  • Sorghum yield enhancement gene
    Patent number: 10266840
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides nucleic acids that confer a multi-seeded phenotype when expressed in plants and uses thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2019
    Assignees: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
    Inventors: Zhanguo Xin, Gloria B. Burow, Chad M Hayes, John J. Burke, Doreen Ware, Yinping Jiao
  • Mutant sorghum bicolor having enhanced seed yield
    Patent number: 10253326
    Abstract: Genetically altered sorghum plants expressing the multi-seeded #2 phenotype contain one of two genomic alterations in the Sb06g018040 gene which result in reduced activity of the encoded protein, a class II 13-lipoxygenase. This phenotype and genotype are referred to as msd2. These alterations result in increased number of seeds and seed weight, thus increasing the yield of the genetically altered plant. These alterations can be generated in the ortholog genes in maize (TS1), rice, barley, and other monocot plants, generating the MSD2 phenotype. The seeds of one particular MSD2 Sorghum bicolor has been deposited with ATCC and assigned Accession Number PTA-121634.
    Type: Grant

  • SORGHUM YIELD ENHANCEMENT GENE MULTI-SEEDED 3 (MSD3)
    Publication number: 20190093120
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel mutations in a sorghum gene, Msd3, which increase the seed yield in sorghum. The nucleic acid sequences of this mutated gene and its encoded protein(s) are included. This invention also relates to genetically altered plants having this mutated gene and/or containing the mutated protein and which have increased flower production and seed yield and lower jasmonic acid production.
