  • PM29 and LEA3 promoters and use in expression of transgenic genes in plants
    Patent number: 7169969
    Abstract: The promoters of a soybean seed maturation protein PM29 and a soybean late-embryogenesis abundant protein LEA3 and fragments thereof and their use in promoting the expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments in plants are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2005
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2007
    Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Zhan-Bin Liu, Johan M. Stoop
  • Fructan biosynthetic enzymes
    Patent number: 6791015
    Abstract: This invention relates to isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding fructosyltransferases. More specifically, this invention relates to polynucleotides encoding 1-FFTs, 6-SFTs, or 1-SSTs. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant DNA constructs encoding all or a portion of the fructosyltransferases, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the fructosyltransferases in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2004
    Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Stephen M. Allen, Perry G. Caimi, Johan M. Stoop
  • Product of novel fructose polymers in embryos of transgenic plants
    Publication number: 20040073975
    Abstract: This invention includes a recombinant DNA molecule comprising a sequence for a fructosyltransferase capable of producing a novel fructan, a method for producing transgenic plants exhibiting a novel fructan, transformed plants and plant parts comprising said novel fructan, and products prepared therefrom.
