  • Yield-related polynucleotides and polypeptides in plants
    Patent number: 7238860
    Abstract: The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties compared to a reference plant. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods and is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 3, 2007
    Assignee: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.
    Inventors: Oliver Ratcliffe, Jose Luis Riechmann, Luc J. Adam, Arnold N. DuBell, Jacqueline E. Heard, Marsha L. Pilgrim, Cai-Zhong Jiang, T. Lynne Reuber, Robert A. Creelman, Omaira Pineda, Guo-Liang Yu, Pierre E. Broun
  • Plant gene sequences II
    Patent number: 7223904
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modifying a trait of a plant. Isolated polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences are provided, along with an expression vector comprising the isolated polynucleotide, a host cell comprising the isolated polynucleotide, and a transgenic plant comprising the isolated polynucleotide. Also provided is a method for producing a transgenic plant, a method for screening for a compound that may modify the trait and a method for identifying other homologous polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences.
    Type: Grant
