  • Patent number: 12268144
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel melon plants producing fruits displaying a combination of a long shelf-life trait as well as a maturity indicator trait. The invention also relates to seeds and parts of said plants, for example fruits. The invention further relates to methods of making and using such seeds and plants. The invention also relates to novel genetic sequences associated with a rind-turning phenotype at maturity, which, when combined with a long shelf-life allele, significantly alters the characteristics of the maturing melon fruit, functions as a reliable maturity indicator while retaining suitable marketable features and results in a novel melon plant type.

  • Patent number: 12270059
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a tea plant CsFAAH6 gene and use thereof. The tea plant CsFAAH6 gene has a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 in sequence listing. A protein coded by the tea plant CsFAAH6 gene has an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 in the sequence listing. The CsFAAH6 is highly expressed in mature leaves of tea plants; there is significant negative correlation between theanine content in shoots (one bud and two leaves) of different tea cultivars in different months and expression level of the CsFAAH6; instantaneous silencing of CsFAAH6 expression can significantly increase the theanine content, indicating that CsFAAH6 has a physiological function of theanine degradation and a molecular mechanism thereof.
