  • BIOSENSORS FOR DROUGHT STRESS IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20220211037
    Abstract: Protein dimers that are modified to detect plant hormones are provided. In some embodiments, a protein dimer is provided comprising a first amino acid sequence and a second amino acid sequence, wherein the protein dimer dissociates in the presence of a plant hormone and the dissociation results in a detectable signal.

  • Stress tolerance and delayed senescence in plants
    Patent number: 8975473
    Abstract: The novel constructs and methods of this invention improve tolerance in plants to environmental stresses and senescence. Nucleic acids encoding a plant farnesyl transferase are described, as are transgenic plants and seeds incorporating these nucleic acids and proteins. Also provided are non-naturally occurring mutations in the gene encoding farnesyl transferase which enhance drought tolerance in the plants, improve resistance to senescence and modify growth habit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2008
    Date of Patent: March 10, 2015
    Assignee: Performance Plants, Inc.
    Inventors: Peter McCourt, Majid Ghassemian, Sean Cutler, Dario Bonetta
  • Stress Tolerance and Delayed Senescence in Plants
    Publication number: 20090293156
    Abstract: The novel constructs and methods of this invention improve tolerance in plants to environmental stresses and senescence. Nucleic acids encoding a plant farnesyl transferase are described, as are transgenic plants and seeds incorporating these nucleic acids and proteins. Also provided are inhibitors of naturally-occurring farnesyl transferase which, when expressed, will enhance drought tolerance in the plants, improve resistance to senescence and modify growth habit.
