Expressing the gene coding for this protein in crop plants will greatly improve the nutritional quality of the resulting crops. The gene has also been observed to increase the overall level of protein production in a plant. This property will allow enhanced levels of production of other valuable proteins by a plant.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 27, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 27, 2019.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
