  • SCREENING METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING GENES INVOLVED IN PLANT CELL CYCLE
    Publication number: 20110314573
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening proteins related to and/or involved in plant cell cycle. It further relates to proteins isolated with the method and the use of those proteins and/or the genes encoding those proteins for modulating plant yield and plant growth.

  • Seed shattering
    Patent number: 6797861
    Abstract: “The present invention relates to DNA sequences, comprising nucleic acid fragments encoding dehiscence zone-selective proteins, particularly cell wall hydrolases such as polygalacturonases, and their use for modifying dehiscence properties in plants, more particularly pod dehiscence properties in Brassica napus.

  • Purine derivatives, process for their preparation and use thereof
    Publication number: 20030187261
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new purine derivatives and their deaza- and aza-analogues, methods for preparing said derivatives, and to their use in suitable utilities, in particular their use in diagnostics and therapeutic methods. The invention relates in particular to purine derivatives with an inhibitory effect on for example cyclin-dependent kinase proteins (sdks), viruses, and proliferation of haemotapoietic and cancer cells.

  • Seed shattering
    Publication number: 20020184660
    Abstract: A plant is provided which contains at least one dehiscence zone (DZ)-selective chimeric gene incorporated in the nuclear genome of its cells, wherein said DZ-selective chimeric gene comprises the following operably linked DNA fragments:

  • Seed shattering
    Patent number: 6420628
    Abstract: A plant is provided which contains at least one dehiscence zone (DZ)-selective chimeric gene incorporated in the nuclear genome of its cells, wherein said DZ-selective chimeric gene comprises the following operably linked DNA fragments: a) a transcribed DNA region encoding: 1) a RNA which, when produced in cells of a particular DZ of the plant, prevents, inhibits or reduces the expression in DZ cells of an endogenous gene of the plant encoding a cell wall hydrolase, particularly an endopolygalacturonase, or, 2) a protein or polypeptide, which when produced in DZ cells, kills or disables them or interferes with their normal metabolism, physiology or development; b) a plant expressible promoter which directs expression of transcribed DNA region at least in DZ cells, provided that if transcribed DNA region encodes a protein or polypeptide, or encodes an antisense RNA or ribozyme directed to a sense RNA encoded by an endogenous gene that is expressed in plant in cells other than DZ cells, plant expressible promot
