  • Prevention of transgene escape in genetically modified perennials
    Patent number: 7525015
    Abstract: Genes can be introduced into plants that confer desirable traits such as, drought and stress tolerance, insect and pest resistance, as well as environmental qualities such as phyto-remediation. However, possibility for transgene escape to wild and non-transformed species raises commercial and ecological concerns. Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for generating sterile plants for the prevention of transgene escape.

  • Adjustable sensitivity, genetic molecular interaction systems, including protein-protein interaction systems for detection and analysis
    Patent number: 6790607
    Abstract: A method for detecting interactions between first and second interacting molecules at variable sensitivity. This variable sensitivity may be obtained by providing for the overexpression of either a bait hybrid protein containing a DNA binding domain (desensitization) or a prey hybrid protein containing the DNA activation domain for a reporter gene (enhanced sensitivity). The use of exogenous activators of one or the other according to the needs of a particular system is readily accomplished.
