  • Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and uses thereof
    Patent number: 6710227
    Abstract: Provided are DNA sequences encoding cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor(s) as well as to methods for obtaining the same. Furthermore, vectors comprising said DNA sequences are described, wherein the DNA sequences are operatively linked to regulatory elements allowing expression in prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic host cells. In addition, proteins encoded by said DNA sequences, antibodies to said proteins and methods for their production are provided. Furthermore, regulatory sequences which naturally regulate the expression of the above described DNA sequences are described. Also described is a method for controlling or altering growth characteristics of a plant and/or a plant cell comprising introduction and/or expression of one or more cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor(s) functional in a plant or parts thereof and/or one or more DNA sequences encoding such proteins.

  • Method and means for modulating plant cell cycle proteins and their use in plant cell growth control
    Publication number: 20030014777
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new Arabidopsis thaliana nucleotide sequence and polypeptide sequence having a molecular weight of about 10.5 kDa.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 22, 2002
    Publication date: January 16, 2003
    Inventors: Dirk Inze, Gerda Segers, Lieven De Veylder, Vladimir Mironov
  • Method and means for modulating plant cell cycle proteins and their use in plant cell growth control
    Patent number: 6465718
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new Arabidopsis thaliana nucleotide sequence and polypeptide sequence having a molecular weight of about 10.5 kDa. Modulation of the expression of the polypeptides encoded by the nucleotide sequences according to the invention has an advantageous influence on plant cell division characteristics especially on the endoreduplication whereby plant cell size and storage capacity of plant cells is influenced.
