view source
US Patent:

6361935, Mar 26, 2002
Filed:

Apr 8, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/269975
Inventors:

Peter L. Keeling - Ames IA
Francie G. Dunlap - Ames IA
Ming Chang - Ames IA
Assignee:

ExSeed Genetics LLC - Owensboro KY
International Classification:

C12Q 100
US Classification:

435 4, 536 45, 536102, 8003203, 800320, 800298, 800260, 800263, 800276, 426 18, 426549
Abstract:

Broadly, the present invention relates to mutating starch genes in polyploid cereal grains. Specifically, this invention concerns mutant wheat plants, mutant wheat grain and the starch therefrom.

Animal Feed With Low Phytic Acid, Oil, Burdened And Protein Laden Grain

US Patent:

6774288, Aug 10, 2004
Filed:

Jan 6, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/477371
Inventors:

Ming-Tang Chang - Ames IA
Peter L. Keeling - Ames IA
Edward P. Wilhelm - Ames IA
Jerry C. Weigel - Decatur IL
Assignee:

BASF Plant Science L.L.C. - Research Triangle Park NC
International Classification:

A01H 510
US Classification:

8003201, 800264, 800270, 800276
Abstract:

The present invention provides grain, seed, feed made from the grain or seed, petfood made from the grain, and food products made from the grain. The grain may be maize grain with the following characteristics: oil burdened, elevated protein content, and low phytate levels. The combination of oil burdened, protein laden, decreased phytate characteristics in grain makes a grain that provides more calories, protein and phosphorus and other nutrients to the feeding animal. Pet foods, and animal feds and corn food products made of the present invention will provide increased nutrition because of the increased bioavailability of the components of the grain.

Food Products Containing Altered Starch

US Patent:

6881433, Apr 19, 2005
Filed:

Jul 20, 1998
Appl. No.:

09/118990
Inventors:

Peter Lewis Keeling - Ames IA, US
Ming-Tang Chang - Ames IA, US
International Classification:

A23L001/0522
US Classification:

426661, 426578
Abstract:

Novel plants having an altered ability to produce starch, including an improved ability to produce structurally-altered starch or starch of altered quality are disclosed. The invention further relates to processes for obtaining such plants, wherein mutant plants are intercrossed to affect starch biosynthesis.

US Patent:

7141659, Nov 28, 2006
Filed:

Jul 28, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/628525
Inventors:

Peter Keeling - Ames IA, US
Hanping Guan - Ames IA, US
Assignee:

BASF Plant Science GmbH - Ludwigshafen
International Classification:

C07H 21/04
A61K 49/14
C12P 19/14
US Classification:

536 231, 435 691, 4353201, 435 99, 530350, 530370, 424 9
Abstract:

The present invention relates to a recombinant nucleic acid encoding a hybrid polypeptide which comprises a transit peptide for the translocation of the polypeptide into an appropriate organelles such as plastids, a starch-encapsulating region from maize starch synthase and a payload polypeptide, wherein said payload polypeptide can be either N- or C-terminal to the starch encapsulating region. The invention also relates to the expression vectors comprising said nucleic acid, and hosts comprising the said vector. Also, the invention encompasses methods of producing the hybrid polypeptide thereof from starch and particularly from starch granules, and industrial uses of the payload polypeptide recombinantly produced in said hybrid polypeptide wherein said payload polypeptide is a biologically active molecule.

Abstract:

This invention relates to a method of producing a starch with unique functionality in plants through mutableness, and/or using biotechnology, and/or breeding practices. Further the invention relates to the starch from maize plants and/or other plants which produce starch storing organs which contain low amylose starch which has an amylose content between 1. 5% and 15% and preferably between 1. 5% and 10% and most preferably 1. 5 and 8%. The invention includes starch extracted from such grain due to at least one mutation induced by ethyl methanesulfonate. Additionally, the invention uses a biotechnology approach involving controlling the activity of the granule bound starch synthase enzyme in starch storing organ. The invention includes the use of the starch for its cooking, paste, and gel properties.
