  • Targeting of gluten by genome editing
    Patent number: 11879128
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for producing wheat lines that are low gliadin, low-gluten and transgene-free using genome editing. Also described are nucleic acid constructs and sgRNA molecules for use in genome editing, as well as genetically altered plants obtained by these methods.
    Type: Grant

  • Polynucleotide comprising sequences of wheat gliadins and use thereof for silencing by RNAi
    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.
