US Patent:
7795503, Sep 14, 2010
Filed:
Feb 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/360459
Inventors:
Nestor Apuya - Culver City CA, US
Steven Craig Bobzin - Malibu CA, US
Joon-Hyun Park - Oak Park CA, US
Assignee:
Ceres, Inc. - Thousand Oaks CA
International Classification:
C12N 15/29
C12N 15/82
A01H 5/00
US Classification:
800298, 800287, 800312, 800317, 800321
Abstract:
Materials and methods are provided for identifying regulatory region-regulatory protein associations and modulating expression of a sequence of interest. For example, a plant cell is provided containing a regulatory protein that can modulate expression of one or more genes involved in alkaloid biosynthesis in plants, which, in turn, can modulate the amount and/or rate of biosynthesis of one or more alkaloid compounds.
