  • Plants having stress related traits and methods for making the same
    Patent number: 9434773
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to a plant cell with increased yield, preferably under condition of transient and repetitive abiotic stress as compared to a corresponding non-transformed wild type plant cell by increasing or generating one or more activities of RING proteins in plants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2016
    Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLC
    Inventors: Avutu S. Reddy, Sun Yuejin, Donald J. Merlo, Weiting W. Ni, Dayakar Pareddy, Zhifang Gao, Gregory A. Bradfisch
  • Protein production in plant cells and associated methods and compositions
    Patent number: 9249422
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the expression of protein. Embodiments of methods may comprise the cleavage and repair of a nucleotide sequence encoding a highly expressed protein leading to a reduction in the expression of the highly expressed protein.
    Type: Grant
