Patent number: 7645579Abstract: A herbicide resistant transformed sugar beet that is detectable by the specific primers developed to match the DNA sequences that flank the left and/or right border region of the inserted transgenic DNA and the method of identifying primer pairs containing plant genomic DNA/plasmid DNA. More specifically, the present invention covers a specific glyphosate resistant sugar beet plant having an insertion of the transgenic material identified as the T227-1 event. The present invention additionally covers primer pairs: plant genomic DNA/Plasmid DNA that are herein identified. Additionally, these primer pairs for either the left or the right flanking regions make an event specific test for the T227-1 insert of transgenic material.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2007Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: SES Europe N.V./S.A.Inventors: Guy Weyens, Steve Barnes, Inge Rosquin

Patent number: 6956149Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for conveying resistance to beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) to a sugar beet plant, which method comprises the following steps: (a) preparing a DNA fragment consisting of a nucleotide sequence that corresponds to nucleotides 153 to 3258 of the genomic RNA 1 of the beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV); (b) introducing said DNA fragment, operatively linked to a promoter that is active in sugar beet plants, into a sugar beet plant cell to obtain a transformed sugar beet cell; and (c) regenerating a transgenic sugar beet plant from the transformed sugar beet plant cell.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2000Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: SES Europe N.V./S.A.Inventors: Kenneth Richards, Gérard Jonard, Hubert Guilley, Cornelis Maria Petrus Van Dun

Patent number: 6835538Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of genetic modification of a TGB-3 wild type viral sequence for reducing or suppressing the possible deleterious effects of the agronomic properties of a transformed plant or plant cell by the TGB-3 viral sequence, comprising the following successive steps: submitting the sequence to point mutation(s) which allow the substitution of at least one amino-acid into a different amino-acid, selecting genetically modified TGB-3 wild type viral sequences having the point mutation(s) and which are not able to promote cell-to-cell movement of a mutant virus having a dysfunctional TGB-3 wild type viral sequence, when expressed in trans from a replicon, further selecting among the genetically modified TGB-3 viral sequences, the specifically genetically modified sequence which inhibits infection with a co-inoculated wild type virus when the mutant form was expressed from a replicon, and recovering the specifically genetically modified TGB-3 viral sequence.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: SES Europe N.V./S.AInventors: Emmanuelle Lauber, Hubert Guilley, Ken Richards, Gérard Jonard

Patent number: 6297428Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for inducing resistance to a virus comprising a TGB3 sequence with the proviso that it is not the potato virus X, into a plant cell or plant, comprising the following steps: preparing a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleic acid sequence corresponding to at least 70% of the nucleic acid sequence of TGB3 of said virus or its corresponding cDNA, being operably linked to one or more regulatory sequence(s) active in a plant, transforming a plant cell with the nucleic acid construct, and possibly regenerating a transgenic plant from the transformed plant cell. The present invention is also related to the plant obtained.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1999Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: SES Europe N.V./S.A.Inventors: Hubert Guilley, Gerard Jonard, Ken Richards, Salah Bouzoubaa, Claudine Bleykasten-Grosshans, Guy Weyens, Marc Lefebvre
