  • Patent number: 11624076
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of altering expression of a genomic locus of interest or specifically targeting a genomic locus of interest in a plant cell, which may involve contacting the genomic locus with a non-naturally occurring or engineered composition that comprises a DNA binding domain comprising one or more Transcription Activator-Like (TAL) effector monomers specifically ordered to target the genomic locus of interest to improve tolerance of the plant cell to an effective concentration of an inhibitor herbicide.

  • Patent number: 9464298
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising, in the direction of transcription, functionally linked to one another, a promoter regulatory sequence which is functional in plant cells or plants, a nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS and a terminator sequence which is functional in plant cells or plants, characterized in that the promoter regulatory sequence is a nucleic acid sequence chosen from the promoter regulatory sequences of the CsVMV (Cassava Vein Mosaic Virus) plant virus.

  • Publication number: 20140366441
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of clonally propagating crop plant material in a hydroponic environment. The methods are useful for evaluating transgenic crop plants following transformation or expanding the number of genetically identical plants and seed generated therefrom. The methods comprise removing a part from a crop plant, such as a shoot or stem, and placing it in a hydroponic medium sufficient to support the development of one or more roots in the hydroponic medium. The new plant can then be grown under suitable conditions into a mature crop plant.
