Patent number: 11420806Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the storability of seeds, comprising storing the seeds in the presence of an oxygen absorber. Preferably, the seeds are stored in a closed container. In a first embodiment, the oxygen absorber does not remove moisture from inside the container. In another embodiment, the oxygen absorber does remove moisture from inside the container. The seeds can be stored at a temperature between freezer temperature and the temperature at which the seeds lose their viability. Upon storing seeds according to the invention the storage temperature can be much higher.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: RIJK ZWAAN ZAADTEELT EN ZAADHANDEL B.V.Inventor: Eric Roland Coppoolse

Patent number: 11414671Abstract: The present invention relates to a seed comprising in its genome a modified NXS gene and/or modified regulatory sequences thereof. The modified NXS gene and/or modified regulatory sequences thereof provides the seed with the capability to germinate at a high temperature as compared to a wild type seed not having the modified NXS gene. The modification to the gene and/or its regulatory sequences may lead to the expression of the NXS gene being substantially reduced or prevented. In addition to or alternatively, the seed can have a reduced level, reduced activity or complete absence of NXS protein. The modified NXS gene may for example comprise a premature stop codon and/or encode an NXS protein that comprises one or more amino acid substitutions.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: RIJK ZWAAN ZAADTEELT EN ZAADHANDEL B.V.Inventors: Eric Roland Coppoolse, Miriam Post
