| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5859330 | Regulated expression of heterologous genes in plants and transgenic fruit with a modified ripening phenotype The present invention relates to chimeric genes having (i) a DNA sequence encoding a product that is effective to reduce ethylene biosynthesis in fruit from the plant, and (ii) a promoter whose expression is induced during fruit ripening or by ethylene sy... | 01/12/1999 |
| 5750864 | Regulated expression of heterologous genes in plants The use of AdoMetase to reduce ethylene biosynthesis in plants is facilitated by the exploitation of the tissue and stage specific properties of the E4 promoter from tomato. The E4 promoter, isolated from tomato or other plants by methods described herein... | 05/12/1998 |
| 5750870 | Plant genetic transformation methods and transgenic plants An efficient transformation system for plants has been developed that yields high transformation efficiencies and pure transgenic plants. Genomic integration of transgenes was confirmed by genomic DNA hybridization analysis. Pure transgenic plants have be... | 05/12/1998 |
| 5723746 | Reduced ethylene synthesis and delayed fruit ripening in transgenic tomatoes expressing S-adenosylmethionine hydrolase The use of AdoMetase to reduce ethylene biosynthesis in plants is facilitated by the exploitation of the tissue and stage specific properties of the E8 promoter from tomato. Expression of AdoMetase is shown to be limited to the ripening tomato fruit. The ... | 03/03/1998 |
| 5589623 | Genetic control of ethylene biosynthesis in plants A method for control of ethylene biosynthesis in plants comprising a vector containing a selective gene under plant promoter control, and a DNA insert comprising codons for a functional heterologous polypeptide having AdoMetase activity and flanked by a p... | 12/31/1996 |
| 5416250 | Genetic control of ethylene biosynthesis in plants using S-adenosylmethionine hydrolase A method for control of ethylene biosynthesis in plants comprising a vector containing a selective gene under plant promoter control, and a DNA insert comprising codons for a functional heterologous polypeptide having AdoMetase activity and flanked by a p... | 05/16/1995 |
| 5366954 | Floral preservative comprising 5-deoxy-5-ethylthio-D-ribose and method of use The present invention includes a method of extending bloom life of a cut flower. In the method, a storage solution containing 5-deoxy-5-ethylthio-D-ribose (ETR) is provided, and the stem of the cut flower is bathed in the solution. ETR is safe for human u... | 11/22/1994 |
