| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6252138 | Pathogen-induced plant promoters New pathogen-induced promoters are provided, particularly nematode-induced promoters, which are characterized by their selective induction of expression in the vicinity of the pathogen infection sites, such as the fixed feeding cells induced by infection ... | 06/26/2001 |
| 6140553 | Transformation method for plants A process for integrating a DNA fragment into the genome of a cell of a monocotyledonous plant, the process comprising the steps of: 1) incubating, prior to contacting with the DNA fragment, a culture of untransformed monocotyledonous plant cells on a medium c... | 10/31/2000 |
| 6046382 | Plants with modified flowers A plant, the nuclear genome of which is transformed with a foreign DNA sequence encoding a product which neutralizes the activity of another product which disrupts the metabolism, functioning and/or development selectively of the plant's flower cells, par... | 04/04/2000 |
| 6025546 | Method to obtain male sterile plants A plant having in the nuclear genome of its cells foreign DNA comprising a male-sterility gene comprising: a male-sterility DNA encoding a sterility RNA, protein or polypeptide which, when produced or overproduced in a stamen cell of the plant, significantly d... | 02/15/2000 |
| 6002070 | Process for transforming monocotyledonous plants The present invention provides a rapid and efficient method for transforming monocotyledonous plants. The invention particularly relates to the use of either intact tissue capable of forming compact embryogenic callus or compact embryogenic callus obtaine... | 12/14/1999 |
| 5994526 | Gene expression in plants The present invention provides chimeric genes that comprise a first promoter recognized by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase different from a eukaryotic RNA polymerase II; a DNA region encoding a chimeric RNA which comprises a 5' UTR, an AU-rich heterologous... | 11/30/1999 |
| 5628995 | Control of Ostrinia A method to combat or control Ostrinia nubilalis by contacting such insects with a CryIB protein or a combination of a CryIB protein and a CryIAb or CryIAc protein.... | 05/13/1997 |
| 5589610 | Stamen-specific promoters from corn The invention relates to stamen-specific promoters derived from corn genes. These promoters includes two DNA sequences selected from sequences in SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:3. The invention also includes DNA including the stamen-specific promoters operably ... | 12/31/1996 |
| 5561236 | Genetically engineered plant cells and plants exhibiting resistance to glutamine synthetase inhibitors, DNA fragments and recombinants for use in the production of said cells and plants The invention relates to a DNA fragment containing a determined gene, the expression of which inhibits the antibiotic and herbicidal effects of Bialaphos and related products. It also relates to recombinant vectors, containing such DNA fragment, which ena... | 10/01/1996 |
| 5466597 | Bacillus thuringiensis strains and their genes encoding insecticidal toxins Two new Bacillus thuringiensis strains, which are deposited at the DSM under accession nos 5870 and 5871, produce new crystal proteins during sporulation that are toxic to Coleoptera and that are encoded by new genes. The crystal proteins contain protoxin... | 11/14/1995 |
| 5460963 | Plants transformed with a DNA sequence from Bacillus thuringiensis lethal to Lepidoptera A plant cell transformed with all or part of a Bacillus thuringiensis gene coding for either a 130 or 132 kDa protoxin against Lepidoptera, preferably with a part of the gene coding just for the respective 62 or 60 kDa trypsin-digestion product of the pro... | 10/24/1995 |
| 5369027 | Bacillus thuringiensis strains toxic to diabrotica species Two new Bacillus thuringiensis strains, BTS02584B and BTS02584C, produce insecticidal components that are toxic to Coleoptera, more particularly toxic to Diabrotica spp. The strains themselves, their sporulated cultures, or their insecticidally effective ... | 11/29/1994 |
| 5300629 | Bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic peptides isolated from hemolymph of honeybees New bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic, thermostable peptides which are isolated from hemolymph of immune honeybees and which are distinct from lysozymes, attacins, cecropins, diptericins and magainins. The peptides feature at least the 10 C-terminal amin... | 04/05/1994 |
| 5254799 | Transformation vectors allowing expression of Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxins in plants Novel transformation vectors containing novel chimeric genes allow the introduction of exogenous DNA fragments coding for polypeptide toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis or having substantial sequence homology to a gene coding for a polypeptide toxi... | 10/19/1993 |
