An allergen-free transgenic peanut seed is produced by recombinant methods. Peanut plants are transformed with multiple copies of each of the allergen genes, or fragments thereof, to suppress gene expression and allergen protein production. Alternatively, peanut plants are transformed with peanut allergen antisense genes introduced into the peanut genome as antisense fragments, sense fragments, or combinations of both antisense and sense fragments. Peanut transgenes are under the control of the 35S promoter, or the promoter of the Ara h2 gene to produce antisense RNAs, sense RNAs, and double-stranded RNAs for suppressing allergen protein production in peanut plants. A full length genomic clone for allergen Ara h2 is isolated and sequenced. The ORF is 622 nucleotides long. The predicted encoded protein is 207 amino acids long and includes a putative transit peptide of 21 residues. One polyadenilation signal is identified at position 951. Six additional stop codons are observed. A promoter region was revealed containing a putative TATA box located at position ?72. Homologous regions were identified between Ara h2, h6, and h7, and between Ara h3 and h4, and between Ara h1P41B and Ara h1P17. The homologous regions will be used for the screening of peanut genomic library to isolate all peanut allergen genes and for down-regulation and silencing of multiple peanut allergen genes.

1. A method for producing a transgenic peanut plant with reduced or undetectable allergen protein content in the seed, comprising the steps of(a) identifying a homologous region common to more than one Ara h allergen gene; (b) cloning the homologous region in a vector modified for peanut transformation, wherein the homologous region is operably linked to a promoter; (c) transforming a recipient peanut plant cell with the vector; and (d) identifying a regenerated fertile transgenic peanut plant that produces seeds having reduced or undetectable allergen protein content. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said Ara h allergen gene is selected from the group consisting of Ara h1, Ara h2, Ara h3, Ara h4, Ara h5, Ara h6, and Ara h7.3. The method of claim 1, wherein said recipient peanut cell is transformed by Agrobacterium-mediated method of transformation.4. The method of claim 1, wherein said recipient peanut cell is transformed by the biolistic method.5. The method of claim 1, wherein said promoter is selected from the group consisting of constitutive, inducible, and tissue-preferred promoter.6. The method of claim 5, wherein said promoter is a seed-preferred promoter.7. A method for producing a transgenic peanut plant with reduced or undetectable allergen protein content in the seed, comprising(a) identifying a homologous region common to more than one Ara h gene, wherein said Ara h gene can induce an allergic reaction in humans; (b) cloning the homologous region in a vector modified for peanut transformation, wherein the homologous region is operably linked to a promoter; (c) transforming a recipient peanut plant cell with the vector; and (d) identifying a regenerated fertile transgenic peanut plant that produces seeds having reduced or undetectable allergen protein content. 8.
