Publication number: 20090265813Abstract: Transcription factor polynucleotides and polypeptides incorporated into expression vectors have been introduced into plants and were ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these expression vectors have been shown to be more resistant to disease (in some cases, to more than one pathogen), or more tolerant to an abiotic stress (in some cases, to more than one abiotic stress). The abiotic stress may include salt, hyperosmotic stress, heat, cold, drought, or low nitrogen conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: Mendel Biotechnology , Inc.Inventors: Neal I.

Publication number: 20090151015Abstract: Disease-inducible promoter sequences have been identified that may be used to produce transgenic plants that are both more resistant to disease than control plants, and are wild-type or nearly wild type in appearance. Any of these disease-inducible promoters may be incorporated into expression vectors that each comprise a defense response protein operably linked to the promoter. The expression vectors can be introduced into plants and the defense response protein then ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these expression vectors have been shown to be more resistant to disease, in some cases, to more than one type of pathogen, and yet are similar to wild type plants in their morphology and development.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Applicant: MENDEL BIOTECHNOLOGY, INCInventors: Luc Adam, T. Lynne Reuber, Karen S. Century

Publication number: 20090138981Abstract: Transcription factor polynucleotides and polypeptides incorporated into nucleic acid constructs, including expression vectors, have been introduced into plants and were ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these constructs have been shown to be more resistant to disease (in some cases, to more than one pathogen), or more tolerant to an abiotic stress (in some cases, to more than one abiotic stress). The abiotic stress may include, for example, salt, hyperosmotic stress, water deficit, heat, cold, drought, or low nutrient conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2008Publication date: May 28, 2009Applicant: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: Peter P.

Publication number: 20080301836Abstract: The invention relates to a method for selection of modified plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, and methods of producing transgenic plants having advantageous properties, including increased biotic resistance and abiotic stress tolerance, as compared to wild-type or control plants. Without modifications, the transcription factor sequences, when overexpressed in plants, often produce adverse morphological and developmental effects. The disclosed method allows selection of modifications that mitigate these adverse morphological and developmental effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2008Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: Karen S.

Publication number: 20080163397Abstract: The present invention provides nucleic acid constructs, including plasmids, expression vectors or expression cassettes comprising polynucleotides encoding CCAAT-binding transcription factor polypeptides that have the ability to increase a plant's tolerance to abiotic stress. Polynucleotides encoding functional CCAAT-binding transcription factors were incorporated into expression vectors, introduced into plants, and ectopically expressed. The encoded polypeptides of the invention significantly increased the cold and water deficit tolerance of the transgenic plants, as compared to tolerance to these stresses of control plants.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: July 3, 2008Applicant: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: Oliver J.
