Title: Angela L McKean: Innovator in Agricultural Biotechnology
Introduction
Angela L McKean is a prominent inventor based in Cary, NC (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of agricultural biotechnology, particularly in the development of transgenic crops. With a total of 2 patents, her work focuses on enhancing the nutritional qualities of plants.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Transgenic corn having enhanced nutritional qualities." This invention provides transgenic corn seed that expresses a gene encoding a double mutant of the glgC gene in endosperm plastids. The mutant protein features a proline to aspartic acid substitution at amino acid 295 and a glutamic acid to lysine substitution at amino acid 296. The transgenic corn seed is characterized by enhanced levels of several amino acids and oil compared to isogenic corn seed that does not express the transgene in an endosperm plastid. However, the amount of starch in the transgenic corn seed is decreased or unchanged when compared to the isogenic control corn seed. Another notable patent is "Plant like starches and the method of making them in hosts." This invention relates to hosts containing constructs with genes from the starch pathway, particularly bacterial hosts that form plant-like starches. It also pertains to plant hosts that have genes from the starch pathway and the starches produced by these hosts.
