Patent number: 7297846Abstract: Novel grass plants, their progeny, and parts thereof are disclosed which have been genetically modified by introduction of a nucleic acid molecule encoding the transcription factor AtH1. This modification causes a heritable change in one or more plant characteristics such as, for example, inhibition of flowering, absence of inflorescence, increased production of tillers, delayed heading, and inhibition of the developmental switch from vegetative to generative growth.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2001Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Advanta Seeds B.V.Inventors: Pieter Van Der Valk, Cornelius M.

Patent number: 6864051Abstract: A plant gene construct is disclosed comprising a complete or partial DNA sequence coding for an ATH1 gene product under the control of a promoter functional in plants. The promoter is preferably heterologous. Plant cells are transformed with such a plant gene construct, and plants comprising such cells have modified flowering properties. There is further described a process for modifying the flowering process in plants by transforming plants with a construct according to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1998Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: Advanta Seeds B.V.Inventors: Sjef Smeekens, Peter Weisbeek, Marcel Proveniers

Patent number: 6815591Abstract: The present invention relates to plants that are stably infected with an endophyte fungus. The purpose in providing to plants unique fungal endophytes is to import desired traits. These traits include insect resistance and drought tolerance and improved persistence to the plants. The plants specifically grass without inoculation with the endophyte would not evidence these traits as strongly. Endophyte inoculated grass can be used as turfgrass or foraging material depending on the grass type selected. In the present invention an endophyte that has a native host of meadow fescue was discovered. This endophyte did not provide animal toxicity's. This endophyte was transferred to a non-native host, Lolium perenne L. The transfer of Neotyphodium siegelii to Lolium perenne L. as a host was unique. The endophyte when in the non-native host evidenced stable inheritance and lacked the herbivore toxic effect.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2001Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Advanta Seeds B.V.Inventors: Kenneth W.
