  • Cytoprotective compounds, pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations, and methods
    Patent number: 7629375
    Abstract: Cytoprotective compounds, many of which are phenolic derivatives characterized by a substituted phenol having certain conjugated bonds, are useful in the treatment of certain ischemic or inflammatory conditions, including but not limited to stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and skin disorders characterized by inflammation or oxidative damage. They are also useful in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations for the treatment of such conditions.

  • FRUIT REGULATORY REGIONS
    Publication number: 20080104726
    Abstract: Regulatory regions suitable for directing expression of a heterologous polynucleotide in fruit tissues, e.g., flesh and peel tissues, of plants are described, as well as nucleic acid constructs that include these regulatory regions. Also disclosed are transgenic plants that contain such constructs and methods of producing such transgenic plants.

  • Modulating alkaloid biosynthesis
    Publication number: 20070199090
    Abstract: Materials and methods for modulating expression of nucleic acid sequences of interest, e.g., nucleic acid sequences involved in alkaloid biosynthesis, are disclosed. For example, plants and plant cells containing a regulatory protein that can modulate expression of a gene(s), such as an alkaloid biosynthesis gene(s), are disclosed.

  • Modulating plant alkaloids
    Publication number: 20060195934
    Abstract: Materials and methods are provided for identifying regulatory region-regulatory protein associations and modulating expression of a sequence of interest. For example, a plant cell is provided containing a regulatory protein that can modulate expression of one or more genes involved in alkaloid biosynthesis in plants, which, in turn, can modulate the amount and/or rate of biosynthesis of one or more alkaloid compounds.

  • Modulating plant carbon levels
    Publication number: 20060143736
    Abstract: Methods and materials for modulating (e.g., increasing or decreasing) carbon levels in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding carbon-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased carbon levels.

  • Modulating plant nitrogen levels
    Publication number: 20060137034
    Abstract: Methods and materials for modulating (e.g., increasing or decreasing) nitrogen levels in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding nitrogen-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Plants and plant products having increased nitrogen levels are also disclosed.

  • Plant cells having receptor polypeptides
    Publication number: 20050204416
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel transgenic plant cells that include a heterologous (e.g., human) receptor polypeptide, or fragment thereof. The plant cells can be used to identify molecules (i.e., ligands) that can interact with the receptor polypeptide or fragment. The plant cells can be used to identify ligands that are endogenous to transgenic plant cells, or exogenous ligands that are applied to the plant cells. Such receptor polypeptide ligands can be used to identify novel pharmaceuticals.
