Patent number: 12173297Abstract: The present invention is directed to promoters that have particular utility in driving root-specific expression of heterologous genes that impart increased agronomic, horticultural and/or pesticidal characteristics to a given transgenic plant. The present invention is also drawn to DNA molecules comprising the promoters of the invention and transformed plant tissues containing DNA molecules comprising a promoter of the invention operably linked to a heterologous gene or genes, and seeds thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Syngenta Crop Protection AGInventors: Kasimalai Azhakanandam, Joseph Dallas Clarke, V, Ailing Zhou, Jared Conville

Publication number: 20240401068Abstract: Provided herein are regulatory elements, such as promoters and terminators, derived or obtained from various Glycine species. Such regulatory elements are useful for expression cassettes for plants, such as soybean. Such expression cassettes generally contain a promoter and terminator sequence to control expression of each coding sequence. For certain traits, such as insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, it may be desirable to use promoters and terminators with medium to high constitutive expression.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicant: SYNGENTA CROP PROTECTION AGInventors: Ailing Zhou, Jonathan Cohn, Michele Susan Yarnall, Yuejin Sun, Zhongying Chen, Qiudeng Que, Yinping Lucy Qin

Publication number: 20240240199Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a nucleic acid sequence which confers expression of insecticidal proteins when introduced into a cell, as well as related compositions and methods of use thereof. In some aspects, the disclosure provides a plant comprising the nucleic acid sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: July 18, 2024Applicant: Syngenta Crop Protection AGInventors: Ailing Zhou, Kasimalai Azhakanandam, Jared Conville, Yan Zhang
