  • Patent number: 6262339
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for the generation of male sterility in plants comprising the steps of (a) transforming a plant cell with DNA sequences that selectively inhibit the expression of essential metabolic compounds and (b) regenerating plants from said plant cells. Cells impaired in the biosynthesis of basic metabolic compounds undergo starvation and eventually die. Such pathways include amino acid biosynthesis, nucleic acid biosynthesis and other biosynthetic pathways such as citric acid cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid metabolism, vitamin biosynthesis that will render the cell inactive due to nutrient depletion, if one or more enzymes or proteins involved in this pathway would become inactive by using inhibitory DNA constructs.

  • Patent number: 6248935
    Abstract: Plant development can be altered by transforming a plant with a genetic construct that includes regulatory elements and DNA sequences capable of acting in a fashion to inhibit pollen formation or function, thus rendering the transformed plant reversibly male-sterile. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of dominant negative genes and an anther-specific promoter. Male sterility is reversed by incorporation into a plant of a second genetic construct which represses the dominant negative gene. The invention also relates to novel DNA sequences which exhibit the ability to serve as anther-specific promoters in plants.

  • Patent number: 6218155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transgenic or mutated plant having genomic material which alters the normal starch synthesis pathway within the plant. More specifically, the present invention relates to a plant having a genotype which creates new forms of starch in significant quantity. Particularly, the invention relates to grain having an embryo with a genotype heterozygous for two or more wild type genes (for example, Aa/Bb) and an endosperm having a genotype heterozygous for such genes (for example, AAa/BBb or AAa/bbB or aaA/BBb or aaA/bbB) and the starch produced therefrom.
