  • Plant egg cell transcriptional control sequences
    Patent number: 9139839
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to transcriptional control sequences. Generally, the present invention relates to transcriptional control sequences that specifically or preferentially direct expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant egg cell. The present invention is predicated, in part, on the identification of transcriptional control sequences derived from EC1 genes which, in preferred embodiments, direct preferential expression in an egg cell of at least one plant taxon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2015
    Assignees: Adelaide Research & Innovation Pty Ltd, Grains Research & Development Corporation
    Inventors: Stefanie Sprunck, Birgit Bellman, Thomas Dresselhaus
  • Embryo sac-specific genes
    Patent number: 8586355
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated nucleotide sequences useful for the production of plants with a modified embryo sac, embryo and or endosperm development, and to transgenic cells and plants transformed with the nucleotide sequences.
    Type: Grant
