  • Characterization of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene in wounded lettuce tissue
    Patent number: 6897357
    Abstract: The invention provides phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) sequences, and constructs and methods related thereto. In one aspect, Lactuca sativa PAL sequences are isolated and characterized. The invention also provides novel sequences associated with PAL polynucleotide sequences and methods using recombinant techniques to express proteins from such sequences. In addition, methods are provided for using such sequences to transform host cells and alter wound induced gene activity or expression.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 24, 2005
    Assignee: Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Mikal E. Saltveit, Reinaldo Campos, Hiroyuki Nonogaki, Trevor Suslow

  • Chitinase-producing bacteria and plants
    Patent number: 5374540
    Abstract: Novel bacteria strains and plants are described which produce and secrete chitinase and other proteins as the result of the introduction of foreign DNA linked to a sequence encoding chitinase, an enzyme capable of degrading chitin present in fungi and nematodes. The bacterial strains have utility in producing chitinase for the purpose of inhibiting plant pathogens. Novel pathogen resistant plants are also described which are created by introduction of DNA encoding for the production of chitinase.
