  • Patent number: 9556449
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and regards various polynucleotides, polypeptides and methods that may be employed to enhance yield in transgenic plants. Specifically the transgenic plants may exhibit any one of the traits consisting of increased yield, increased tolerance to abiotic stress, increased cell growth and increased nutrient use efficiency.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080045702
    Abstract: The invention provides polynucleotides, preferably synthetic polynucleotides, which encode processing enzymes that are optimized for expression in plants. The polynucleotides encode mesophilic, thermophilic, or hyperthermophilic processing enzymes, which are activated under suitable activating conditions to act upon the desired substrate. Also provided are “self-processing” transgenic plants, and plant parts, e.g., grain, which express one or more of these enzymes and have an altered composition that facilitates plant and grain processing. Methods for making and using these plants, e.g., to produce food products having improved taste and to produce fermentable substrates for the production of ethanol and fermented beverages are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20060286621
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods of the detection of enzymatically active enzymes in feed added in the pre-pelleting stage. Further, this invention relates to the field of detecting thermotolerant enzymes added to feed in the pre-pelleting stage. In particular, the invention relates to the detection of a phytase enzyme, in particular an E. coli phytase or an E. coli derived phytase in feed, such as Quantum™ Phytase.

  • Publication number: 20060282917
    Abstract: The present invention relates to modified starch, as well as production and uses thereof. The starch has modified properties of viscosity and a modified phosphate content. The present invention also relates to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a codon-optimized form of a maize R1 protein set forth in SEQ ID NO:1.
