    Patent number: 6271016
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for conferring tolerance to an amino acid analog of tryptophan to a plant and/or altering the tryptophan content of a plant by introducing and expressing an isolated DNA segment encoding an anthranilate synthase in the cells of the plant. Transgenic plants transformed with an isolated DNA segment encoding an anthranilate synthase, as well as seeds and progeny derived from these plants, are also provided.

  • Methods for classifying plants for evaluation and breeding programs by use of remote sensing and image analysis technology
    Patent number: 6212824
    Abstract: Methods for classifying plants by remote sensing and image analysis technology are presented. These methods are useful for evaluating plants and for selecting plants for a plant breeding program which has as its goal to selectively alter phenotype. The methods combine the newer techniques of remote sensing technology to obtain indirect correlates of the traits of interest, with classical pedigree breeding strategies. Thermal and infrared reflectance measures of plant canopies are examples of energy values measured by remote sensing, used to indirectly predict the selected traits.

  • Method for reduction of transgene copy number
    Patent number: 6153811
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the efficient production of transformants with low transgene copy numbers. In the method, the average transgene copy number of transformants is decreased through methods which are believed to limit the interaction between segments of transforming DNA prior to transformation. The methods comprise means for end-modification of transforming DNA and use of limited quantities of DNA for transforrnation. Production of single or low copy transformation events is desirable in that it avoids many of the problems associated with high transgene copy number including co-suppression, unpredictable gene expression and non-Mendelian inheritance.
