The invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the polypeptide having galacturonosyltransferase (GaIAT) activity. The GALA T 1 disclosed represents the first pectin biosynthetic glycosyltransferase gene isolated from plants. The invention further provides 14 GALAT and 10 GALATlike gene superfamily members. The identification of the GALAT gene superfamily offers new opportunities to modulate pectin synthesisin vivo and in vitro by modulating the GALAT gene, for example transgenic plants that , produce modified pectins can be generated by altering the GALAT gene. Since modified pectins are predicted to affect plant growth development, and plant , defense responses the …

Listed from its CIPO record in Patent Yard's archive of Canadian patents past their term. Its claims, description and drawings are in the CIPO record and on Google Patents, and the Claude kit works from them.
Why it's free to use
- Filed February 5, 2004 and granted October 8, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 5, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 5, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
