  • Variegation in plants
    Patent number: 9145562
    Abstract: A variegated plant comprising a nucleic acid operatively linked to a regulatory region, the nucleic acid disrupts the expression of Cpn21. The nucleic acid is typically an antisense Cpn21 and the regulatory region may be an inducible regulatory region, a tissue specific regulatory region, or a developmental regulatory region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2015
    Assignee: ALBERTA INNOVATES—TECHNOLOGY FUTURES
    Inventors: Margarita Velcheva, John Vidmar, Jurgen Quandt

  • Transgenic disease resistant banana
    Patent number: 7534930
    Abstract: A nucleic acid construct or construct system which includes (i) a first polynucleotide encoding endochitinase, (ii) a second polynucleotide encoding stilbene synthase and (iii) a third polynucleotide encoding superoxide dismutase. In addition, banana cells transformed with the nucleic acid construct or construct system, banana plants generated therefrom and methods of producing same.
