  • LIMNANTHES OIL GENES
    Publication number: 20090138992
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 15, 2009
    Publication date: May 28, 2009
    Inventors: Edgar B. Cahoon, William D. Hitz, Anthony J. Kinney, Steven J. Vollmer
  • Chromatin associated proteins
    Patent number: 6893853
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a chromatin associated protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the chromatin associated protein, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the chromatin associated protein in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Grant
