  • Inhibition of Snl6 expression for biofuel production
    Patent number: 9932601
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting the expression of the gene Snl6 in plants. Plants with inhibited expression of Snl6 have use in biofuel production, e.g., by increasing the amount of soluble sugar that can be extracted from the plant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2011
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2018
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Rebecca Bart, Mawsheng Chern, Pamela Ronald, Miguel Vega-Sanchez
  • Enhanced disease resistance by introduction of NH3
