  • Nucleotide Sequences and Polypeptides Encoded Thereby Useful for Increasing Plant Size and Increasing the Number and Size of Leaves
    Publication number: 20070250962
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby are described, together with the use of those products for making transgenic plants that are characterized by increased size, have an increased number and size of rosette leaves and are late-flowering.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 18, 2003
    Publication date: October 25, 2007
    Applicant: Cerse, Inc.
    Inventors: Kenneth Feldmann, Roger Pennell, Shing Kwok, Dang Van-Dinh, Hongyu Zhang
  • Nucleotide sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby useful for producing transformed plants expressing lethal/nonviability genes
    Publication number: 20070101460
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby are described, together with the use of those products for making transgenic plants that are characterized by producing seeds that are not viable, not fertile, are not capable of germinating, or are otherwise not capable of regenerating into mature plants.
    Type: Application

  • Methods for modifying plant characteristics
    Publication number: 20060021089
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides, polypeptides, and transgenic plants are described. The transgenic plants can exhibit one or more altered phenotypic characteristics relative to a control plant, including increased height, increased seed weight, increased photosynthetic rates, decreased levels of campestanol, or increased levels of 6-deoxocathasterone.
