  • Method of introducing symbiotic fungus into plant
    Patent number: 8017111
    Abstract: A method of introducing a symbiotic fungus producing one chanoclavine as a final metabolic product into a plant, includes the steps of isolating symbiotic fungi from naturally existing plants, artificially cultivating the isolated symbiotic fungi, introducing the cultivated symbiotic fungi into target plants, infecting the target plants with the introduced symbiotic fungi, determining whether the introduced symbiotic fungi infecting the target plants produce the chanoclavine as the final metabolic product, and selecting the target plants which produce the chanoclavine as the final metabolic product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2011
    Assignee: Mayekawa Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
