  • Use of the maize X112 mutant ahas 2 gene and imidazolinone herbicides for selection of transgenic monocots, maize, rice and wheat plants resistant to the imidazolinone herbicides
    Patent number: 6653529
    Abstract: A system for transformation of maize XI12 mutant ahas2 gene into monocot (rice, corn, and wheat) cells, selection of transformed cells with the imidazolinone class of herbicide compound, and production of transgenic maize, rice and wheat plants resistant to the imidazolinone herbicides is described. The mutant ahas2 gene can be used as an effective selectable marker in transformation, useful in selection for stacked gene traits, useful as a selectable marker in breeding or hybrid seed production, and useful as a quality control tool.

  • Commercial use of arabidopsis for production of human and animal therapeutic and diagnostic proteins
    Publication number: 20030084484
    Abstract: The invention provides methods that make it possible to take advantage of various growth parameters of Arabidopsis in order to grow dense populations of the plant in controlled indoor environments for the purpose of harvesting the biomass and isolating proteins, particularly recombinant proteins suitably for pharmaceutical applications.
