  • RECOMBINANT ACYL ACTIVATING ENZYME (AAE) GENES FOR ENHANCED BIOSYNTHESIS OF CANNABINOIDS AND CANNABINOID PRECURSORS
    Publication number: 20220186231
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides recombinant host cells comprising a pathway capable of producing a cannabinoid and/or cannabinoid precursor, wherein the pathway comprises an enzyme AAE from a source organism other than Cannabis sativa, such as Humulus lupulus. The disclosure also provides methods of using the host cells to produce rare cannabinoids and/or rare cannabinoid precursors.

  • Methods for increasing oil content in plant tissues by suppressing hydrophobic lipid droplet protein
    Patent number: 10308950
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to increasing oil content in plants through manipulating expression of proteins, namely At5g16550 proteins. At5g16550 proteins are lipid droplet proteins. Plants having reduced expression of At5g16550 proteins demonstrate cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs) that are increased in size, resulting in greater overall oil content in the plant cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2019
    Assignees: University of North Texas, The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
