  • Patent number: 7033627
    Abstract: A method of catalyzing in vitro reactions using seeds containing enhanced amounts of enzymes is disclosed. The method involves adding transgenic, non-wild type seeds, preferably in a ground form, to a reaction mixture, especially a bakery process and allowing the enzymes in the seeds to increase the rate of reaction. By directly adding the seeds to the reaction mixture the method provides a solution to the expensive and problematic process of extracting and purifying the enzyme. Methods of treatment are also provided whereby a subject lacking a sufficient supply of an enzyme is administered the enzyme in the form of seeds containing enhanced amounts of the enzyme.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 1998
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2006
    Assignees: Syngenta Mogen B.V., Gist-Brocades N.V.
    Inventors: Albert Johannes Joseph Van Ooyen, Krijn Rietveld, Wilhelmus Johannes Quax, Jan Pen, Andreas Hoekema, Peter Christiaan Sijmons, Teunis Cornelis Verwoerd
  • Patent number: 6881877
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for producing trehalose in plant cells capable of producing trehalase by growing plant cells having the genetic information required for the production of trehalose and trehalase, or cultivating a plant or a part thereof comprising such plant cells, characterized in that said plant cells are grown, or said plant or a part thereof, is cultivated in the presence of a trehalase inhibitor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 1997
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2005
    Assignee: Mogen International NV
    Inventors: Oscar Johannes Maria Goddijn, Teunis Cornelis Verwoerd, Ronny Wilhelmus Hermanus Henrika Krutwagen, Eline Voogd

  • Patent number: 6022846
    Abstract: The present invention provides for the expression of phytase in transgenic plants or plant organs and methods for the production of such plants. DNA expression constructs are provided for the transformation of plants with a gene encoding phytase under the control of regulatory sequences which are capable of directing the expression of phytase. These regulatory sequences include sequences capable of directing transcription in plants, either constitutively, or stage and/or tissue specific, depending on the use of the plant or parts thereof. The transgenic plants and plant organs provided by the present invention may be applied to a variety of industrial processes either directly, e.g. in animal feeds or alternatively, the expressed phytase may be extracted and if desired, purified before application.
