Patent number: 11730133Abstract: High yield sesame plants and parts thereof are provided. Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of many sesame varieties was performed to derive markers for phenotypic traits that contribute to high yield, and a breeding simulation was used to identify the most common and most stable markers. Examples for such phenotypic traits include the number of capsules per leaf axil, the capsule length, the height to first capsule and the number of lateral shoots. Following verification of trait stability over several generations, markers and marker cassettes were defined as being uniquely present in the developed sesame lines. The resulting high yield, shatter-resistant sesame lines can be used to increase sesame yield for its various uses.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: EQUI-NOM LTDInventors: Itay Zemach, Menachem Sklarz, Oswald Crasta

Patent number: 11395470Abstract: Sesame plants with high oil content and/or high yield, and parts thereof are provided. Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of many sesame varieties were performed to derive markers for phenotypic traits that contribute to high oil content and/or high yield, and a breeding simulation was used to identify the most common and most stable markers. Examples for such phenotypic traits include the oil content as measured by near infrared spectroscopy, and yield traits related to plant morphology, number of capsules and the size of the seeds. Following verification of trait stability over several generations, markers and marker cassettes were defined as being uniquely present in the developed sesame lines. The resulting high oil content and/or high yield, shatter-resistant sesame lines can be used to increase sesame oil production for its various uses.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2021Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: EQUI-NOM LTD.Inventors: Itay Zemach, Menachem Sklarz, Oswald Crasta

Patent number: 6835569Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides of the enzyme APAO isolated from Exophiala spinifera. Additionally, the polynucleotide encoding for the APAO enzyme can be used to transform plant cells normally susceptible to Fusarium or other toxin-producing fungus infection. Plants can be regenerated from the transformed plant cells. Additionally, the present invention provides for expressing both APAO and a fumonisin esterase in a transgenic plant. In this way, a transgenic plant can be produced with the capability of degrading fumonisin, as well as with the capability of producing the degrading enzymes.

Publication number: 20030170661Abstract: The present invention provides methods by which biologically derived DNA sequences in a mixed sample or in an arrayed single sequence clone can be determined and classified without sequencing. The methods make use of information on the presence of carefully chosen target subsequences, typically of length from 4 to 8 base pairs, the length between target subsequences, and the measurement of the presence or absence of at least one additional target subsequence in a sample DNA sequence together with DNA sequence databases containing lists of sequences likely to be present in the sample to determine a sample sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2002Publication date: September 11, 2003Inventors: Yi Liu, Pascal Bouffard, Oswald Crasta
