  • Gibberellin 2-oxidase
    Patent number: 8084668
    Abstract: A nucleic acid sequence is provided which encodes a gibberellin 2-oxidase gene which catalyses the 2?-oxidation of a gibberellin molecule to introduce a hydroxyl group at C-2 and further catalyses the oxidation of the hydroxyl group introduced at C-2 to yield the ketone derivative. Such sequences can find application in the preparation of transgenic plants with altered levels of gibberellin 2-oxidase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2011
    Assignee: Rothamsted Research Limited
    Inventors: Stephen Gregory Thomas, Peter Hedden, Andrew Leonard Phillips
