Patent ID: 11939586
Assignee: UNIVERSITEIT GENT
Field: Biotechnology (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C | IPC C

Claim 15:
16. A plant comprising:
a first chimeric gene construct, a second chimeric gene construct, and an ERF/PAT1 complex;
the first chimeric gene construct comprising the following operably linked DNA elements:
a) a plant expressible promoter,
b) a DNA region encoding an Ethylene Response Factor (ERF) comprising an SCL/PAT1 interaction motif, and
c) a 3′ end region comprising transcription termination and polyadenylation signals functioning in cells of the plant, and

the second chimeric gene construct comprising the following operably linked DNA elements:
a) a plant expressible promoter,
b) a DNA region encoding Phytochrome A Signal Transduction 1 (PAT1), and
c) a 3′ end region comprising transcription termination and polyadenylation signals functioning in cells of the plant

wherein the ERF comprising an SCL/PAT1 interaction motif is ERF115, and
wherein the plant has increased plant cell regeneration potential without additional hormones as compared to an otherwise identical plant lacking the first chimeric gene construct and the second chimeric gene construct.
