Transformed Plants Accumulating Mono-And/Or Sesquiterpenes

View page
US Patent:
20080201796, Aug 21, 2008
Filed:
Jun 26, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/916272
Inventors:
Joe Chappell - Lexington KY, US
Shuiqin Wu - Lexington KY, US
Michel Schalk - Collonges-Sous-Saleve, FR
Athony Clark - West Windsor NJ, US
Assignee:
University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY
International Classification:
A01H 1/00
A01H 5/00
C12N 15/82
C12N 15/00
US Classification:
800260, 800298, 8003173, 4353201, 800278
Abstract:
The present invention relates to plant expressing transgenes and to plants transformed to comprise additional copies of genes, said genes encoding at least a HMGR-CoA reductase and a terpene synthase. The invention further claims methods for preparing the plants, and a method for producing terpenes. The present thus provides a reliable and cost effective platform for generating any terpene, in particular any mono- and/or sesquiterpene of interest. For example, the skilled person may use any gene encoding a sesquiterpene synthase for accumulating the respective sesquiterpene in the plant of the present invention.

Transformed Plants Accumulating Terpenes

US Patent:
20090123984, May 14, 2009
Filed:
Apr 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/911660
Inventors:
Joe Chappell - Lexington KY, US
Shuiqin Wu - Lexington KY, US
Michel Schalk - Collonges-Sous-Saleve, FR
Athony Clark - West Windsor NJ, US
Assignee:
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY
International Classification:
C12P 5/00
A01H 5/00
C12N 5/10
C12N 15/82
US Classification:
435166, 800298, 4353201, 800278, 435430
Abstract:
The present invention relates to transformed plants with an altered terpene content, preferably over-accumulating a mono- or sesqui-terpene. By transformation of plants with genes encoding terpene synthases (TS), and prenyl transferases (PRT), plants accumulating at least 1000 ng/per g of fresh leaf of a specific terpene were obtained. The present invention provides an advantageous system for production of terpenes in that any desired mono- or sesqui-terpene at the choice of the skilled person can be produced in plants. Preferably, the transformed plants contain at least one recombinant plastid targeted TS and PRT.

US Patent:
20120231546, Sep 13, 2012
Filed:
Sep 13, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/496173
Inventors:
Craig A. Behnke - San Diego CA, US
David Molina - San Diego CA, US
Soyan Lieberman - Solana Beach CA, US
Jamie Bacher - Emeryville CA, US
Shuiqin Wu - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Sapphire Energy, Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
C12N 15/79
C12N 15/74
C12N 15/11
C12N 1/13
US Classification:
435471, 4352572, 536 231
Abstract:
Provided herein are novel ACCases and nucleotides encoding the same, that when introduced into a cell or organism results in an increase and/or accumulation of fatty acids, glycerol lipids, and/or oils in the cell or organism, and/or a change in the types of fatty acids, glycerol lipids, and/or oils that are normally present in the cell or organism. Also provided herein are organisms transformed with the novel ACCases.

US Patent:
20130198896, Aug 1, 2013
Filed:
Oct 3, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/573709
Inventors:
University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY, US
Shuiqin Wu - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY
International Classification:
C12N 15/82
US Classification:
800278, 435419
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for producing linear and branched hydrocarbons and in particular triterpenes in plant cells. The system and method includes a transformed plant cells with an isolated nucleic acid encoding a farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPS) and with an isolated nucleic acid encoding a triterpene synthase.

Method And System For Terpene Production Platforms In Yeast

View page
US Patent:
20210071185, Mar 11, 2021
Filed:
Aug 11, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/990802
Inventors:
- Lexington KY, US
Xun ZHUANG - Lexington KY, US
Shuiqin WU - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
C12N 15/81
C12N 15/01
C12P 5/00
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing modified mutant yeast and the resulting yeast that can be used as a platform for terpene production. The method includes chemical mutagenesis to effect ergosterol dependent growth in yeast. Subsequently, these yeast are subjected to an erg9 knockout mutation to thereby produce ergosterol dependent growth/erg9 knockout mutation yeast cell lines. The resulting yeast are well suited for use in the production of terpenes.
