  • Patent number: 11641818
    Abstract: The present invention provides use of a photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterility mutant of cotton in crossbreeding or hybrid seed production. The fertility of the photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterility mutant of cotton is influenced by the photoperiod. The photoperiod characteristic of the photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterility mutant of cotton is that, the photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterility mutant of cotton shows normal fertility when the illumination time is shorter than 11.5 h and shows genic male sterility when the illumination time is longer than 12 h; the photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterility mutant of cotton is in a fertility change period when the illumination time is in a range of 11.5-12 h and has less pollen. The photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterility mutant of cotton is PSM1, and/or a photoperiod-sensitive genic sterile line obtained through selective breeding of hybridized and/or backcrossed and/or self-bred offsprings of the PSM1.

  • Patent number: 11572573
    Abstract: A method for maintaining a male sterile plant in a homozygous recessive state includes providing a first plant that includes homozygous recessive male sterility alleles, providing a second plant that includes homozygous recessive male sterility alleles the same as that in the first plant and a nucleotide construct in which the construct exists in a heterozygous state. The first nucleotide sequence of the nucleotide construct encodes a first protein that restores male fertility of the first plant after expression in the first plant. The second nucleotide sequence of the nucleotide construct allows for distinguishing the grains with or without the construct by observation through naked eyes or devices. The first nucleotide sequence and the second nucleotide sequence are tightly connected with each other and coexist in a plant. The method further includes fertilizing female gametes of the first plant with male gametes of the second plant.

  • Patent number: 11560577
    Abstract: Methods for the production of L-glufosinate (also known as phosphinothricin or (S)-2-amino-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphonoyl)butanoic acid) are provided. The methods comprise a two-step process. The first step involves the oxidative deamination of D-glufosinate to PPO (2-oxo-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl)butyric acid). The second step involves the specific amination of PPO to L-glufosinate, using an amine group from one or more amine donors. By combining these two reactions, the proportion of L-glufosinate in a mixture of L-glufosinate and D-glufosinate can be substantially increased.

  • Patent number: 8946507
    Abstract: A method of producing male or female sterile plants comprising the steps of transforming plant material with a polynucleotide which encodes at least one enzyme which reacts with a non-phytotoxic substance to produce a phytotoxic one, and regenerating the thus transformed material into a plant, wherein the said non-phytotoxic substance is applied to the plant up to the time of male or female gamete formation and/or maturation, so that the non-phytotoxic substance provides for the production of a phytotoxic one which selectively prevents the formation of or otherwise renders the said gametes non-functional, wherein the enzyme is expressed preferentially in either male or female reproductive structures, characterised in that (i) the non-phytotoxic substance is D-phosphinothricin and (ii) the enzyme is a D-amino acid oxidase.
