  • Patent number: 11371058
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a maize parthenogenetic haploid-inducing gene ZmPLA1E and application thereof. The present invention utilizes the method of exchanged individual plant progeny tests for the first time, and successfully proves that the ZmPLA1E gene can generate and significantly increase the parthenogenetic haploid induction ability in the process of self-crossing or hybridizing as a male parent with other maize materials after the ZmPLA1E gene is mutated in the coding region. The haploid-inducing gene ZmPLA1E of the present invention is important for the cultivation of high-frequency parthenogenetic haploid inducing lines and the application of haploid technology.

  • Patent number: 11371056
    Abstract: In the present invention, HPPD polypeptides and plants containing them showing a full tolerance against one or more HPPD inhibitor herbicides belonging to various chemical classes are described. A set of mutant HPPD polypeptides have been designed which have either no or only a significantly reduced affinity to HPPD inhibitor herbicides and, at the same time, the rate of dissociation of the HPPD inhibitors of the mutant HPPD polypeptide is increased to such an extent that the HPPD inhibitors no longer act as slow-binding or slow, tight-binding inhibitors but, instead of this, have become fully reversible inhibitors. In particular, isolated polynucleotides encoding mutant HPPD polypeptides conferring tolerance to HPPD inhibitor herbicides belonging to various chemical classes are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed.
