Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120060243Herbicide-Resistant AHAS-Mutants and Methods of Use - The invention provides transgenic or non-transgenic plants with improved levels of tolerance to AHAS-inhibiting herbicides. The invention also provides nucleic acids encoding mutants of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) large subunit, expression vectors, plants comprising the nucleic acids encoding the AHASL subunits containing one, two, or more mutations, plants comprising such AHASL subunit mutant nucleic acids, methods for making and using the same, and methods of controlling weeds.03-08-2012

20090307802EPSPS Mutants - The present invention relates to the production of a non-transgenic plant resistant or tolerant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, e.g., glyphosate. The present invention also relates to the use of a recombinagenic oligonucleobase to make a desired mutation in the chromosomal or episomal sequences of a plant in the gene encoding for 5-enol pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). The mutated protein, which substantially maintains the catalytic activity of the wild-type protein, allows for increased resistance or tolerance of the plant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, and allows for the substantially normal growth or development of the plant, its organs, tissues or cells as compared to the wild-type plant irrespective of the presence or absence of the herbicide. Additionally the present invention relates to mutant 12-10-2009

20090205064Mutated Acetohydroxyacid Synthase Genes in Brassica - Provided are mutated acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) nucleic acids and the proteins encoded by the mutated nucleic acids. Also provided are canola plants, cells, and seeds comprising the mutated genes.08-13-2009
20120073186FATTY ACID BLENDS AND USES THEREFOR - Provided herein are blends oils or fatty acids comprising more than 50% medium chain fatty acids, or the fatty acid alkyl esters thereof, and having low melting points. Such blends are useful as a fuel or as a starting material for the production of, for example, a biodiesel. Also provided genetically altered or modified plants, modified such that the amount of medium chain fatty acids generated by the plant are increased. Further provided is a method of predicting the melting point of a blend of fatty acid methyl esters and the use of such a method for identifying blends suitable for use as, for example, a biodiesel.03-29-2012
