Production of modified fatty acids in plants through rDNA targeted integration of heterologous genes
Patent number: 10081815Abstract: The present invention relates to transgenic plants comprising a plurality of nucleic acids heterologous to said plant, each of said nucleic acid comprising a coding sequence operably linked to one or more regulatory elements for directing expression of said coding sequence in said plant, said nucleic acid being stably integrated at or adjacent to rDNA sequences, or a seed, organ, tissue, part or cell thereof, or a descendant of said plant, seed, organ, tissue, part or cell; methods of producing the transgenic plants; and methods of producing oil using the transgenic plants.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Agrisoma Biosciences Inc.Inventors: Steven Fabijanski, Michael Lindenbaum, Ping Fu, Elizabeth-France Marillia -
Patent number: 9896694Abstract: The invention provides chimeric DGAT1 proteins comprising: a) at their N-terminal ends, an N-terminal portion of a first DGAT1 protein, and b) at their C-terminal ends, a C-terminal portion of a second DGAT1 protein. The chimeric DGAT proteins show enhanced activity relative to at least one of the first DGAT1 protein and the second DGAT1 protein. The chimeric DGAT proteins of the invention can be expressed in cells to increase cellular lipid accumulation and/or modify the cellular lipid profile. The invention also provides polynucleotides encoding the chimeric DGAT1 proteins, cells and compositions comprising the polynucleotides or chimeric DGAT1 proteins, and methods using the chimeric DGAT1 proteins to produce oil.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2013Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignees: Agresearch Limited, National Research Council of CanadaInventors: Nicholas John Roberts, Amy Christina Curran, Somrutai Winichayakul, Marissa Roldan, Richard William Scott, David Charles Taylor, Elizabeth-France Marillia
