20080241927 | NOVEL GLYPHOSATE-N-ACETYLTRANSFERASE (GAT) GENES - Novel proteins are provided herein, including proteins capable of catalyzing the acetylation of glyphosate and other structurally related proteins. Also provided are novel polynucleotides capable of encoding these proteins, compositions that include one or more of these novel proteins and/or polynucleotides, recombinant cells and transgenic plants comprising these novel compounds, diversification methods involving the novel compounds, and methods of using the compounds. Some of the novel methods and compounds provided herein can be used to render an organism, such as a plant, resistant to glyphosate. | 10-02-2008 |
20080299658 | Highly Transformable Elite Doubled Haploid Line PHWVZ - A novel double haploid maize line designated PHWVZ and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing double haploid maize line PHWVZ with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PHWVZ through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid maize seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the double haploid line PHWVZ or a trait conversion of PHWVZ with another maize line. Inbred maize lines derived from double haploid maize line PHWVZ, methods for producing other inbred maize lines derived from double haploid maize line PHWVZ and the inbred maize lines and their parts derived by the use of those method. | 12-04-2008 |
20090104700 | METHODS FOR TRANSFERRING MOLECULAR SUBSTANCES INTO PLANT CELLS - Provided are methods for introducing a molecule of interest into a plant cell comprising a cell wall. Methods are provided for genetically or otherwise modifying plants and for treating or preventing disease in plant cells comprising a cell wall. | 04-23-2009 |
20090280565 | HIGH-RATE PERFUSION BIOREACTOR - The present invention relates to a novel perfusion bioreactor allowing continuous medium feed and extraction of metabolites or other desired products from cells. The invention is useful for plant cell cultures but may also be used for mammalian cell cultures, insect cell cultures and bacterial cell cultures. The design of the reactor includes sedimentation columns mounted inside the bioreactor to separate single cells and cell aggregates from the culture medium at a very low shear stress. The operating conditions allow a stable cell/medium separation by maintaining the medium upward velocity equal to or slightly lower than the cell sedimentation velocity. | 11-12-2009 |
20110294216 | SULFONYLUREA-RESPONSIVE REPRESSOR PROTEINS - Compositions and methods relating to the use of sulfonylurea-responsive repressors are provided. Compositions include polypeptides that specifically bind to an operator, wherein the specific binding is regulated by a sulfonylurea compound. Compositions also include polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides as well as constructs, vectors, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and eukaryotic organisms including plants and seeds comprising the polynucleotide, and/or produced by the methods. Also provided are methods to provide a sulfonylurea-responsive repressor to a cell or organism, and to regulate expression of a polynucleotide of interest in a cell or organism, including a plant or plant cell. | 12-01-2011 |
20120034697 | IN VITRO METHODS FOR THE INDUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLANT CELL LINES AS SINGLE SUSPENSION CELLS WITH INTACT CELL WALLS, AND TRANSFORMATION THEREOF - The subject invention provides simple and consistent methods to break suspension cell aggregates to single cells with intact primary cell walls. The subject invention relates in part to cell separation of suspension cell aggregates cultured in medium containing pectin-degrading enzymes or tubulin de-polymerizing compounds including colchicine. The subject invention also relates to novel uses of compounds for such purposes. Another aspect of the subject invention relates to transformation of the subject, isolated cells. Such processes simplify and integrate single-cell-based transformation and selection processes into transgenic and transplastomic event-generation work processes. The subject invention also removes technical constraints and produces marker-free and uniformly expressing transgenic lines in a high throughput fashion to support various needs of animal health, biopharma, and trait and crop protection platforms. | 02-09-2012 |
20120295354 | SULFONYLUREA-RESPONSIVE REPRESSOR PROTEINS - Compositions and methods relating to the use of sulfonylurea-responsive repressors are provided. Compositions include polypeptides that specifically bind to an operator, wherein the specific binding is regulated by a sulfonylurea compound. Compositions also include polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides as well as constructs, vectors, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and eukaryotic organisms including plants and seeds comprising the polynucleotide, and/or produced by the methods. Also provided are methods to provide a sulfonylurea-responsive repressor to a cell or organism, and to regulate expression of a polynucleotide of interest in a cell or organism, including a plant or plant cell. | 11-22-2012 |
20130217130 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IMPROVING PLANT HEALTH - The present invention provides methods and compositions for improving plant health. In particular, application of dicamba or another substrate of DMO, or metabolites thereof including DCSA, to a plant confers tolerance to, or defense against, abiotic or biotic stresses such as oxidative stress including herbicide application, and plant disease, and enhances crop yield. Such application may be in combination with the application of another herbicide such as glyphosate. | 08-22-2013 |
20130295674 | METHOD OF EXTRACTING EMBRYOS FROM KERNELS OF CORN - A method is provided for extracting embryos from the kernels of an ear of corn. In various embodiments, the method includes receiving an extraction solution in a vessel, receiving at least a portion of an ear of corn in the vessel, the portion of the ear of corn including a plurality of kernels having embryos and intact pericarps, sealing the vessel, subjecting the sealed vessel to a vigorous shaking motion to create an embryo mixture, and collecting the embryo mixture. In some embodiments, embryos are separated from the embryo mixture. | 11-07-2013 |
