  • Patent number: 8735649
    Abstract: A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found at the waxy loci of wheat; wheat plants having these mutations in their waxy loci; and a method of creating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of the waxy by screening pooled and/or individual wheat plants. The wheat plants of the present invention exhibiting altered waxy activity in the wheat without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes. The invention also includes food and non-food products as well as non-food products that incorporate seeds from the wheat plants having non-transgenic mutations in one or more waxy genes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8329995
    Abstract: Non-naturally occurring soybean plants and seeds having reduced isoflavones are provided. A series of independent non-transgenic human-induced mutations found in one or more isoflavone synthase genes of soybean; soybean plants having these mutations in one or more isoflavone synthase genes; and a method of creating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of the isoflavone synthase gene by screening pooled and/or individual DNA of soybean plants. The results are soybean plants and seeds having reduced isoflavones.

  • Publication number: 20110113507
    Abstract: A series of independent human-induced non-transgenic mutations found in an expansin gene (LeExp1) of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in their LeExp1 genes; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the LeExp1 gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. The tomato plants of the present invention exhibit fruit that soften more slowly post-harvest without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.

  • Patent number: 7928298
    Abstract: A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found in the fruit PG gene of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in their fruit PG gene; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the PG gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. The tomato plants of the present invention exhibit reduced PG enzyme activity and fruit that soften more slowly post harvest without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.
