  • Publication number: 20210079412
    Abstract: Materials and methods are provided for making plants (e.g., Triticum varieties) with increased levels of dietary fiber, such as by making TALE nuclease-induced mutations in alleles encoding starch branching enzyme IIa (SBEIIa) and starch branching enzyme IIb (SBEIIb).

  • Publication number: 20200002709
    Abstract: Materials and methods are provided for making plants (e.g., soybean varieties, wheat varieties, or corn varieties) with altered amino acid content. For example, materials and methods are provided for making TALE nuclease-induced mutations in genes encoding seed storage proteins, or by making TALE nuclease-induced deletions of within seed storage protein genes.

  • Patent number: 10131906
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the specific silencing of the ? (alpha), ? (beta), ? (gamma) and ? (omega)-gliadins of hard wheat for flour by RNA interference (RNAi) through employment of a polynucleotide which is transcribed into an hpRNA (hairpin RNA). Furthermore the present invention additionally relates to a vector, cell, plant or seed comprising the polynucleotide, the expression whereof is specifically directed in particular tissues of wheat seeds through gene expression-regulating sequences such as, for example, the promoter of a gene of ?-gliadins or the promoter of the gene encoding for a D-hordein.

  • Publication number: 20170175140
    Abstract: Provided herein are materials and methods for gene editing in eukaryotic cells (e.g., plant cells) by homologous recombination, including materials and methods for boosting the frequency of homologous recombination through the application of a 5?-exonuclease for end-processing of DNA double-strand breaks.
