  • Method for promoting an increase in plant biomass, productivity, and drought resistance
    Patent number: 11525143
    Abstract: Described are methods for promoting increase in plant biomass and yield. This increase has its visible effects in organs such as leaf, stem, root and production of fruits and seeds. Further described is the increase in tolerance of those plants to drought, generating plants better adapted to the environmental changes, improving their growth, biomass and yield.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 4, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 13, 2022
    Assignee: Universidade Federal Do Rio De Janeiro

  • Plants having changed development and a method for making the same
    Patent number: 7902425
    Abstract: A method to change development of a plant or plant part, when compared to the wild-type plant or plant part, by increasing or decreasing expression in a plant or plant part of a cdc27a nucleic acid sequence and/or increasing or decreasing levels and/or activity in a plant of a CDC27A protein; a plant obtained by this method; a genetic construct for enacting the method; a food including the plant or plant part; an enzyme or pharmaceutical produced by the plant or plant part; and a method of making an enzyme or pharmaceutical by the plant or plant part.

  • Method of increasing yield in plants
    Patent number: 7622635
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of increasing yield in plants, comprising transforming a plant with a nucleic acid encoding a CDC27 polypeptide or homolog thereof having a N-terminal deletion operably linked to a promoter active in the plant, where 100 to 220 amino acids are deleted at the N-terminus of the CDC27 polypeptide.

  • Plant proteins
    Publication number: 20020164757
    Abstract: The present invention relates to at least partially purified protein, capable of modulating the DNA replication in plants, muteins thereof, DNA coding therefor and to a method to confer to one or more plant cells the capacity to provide such a protein or mutein. The invention also relates to plants, comprising the said DNA and the progeny thereof.
