Patent number: 8674177Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying and isolating native plant nucleic acid sequences that may function as T-DNAs or T-DNA border-like sequences, effecting the transfer of one polynucleotide into another polynucleotide. The present invention also provides a modified tuber, such as a genetically modified mature tuber, that comprises at least one trait that is not exhibited by a non-modified tuber of the same species.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: J.R. Simplot CompanyInventors: Caius Rommens, Jingsong Ye, Jaime Menendez-Humara, Hua Yan, Kathy Swords

Patent number: 7619138Abstract: The present invention relates to a new plant breeding process. The process improves the agronomic performance of crop plants by using genetic material that is also used in classical breeding. Instead of sexually recombining entire genomes at random, as is done in classical breeding, specific genetic elements are rearranged in vitro and inserted back into individual plant cells. Plants obtained through this new plant breeding process do not contain foreign nucleic acid but only contain nucleic acid from the plant species selected for transformation or plants that are sexually compatible with the selected plant species. Plants developed through this new plant breeding process are provided. In particular, potato plants displaying improved tuber storage and health characteristics are provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2006Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: J. R. Simplot CompanyInventors: Caius Rommens, Jingsong Ye, Jaime Menendez-Humara, Hua Yan, Craig Richael, W. Leigh Brinkerhoff, Kathy M. M. Swords
