GENOME EDITING OF TRANSGENIC CROP PLANTS WITH MODIFIED TRANSGENIC LOCI - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240294937 titled 'GENOME EDITING OF TRANSGENIC CROP PLANTS WITH MODIFIED TRANSGENIC LOCI
Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses methods for removing selectable marker genes and non-essential DNAs from transgenic plants, as well as making targeted genetic changes using genome editing techniques. It also covers transgenic plants lacking these markers and DNAs, and their use in plant breeding.
- Methods for selectively excising selectable marker genes and non-essential DNAs from transgenic loci in plants
- Techniques for making targeted genetic changes using genome editing methods
- Transgenic plants with modified loci lacking selectable markers and non-essential DNAs
- Application of these methods and plants in facilitating plant breeding
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in agricultural research to develop genetically modified plants with specific traits. It can also aid in creating plants with improved resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stress.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of removing selectable marker genes and non-essential DNAs from transgenic plants, which can be important for regulatory approval and public acceptance of genetically modified crops.
Benefits: The technology allows for precise genetic modifications in plants, leading to the development of improved crop varieties with desired traits. It also streamlines the process of creating transgenic plants by removing unnecessary genetic elements.
Commercial Applications: "Selective Marker Excision in Transgenic Plants" can have significant commercial applications in the agriculture industry, particularly in the development of genetically modified crops with enhanced characteristics for increased yield and resilience.
Questions about Selective Marker Excision in Transgenic Plants:
1. How does the technology of selective marker excision benefit plant breeding efforts? 2. What are the potential regulatory implications of using genome editing techniques in transgenic plants?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods of selectively excising selectable marker genes and/or non-essential dnas from transgenic loci from transgenic plants as well as making targeted genetic changes with genome editing techniques are provided. also provided are transgenic plants comprising the transgenic loci lacking the selectable markers and/or non-essential dnas and use of such methods and plants to facilitate plant breeding are disclosed.
