20100248232 | METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ELITE EVENT MS-BN1 IN BRASSICA PLANT MATERIAL - This invention relates to transgenic winter oilseed rape (WOSR) plants, plant material and seeds, harboring a specific transformation event. It pertains to winter oilseed rape plants, more particularly to a pair of winter oilseed rape plants, which is particularly suited for the production of hybrid seed. More specifically, one plant is characterized by being male-sterile, due to the presence in its genome of a male sterility gene, while the other is characterized by carrying a fertility-restorer gene, capable of preventing the activity of the male-sterility gene. The invention further provides a method for producing hybrid seed, a process for producing a transgenic WOSR plant oil or plant, and a method to identify a transgenic plant, cell or tissue. A kit for identifying the transgenic plants comparing the elite event of the present invention is also described. The WOSR plants of the invention combine the ability to form hybrid seeds with optimal overall agronomic performance, genetic stability and adaptability to different generic backgrounds. | 09-30-2010 |

20130330774 | TARGETED ALTERATION OF DNA WITH OLIGONUCLEOTIDES - The current invention relates to a method for targeted alteration of acceptor DNA, for example duplex acceptor DNA. The method comprises use of at least two oligonucleotides, each oligonucleotide having at least one mismatch relative to the targeted (duplex) acceptor DNA. The mismatch of the first oligonucleotide is directed to a nucleotide at a position in the first strand of the duplex and the mismatch of the second oligonucleotide is directed to the nucleotide in the second strand that occupies the complementary position in the duplex acceptor DNA (e.g. forms a base-pair with the nucleotide in the first strand). These mismatches are located at specific positions within said oligonucleotides. Also provided is a kit that comprises instructions for performing the method according to the inventions, and in a preferred embodiment, comprises oligonucleotides suitable for use in the method. | 12-12-2013 |
