Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method for control of ethylene biosynthesis in plants composing a vector containing a selective gene under plant promoter control. and a DNA insert comprising codons for a functional heterologous polypeptide having AdoMetase activity and flanked by a plant promoter on one side and a polyA signal sequence on the other side; and, transforming a plant host with said vector wherein the plant host transformed thereby is capable of expressing the heterologous polypeptide having AdoMetase activity under the control of said control region. The presence and expression of AdoMetase in transgenic plants towers AdoMet levels and generates an inhibitor of ACC synthase causing a corresponding …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 12, 1990 and granted December 5, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 12, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 12, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
