  • Patent number: 10131906
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the specific silencing of the ? (alpha), ? (beta), ? (gamma) and ? (omega)-gliadins of hard wheat for flour by RNA interference (RNAi) through employment of a polynucleotide which is transcribed into an hpRNA (hairpin RNA). Furthermore the present invention additionally relates to a vector, cell, plant or seed comprising the polynucleotide, the expression whereof is specifically directed in particular tissues of wheat seeds through gene expression-regulating sequences such as, for example, the promoter of a gene of ?-gliadins or the promoter of the gene encoding for a D-hordein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 20, 2018
    Assignee: CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS
    Inventors: Francisco Barro Losada, Fernando Pistón Pistón, Javier Gil Humanes, Antonio Martin Muñoz
