  • Polyribozyme capable of conferring on plants resistance to viruses and resistant plants producing this polyribozyme
    Patent number: 6646117
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence, called “polyribozyme”, which has an endoribonuclease activity and is capable of inactivating the gene for the capsid protein of a virus, characterized in that it comprises: i) a sequence complementary to at least a part of the gene or its transcript or to its replication intermediates and, includes at distinct sites in this complementary sequence: ii) a plurality of ribozyme catalytic regions; iii) and, optionally, one or more sequences non-complementary to the transcript of the said gene, the said non-complementary sequence(s) being inserted between two consecutive bases of the complementary sequence.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 2000
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2003
    Assignee: Gene Shears. Pty. Limited
    Inventors: Philippe Lenee, Pascual Perez, Veronique Gruber, Gaelle Baudot, Catherine Ollivo

  • DNA sequences coding for a protein conferring male sterility
    Patent number: 6207883
    Abstract: This invention relates to a gene associated with male fertility, labeled Ms41-A, and a recessive mutant form thereof, labelled ms41-A, which confers male sterility. The Ms41-A gene is isolated from Arabidopsis, while the related gene Zm41-A is isolated from maize. Male-sterile plants are useful for the production of hybrid plants by sexual hybridization.
