Publication number: 20120329674Abstract: The present invention provides for rapid and large scale evaluation of expression of, or function of, nucleotide sequences in plants. The invention comprises three specific components which provide for fast and large scale evaluation of nucleotide sequences. The first component includes delivery in either a single event a library of different engineered vectors or a single engineered vector for a single target nucleotide sequence comprising sequences the function of which is desired to be known in plant cells. Surprisingly, applicants have discovered that, the introduction of multiple vectors to plant cells predominantly results in individual transgenic plants which contain only a single transformation event. The second feature of the invention involves a highly transformable, fast cycling and/or miniature size plant and the final step involves mass scale analysis of T0 plants for various phenotypes and plasmid rescue to identify the nucleotide sequence present in a particular phenotype.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2011Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: PIONEER HI BRED INTERNATIONAL INCInventors: Marc C. Albertsen, Susan J. Martino-Catt, Xiaomu Niu, Igor Cunha Oliveira, Dwight Tomes, Haiyin Wang, Deping Xu

Patent number: 7122658Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of isolated nucleotide sequences in a plant. The compositions are novel nucleic acid sequences for seed-preferred regulatory sequences. Methods for expressing an isolated nucleotide sequence in a plant using the regulatory sequences are also provided. The methods comprise transforming a plant cell to contain an isolated nucleotide sequence operably linked to the seed-preferred regulatory sequences of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant from the transformed plant cell.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2000Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.Inventors: Kathryn K. Lappegard, Shane E. Abbitt, Susan J. Martino-Catt, Jinrui Shi, William J. Gordon-Kamm, Keith S. Lowe

Patent number: 6903205Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. Compositions are novel nucleotide sequences for seed-preferred promoters isolated from genes for end1 and end2. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the disclosed promoter sequences is provided. The method comprises transforming a plant cell to comprise a heterologous nucleotide sequence operably linked to one of the promoters of the invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant from the transformed plant cell.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.Inventors: Casper Linnestad, Kathryn K. Lappegard, Shane E. Abbitt, Susan J. Martino-Catt, Odd-Arne Olsen
