Publication number: 20170335336Abstract: A method for the transformation of sugar beet protoplasts includes obtaining protoplasts from stomatal guard cells isolated from a sugar beet plant. The protoplasts are transformed with a nucleic acid construct including a nucleotide sequence of interest and a selection marker sequence. One or more ALS inhibitors at a concentration that is lethal to the in vitro culture of the protoplasts are applied to an in vitro culture of the protoplasts. Sugar beet plants are regenerated from the surviving protoplasts having integrated the nucleic acid construct including the sequence of interest and the selection marker sequence. The selection marker sequence is the mutated BvALS113 sequence carrying in its sequence a mutation at amino acid 113 position from Alanine to Tyrosine.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Guy WEYENS, Marc LEFÉBVRE, Shivegowda THAMMANNAGOWDA, Murielle LOMMEL

Publication number: 20170121723Abstract: A method for transformation of sugar beet protoplasts includes obtaining protoplasts from stomatal guard cells isolated from a sugar beet plant. The protoplasts are transformed with a nucleic acid construct including a nucleotide sequence of interest and Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALEN) or one or more vectors including sequences encoding these Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALEN)sequences. The TALEN target and process a target sequence and replace the target sequence through homologous recombination with the nucleic acid construct including the nucleotide sequence of interest, -possibly applying to an in vitroculture of the protoplasts, a medium that is toxic, preferably lethal to the in vitroculture of the protoplasts.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2015Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: Guy WEYENS, Marc LEFÉBVRE, Shivegowda THAMMANNAGOWDA, Murielle LOMMEL

Patent number: 7645579Abstract: A herbicide resistant transformed sugar beet that is detectable by the specific primers developed to match the DNA sequences that flank the left and/or right border region of the inserted transgenic DNA and the method of identifying primer pairs containing plant genomic DNA/plasmid DNA. More specifically, the present invention covers a specific glyphosate resistant sugar beet plant having an insertion of the transgenic material identified as the T227-1 event. The present invention additionally covers primer pairs: plant genomic DNA/Plasmid DNA that are herein identified. Additionally, these primer pairs for either the left or the right flanking regions make an event specific test for the T227-1 insert of transgenic material.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2007Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: SES Europe N.V./S.A.Inventors: Guy Weyens, Steve Barnes, Inge Rosquin

Patent number: 5969215Abstract: Plants may be regenerated from stomatal cells or protoplasts of such cells. Prior to regeneration the cells or protoplasts may be genetically transformed by the introduction of hereditary material most preferably by a DNA construct which is free of genes which specify resistance to antibiotics. The regeneration step may include callus formation on a hormone-free medium. The method is particularly suitable for sugar beet.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1996Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: Zeneca LimitedInventors: Robert David Hall, Franciscus Andries Krens, Henricus Adrianus Verhoeven, Maria Colijn-Hooymans, James Martin Dunwell, Guy Weyens
