  • Methods of controlling fructan synthesis in plants
    Patent number: 10308949
    Abstract: The present invention relates to plants with increased levels of water soluble carbohydrates, particularly fructan, in the stem and leaf sheath. The present invention also provides methods of identifying and/or producing these plants. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel class of polypeptides designated MYB13 which upregulate the expression of enzymes involved in fructan synthesis. The present invention further relates to a novel promoter element that can be used to express genes predominantly in the stem and leaf sheath during the early reproductive stage of a plant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2019
    Assignee: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATION
    Inventors: Gangping Xue, Cathrine Lynne McIntyre, Maarten Christiaan Kooiker

  • STRESS TOLERANT WHEAT PLANTS
    Publication number: 20170137838
    Abstract: The present invention, relates to stress tolerant transgenic wheat plants. In particular, the present invention relates to stress tolerant transgenic wheat plants comprising an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a NAC transcription factor operably linked to a promoter capable of directing expression of the polynucleotide in a cell of the plant.
