Patent number: 8829274Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preparing poly-unsaturated long chain fatty acids in plants, plant parts and plant cells, such as leaves, roots, fruits and seeds. Nucleic acid sequences and constructs encoding PKS-like genes required for the poly-unsaturated long chain fatty acid production, including the genes responsible for eicosapentenoic acid production of Shewanella putrefaciens and novel genes associated with the production of docosahexenoic acid in Vibrio marinus are used to generate transgenic plants, plant parts and cells which contain and express one or more transgenes encoding one or more of the PKS-like genes associated with such long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid production. Expression of the PKS-like genes in the plant system permits the large scale production of poly-unsaturated long chain fatty acids such as eicosapentenoic acid and docosahexenoic acid for modification of the fatty acid profile of plants, plant parts and tissues.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2007Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: DSM IP Assets B.V.Inventors: Daniel Facciotti, James George Metz, Michael Lassner

Patent number: 4743548Abstract: Microinjection techniques for plant protoplasts utilize a holding pipette for immobilizing the protoplast while an injection pipette is utilized to inject the macromolecule. In order to manipulate the protoplasts without damage, the protoplasts are cultured for from about 1 to 5 days before the injection is performed to allow for partial regeneration of the cell wall. It was found that injection through the partially regenerated cell wall could still be accomplished and particular compartments of the cell could be targeted. The methods are particularly useful for transformation of plant protoplasts with exogenous genes.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1985Date of Patent: May 10, 1988Assignee: Calgene, Inc.Inventors: Anne Crossway, Daniel Facciotti
