  • Photosynthetic organisms and compositions and methods of generating same
    Patent number: 9796763
    Abstract: An isolated polynucleotide is provided. The isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide of a Type II reaction center of a photosynthetic organism, the nucleic acid sequence being capable of imparting the type II reaction center with an activity under a temperature range different than that of the type II reaction center endogenous to the photosynthetic organism. Also provided are methods of using the sequences for generating photosynthetic organisms or tailor-made thermotolerance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2017
    Inventors: Avigdor Scherz, Oksana Shlyk-Kerner, Ilan Samish, David Kaftan, Jorge Dinamarca

  • Plant promoter
    Patent number: 7273931
    Abstract: This disclosure provides gene sequence of a novel gene DaRub1 of Deschampsia antarctica expressed at low temperatures. The promoter sequence of this gene is identified and characterized. The promoter is inducible at low temperature, upon wounding and after auxin-treatment. Additionally this disclosure shows improved low temperature tolerance of transgenic Eucalyptus plants expressing DaRub1 gene.

  • Low temperature responsive nucleotide sequences and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20050262586
    Abstract: This disclosure provides gene sequence of a novel gene DaRub1 of Deschampsia antarctica expressing in low temperatures. The promoter sequence of this gene is identified and characterized. The promoter is inducible by low temperatures, wounding and auxin treatment. Additionally the disclosure shows improved low temperature tolerance of transgenic Eucalyptus plants expressing DaRub1 gene.
