  • Plant transcription factors and enhanced gene expression
    Patent number: 7589252
    Abstract: The invention relates to transgenic plants that demonstrate enhanced expression of a plant transcription factor under the control of a seed specific promoter such that expression of the transcription factor activates transcription of a native or non-native coding sequence in the plant. The invention further relates to a method of generating such transgenic plants and methods for enhancing the level of expression of a selected heterologous protein in seeds of such transgenic plants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 2005
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2009
    Assignee: Ventria Bioscience
    Inventors: Ning Huang, Daichang Yang, Yong-Sic Hwang, Robert J. Schmidt
