  • Patent number: 11198884
    Abstract: Transgenic plants and methods for terpenoid production leveraging such transgenic plants are provided. Such transgenic plants may comprise a first heterologous nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylCoA reductase activity and a second heterologous nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide that introduces de novo formation of isopentenyl phosphate in the plant. Such de novo IP production may be achieved through the overexpression of phosphomevalonate decarboxylase in conjunction with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylCoA reductase, which can result in up to a 130-fold increase of terpenoid production as compared to a wild-type plant.

  • Patent number: 11154022
    Abstract: A method for producing haploid Lolium plants may start with providing a Lolium multiflorum inducer line, the L. multiflorum inducer line having the ability to induce mitotic genome instability and haploid sectoring when hybridized as a maternal parent with a Lolium sp. paternal parent, such as previously disclosed lines IL1 and IL2. The inducer line may then be crossed with a Lolium sp. to generate F1 plants, and the F1 plants may be self-fertilized so as to recover seed from the selfed plant. The recovered seed may then be planted to generate one or more F2 plants, and at least one of the F2 plants may be a haploid Lolium plant.
