Patent number: 11439073Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid between a leek and a garlic plant. More specifically, the invention relates to an interspecific hybrid plants resulting from a cross between an Allium ampeloprasum plant and an Allium sativum plant. Specifically, the present invention relates to Interspecific hybrid plants derived from a cross between an Allium ampeloprasum plant and an Allium sativum plant, wherein the hybrid plants are capable of producing seed and contains nuclear genomic material derived from both said Allium ampeloprasum plant and said Allium sativum plant, and further wherein the interspecific hybrid plants contain at least 250 mg/kg of allicin when determined in the white part of the leaf sheet of the plants and furthermore wherein the interspecific hybrid plants are obtainable, obtained or derived, from an interspecific hybrid plant as deposited under accession number NCIMB 42564.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Bejo Zaden B.V.Inventors: Kai Ament, Henricus Chretien Marie Louise Bongers, Marcel Adriaanse, Albertus Johannes Maria Schrijver

Publication number: 20160212991Abstract: The invention provides a method for controlling whiteflies which comprises the steps of: providing a composition comprising or consisting of R-curcumene and optionally further beta-myrcene, para-cymene, gamma-terpinene, alpha-terpinene, alpha-phellandrene zingiberene and/or 7-epi-zingiberene; and adding said composition one or more times to a plurality of crop plants. The method can be combined with the use of attractant compositions comprising beta-phellandrene, limonene and/or 2-carene, and optionally adding said composition one or more times to one or more trap plants and/or trap materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2016Publication date: July 28, 2016Applicant: Keygene N.V.Inventors: Petronella Martina BLEEKER, Kai AMENT, Paul Johan DIERGAARDE, Michiel Theodoor Jan de BOTH, Robert Cornelis SCHUURINK

Patent number: 8674175Abstract: A new farnesene synthase was isolated from tomato. The farnesene synthase shows surprising properties with regard to the end products formed and its gene has, on a nucleotide level, low sequence identity with known farnesene synthase genes from other sources. The invention relates to isolated polynucleotides, polypeptides encoded by said polynucleotides, genetic constructs, vectors, hosts, in particular plants, harboring such polynucleotides, polypeptides and genetic constructs, and seed derived from such plants.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Keygene N.V.Inventors: Michiel Theodoor Jan de Both, Robert Cornelis Schuurink, Kai Ament, Michael Albertus Haring
