  • Isolated transcription factors of and their application to obtain extreme temperature tolerating plants
    Patent number: 11910769
    Abstract: Provided is one gene CpRap2 isolated from Carica papaya identified as CpRap2.4b and that includes SEQ. ID NO: 2, as well as the genetic transformation methods for the overexpression of said gene and the obtaining of tolerant non-transgenic plants through grafts. Genetic transformation of plants that overexpress genes CpRap2 and their grafts showed they could survive extreme temperatures up to 12 days for heat and more than 30 days for cold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 27, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2024
    Assignee: CENTRO DE INVESTIGACIÓN CIENTÍFICA DE YUCATAN, A.C.
    Inventors: Luis Carlos Rodríguez Zapata, Luis Joel Figueroa Yañez, Alejandro Pereira Santana, Enrique Castaño De La Serna
  • Isolated transcription factors of Carica papaya and their application to obtain extreme temperature tolerating plants
    Patent number: 11292818
    Abstract: The hereby invention provides four genes CpRap2 isolated from Carica papaya identified as CpRap2.4a, CpRap2.4b, CpRap2.1, CpRap2.10 and that consist of SEQ. ID NO: 1, SEQ. ID NO: 2, SEQ. ID NO: 3 and SEQ. ID NO: 4, as well as the genetic transformation methods for the overexpression of these genes and the obtaining of tolerant non-transgenic plants through grafts. Genetic transformation of plants that overexpress genes CpRap2 and their grafts showed they could survive extreme temperatures up to 12 days for heat and more than 30 days for cold.
