  • Patent number: 10717770
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for improving plant growth are provided herein. Compositions comprise promoter sequences that direct expression of an operably linked nucleotide in a developmentally regulated manner. Polynucleotides, polypeptides, and expression constructs for expressing genes of interest whose expression may improve agronomic properties including but not limited to crop yield, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and early vigor, plants comprising the polynucleotides, polypeptides, and expression constructs, and methods of producing transgenic plants are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 21, 2020
    Assignee: Benson Hill, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas P. Brutnell, Douglas W. Bryant, Todd Christopher Mockler, Lin Wang
  • Publication number: 20200140880
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for improving plant growth are provided herein.
