| 10-27-2011 |
| 20110055976 | Method Of Protease Production In Plants - A process of producing a protease in a plant or in plant cells, comprising (a) providing a plant comprising a heterologous nucleotide sequence comprising a coding sequence encoding a fusion protein, said fusion protein comprising: an apoplast or plastid signal peptide; a SUMO protein or a derivative of a SUMO protein; and a zymogen of said protease, and (b) expressing said fusion protein. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20100138948 | TRANSGENIC PLANTS WITH CONTROLLED DISTRIBUTION OF A TRAIT TO PROGENY - A process of producing a transgenic multi-cellular plants or parts thereof expressing a trait of interest, said trait having a controlled distribution of said trait to progeny, wherein said process comprises (i) producing a first plant or a cell thereof having in a first locus of a nuclear chromosome a first heterologous nucleotide sequence comprising a first fragment of a nucleotide sequence encoding said trait of interest, (ii) producing a second plant or a cell thereof having in a second locus of a nuclear chromosome homologous to said nuclear chromosome of step (i), a second heterologous nucleotide sequence comprising a second fragment of the nucleotide sequence encoding said trait of interest, and (iii) hybridising said first and said second plant or cells thereof to generate progeny exhibiting said functional trait of interest due to binding between a protein or polypeptide encoded by said first heterologous nucleotide sequence and a protein or polypeptide encoded by said second heterologous nucleotide sequence. Further, the invention provides a process of producing hybrid seeds for agriculture. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100071084 | POTEXVIRUS-DERIVED REPLICON - Nucleic acid comprising or encoding an RNA replica comprising, in this order, the following segments (i) to (iii): i) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a potexvirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase or a function-conservative variant thereof; ii) a nucleic acid sequence comprising: a) a potexvirus triple gene block or a function-conservative variant thereof and b) a sequence encoding a potexviral coat protein or a function-conservative variant thereof; or a sequence encoding a tobago viral movement protein; and iii) a heterologous nucleic acid sequence expressible from said replica in a plant or in plant tissue. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20090282579 | PLANT VIRUS-BASED INDUCIBLE EXPRESSION SYSTEM - A process of producing one or more than one protein of interest, comprising: (a) providing a plant or plant cells comprising a first heterologous nucleotide sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an RNA replicon, and a first inducible promoter operably linked to said nucleotide sequence encoding said RNA replicon; said RNA replicon not encoding a protein providing for cell-to-cell movement of said RNA replicon in said plant; said RNA replicon encoding a polymerase and said one or more than one protein of interest, said polymerase being adapted for replicating said RNA replicon; and (b) inducing, in said plant or plant cells of step (a), said inducible promoter, thereby producing said one or more than one protein of interest in said plant or plant cells. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090111145 | PRODUCTION OF HETERO-OLIGOMERIC PROTEINS IN PLANTS - Process of producing in a plant, in plant tissue, or in plant cells a hetero-oligomeric protein comprising at least a first and a second protein subunit, said process comprising expressing in plant cells at least said first and said second protein subunit by (i) providing to said plant, said plant tissue or said plant cells a plus-sense single-stranded RNA viral vector encoding at least said first and said second protein subunit or (ii) providing to said plant, said plant tissue or said plant cells a first and a second plus-sense single-stranded RNA viral vector, said first viral vector encoding at least said first protein subunit, said second viral vector encoding at least said second protein subunit, whereby at least said first viral vector and said second viral vector are non-competing viral vectors. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090062514 | PLANT VIRAL PARTICLES COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF FUSION PROTEINS CONSISTING OF A PLANT VIRAL COAT PROTEIN, A PEPTIDE LINKER AND A RECOMBINANT PROTEIN AND USE OF SUCH PLANT VIRAL PARTICLES FOR PROTEIN PURIFICATION - A process of purifying a protein of interest using viral particles or virus-like particles comprising a plurality of fusion protein molecules, said fusion protein comprising the following fusion protein domains: (i) a plant viral coat protein, (ii) a recombinant protein, and (iii) optionally a peptide linker linking said plant viral coat protein and said recombinant protein, wherein formation of said viral particle does not require free viral coat protein. | 03-05-2009 |
