Publication number: 20170247713Abstract: The present invention relates to identification and isolation of zinc finger transcription factor in tomato that specifically expresses in glandular trichomes of Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Moneymaker and binds to the promoters of the genes encoding Terpene Synthase 5 (also known as Monoterpene Synthase1) and Terpene Synthase 11 (also known as Sesquiterpene Synthase 1). The invention provides the isolated, recombinant or synthetic polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide sequences of SEQ ID NO:2 and variants and fragments thereof. The invention also provides constructs, vectors, host cells and plants genetically modified to contain the polynucleotides of the invention. The methods for producing plants with altered levels of terpenes, including transformed and mutant plants, are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Applicant: Keygene N.V.Inventors: Robert Cornelis SCHUURINK, Michael Albertus HARING, Eleni SPYROPOULOU

Patent number: 8674175Abstract: A new farnesene synthase was isolated from tomato. The farnesene synthase shows surprising properties with regard to the end products formed and its gene has, on a nucleotide level, low sequence identity with known farnesene synthase genes from other sources. The invention relates to isolated polynucleotides, polypeptides encoded by said polynucleotides, genetic constructs, vectors, hosts, in particular plants, harboring such polynucleotides, polypeptides and genetic constructs, and seed derived from such plants.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Keygene N.V.Inventors: Michiel Theodoor Jan de Both, Robert Cornelis Schuurink, Kai Ament, Michael Albertus Haring
