  • Plant structural gene expression
    Patent number: 5591605
    Abstract: The invention provides genetically modified plant cells having a plant structural gene introduced and expressed therein under the control of a T-DNA promoter. In particular, the invention provides genetically modified plant cells having the phaseolin gene introduced and expressed therein under the control of a T-DNA promoter. Also provided are novel strains of bacteria containing and replicating T-DNA which has been modified to contain an inserted plant structural gene under the control of a T-DNA promoter. Further, the invention provides novel plasmids having the ability to replicate in E. coli and comprising T-DNA which has been modified to contain an inserted plant structural gene under the control of a T-DNA promoter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 1994
    Date of Patent: January 7, 1997
    Assignee: Mycogen Plant Science, Inc.
    Inventors: Timothy C. Hall, John D. Kemp, Jerry L. Slightom, Dennis W. Sutton
  • Plant gene expression
    Patent number: 5504200
    Abstract: The phaseolin structural gene and promoter are disposed. Also disclosed are plasmids, bacteria, plant cells, plant tissue and plants containing the phaseolin promoter. The promoter finds use in the expression of heterologous plants genes, including the phaseolin gene, in transformed plant cells and plants.
