Patent number: 7029908Abstract: The invention provides novel Ti-plasmid vectors for Agrobacterium-medicated plant cell transformation. Plamsids of the invention are constructed with a DNA sequence (ie., a negative selectable maker or a DNA sequence that inhibits DNA unwinding) flanking the T-DNA bordered gene of interest that reduces or eliminates the occurrence of transformants with vector read-through DNA sequence. The invention also provides methods of plant cell transformation utilizing these novel vectors.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1999Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Syngenta Mogen BVInventors: Maarten Hendrik Stuiver, Anne Silene Ponstein, Stephan Andreas Ohl, Oscar Johanna Maria Goddijn, Lambertus Henricus Simons, Bernardus Martinus Maria Dekker, Sietske Hoekstra, Hendrik Tigelaar, Nicolas Elzinga

Patent number: 6774281Abstract: The invention comprises a method for the induction of pathogen resistance in plants characterized by transforming a plant with a polynucleotide sequence comprising a pathogen inducible promoter which regulates the expression of a plant signal transduction protein or a homologue thereof which when constitutively expressed gives rise to a hypersensitive response in plants. Alternatively, the invention comprises a method for the induction of pathogen resistance in plants characterized by transforming a plant with a polynucleotide sequence comprising a pathogen inducible promoter which regulates the expression of a compound which is able to alleviate the inhibitory effect of a protein on the signal transduction pathway leading to a hypersensitive response in plants.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2000Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: Syngenta Mogen BVInventors: Maarten Hendrik Stuiver, Jerôme Hubertina Henricus Victor Custers, Lambertus Henricus Simons

Publication number: 20040097596Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for introducing and/or improving plant resistance to the attack and/or spread of fungal pathogens. The method comprises applying at least one anti-fungal compound to a plant or plant part that has been genetically modified using recombinant DNA technology. The method results in a synergistic effect, as determined using Colby's formula, between the anti-fungal compound and the genetically modified plant or plant part which leads to improve resistance relative to control plants.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2002Publication date: May 20, 2004Inventors: Maarten Hendrik Stuiver, Naomi Pain

Patent number: 6465636Abstract: This invention describes pathogen-inducible promoters which normally drive expression of plant hexose oxidases, especially those which can be isolated from Helianthus annuus and Lactuca sativa, more specifically those promoters which naturally are the regulatory regions driving expression of the hexose oxidase MS59 and WL64, respectively. Also claimed are chimeric constructs where these pathogen-inducible promoters drive expression of antipathogenic proteins or of proteins which can elicit a hypersensitive response.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: Zeneca Mogen B.V.Inventors: Maarten Hendrik Stuiver, Jerôme Hubertina Henricus Victor Custers, Lambertus Henricus Simons
