Detection of abiotic stress - Summary

This chapter introduces two patent families, both filed by Syngenta Participations AG, that used microarray technology to identify polynucleotide sequences that have altered expression in a plant that has been exposed to cold, saline, or osmotic stress (or combinations of the stresses).  There are several differences between the two patent families:[add a comment]

* The plants in this column were used to identify polynucleotides and polypeptides of interest, however the claims in the patent documents are not limited to them.[add a comment]

Both patent families contain claims that are generally drawn towards use of the stress-responsive regulatory elements (nucleotide sequence that affects transcription of the corresponding coding region) to create sentinel plants that can detect presence of stress.[add a comment]
