  • Genes encoding sulfate assimilation proteins
    Patent number: 7176354
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a sulfate assimilation protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the sulfate assimilation protein, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the sulfate assimilation protein in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2007
    Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company

  • Plant metabolism genes
    Patent number: 6677502
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a GTP cyclohydrolase II/3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphate synthase protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a substantial portion of the protein, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the protein in a transformed host cell.
