20110203017 | Novel Herbicide Resistance Genes - The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D, but also to pyridyloxyacetate herbicides. Heretofore, there was no expectation or suggestion that a plant with both of these advantageous properties could be produced by the introduction of a single gene. The subject invention also includes plants that produce one or more enzymes of the subject invention “stacked” together with one or more other herbicide resistance genes. The subject invention enables novel combinations of herbicides to be used in new ways. Furthermore, the subject invention provides novel methods of preventing the development of, and controlling, strains of weeds that are resistant to one or more herbicides such as glyphosate. The preferred enzyme and gene for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD-12 (AryloxyAlkanoate Dioxygenase). This highly novel discovery is the basis of significant herbicide tolerant crop trait and selectable marker opportunities. | 08-18-2011 |
20110247100 | PLANT PEPTIDE GAMMA-ZEIN FOR DELIVERY OF BIOMOLECULES INTO PLANT CELLS - A method of introducing a molecule of interest into a plant cell having a cell wall includes interacting a gamma-zein peptide with a molecule of interest to form a gamma-zein linked structure. The gamma-zein linked structure is then placed in contact with the plant cell having a cell wall, and allowing uptake of the gamma-zein linked structure into the plant cell. Alternatively, a gene of interest can be expressed in a plant cell having an intact cell wall by interacting a gamma-zein peptide with the gene of interest to form a gamma-zein linked gene structure, allowing uptake of the gamma-zein linked gene structure into the plant cell, and expressing the gene of interest in the plant cell and its progeny. | 10-06-2011 |
20110300556 | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES DETECTION METHODS FOR ENZYMES THAT CONFER RESISTANCE TO 2,4-DICHLOROPHENOXYACETIC ACID IN PLANTS - Described herein are monoclonal antibodies and methods useful for determining and quantitating the presence of an aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase enzyme. | 12-08-2011 |
20120064542 | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND DETECTION METHODS FOR ENZYMES THAT CONFER RESISTANCE TO 2,4-DICHLOROPHENOXYACETIC ACID - Described herein are monoclonal antibodies and methods useful for determining and quantitating the presence of AAD-1 (aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase) enzyme. These monoclonal antibodies are surprisingly well suited for detecting AAD-1 transgenic event gene products in a variety of plants and plant tissues. The invention further provides quantitative and qualitative immunoassays using the immunoglobulins of the invention. | 03-15-2012 |
20120244569 | QUANTUM DOT CARRIER PEPTIDE CONJUGATES SUITABLE FOR IMAGING AND DELIVERY APPLICATIONS IN PLANTS - Provided are methods for introducing a molecule of interest into a plant cell having a cell wall by using a QD-peptide conjugate having a quantum dot (QD) with one or more cell penetrating peptides (CPPs). Methods are provided for genetically or otherwise modifying plants and for treating or preventing disease in plant cells comprising a cell wall. | 09-27-2012 |
