  • Patent number: 12203091
    Abstract: The invention provides nucleic acids, polypeptides, transgenic plants, compositions and methods for conferring pesticidal activity (e.g., insecticidal activity) to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds. Nucleic acids encoding the insecticidal proteins can be used to transform prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms to express the insecticidal proteins. The recombinant organisms or compositions containing the recombinant organisms or insecticidal proteins or in combination with an appropriate agricultural carrier can be used to control an insect pest in various environments.

  • Publication number: 20240423154
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel tomato plants producing fruits displaying a modified sugar content, particularly displaying an increased sucrose content. The present invention also relates to seeds and parts of said plants, for example fruits. The present invention further relates to methods of making and using such seeds and plants. The present invention also relates to a novel sucrose modifier SucMod allele, which, when combined with a sucrose accumulation T/Vallele derived from a green-fruited wild tomato accession, significantly alters the proportion of sugar stored in the fruit, confers increased fruit sucrose content at the expense of hexose sugars and results in a fruit with a distinctive flavour.
