  • Transgenic plants expressing DNA constructs containing a plurality of genes to impart virus resistance
    Publication number: 20020059660
    Abstract: The present invention provides a chimeric recombinant DNA molecule comprising: a plurality of DNA sequences, each of which comprises a plant-functional promoter linked to a coding region, which encodes a virus-associated coat protein, wherein said DNA sequences are preferably linked in-tandem so that they are expressed in virus-susceptible plant cells transformed with said recombinant DNA molecule to impart resistance to said viruses; as well as methods for transforming plants with the chimeric constructs and for selecting plants which express at least one of said DNA sequences imparting viral resistance.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 9, 2001
    Publication date: May 16, 2002
    Inventors: David M. Tricoli, Kim J. Carney, Paul F. Russell, Hector D. Quemada, J. Russell McMaster, John F. Reynolds, Rosaline Z. Deng

  • Transgenic plants expressing ACC oxidase genes
    Patent number: 6043409
    Abstract: The cDNA and genomic DNA encoding the ACC oxidase of broccoli are provided along with recombinant materials containing antisense constructs of these DNA sequences to permit control of the level of ACC oxidase in and, thus, the maturation and aging of Brassica oleracea plants which allows one to influence, e.g., lengthen, the shelflife of these plants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 1997
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2000
    Assignee: Seminis Vegetable Seeds, Inc.
    Inventors: Maury L. Boeshore, Rosaline Z. Deng, Kim J. Camey, John F. Reynolds, Glen E. Ruttencutter
  • Transgenic plants expressing ACC synthase gene
    Patent number: 5998702
    Abstract: The genomic DNA encoding the ACC synthase of broccoli is provided along with recombinant materials containing constructs of this DNA sequence to permit control of the level of ACC synthase in and, thus, the maturation and aging of Brassica oleracea plants which allows one to influence, e.g. lengthen, the shelf-life of these plants.
