  • REGULATORY SEQUENCES FOR EXPRESSING GENE PRODUCTS IN PLANT REPRODUCTIVE TISSUE
    Publication number: 20160222402
    Abstract: Expression cassettes causing specific regulatory control of transgene expression in plants, wherein the expression cassettes include regulatory sequences from the MADS gene family for expression of recombinant gene products in the reproductive tissue of plants for the purpose of generating abiotic stress tolerant plants.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: August 4, 2016
    Applicant: SYNGENTA PARTICIPATIONS AG
    Inventors: Michael L. NUCCIO, Lawrence Mark LAGRIMINI, Moez Rajabali MEGHJI
  • Peroxidase gene sequences
    Patent number: 6278041
    Abstract: A anionic peroxidase gene sequence is isolated from Nicotiana tomentisiformis. In addition, synthetic Nicotiana tomentisiformis and Nicotiana sylvestris peroxidase gene sequences are optimized for expression in plants. The peroxidase gene sequences may be expressed in transgenic plants to control insects.

  • Methods for conferring insect resistance to a monocot using a perioxidase coding sequence
    Patent number: 6002068
    Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to methods and compositions for controlling insects in monocotyledonous plants (monocots), particularly maize. More precisely, the present invention relates to (1) a method for controlling insects comprising feeding or contacting an insect with an insecticidal amount of transgenic monocotyledonous plant cells comprising a recombinant DNA sequence comprising a coding sequence encoding peroxidase and (2) a fertile transgenic monocot plant comprising a recombinant DNA sequence comprising a coding sequence encoding peroxidase.
    Type: Grant
