Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method to produce proteins reduced in high mannose type glycans in a plant or plant cell by partially inhibiting the expression of the Alg3 gene in said plant or plant cell. Said partial inhibition can be provided for by inserting the Alg3 mutant gene from Arabidopsis as derived from the plant line Salk_040296c or by partially inhibiting the endogenous Alg3 gene by providing the plant or plant cell either with an antisense expression, a sense co-suppressing or with an RNA inhibition genetic construct. Optionally also tissue-specific expression of said inhibiting constructs can yield partial inhibition in a plant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of transgenic plants with novel phenotypes, especially plants with enhanced drought and pathogen resistance. Provided are transgenic crop plants comprising integrated in their genome a chimeric gene, characterized by said chimeric gene comprising a transcription regulatory sequence active in plant cells operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein having the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or a protein at least 70 % identical to SEQ ID NO: 3, or an ortholog protein or a functional fragment thereof. In addition to enhanced drought tolerance the transgenic plants may show enhanced disease resistance and enhanced root structure.

Abstract:
The invention relates to the development, composition and production of mucosal (oral) vaccines for fish. More specifically, the invention relates to protein complexes for the delivery of antigens to and across mucosal surfaces of fish for the induction of an immune response, and to the production of said complexes in a host cell, preferably plants. Provided is the use of a protein complex comprising an antigen of interest fused to the B-subunit of Vibrio cholerae cholera toxin (CT-B), or Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-B) for the manufacture of an oral fish vaccine. Also provided is fish feed comprising a protein complex of the invention
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for providing plants and/or plant parts with an identification label, comprising contacting the plant or plant part with a product, comprising one or more types of tracer molecules, preferably fluorescent tracer molecules, and allowing the plant or plant part to take up the tracer molecules either inside the plant or plant parts or on the surface thereof. The invention further relates to products for use in the method and plant and plant parts treated with the method and to methods for identifying plants or plant parts carrying an identification label.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of glycoprotein processing in transgenic plants used as cost efficient and contamination safe factories for the production of recombinant biopharmaceutical proteins or pharmaceutical compositions comprising these glycoproteins. The invention provides a plant comprising a functional mammalian enzyme providing mammalian GnTIII that is normally not present in plants, said plant additionally comprising at least a second mammalian protein or functional fragment thereof that is normally not present in plants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the treatment of banana and potato plants with a composition containing natamycin and at least one phosphite containing compound.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the treatment of an agricultural product which comprises the addition of a composition which comprises phosphite and natamycin to the agricultural product wherein the composition comprises preferably less than 0.1 g lignosulphonate, more preferably less than 0.1 g polyphenol, per gram natamycin and is still more preferably free of lignosulphonate and most preferably free of polyphenol.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a method to produce a Lewis X epitope on N-linked glycans on glycoproteins in a plant, plant part or plant cells, comprising expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding a galactosyltransferase, which catalyzes the addition of galactose in βl,4-linkage to N-linked glycans, and expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding a fucosy transferase, which catalyzes the addition of fucose in αl,3-linkage to the N-acetylglucosamine of GalBl-4GlcNAc structures on N-linked glycans, and expression of one or more nucleotide sequences encoding one or more glycoproteins, which are able to be provided with an N-linked glycan, in said plant, plant part or plant cell. The fucosyltransferase comprises preferably the catalyticaal active domain of FUT9 from T. nigroviridis . Also part of the invention are hybrid enzymes with said domain and an N-terminal part which confers expression in the Golgi apparatus.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of transgenic plants with given phenotypes, especially plants with enhanced drought tolerance. Provided are SHINE proteins and nucleic acid sequences encoding these, which are useful in conferring these phenotypes to plants.
Abstract:
This invention relates to identifying a biomolecular profile of an organism. In particular, the invention relates to targeted and selected proteomics. Provided is a method for identifying a molecular profile comprising a set of molecules of an organism, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing an organism with at least one heterologous modifying activity capable of tagging at least part of said molecules with at least one tag which is otherwise not displayed in said organism, wherein said modifying activity is regulated by at least one regulatory element that allows for tagging a spatially addressable and/or temporally restricted set of molecules; b) isolating the tagged molecules to obtain a library of tagged molecules; and c) characterizing said tagged molecules.
