US Patent:

7569746, Aug 4, 2009
Filed:

Aug 6, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/913202
Inventors:

Matthew A. Bailey - Des Moines IA, US
Stanton B. Gelvin - West Lafayette IN, US
Saikat Bhattacharjee - Ithaca NY, US
William J. Gordon-Kamm - Urbandale IA, US
Keith S. Lowe - Johnston IA, US
Yumin Tao - Ames IA, US
Assignee:

Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. - Johnston IA
Purdue Research Foundation - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:

C12N 15/09
C12N 15/82
A01H 5/00
US Classification:

800294, 800298, 800288, 8003173, 8003201, 800278, 435430, 435468, 435431, 435424, 435428
Abstract:

The invention relates to the use of a modified to deliver proteins directly to plant cells. Proteins of interest are delivered to the plant host in the form of a fusion protein with the virulence protein VirF. Nucleotide sequences encoding such fusion proteins of VirF and a protein of interest are provided. Also provided are bacteria modified to comprise such fusion proteins of VirF and a protein of interest. Methods of introducing such fusion proteins into a plant host are provided. The invention finds use in facilitating plant transformation and particularly in the bio-engineering of desirable traits into crop plants.

International Classification:

A01H 500
US Classification:

800278, 880298, 880288, 880306, 8803173, 8803201, 536 234, 536 231, 435424, 435425, 435430, 4242341
Abstract:

The invention relates to the use of a modified Agrobacterium to deliver proteins directly to plant cells. Proteins of interest are delivered to the plant host in the form of a fusion protein with the Agrobacterium virulence protein VirF. Nucleotide sequences encoding such fusion proteins of VirF and a protein of interest are provided. Also provided are bacteria modified to comprise such fusion proteins of VirF and a protein of interest. Methods of introducing such fusion proteins into a plant host are provided. The invention finds use in facilitating plant transformation and particularly in the bio-engineering of desirable traits into crop plants.
