  • Plants tolerant of environmental stress conditions, methods of generating same and novel polynucleotide sequence utilized thereby
    Patent number: 7385106
    Abstract: A method of generating a plant tolerant of environmental stress conditions, the method comprising the step of expressing within the plant exogenous polynucleotides encoding enzymes capable of catalyzing proline production, wherein the exogenous polynucleotides are expressed in a manner so as to allow accumulation of the enzymes within a subcellular organelle of the plant. The invention further describes novel polynucleotides and nucleic acid constructs useful in implementing the methods and a transgenic plant resultant therefrom.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 10, 2008
    Assignee: Ramot At Tel Aviv University Ltd.
    Inventors: Hanan Stein, Aviah Zilberstein, Gadi Miller, Yoram Kapulnik

  • Synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis cryic gene encoding insect toxin
    Patent number: 6043415
    Abstract: The present invention relateds to a synthetic version of a gene isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis encoding an insectidical crystal protein designated CryIC, plants transformed with the gene, and the insecticidal crystal protein toxin expressed by the gene, all of which are used to control insects of the Spodoptera species as well as those of the Mamestra species.
