  • Papaya ringspot virus genes
    Patent number: 7553668
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the isolation and identification of nucleic acid sequences encoding the coat protein of papaya ringspot virus in the Kapoho (KA), Keaau (KE), Thailand (TH), Brazil (BR), Jamaica (JA), Mexico (ME), Venezuela (VE), and Oahu (OA) strains, and the uses thereof to impart viral resistance to papaya plants. The present invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs containing individual or multiple papaya ringspot virus coat protein-encoding nucleic acid sequences, and host cells and transgenic plants and seeds containing such constructs. The present invention is also directed to a method of using such constructs to impart to plants resistance to papaya ringspot virus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2006

  • Method to control the ripening of papaya fruit and confer disease resistance to papaya plants
    Patent number: 7071377
    Abstract: The present invention relates to DNA constructs which include DNA molecules which affect papaya fruit ripening and DNA molecules which encode papaya ringspot virus coat protein. The present invention further relates to a method of controlling papaya fruit ripening while conferring resistance to Papaya Ringspot Virus by transforming plants with the DNA construct. The present invention also relates to expression systems, host cells, and transgenic plants containing the DNA constructs of the invention.
