  • Transgenic plants with reduced expression of AMADH2 and elevated levels of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline
    Patent number: 9057049
    Abstract: The aromatic compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline-is the major potent flavor component of all aromatic rice and other plants. This present invention provides transgenic plants in which 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is synthesized at a level greater than in naturally occurring non-aromatic varieties. The transgenic plants have reduced expression of the Os2AP gene and protein, resulting in an aromatic phenotype.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2015
    Assignees: Kasetsart University, National Science and Technology Development Agency
    Inventors: Apichart Vanavichit, Somvong Tragoonrung, Theerayut Toojinda, Samart Wanchana, Wintai Kamolsukyunyong, Siwaret Arikit

  • Nucleic acids that enhance the synthesis of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline in plants and fungi
    Publication number: 20060168679
    Abstract: The aromatic compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP) is the major potent flavor component of all aromatic rice. This present invention provides non-naturally occurring plants in which 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is synthesized at a level greater than in naturally occurring non-aromatic varieties. Also provided are nucleic acids that can be used as molecular markers for selecting plants and fungi which synthesize a greater level of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline.
