  • Polynucleotides derived from chickpea and uses thereof
    Patent number: 9163255
    Abstract: Polynucleotides isolated from chickpea are disclosed herein. The disclosed polynucleotides of the present invention provide genotype-dependent spatial information on the presence and relative abundance of each gene. The transcriptomic analysis of the polynucleotides revealed (649) non-cannonical genes besides many unexpected candidates with known biochemical functions, which have never been associated with pathostress-responsive transcriptome. The polynucleotides disclosed in the present invention can be used as a molecular tool for isolation of novel genes from plants that can be used for plant improvement. Further, the polynucleotide responsible for improving immunity against fungal pathogen in plants is disclosed herein. The present invention also provides a method of improving immunity against fungal pathogen in plants. Transgenic plants exhibiting improved immunity against fungal pathogen are also provided in the present invention.

  • RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISMS AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20130230557
    Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant strains of Vibrio spp, which are unable to utilize the amino sugar N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) as a sole carbon source. This inability to utilize GlcNAc severely impairs the colonization property of the recombinants. The present invention also provides compositions comprising these recombinant strains for use in pharmaceuticals and in providing immunity.
