  • Method for preparing a genetically modified grass having infertileness
    Patent number: 8847007
    Abstract: A method is provided for preparing infertility-induced, genetically modified grass. It comprises a) exposing a flower of genetically modified grass to a physical mutagen; (b) culturing the genetically modified grass exposed to the physical mutagen to produce seeds thereof; and (c) culturing the seeds to select an infertility-induced species.
    Type: Grant

  • Organ preferential genes identified by T-DNA insertional mutagenesis of rice
    Publication number: 20060107344
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing rice lines that carry genes that have been modified by T-DNA/GUS based insertional mutagenesis. The GUS portion of the insert is promoterless, so that the GUS gene is expressed only when it is inserted into an active gene. In this way, organ preferential expression of various rice genes can be determined. The invention is also directed to the organ-preferential genes found by the T-DNA/GUS insertional mutagenesis method, as well as the proteins encoded by them. The invention also involves a database having information about the rice lines, such as the genes having the insert, the encoded proteins, the phenotypic characteristics of the mutant lines, and promoter activity of the tagged genes.
