  • Modified 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) nanobubbles
    Patent number: 11957133
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the generation of food grade sugar modified 1-MCP nanobubbles ranging in size from 50 to 600 nm. These nanobubbles have a high degree of stability while in aqueous solution and can inhibit the action of ethylene in different biological processes. In addition, they can reduce the action of ethylene in plant metabolism, making the plant less susceptible to water stress, low temperature stress, and stress from soil conditions, among others. This disclosure also relates to the method of preparing sugar modified 1-MCP nanobubbles, their different uses and applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignees: Nanotec S. A., Universidad Andrés Bello
    Inventors: Marlene Arismendi-Macuer, Patricio Jarpa, Danilo González, Reinaldo Campos Vargas

  • Characterization of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene in wounded lettuce tissue
    Patent number: 6897357
    Abstract: The invention provides phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) sequences, and constructs and methods related thereto. In one aspect, Lactuca sativa PAL sequences are isolated and characterized. The invention also provides novel sequences associated with PAL polynucleotide sequences and methods using recombinant techniques to express proteins from such sequences. In addition, methods are provided for using such sequences to transform host cells and alter wound induced gene activity or expression.
