  • Plant having mutant cyclin F-box gene
    Patent number: 10745710
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant having an improved sugar content in fruit compared with its wild type plant, which has a mutant cyclin F-box gene comprising a nucleotide mutation that causes a non-conservative amino acid substitution in the cyclin F-box protein. The present invention also relates to a parthenocarpic plant having a mutant cyclin F-box gene comprising a nucleotide mutation that causes a non-conservative amino acid substitution in the cyclin F-box protein.
    Type: Grant

  • Mutant plant
    Patent number: 10385357
    Abstract: Provided is a plant such as tomato, in which plant vigor has been increased and heat resistance has further been imparted. A plant such as tomato can be obtained, which has increased the stem diameter as well as the plant height and has become heat resistant by having a mutant Della protein, in which a leucine corresponding to the leucine at position 567 in SEQ ID NO: 2 in the amino acid sequence of the Della protein has been replaced by another amino acid, preferably phenylalanine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 7, 2014
