Publication number: 20240057538Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying a plant or plant part, such as a maize plant or plant part, comprising a novel restorer of fertility locus, in particular a cytoplasmic male sterility restorer of fertility locus. The invention further relates to molecular markers associated with such locus and the use of such markers in the identification of plants. The invention further relates to methods for generating plants or plant parts comprising the novel restorer of fertility locus.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaAInventors: Monika KLOIBER-MAITZ, Carsten KNAAK, Hervé DALL'OCCHIO, Jean-Claude CASTELLE

Patent number: 11845947Abstract: The present invention provides an improved Helminthosporium turcicum-resistant plant, in particular a maize plant which comprises a polynucleotide with one or more resistance-conferring genes, for example on a truncated chromosome fragment from the accession Pepitilla, as well as a cell, a tissue, a part, grain and seeds thereof, an isolated polynucleotide which comprises one or more resistance-conferring genes against Helminthosporium turcicum, a vector, a transgenic plant cell and a transgenic plant containing this polynucleotide. Furthermore, the invention encompasses suitable markers and their use in introducing resistance or the transgene into a plant, as well as the identification of improved maize plants which comprise a truncated chromosome fragment.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignees: KWS SAAT SE & CO. KGAA, UNIVERSITÄT ZÜRICHInventors: Milena Ouzunova, Daniela Scheuermann, Beat Keller, Simon Krattinger, Thomas Wicker, Gerhard Herren, Severine Hurni, Bettina Kessel, Thomas Presterl, Carsten Knaak

Publication number: 20220251592Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification and molecular characterization as well as to the use of genes and markers from a chromosomal interval which has a locus for cold tolerance in maize. The invention further relates to the development of molecular markers for assisting in growth, in particular for preventing a fixing of a “selective sweep” in a region with a low recombination rate, and to the provision of transgenic and non-transgenic plants, in particular maize plants, which show a newly mediated or increased cold tolerance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: KWS SAAT SE & CO. KGAAInventors: Milena OUZUNOVA, Thomas PRESTERL, Carsten KNAAK, Daniela SCHEUERMANN, Claude URBANY, Peter WESTHOFF, Elena PESTSOVA, Karin ERNST
