Plants With Elevated Levels Of Gallic Acid/Polyphenol Oxidase And Methods Of Generating Such Plants

View page
US Patent:
7449617, Nov 11, 2008
Filed:
Jul 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/482150
Inventors:
Abhaya Dandekar - Davis CA, US
Ryann M. Muir - Woodland CA, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C12N 15/09
C12N 15/82
A01H 5/00
US Classification:
800278, 800298, 800279, 4353201, 435468, 435419
Abstract:
Gallic acid inhibits the synthesis by of aflatoxin, a toxic carcinogen that can contaminate crops such as corn, peanuts and walnuts rendering them inedible. The present invention takes advantage of this inhibition to provide various methods and compositions useful for protecting crops from contamination. Gallic acid is also an intermediate in the production of hydrolyzable tannins, which may sequester protein in the rumen, prevent ammonia formation, and allow protein to be more efficiently absorbed in the post-ruminant digestive system. A second gene, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), also from walnut, may act to help sequester protein during ensiling, also protecting and improving nutritional value. The present invention includes non-naturally occurring plants that contain elevated levels of PPO or gallic acid as well as various methods of generating such plants. The present invention further provides methods of application of gallic acid to prevent contamination.

Production Of Cellulase Enzymes In Plant Hosts Using Transient Agroinfiltration

View page
US Patent:
20100055740, Mar 4, 2010
Filed:
Aug 19, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/544195
Inventors:
Karen A. MCDONALD - Davis CA, US
Benjamin E. Lindenmuth - Davis CA, US
Abhaya M. Dandekar - Davis CA, US
Bryce W. Falk - Davis CA, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C12P 21/02
US Classification:
435 691
Abstract:
Described herein are methods useful for producing proteins, such as enzymes, by agrofiltration. The methods involve producing an with a Ti plasmid encoding a cellulase, infecting plant cells with the allowing expression of the cellulase, and recovering the cellulase from the plant cells. In one embodiment, the protein produced is an endoglucanase.

Chemically Inducible Cucumber Mosaic Virus Protein Expression System

US Patent:
20120005782, Jan 5, 2012
Filed:
Sep 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/442395
Inventors:
Karen A. McDonald - Fairfielf CA, US
Abhaya Dandekar - Davis CA, US
Bryce W. Falk - Davis CA, US
Mysore R. Sudarshana - Davis CA, US
Sandra L. Uratsu - Davis CA, US
Michael A. Plesha - Davis CA, US
Ting-kuo Huang - Davis CA, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C12P 21/00
C12N 9/00
C12N 5/04
C12N 15/83
A01H 5/00
US Classification:
800288, 4353201, 800298, 435419, 435 691, 435 696, 435183
Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel chemically inducible plant viral amplicon (CMViva) expression system that permits controllable, high level expression of foreign genes in plant hosts. This system employs agro-infiltration of plants to provide a transient production of a protein of interest, such as a human blood protein. This system provides a major advantage over existing plant expression systems because it allows for consistent expression of foreign or heterologous proteins in plant hosts.

US Patent:
20120045818, Feb 23, 2012
Filed:
Jul 19, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/186423
Inventors:
Minsook HWANG - Davis CA, US
Benjamin E. Lindenmuth - Davis CA, US
Karen A. McDonald - Davis CA, US

International Classification:
C12N 9/42
C12N 5/10
US Classification:
435209, 435419
Abstract:
Described herein are viral amplicon-based protein expression systems and methods useful for producing heterologous proteins, such as enzymes, by agroinfiltration. The methods involve producing an with a Ti plasmid encoding a heterologous protein, infecting plant cells with the , allowing expression of the heterologous protein, and recovering the heterologous protein from the plant cells. In one embodiment, the protein produced is an endoglucanase.

Pest Trap Plants And Crop Protection

US Patent:
56408048, Jun 24, 1997
Filed:
Sep 14, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/309233
Inventors:
John Driver - Modesto CA
Abhaya M. Dandekar - Davis CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
Treetech Management Inc., DBA Dry Creek Laboratories - Modesto CA
International Classification:
A01G 100
A01G 1310
C12N 1582
C12N 1532
A01H 500
US Classification:
47 58
Abstract:
The present invention provides new methods for controlling plant pests using transgenic plants. The methods control pests on a desired crop plant using transgenic pest trap plants of a different species or variety which are preferred host for the target pest, and thereby preferentially attract the pest. The pest trap plants comprise a gene encoding a protein toxic to the pest.
