| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5304490 | DNA constructs containing fruit-ripening genes DNA constructs useful for modifying the ripening behavior of fruit comprise a transcriptional initiation region operative in plants positioned for transcription of a DNA sequence homologous to some or all of a fruit-ripening gene encoded by either of the ... | 04/19/1994 |
| 5296376 | DNA, constructs, cells and plants derived therefrom Process for the inhibition of the production of a gene product in a plant cell which comprises generating in the cell while the gene product is being expressed mRNA from recombinant DNA coding for part only of the gene product: also constructs for use in ... | 03/22/1994 |
| 5278057 | Transformation of plants to introduce closely linked markers A novel method of producing a plant with a marker closely linked to a target locus, in particular a nuclear male sterile target locus, is described. The method involves transformation of a group of plants in order to introduce a marker into each plant, an... | 01/11/1994 |
| 5268526 | Overexpression of phytochrome in transgenic plants The preparation of an uninterrupted coding sequence for phytochrome polypeptide, and its incorporation in a recombinant DNA construct containing a constitutive promoter and/or enhancer to transform plants to cause overexpression of phytochrome is describe... | 12/07/1993 |
| 5254800 | Tomato plants and cells containing pTOM36 antisense constructs DNA constructs comprise a DNA sequence homologous to some or all of the gene encoded by the clone pTOM36. The constructs may further comprise a transcriptional initiation region operative in plants for transcribing this DNA sequence, optionally in the ant... | 10/19/1993 |
| 5234834 | Constructs for expression of monellin in plant cells Edible fruit, seed and vegetables of transgenic plants modified to produce a sweetening protein such as monellin or thaumatin are useful in preparing food compositions which have enhanced sweetness improved flavor. Expression systems for the genes encodin... | 08/10/1993 |
| 5177307 | Compositions and methods for modulation of endogenous cytokinin levels Developmentally regulated transcriptional regulatory regions are identified employing cDNA screening. The resulting regulatory regions are manipulated for use with DNA sequences encoding enzymes involved in cytokinin metabolism for introduction into plant... | 01/05/1993 |
| 5175095 | Ovary-tissue transcriptional factors Novel DNA constructs are provided which may be used as molecular probes or inserted into a plant host to provide for modification of transcription of a DNA sequence of interest in ovary tissue, particularly in very early fruit development. The DNA constru... | 12/29/1992 |
| 5073676 | Tomato anti-sense pectin esterase Recombinant DNA comprises promoter and terminator base sequences respectively upstream and downstream of an inverted base sequence complementary to a substantial sequence of bases in polygalacturonase mRNA. The antisense mRNA produced thereby delays softe... | 12/17/1991 |
| 4943674 | Fruit specific transcriptional factors Fruit specific regulatory regions are identified employing cDNA screening. The resulting fruit specific regulatory regions are manipulated for use with foreign sequences for introduction into plant cells to provide transformed plants having fruit with a m... | 07/24/1990 |
| 4843186 | Long shelf life heterozygous tomato plant A heterozygous tomato plant has a Rin gene as a heterozygote together with genes giving a very firm fruit with excellent tomato-like taste which, when picked at Color 4 of the USDA color chart, has a shelf life of at least two weeks and develops a full re... | 06/27/1989 |
| 4827079 | Generation of somaclonal non-mendelian variants A method is presented which permits the induction and screening of variant plants which display a Non-Mendelian mode of inheritance. The process involves maintaining plant tissue in culture for a limited period of time in the presence of unusually high le... | 05/02/1989 |
| 4326358 | Hybrids New hybrid seed varieties and plants therefrom are rapidly developed and commercially produced. New hybrid seeds can be readied for market in as little as three years, compared to the conventional eight to twelve years required for preexisting techniques ... | 04/27/1982 |
