT Cloning Strategy
The selected genes from those listed in Example 1 and 2 above have been cloned into binary vectors for the generation of transgenic plants. For cloning, the opening reading structure (ALS) of the full length was first identified. In the case of the ELA-EST cluster and in some cases of mRNA sequences, they were analyzed to identify the reading structure of the total aperture by comparing the results of translation algorithms for recognized proteins from other plant species. To clone the full-length cDNAs, Reverse Transcription followed by PCR (TR-PCR) was performed on the total RNA extracted from Arabidopsis silica collected 3 and 13 days after flowering (3 and 13 DAF). The RNA was extracted using RNA extraction protocol with hot borate according to WWW.eeob.iastate.edu/faculty/WendelJ/ultramicroma.html. The production of cDNA (using random hexamer and precursor poly dT) and PCR amplification was performed using standard protocols described elsewhere (Sambrook J., E.
<td>F. Fritsch,</td><td>and T.</td><td>Maniatis</td><td> .1989.</td><td colspan="2">Molecular cloning. a</td>

full length of a gene, the genomic DNA was extracted
80/119 of Arabidopsis thaliana wild type (TS) leaves (DNeasy mini plant kit, Qiagen, Germany).
All genes were amplified by PCR. The PCR products were purified using the Elute Mini PCR purification kit (Qiagen) and the amplified PCR products were sequenced using ABI 377 sequencer (Applied Biosystems). To facilitate the cloning of the cDNA genomic sequences, an extension of 8-12 bp was added to the starting end of each primer. The primer extension includes an endonuclease restriction site. Restriction locations are selected using two parameters: (a). The site does not exist in the cDNA sequence; and (b). The restriction sites on the initial and final primers are designated so that the digested cDNA is inserted in the direction of formation of the binary vector used for transformation.
The PCR products were purified (Mini Elute PCR purification kit, Qiagen, Germany) and digested with the restriction sites according to the primers used (Roche, Switzerland). The digested products of the PCR were first subcloned into a high copy vector [(originated from the KS plasmid vector pBlue-script http://www.stratagene.com/manuals/212205.pdf)] with the 35S promoter (SEQ ID NO: 921), and the NOS terminator (SEQ ID
NO: 922) originated from the binary vector pBI 101.3 (Genbank Access
No. U12640, BP 4417 to 4693), followed by cloning into binary vectors pGI or pMBArt (according to Table 16, below). The digested PCR products and the plasmid vector
81/119 linearized cells were ligated using T4 DNA ligase enzyme (Roche, Switzerland). The following polynucleotides were cloned from RNA extracted from the tissues described above or from genomic DNA using primers as provided in Table 17, below.

To optimize the coding sequence (in the silicon project), Codon usage tables calculated from the plant's Transcriptoms were used (example of such Table can be found in
Codon Use database available online at
86/119
Example V expression
Http: //www.kazusa.or jp / codon /). The optimized coding sequences have been designed so that no changes have been made to the encoded amino acid sequence (from polypeptides selected from Table 1, while using codons preferred for dicotyledonous plants mainly
Arabidopsis, Canola and Soy; and monocotyledonous plants such as corn. Such optimized sequences promise better rate and translation and therefore higher levels of protein expression. For the optimized sequences accompanying additional unique restriction enzyme sites, Sal, Xbal, BamHI, Smal at the 5 'end and Saci at the 3' end were added (except for a BDL-1 gene, in which the Smal site was excluded). The genes by which the codon-optimized synthetic (artificial) sequences were prepared are: BDL-1 (SEQ ID NO: 1040), BDL-4 (SEQ ID NO: 1041), BDL-11 (SEQ ID NO, -1042) , BDL-17 (SEQ ID NO: 1043), BDL-20b (SEQ ID NO: 1044), BDL-24 (SEQ ID NO: 1045), BDL-30 (SEQ ID NO: 1046). The artificial polynucleotide sequences optimized have been synthesized commercial supplier

Generation of binary vectors comprises BDL genes and functional plant promoters for guiding its expression - The pPI plasmid was constructed by inserting a synthetic poly - (A) signal sequence, originating from the basic plasmid vector pGL3 (Promega, Acc No U47295 ; BP 4658-4811) at the HindII restriction site of the vector
87/119 binary pBI101.3 (Clontech, Genbank Access No U12640). In some cases the spinal binary plasmid used was pGI which is similar to pPI but the GUS qene was replaced by the GUS-Intron gene (Vancanneyt., G. et al MGG 220, 245-50, 1990). The pGi used to clone part of the polynucleotide sequences, initially under the control of the 35S promoter [Odell, JT, et al., Nature 313, 810-812 (28 February 1985); SEQ ID NO: 921]. The additional sequences were cloned into pMBArt under the control of the 35S promoter.
Some polynucleotide sequences have been cloned under another preferred promoter as described below. The promoter, named Napin from Brassica napus, which is characterized by a seed of specific promoter activity [Stuitje AR et al. Plant Biotechnology Journal 1 (4): 301-309], was amplified by direct PCR on the genomic DNA extracted from the leaf tissue using the DNAeasy kit (Qiagen Cat. No 69104) using the following prITiers:
Napin F Hind III (Enzyme HindIII) - 5'ATAAGCTTATTGATTCCTTTAAAGACTTATGTT (SEQ ID NO: 1013)
Napin R Sal I (Enzyme Sal 1) - 5'TCGTCGACGGGTGTATGTTTTTAATCTTGTTT (SEQ ID NO: 1014).
The following genes have been cloned downwards from the Napin promoter sequence: BDL-2, BDL-3, BDL-4, BDL-6, BDL-12, BDL-14, BDL-15,
BDL-17, BDL-18, BDL-21, BDL-23, BDL-25, BDL-27, BDL-28, BDL29, BDL-32b, Wrinkel. For proposed control, the enzyme
88/119 - glucuronidase (GUS, SEQ ID NO: 1051) encoded by the A uid gene (GUS-Intron, SEQ ID NO: 1049).

Materials and methods
Plant transformation was performed according to (Clough SJ, Bent AF, 1998. Floral immersion: a simplified method for the mediated transformation of Agrobacterium from Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant J. 16 (6): 735-43, Desfeux C, Clough SJ , Bent AF.2000.
Female reproductive tissues are the primary targets for the mediated transformation of Agrobacterium by the Arabidopsis floral immersion method. Plant Physiol. 123 (3): 895-904).
Arabidopsis thaliana var Columbia (T plants<sub>The</sub>) were transformed according to the floral immersion procedure described by Clough SJ, Bent AF. (1998) Floral immersion: a simplified method for the mediated transformation of Agrobacterium from Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant J. 16 (6): 735-43, Desfeux C, Clough SJ, Bent AF. (20,000 female reproductive tissues are the primary targets for the mediated transformation of Agrobacterium by the Arabidopsis floral immersion method. Plant Physiol. 123 (3): 895-904) with few modifications. Briefly, Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia (ColO) Plants To were sown in 250 ml containers filled with moist peat-based growth mixture. The containers were covered
89/119 with aluminum foil and a plastic dome, kept at 4 ° C for 3-4 days, then discovered and incubated in a growth chamber at 18-24 ° C under 16/18 hours of light / dark cycles. The T plants<sub>The</sub> were ready for transformation six days before anthesis.
Single colonies of
Agrobacterium carrying the binary vectors harboring the seed oil genes were grown in LB medium supplemented with kanamycin (50 mg / L) and gentamycin (50 mg / L). The cultures were incubated at 28 ° C for 48 hours with vigorous agitation and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes. The pellets comprising the Agrobacterium cells were resuspended in a transformation medium containing half the concentration (2.15 g / L) Murashige-Skoog (Duchefa); 0.044 µM benzylamine purine (Sigma); 112 µg / L B5 Gambourg vitamins (Sigma); sucrose 5%; and 0.2 ml / L of Silwet L-77 (OSI Especialistas, CT) in double distilled water, at a pH of 5.7.
The transformation of T plants<sub>The</sub> was carried out by inverting each plant in an Agrobacterium suspension such that the plant tissue above the ground was submerged for 3-5 seconds. Each inoculated T0 plant was immediately placed in a plastic tray, then covered with a transparent plastic dome to maintain humidity and keep in a dark room at a temperature for 8 hours to facilitate infection and transformation. Plants T<sub>The </sub>GM crops grew in the greenhouse for 3-5 weeks until silica became brown and dry, then the seeds were
90/119 collected from plants and kept at room temperature until sowing.
For the generation of transgenic plants Τχ and T<sub>2</sub> harboring the genes, seeds collected from transgenic T plants<sub>The</sub> were sterilized on the surface by immersion in 70% ethanol for 1 minute, followed by immersion in 5% sodium hypochloride and 0.05% triton for 5 minutes. The seeds sterilized on the surface were thoroughly washed in sterile distilled water and then placed in culture dishes containing half the Murashige-Skoog concentration (Duchefa); sucrose 2%; agra plant 0.8%; 50 mM kanamycin; and 20 mM carbenicillin (Duchefa). The culture plates were incubated at 4 ° C for 48 hours and then transferred to a growth room at 25 ° C for an additional week of incubation. The Arabidopsis Τχ Vital plants were transferred to fresh culture plates for another week of incubation. After incubation, the Τχ plants were removed from the culture plates and planted in a growth mixture contained in the 250 mL containers. The transgenic plants were grown in a greenhouse for maturation. The seeds harvested from the TI plants were grown and grown for maturation like the T plants<sub>2</sub> under the same conditions as used for crop and plant growth Τχ.

ADDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF SEQUENCES WITH THE MOST PROBABILITY TO GIVE SIMILAR FAVORABLE EFFITS ON TRANSGENIC PLANTS
91/119
The methods for searching for and identifying homologues of the polypeptide or polynucleotide seed yield would be well within the skill of a person skilled in the art. The search for and identification of homogenous genes involves the selection of the sequence of available information, for example, the public database, which includes, but is not limited to, the Japan DNA Database (BDDJ), Genbank, and the Database of the Nucleic Acid Sequence of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (LBME) or versions thereof or the MIPS database. A number of different search algorithms have been developed, including, but not limited to, programs referred to as BLAST programs. There are five implementations of BLAST, three designed for nucleotide sequences (BLASTIN, BLASTX, and TBLASTX) and two designed for protein sequences (BLASTP and TBLASTN) (Coulson, Trends in Biotechnology: 76-80, 1994; Birren et al., Genome analysis, 1: 543, 1997). Such methods involve alignment and comparison of sequences. The BLAST algorithm calculates the percentage of sequence identity and performs a statistical analysis of similarity between the two sequences. The software for the performance of the BLAST analysis is publicly available through the National Center for Information in Biotechnology. Other software or algorithms are GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA and TFASTA. GAP uses the Needleman and Wunsch algorithm (J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453, 1970) to find the alignment of two complete sequences that maximize the number of pairs and minimize the number of gaps.
92/119
Homologous genes can belong to the same gene family. The analysis of a gene family can be performed using sequence similarity analysis. To perform this analysis one can be the standard program for multiple alignments, for example, Clustal W. A joint tree next to the proteins homologous to the genes in this invention can be used to provide an overview of the structure and previous relationships. The sequence identity can be calculated using an alignment program as described above. It is expected that other plants of similar genes and those genes will provide the same phenotype referred to as the genes presented here. Advantageously, these family members can be useful in the methods of the invention. Examples of other plants are included here, but are not limited to, barley (Hordeum vulgare), Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), corn (Zea mays), cotton (Gossypium), Rapeseed oil (Brassica napus), Rice (Oryza sativa), sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum), Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), Soy (Glycine max), Sunflower (Helinathus annuus), Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), Wheat (Triticum aestivum).
The aforementioned analyzes for sequence homology are preferably performed on a full length sequence, but can be based on comparing certain regions such as conserved domains. The identification of such domains would also be within the domain of the person skilled in the art and would involve, for example, a computer-readable format of
93/119 computer a, MEME, person qualified in the nucleic acids of the present invention, the use of alignment software programs and the use of publicly available information on protein domains, conserved motifs and boxes. This information is available in PRODOM (http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/bsm/dbbrowser/protoco1/prodomq ry.html), PIR (http://pir.georgetown.edu/) or database Pfam (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam).
The sequence analysis programs designed to search for the motif can be used to identify the conserved fragments, regions and domains as mentioned above.
Preferred programs include, but are not limited to
SIGNALSCAN, and GENESCAN.
One technique can use homologous sequences provided here to find similar sequences in other species and other organisms. The homologues of a protein encompass peptides, oilgopeptides, polypeptides, proteins and enzymes that have amino acid substitutions, deletions and / or insertions relative to an unmodified protein in question and have similar biological and functional activity as the unmodified protein they derive. To produce such homologues, the amino acids in proteins can be replaced by other amino acids having similar properties (conservation changes, such as hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, similar antigenicity, propensity to form or break down
94/119 a-helical structures or 3-leaf structures). Conservative substitution tables are well known in the art (see, for example, Creighton (1984) proteins. WH Freeman and Company). Nucleic acid homologues encompass nucleic acids having nucleotide substitutions, deletions and / or insertions relative to the unmodified nucleic acid in question and having similar biological and functional activity and function as the unmodified nucleic acid they derive.
Genes identified in the publicly available sequence databases when they share a high homologous sequence for the arabidopsis genes identified here are summarized in Table 18 below. Those genes are expected to have similar functions when introduced exogenously into plants, such as the identified arabidopsis genes. Homologous genes are also provided.

EXAMPLE β
IMPROVED TRANSGENIC PLANT PERFORMANCE
100/119
To analyze whether the transgenic plants perform better, the plants were grown in containers with an adequate amount of nutrient and water. Plants were analyzed for their size, growth rate, time to inflorescence (flowering), seed yield, seed oil content, weight of 1,000 seeds, dry matter and harvest index (CI - seed yield / dry matter ). The performance of transgenic plants was compared with control plants grown in parallel under the same conditions. The transgenic Mock plants expressing the uidA reporter gene (GUS-Intron) under the same promoter were used as controls.
The parameters were measured as described in Examples 1 and 2.
Statistical analysis - To identify genes that provide a significant improvement in plant performance, the results obtained from transgenic plants were compared to those obtained from control plants. The growth rate of the plant, plant area, sifting time, flowering time, 1,000 seed weight, seed yield, oil yield, dry matter, and harvest index area data were analyzed by single-ANOVA mode. To identify the overcome genes and constructs, the results of mixing the transformation events or independent events tested were analyzed. For gene in comparison with the control analysis, a t test was applied, using significance
101/119 of p <0.05. The JMP statistical software package was used (Version 5.2.1., SAS Institute Inc., Cary. NC, United States).
Experimental results
The polynucleotide sequences of the invention were analyzed for a number of commercially desired traits.
Tables 19-24 represent the analysis of seed yield in plants that overexpress the polynucleotides of the invention under the regulation of a constituent (35S) or specific promoter (napin) of the seed. Each Table represents an independent experiment, using at least 5 independent events per gene. The genes not connected by the same letter as the control (A, B,) are significantly different from the control.

EXAMPLE 7
INCREASED OIL CONTENT ON SHEETS
In general, oils are composed mainly of triacylglycerols (TAG). Arabidopsis seeds and other oilseeds containing high amounts of TAG. Generally, TAGs are being broken down into sugars through the germination process. Cermac and Benning (Plant journal 2004; 40, 575-585) in their function used an assay to quantify TAG production in seedlings grown in sucrose. They use this stage of development since normally the seedlings do not present TAG at high levels. In their study, they demonstrated the importance of a wrinkled gene in controlling oil production by showing that transgenic changes overexpress the wrinkled cDNA and produce high amounts of TAG.
Materials and methods
Experimental
The present inventor used the Cermac and Benning assay (Cermac and Benning (Plant journal 2004; 40, 575-585) with few changes to qualify the effect of the transgenes identified here for their ability to increase TAG in seedlings, similar to the wrinkled gene .
115/119
For the quantification of triacylglycerol in transgenic T seedlings<sub>2</sub> they grew on half of the MS medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962 Plan Physiology 15, 473-497), pH 5.9, sucrose 2% and Agar 0.7%. The samples were sterilized by evaporation of 100 ml of bleach (10%) and 4 ml of HCI (37%) for 90 minutes in a closed plastic chamber of 5.5L volume.
Ammonium glufosinate and kanamycin were added to final concentrations of 20? G.ml<sup>_1</sup> for ammonium glufosinate and 50? g.ml<sup>_1</sup> kanamycin. After sterilization, the seeds were sown on agar plates. Paws were incubated in the dark at 4 ° C before placing them in the growth room. The conditions in the growth room were 24 ° C, a 12 hour light period and a 12 hour light period. The seedlings grew for 10-11 days.
Seedlings with an equal amount of 11 days were grown in 1.5 ml polypropylene test tubes with a glass rod, and the lipids were extracted in 50 ml of chloroform: methanol: formic acid (10: 10: 1, v / v). After extraction with 12.5 ml of 1 M KCl and H<sub>3</sub>POWDER<sub>4</sub> 0.2 M and separation of the organic and aqueous phases by centrifugation at 16,000 g for 5 minutes, the lipids in the lower phase were separated on a TLC silica plate (Si 250 PA, JT Paker, Philipsburg, NJ) developed with 80: 20: 1 , petroleum ether: ethyl ether: acetic acid. The lipids were visualized by the stain with iodide vapor.
As positive controls the following were used: Triacylglycerols naturally
116/119 produced - extracted from the wild type arabidopsis seeds (line 5, Figure 3); and transgenic seedlings express WRINKLED cDNA (SEQ ID No: 1050), which are known to produce significant amounts of triacylglycerols in leaves (Cermac A and Benning C, The Plant Journal 2004, 40,
575-585). As a negative control, transgenic seedlings express the GUS-Intron gene (SEQ ID No: 1049) were used.
Experimental Results
Figure 3 represents the iodide vapor in the lipid stain isolated from transgenic plants of independent events (BDL9, WRINKLED) or event pool (GUS-Intron) expressing the following genes according to Table 56, below. An independent event represents a single stable transformed plant that resulted from the random integration of the transformed construction into the Arabidopsis genome. Progenies of an event harboring the transformed construct were used for the evaluation of genes separately as in the case of BDL9 and wrinkled genes or as an event pool in the case of GUS-Intron.

As shown in Figure 3, transgenic plants expressing the BDL9 gene (SEQ ID No: 1022) produced a significantly higher oil content
117/119 when compared to the oil content produced by control plants expressing GUS-Intron (SEQ ID No: 1049). In addition, the amount of oil produced by BDL9 transgenic plants (for example, Figure 3, line 2) is comparable to that produced by seeds (Figure 3, line 5) or by transgenic plants expressing the known wrinkled gene (Figure 3, line 6).
resume
The present inventors have identified Arabidopsis thaliana genes, which are important for embryogenesis, seed development and oil synthesis and accumulation. These genes, when overexpressed in plants, can effectively increase the oil content in seeds or leaves or any other part of the plant. Expression of specific tissue or embryonic genes in plants can result in an optimal increase in oil content in any plant tissue. Thus, transgenes can be expressed at certain stages of the embryo, seed development or to the stage of development of any target tissue, defined as accumulation oil in the tissue. This unique expression profile can be achieved using specific promoters, such as development promoters, seed expression and specific seed promoters.
The present inventors demonstrated improvement in oil synthesis and accumulation by increasing the size of the seed, which allows the synthesized oil to be accumulated to a greater extent, within a large volume.
118/119
In addition, increased oil can be achieved by controlling embryogenesis. The oil is accumulated in the developed seed embryo. Some of the early embryo development genes are directly in charge of regulating oil synthesis and storage.
The identified genes of the invention can improve oil yield in general, and more specifically oil synthesis, oil accumulation and seed size. The yield of the bioinformatics method described here is a set of highly predicted genes to improve the yield of oil and seeds by modifying their expression. Although each gene is expected to have its own impact, modifying the expression mode of more than one gene is expected to provide an additive or synergistic effect on the performance of the seed / oil yield of the plant. Changing the expression of each gene described here alone or a set of genes together increases the overall yield of the oil, so it is expected to lower the price of vegetable oil, as well as increase productivity.
Although the invention is described in conjunction with specific configurations, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent from those skilled in the art. In this way, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications and variations that are inserted in the spirit and scope of the attached claims.
