  • Nepenthesin-1 derived resistance to fungal pathogens in major crop plants
    Patent number: 11549124
    Abstract: The invention relates to a genetically modified cereal plant having a recombinant DNA construct comprising a gene encoding a polypeptide having aspartyl protease activity (EC 3.4.23.12) whose expression, particularly in grain, confers enhanced fungal disease resistance as compared to a parent cereal plant from which said genetically modified cereal plant was derived. The invention further relates to a method for producing a genetically modified cereal plant of the invention comprising transforming one or more cells of a parent cereal plant with the recombinant DNA construct; as well as a method for manufacturing the genetically modified grain for production of a crop of genetically modified cereal plants which exhibit increased resistance to a fungal disease due to expression of the recombinant DNA construct.

  • ANTHOCYANIN BIOSYNTHESIS IN CARROT PLANTS
    Publication number: 20220275385
    Abstract: The present invention provides transgenic carrot plants comprising at least one heterologous DNA sequence encoding: (a) a promoter of a transcription factor gene; or (b) a transcription factor geneoperably linked to a promoter; wherein the heterologous DNA sequence increases the expression of at least one gene encoding a sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT). The transcription factor gene is preferably DcMYB90 (SEQ ID NO:1) or DcEGL1 (SEQ ID NO:2) or a sequence having at least 80% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or at least 80% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the sequence encodes a transcription factor protein increasing the expression of sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT) having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.
