  • Geminivirus resistant transgenic plants
    Patent number: 8039688
    Abstract: Transgenic plants with increased resistance to geminivirus infection, and nucleic acid constructs useful in producing such plants, are described. In addition, methods of making the transgenic plants of the present invention are included. The transgenic plants express a mutant AL1/C1 geminivirus protein, which increases resistance to infection by at least one geminivirus, compared to a non-transformed control plant.

  • Alteration of plant meristem function by manipulation of the Retinoblastoma-like plant RRB gene
    Patent number: 7164006
    Abstract: This invention provides methods and compositions for altering the growth, organization, and differentiation of plant tissues. The invention is based on the discovery that, in plants, genetically altering the levels of Retinoblastoma-related gene (RRB) activity produces dramatic effects on the growth, proliferation, organization, and differentiation of plant meristem.
