  • Rice plants with altered seed phenotype and quality
    Patent number: 10485196
    Abstract: The invention relates to plants with an improved organ phenotype. In particular, the invention relates to rice plants which have better grain quality and altered seed phenotype due to increased expression of GW7 (LOC_Os07g41200) or due to a combination of increased expression of GW7 and reduced expression of GS3 (OsSPL16). Grains show increased length and increased slenderness.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2019
    Assignee: THE INSTITUTE OF GENETICS AND DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCINCES
    Inventors: Xiangdong Fu, Shaokui Wang, Kun Wu, Qian Liu, Shan Li

  • SPL16 compositions and methods to increase agronomic performance of plants
    Patent number: 9688984
    Abstract: Methods and compositions that affect grain shape, width, and yield in rice are disclosed. Methods of transgenic modulation and marker-assisted breeding methods improve grain length to width ratio and grain yield in rice. Down-regulation of OsSPL16 in rice resulted in increased grain quality.
