20080250526, Oct 9, 2008
Filed:

Jun 23, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/908551
Inventors:

Craig L. Nessler - Blacksburg VA, US
Argelia Lorence - Blacksburg VA, US
Boris Chevone - Blacksburg VA, US
Pedro Mendes - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:

C12N 15/52
A01H 5/00
C12N 9/00
C12N 15/82
US Classification:

800278, 800298, 800305, 8003173, 8003174, 8003172, 800312, 8003202, 8003201, 8003203, 435183, 536 232, 4353201
Abstract:

Methods are provided for increasing plant growth rate, biomass and tolerance to stress by genetically engineering plants to contain and express a gene of the ascorbic acid synthesis-cell wall synthesis network (e.g. GlcUA reductase, GLOase or MIOX). Transgenic plants that are genetically engineered in such a manner are also provided.

Abstract:

Methods of increasing production, stability or activity of a target polypeptide are provided herein. The method includes increasing the level of an antioxidant in a cell comprising a polynucleotide encoding the target polypeptide. Also provided are cells and transgenic organisms produced using the methods described herein. Methods of treating a subject with a condition treatable by administration of the target polypeptide are also disclosed. Finally methods and compositions for transiently increasing antioxidants in plant cells are provided.

Manipulation Of Ascorbic Acid Levels In Plants

US Patent:

20060212960, Sep 21, 2006
Filed:

Sep 8, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/538885
Inventors:

Craig Nessler - Blacksburg VA, US
Argelia Lorence - Blacksburg VA, US
Boris Chevone - Blacksburg VA, US
Pedro Mendes - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:

A01H 1/00
C12N 15/82
A01H 5/00
US Classification:

800278000, 800317300
Abstract:

Methods for increasing the vitamin C content of plants are provided by transforming the plants with genes encoding a novel vitamin C biosynthetic pathway. Vitamin C production is increased in the resulting transgenic plants, providing, for example, higher nutritional value and longer shelf-life of produce. Further, the leaves of air-cured varieties of tobacco transformed in this manner contain lower levels of highly carcinogenic tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs).
