20120102597 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TRANSGENIC PLANTS HAVING HIGH STARCH AND BIOMASS CONTENT AND YIELD - Process for the production of transgenic plants that have high content and yield of starch and biomass. The starch synthases (SSs) in plants (including SSIV) and glycogen synthase (GlgA) in bacteria catalyse the transfer of the glucosidic part of the ADP-Glucose molecule (the activated donor of glucose) to a pre-existing α(1, 4)-glucan. However, in contrast to the other SSs, SSIV is able to add glucose units to maltotriose. Also, in contrast to other soluble SSs, SSIV is bound to the starch granule. This invention describes for the first time how to obtain plants that have high levels and yields of starch and biomass as a consequence of the expression of genes coding for SSIV. | 04-26-2012 |

20130116124 | METHOD FOR CHANGING THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, INCREASING THE GROWTH AND THE ACCUMULATION OF STARCH, CHANGING THE STRUCTURE OF STARCH AND INCREASING THE RESISTANCE TO WATER STRESS IN PLANTS - The invention relates to a method for changing the development pattern, increasing the growth and starch accumulation, changing the structure of starch and increasing the resistance to water stress in plants. The method involves culturing plants in an atmosphere containing volatile elements emitted by a microorganism, without there being any physical contact between the microorganism and the plant. The method is based on the discovery that the volatile elements emitted by Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and microscopic fungi stimulate an increase in the growth of plants in general, with an increase in the height, the number of leaves and/or the number of branches of the plant, as well as an increase in the accumulated starch and structural change of this biopolymer, and modification of the development pattern, with an increase in floral buds. An increased resistance to water stress can also be observed, in addition to an increase in starch in leaves separated from whole plants. | 05-09-2013 |

20130007928 | METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF RECOMBINANT SUCROSE SYNTHASE, USE THEREOF IN THE MANUFACTURE OF KITS FOR DETERMINATION OF SUCROSE, PRODUCTION OF ADPGLUCOSE AND PRODUCTION OF TRANSGENIC PLANTS WHOSE LEAVES AND STORAGE ORGANS ACCUMULATE HIGH CONTENTS OF ADPGLUCOSE AND STARCH - A transgenic plant that overexpresses sucrose synthase. The transgenic plant has a genetic construct that encodes a sucrose synthase peptide. | 01-03-2013 |

20110271401 | PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCING TRANSGENIC PLANTS PROVIDING HIGH STARCH CONTENT AND YIELD AND HIGH AMYLOSE/AMYLOPECTIN BALANCE - A process for the production of transgenic plants that have a high starch content and yield and a high amylose/amylopectin ratio. The alpha-1,4-glucan phosphorylases (GPs) catalyze the reversible cutting of bonds α-1,4 of the non-reducing ends of homopolysaccharides with at least 5 glucose molecules such as starch, maltodextrin and glycogen, leading to production of glucose-1-phosphate. The GPs in bacteria and animal cells are responsible for the breakdown of glycogen. Although the increase in GP activity leads to a reduction in intracellular levels of glycogen in bacteria and animal cells, this invention discloses the production of plants that have high starch levels and yields and high amylose/amylopectin ratio, as result of the expression of genes coding for GPs. | 11-03-2011 |
