  • Plant artificial chromosome platforms via telomere truncation
    Patent number: 8435783
    Abstract: The invention provides engineered plant minichromosomes generated by telomere mediated truncation of native chromosomes. These minichromosomes are faithfully transmitted from one generation to the next and provide an ideal platform for breeding genes into desired plant varieties with out problems, such as linkage drag, associated with standard breeding methods.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2013
    Assignee: The Curators of the University of Missouri
    Inventors: Weichang Yu, Juan M. Vega, James Birchler
