Patent number: 7282624Abstract: This invention seeks to provide means by which transgenic plants harbour within their genome a chimaeric gene which when expressed produces a protein having a cytotoxic effect. Cytotoxicity is achieved by way of a protein or part thereof capable of blocking cellular protein synthesis, such as a maize ribosome inactivating protein or part thereof. The chimaeric gene may comprise a promoter operably linked to a sequence encoding a protein capable of blocking cellular protein synthesis such that the promoter is inducible at and/or adjacent to a target site.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2001Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Advanced Technologies (Cambridge) LimitedInventors: Christopher John Robert Thomas, Michael John McPherson, Howard John Atkinson, Anil Neelam
