  • Microsomal ?6 oleate desaturases
    Patent number: 9574205
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of plant molecular biology, more particularly Jatropha microsomal co6 oleate desaturases. The present invention also relates to Jatropha plants or plants of other oil crops having seeds with altered ratios of monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats. In particular, the present invention relates to Jatropha plants or plants of other oil crops where the plants exhibit elevated levels of oleic acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2017
    Assignee: TEMASEK LIFE SCIENCES LABORATORY LIMITED
    Inventors: Jian Ye, Jing Qu, Hui Zhu Mao
  • curcin genes, tissue-specific promoters and generation of curcin-deficient transgenic plants
    Patent number: 8933302
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the isolation of Jatropha curcas curcin genes and tissue-specific promoters and to the production of curcin-deficient Jatropha plants. More specifically, the present invention relates to the isolation of Jatropha curcas Curcin 1, Curcin 2 and Curcin 2 A. The present invention further relates to of the Curcin 1, Curcin 2 A and Curcin 2 genes and more particularly to tissue specific promoters of the Curcin 1 and Curcin 2A genes. The present invention further relates to production of curcin-deficient transgenic jatropha plants by using RNAi technology to suppress curcin gene expression.
