Patent number: 8124843Abstract: The present invention relates to methods to control the spread of recombinant DNA molecules between sexually compatible plants of differing genetic composition. The invention describes the production of transgenic plants that comprise recombinant traits of interest or concern linked to repressible lethal genes. The lethal genes are blocked by the action of repressor molecules produced by the expression of repressor genes located at a different genetic locus. The lethal phenotype is only expressed after the segregation of the repressible lethal gene construct and the repressor gene following meiosis. The present invention may be employed for both open-pollinated and hybrid seed production systems and may be used to maintain genetic purity by blocking unintended introgression of genes from plants devoid of the specific repressor gene.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2010Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Steven F. Fabijanski, Paul G. Arnison, Laurian Robert, Johann Schernthaner

Publication number: 20090186136Abstract: The present invention describes the fractionation and processing of seed of Saponaria vaccaria L, a species that can be grown on a large scale using conventional agricultural practices. The main products recovered are an extremely fine starch (0.5-1.5 ?m) and a plant extract comprising saponins, cyclopeptides and phenolic compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2008Publication date: July 23, 2009Applicant: Saponin Inc.Inventors: Nienke LINDEBOOM, Philip J.

Patent number: 7371935Abstract: Genetic constructs, transformation vectors and methods are taught for production of transgenic plants which can be selectively removed from a growing site by application of a chemical agent or physiological stress. The invention links a target gene for the trait of commercial interest to a conditionally lethal gene, which can be selectively expressed to cause plant death. By use of the genetic constructs, transformation vectors and methods of the present invention, invasion of environments and contamination of commercial non-engineered productions by transgenic plants can be avoided. Methods are also taught for transformation of Brassica species.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2004Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignees: National Research Council of Canada, Dow Agrosciences LLCInventors: Wilfred A. Keller, Steven F. Fabijanski, Paul G. Arnison, Joseph K. Hammerlindl, Steven R. Webb

Patent number: 6737560Abstract: A process is described for producing fertile hybrid seed or hybrid seed comprising fertile and sterile seed using male-sterile plants created by employing molecular techniques to manipulate anti-sense gene and other genes that are capable of controlling the production of fertile pollen in plants. Said plants are functionally male-sterile plants with pollen from male-fertile plants. Hybrid seed production is simplified and improved by this invention and can be extended to plant crop species for which commercially acceptable hybrid seed production methods are not currently available.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.Inventors: Steven F.
