  • Genetic system for controlling the floral development of a dicotyledon plant, and implementation in detection and selection processes
    Patent number: 8319018
    Abstract: A genetic system for controlling the type of floral development of a dicotyledon plant, includes the combination of two genetic control elements, respectively: a first genetic control element (A/a) present in a dicotyledon plant, in the form of a dominant allele (A), and a recessive allele (a), and a second genetic control element (G/g) present in a dicotyledon plant, in the form of a dominant allele (G), and a recessive allele (g), provided that the first genetic control element has been artificially inserted into the dicotyledon plant. This system enables the sex of the flowers of dicotyledon plants to be controlled and/or modified.

  • Combination of Two Genetic Elements for Controlling the Floral Development of a Dicotyledonous Plant, and Use in Detection and Selection Methods
    Publication number: 20110314569
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination of two genetic elements for controlling the development of the floral type of a dicotyledonous plant, said combination comprising, respectively: a first genetic control element (A/a) present in a dicotyledonous plant, in the form of a dominant allele (A), and of a recessive allele (a), and a second genetic control element (G/g) present in a dicotyledonous plant, in the form of a dominant allele (G), and of a recessive allele (g), it being understood that at least the second genetic control element was introduced artificially into said dicotyledonous plant. The above combination makes it possible to control and/or modify the sex of the flowers of dicotyledonous plants.

  • Gene resistant to
    Patent number: 7576264
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated Vat genes encoding a polypeptide that confers resistance to Aphis gossypii and/or resistance to viral transmission by aphids, and methods of transforming plant and cells with a Vat gene. The invention also relates to transgenic plants and cells having resistance to Aphis gossypii and/or resistance to viral transmission by aphids.
