Patent number: 8084668Abstract: A nucleic acid sequence is provided which encodes a gibberellin 2-oxidase gene which catalyses the 2?-oxidation of a gibberellin molecule to introduce a hydroxyl group at C-2 and further catalyses the oxidation of the hydroxyl group introduced at C-2 to yield the ketone derivative. Such sequences can find application in the preparation of transgenic plants with altered levels of gibberellin 2-oxidase.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Rothamsted Research LimitedInventors: Stephen Gregory Thomas, Peter Hedden, Andrew Leonard Phillips
-
Patent number: 7985888Abstract: A method is provided for increasing the weight of plant seed, which comprises preparing a genetically modified plant in which gibberellin content has been manipulated in the seed of the plant.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2005Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Rothamsted Research LimitedInventors: Andrew Leonard Phillips, Peter Hedden, John Robert Lenton, Daniel James Evans, Rebecca Stratford
