PATENT ABSTRACTS detected in the receptor, a sequence which promotes recombination,and/or a hairpin structure at one or both ends. The transformation process uses donor DNA coupled to the multifunctional linker and allows for early success followed by further characterization of the donor DNA and its phenotypic impact.

These promoter fragments are useful in creating recombinant DNA constructions comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding any desired gene product operably linked to such promoter fragments which can be utilized to transform plants and bring the expression of the gene product under external chemical control in various tissues of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.

Date Jan. 10, 1991.Thermostable and acid stable alpha-amylases are provided as expression products of genetically engineered alpha-amylase genes isolated from microorganisms, preferably belonging to the class of Bacilli. Both chemical and enzymatic mutagenesis methods are e.g. the bisulphite method and enzymatic misincorporation on gapped heteroduplex DNA. The mutant alphaamylases have superior properties, e.g. improved thermostability over a broad pH range, for industrial application in starch processing and textile desizing.

RETROVIRUS PROMOTER-TRAP VECTORS Ruley H Earl; von Melchner Harold Massachusetts Institute of Technology Retroviruses are used as genetic tools to isolate transcriptionally active chromosomal regions. The retroviruses have a promoterless protein coding sequence located in U3 or U5. The retroviruses may be used to infect cells under conditions which permit selection for instances when the retrovirus integrates in close proximity to and under the
