Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Plant growth habit is altered by causing either under-expression or over-expression of profilin in a plant cell. Under-expression of profilin can be achieved by transforming a plant or plant cell with a gene expressing an antisense mRNA complementary to the mRNA transcribed by the coding sequence of a profilin gene and expressing the gene in the plant or plant cell such that the antisense mRNA inhibits the production of the profilin in the plant or plant cell. Under-expression of profilins in plants can lead to such alterations in growth habit as a dwarf phenotype a, reduced root and root hair system, and delay in the onset of flowering. Over-expression of profilin can be achieved by …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 9, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 9, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 9, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
