Patent number: 10597666Abstract: The present invention relates to genetic constructs, which can be used in the preparation of transgenic plants. The constructs can have the ability of reducing nitrate concentration in the plant, in particular the plant's leaves. The invention extends to plant cells transformed with such constructs, and to the transgenic plants themselves. The invention also relates to methods of producing transgenic plants, and to methods of reducing nitrate content in plants. The invention also relates to harvested plant leaves, for example tobacco leaves, that have been transformed with the genetic constructs, and to various tobacco articles, such as smoking articles, comprising such harvested plant leaves.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: British American Tobacco (Investments) LimitedInventors: Susan Davenport, Pascaline Le Lay, Juan Pablo Sanchez Tamburrino

Patent number: 10472642Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reducing at least one tobacco-specific nitrosamine or a precursor thereof in tobacco comprising modifying the tobacco plant by increasing the activity or expression of a LBD (lateral organ bound domain) nitrogen-responsive transcription factor. The present invention also provides tobacco cells, tobacco plants, tobacco plant propagation materials, harvested leaves, processed tobaccos, or tobacco products obtainable in accordance with the invention.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: British American Tobacco (Investments) LimitedInventors: Pascaline Le Lay, Juan Pablo Sanchez Tamburrino

Patent number: 9708622Abstract: The present invention relates to genetic constructs, which can be used in the preparation of transgenic plants. The constructs can have the ability of reducing nitrate concentration in the plant, in particular the plant's leaves, and for inducing a senescence-like phenotype. The invention extends to plant cells transformed with such constructs, and to the transgenic plants themselves. The invention also relates to methods of producing transgenic plants, and to methods of reducing nitrate content in plants. The invention also relates to harvested plant leaves, for example tobacco leaves, that have been transformed with the genetic constructs, and to various tobacco articles, such as smoking articles, comprising such harvested plant leaves.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: British American Tobacco (Investments) LimitedInventors: Susan Davenport, Pascaline Le Lay, Juan Pablo Sanchez Tamburinno
