  • Herbicide resistant plants
    Patent number: 7169970
    Abstract: Polynucleotide constructs encoding EPSPS enzymes are disclosed. The constructs have at least one transcriptional enhancer operably linked to a soybean or Brassica promoter and to a sequence respectively encoding the soybean or Brassica EPSPS chloroplast transit peptide and soybean or Brassica EPSPS enzyme. The EPSPS enzymes comprise a modified region that confers herbicide resistance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2001
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2007
    Assignee: Syngenta Limited
    Inventors: Simon Anthony James Warner, Timothy Robert Hawkes, Christopher John Andrews
  • GST sequences from soybean and their use in the production of herbicide resistant plants
    Patent number: 7056715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to inter alia, Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) and homoglutathione synthetase sequences from soybean and their use in the production of plants which are resitant to herbicides which comprise fomesafen and/or acifluorfen. In a particular embodiment the invention provides a GST depicted as SEQ ID No. 10 and a homoglutathione synthetase depicted as SEQ ID No. 1.
    Type: Grant

  • Antifungal proteins
    Patent number: 6864068
    Abstract: Antifungal proteins which are analogues of the Rs-AFP2 protein and contain particular mutations in their amino acid sequence. The mutated proteins possess enhanced salt-tolerant antifungal activity. The proteins are useful for combating fungal diseases in agricultural, pharmaceutical or preservative applications.

    Patent number: 6605698
    Abstract: Antifungal peptides which comprise at least six amino acid residues identical to a run of amino acid residues found between position 21 and position 51 of the Rs-AFP2 antifungal protein sequence or of substantially homologous protein sequences. The peptides are useful for combating fungal diseases in agricultural, pharmaceutical or preservative applications.
