  • POTATOES WITH REDUCED COLD-INDUCED SWEETENING
    Publication number: 20200157525
    Abstract: Materials and methods are provided for making plants (e.g., Solanum varieties) with decreased accumulation of reducing sugars and acrylamide in cold-stored potatoes, specifically, by making TALE-nuclease-induced mutations in genes encoding vacuolar invertase.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 25, 2019
    Publication date: May 21, 2020
    Inventors: Luc Mathis, Daniel F. Voytas, Feng Zhang, Benjamin Clasen, William Haun, Thomas Stoddard
  • METHODS FOR ALTERING AMINO ACID CONTENT IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20200002709
    Abstract: Materials and methods are provided for making plants (e.g., soybean varieties, wheat varieties, or corn varieties) with altered amino acid content. For example, materials and methods are provided for making TALE nuclease-induced mutations in genes encoding seed storage proteins, or by making TALE nuclease-induced deletions of within seed storage protein genes.

  • Potatoes with reduced granule-bound starch synthase
    Patent number: 10301637
    Abstract: Materials and methods for making plants (e.g., Solanum varieties) with decreased levels of amylose are provided herein. The methods can include making mutations in the gene encoding granule bound starch synthase (GBSS), where the mutations are induced using a rare-cutting endonuclease.
