US Patent:

61569542, Dec 5, 2000
Filed:

Jul 21, 1998
Appl. No.:

9/120855
Inventors:

Jingping Zhong - La Jolla CA
Qun Zhu - San Diego CA
Christopher J. Lamb - San Diego CA
Assignee:

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies
International Classification:

C12N 504
C12N 1529
C12N 1552
C12N 1584
A01H 510
US Classification:

800290
Abstract:

The present invention is based on the discovery that increased growth and yield in plants can be achieved by elevating the level of receptor-like protein kinase (RKN), a member of the receptor-like protein kinase (RLK) family. RKN polypeptide and polynucleotides encoding RKN polypeptide are provided, as are RKN expression control sequences. Also included are methods of producing a genetically modified plant characterized as having increased growth and yield as compared to a corresponding wild-type plant. A method for genetically modifying a plant cell such that a plant produced form the cell will have a modulated yield is also provided. A method of producing a genetically modified plant characterized as having increased expression of a gene product of interest in its roots as compared to the corresponding wild type plant is also provided. The invention also provides plants, plant tissue, and seeds produced by the genetically modified plants of the invention.

US Patent:

20210254082, Aug 19, 2021
Filed:

Jun 3, 2019
Appl. No.:

15/734682
Inventors:

- LUDWIGSHAFEN, DE
Ruorong CAI - SAN DIEGO CA, US
Jingping ZHONG - SAN DIEGO CA, US
Melissa Ann SCRANTON - SAN DIEGO CA, US
Michael SPEER - SAN DIEGO CA, US
International Classification:

C12N 15/81
C07K 14/39
Abstract:

A promoter operably linked to a gene encoding a protein is disclosed. The promoter drives expression of the protein in a yeast cell in the absence of methanol. Also disclosed are vectors, host cells and expression systems that include the promoter, as well as methods of using the promoter to express proteins in yeast.

International Classification:

C12N 9/28
A21D 8/04
Abstract:

Engineered variant polypeptides having amylase enzyme activity, compositions comprising the enzymes, and methods of making and using the enzymes. The genetically engineered amylase enzymes are useful in many different applications such as laundry detergents, dish washing detergents, and cleaning products for homes, industry, vehicle care, baking, animal feed, pulp and paper processing, starch processing, and ethanol production.
