  • Isolated plant gene encoding a ? amyrin synthase
    Patent number: 7186884
    Abstract: Disclosed are isolated ?-amyrin synthase-encoding cDNA and genomic nucleic acids, which are involved in saponin synthesis. Also provided are complementary sequences, vectors, transformed host cells, transformed plants, and methods for influencing or affecting triterpene synthesis, and hence resistance to a fungal pathogen of a plant using ?-amyrin synthase encoding nucleic acids.
    Type: Grant

  • Plant gene
    Publication number: 20030177518
    Abstract: Disclosed are isolated &bgr;-amyrin synthase-encoding cDNA and gDNA nucleic acids. The genes are involved in saponin synthesis. One preferred embodiment is the nucleotide sequence which encodes the polypeptide of Annex II. Also provided are variant sequences (e.g. alleles, derivatives) and complementary sequences, plus vectors, host cells, plants, polypeptides, and associated processes of production and methods of use e.g. for influencing or affecting triterpene synsthesis, and hence the resistance to a fungal pathogen, taste, palatability or nutritional value of the plant. Also provided is the &bgr;-amyrin synthase promoter sequence and variants and uses thereof.
