  • Patent number: 11047014
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for quantifying levels of expression and/or quantifying copy number of a heterologous polynucleotide in a transgenic plant using quantitative or real-time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR or real-time PCR), wherein the real-time PCR is performed using a primer set specific to a heterologous terminator sequence operably linked to the heterologous polynucleotide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 29, 2021
    Inventors: Igor Cunha De Oliveira, Dennis O'Neill, Andrew Slattery, Jijun Zou

  • Publication number: 20140325704
    Abstract: The preparation and use of nucleic acid fragments useful in altering the oil phenotype in plants are disclosed. Chimeric construct incorporating such nucleic acid fragments and suitable regulatory sequences can be used to create transgenic plants having altered lipid profiles. Methods for altering the oil phenotype in plants using such nucleic acid fragments also are disclosed.
