Stress Tolerance And Delayed Senescence In Plants

View page
US Patent:
7262338, Aug 28, 2007
Filed:
Aug 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/229541
Inventors:
Peter McCourt - Toronto, CA
Majid Ghassemian - Carlsbad CA, US
Sean Cutler - Toronto, CA
Dario Bonetta - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Performance Plants, Inc. - Ontario
International Classification:
C12N 15/82
A01H 5/00
A01H 5/10
US Classification:
800289, 800285, 800286, 800287, 800298
Abstract:
The novel constructs and methods of this invention improve tolerance in plants to environmental stresses and senescence. Nucleic acids encoding a plant farnesyl transferase are described, as are transgenic plants and seeds incorporating these nucleic acids and proteins. Also provided are inhibitors of naturally-occurring farnesyl transferase which, when expressed, will enhance drought tolerance in the plants, improve resistance to senescence and modify growth habit.

Abstract:
In one aspect, the invention is directed to polypeptides having an amylase and/or glucoamylase activity, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and methods for making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. In one aspect, the polypeptides of the invention can be used as amylases, for example, alpha amylases, to catalyze the hydrolysis of polysaccharide, oligosaccharide or starch into sugars. In one aspect, the invention provides delayed release compositions comprising an desired ingredient coated by a latex polymer coating. In alternative embodiments, enzymes are used to make biofuels, e.g., ethanol, butanol, propanol, or a gasoline-ethanol mix, including a bioethanol, biopropanol, biobutanol, or a biodiesel, or for any form of fuel or biomass processing.
