Patent number: 10612035Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of a non-transgenic plant resistant or tolerant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, e.g., glyphosate. The present invention also relates to the use of a recombinagenic oligonucleobase to make a desired mutation in the chromosomal or episomal sequences of a plant in the gene encoding for 5-enol pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). The mutated protein, which substantially maintains the catalytic activity of the wild-type protein, allows for increased resistance or tolerance of the plant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, and allows for the substantially normal growth or development of the plant, its organs, tissues or cells as compared to the wild-type plant irrespective of the presence or absence of the herbicide. Additionally the present invention relates to mutant E. coli cells that contain mutated EPSPS genes.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: CIBUS US LLCInventors: Greg F.

Patent number: 9675071Abstract: This invention relates generally to the detection of genetic differences among soybeans. More particularly, the invention relates to soybean quantitative trait loci (QTL) for tolerance to protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors, to soybean plants possessing these QTLs, which map to a novel chromosomal region, and to genetic markers that are indicative of phenotypes associated with protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor tolerance. Methods and compositions for use of these markers in genotyping of soybean and selection are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Donald Kyle, Mark D. Vogt

Patent number: 9505811Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for manipulating the exchange of water and/or carbon dioxide (CO2) through plant stomata by controlling CO2 sensor genes. The invention provides compositions and methods for enhancing or optimizing biomass accumulation in a plant. The invention provides compositions and methods for opening or closing a stomatal pore on a guard cell in the epidermis of a plant. The invention provides compositions and methods for increasing or decreasing oxygenation efficiency and/or carbon fixation in a guard cell in the epidermis of a plant by manipulating expression of a ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. The invention provides promoters for regulating expression of a nucleic acid in a plant guard cell.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Julian I. Schroeder, Maria Israelsson-Nordstrom, Josef M. Kuhn, Yingzhen Yang, Honghong Hu, Aurelien Boisson-Dernier

Patent number: 9464296Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for producing transgenic plants. In specific embodiments, transgenic plants comprise a construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding CCA1, GLK1 or bZIP1, operably linked to a plant-specific promote, wherein the CCA1, GLK1 or bZIP1 is ectopically overexpressed in the transgenic plants, and wherein the promoter is optionally a constitutive or inducible promoter. In other embodiments, transgenic plants in which express a lower level of CCA1, GLK1 or bZIP1 are provided. Also provided herein are commercial products (e.g., pulp, paper, paper products, or lumber) derived from the transgenic plants (e.g., transgenic trees) produced using the methods provided herein.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: New York UniversityInventors: Gloria Coruzzi, Rodrigo A. Gutierrez, Damion C. Nero

Patent number: 9402919Abstract: This invention relates to the field of therapeutics. Disclosed are methods of conditionally expressing erythropoietin under the control of an ecdysone receptor-based gene expression modulation system in the presence of activating ligand and uses for therapeutic purposes in animals. The methods of the invention cause an in vivo increase in the expression of erythropoietin and an increase in the hematocrit or volume percentage of red blood cells in blood after administration of the ligand.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Intrexon CorporationInventors: Jeremiah F. Roeth, Charles C. Reed, Brandon Cuthbertson, Sunil Chada, William E. Fogler, Fayaz Khazi
