Patent number: 11732014Abstract: The present invention relates to a transcription factor gene that plays a key role in Solanaceae fruit ripening. Plants overexpressing the gene have fruits with deeper pigmentation and ripen more rapidly than controls. The invention also relates to transgenic plants comprising said gene, and methods of making said plants.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2011Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Syngenta Participations AGInventors: Charles Baxter, Yu Pan, Thomas Charles Hodgman, Graham Barron Seymour, Rebecca Cade, Henricus Johannes Van Wijk, Glyn Bradley, Laurent Grivet, Laurie Boyden, Graham Ball, Paul Fraser

Publication number: 20190014735Abstract: The present invention concerns Capsicum annuum plants producing pepper fruits, exhibiting new physicochemical characteristics of the pepper fruit in relation with chlorophyll A & B, lutein as well as violaxanthin. The pepper fruits of the plants according to the present invention also exhibit a characteristic extreme dark green color at immature stage which color is linked to the content in pigment of the said fruit. The present invention also relates to QTL alleles directing the expression of the pigment content of those pepper fruits as well as molecular markers associated with these QTL alleles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2018Publication date: January 17, 2019Applicant: Syngenta Participations AGInventors: Laurie Boyden, Kevin Cook, Steven John Czaplewsi, Henricus Johannes Van Wijk
