| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5254801 | Heterologous dominant conditional lethal gene which is a phosphonate monoester hydrolase and use thereof in plants A class of heterologous dominant conditional lethal genes is disclosed. The gene is useful in genetically modifying plant cells and plants to selectively induce cellular lethality for purposes such as inducing male sterility for hybrid seed production, ce... | 10/19/1993 |
| 5250515 | Method for improving the efficacy of insect toxins A method for potentiating the insecticidal activity of a protein toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria is disclosed. A potentiating amount of trypsin inhibitor is co-administered to the insect along with the toxin. Improved insecticidal compositions ar... | 10/05/1993 |
| 5223419 | Alteration of gene expression in plants A transacting DNA binding factor is disclosed. The ASF 1 protein factor specifically binds to the sequence motif TGACG found upstream of the promoter in many plant genes. Coexpression of this protein factor augments the level of expression of the up-regul... | 06/29/1993 |
| 5188642 | Glyphosate-resistant plants This invention involves a cloning or expression vector comprising a gene which encodes 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) polypeptide which, when expressed in a plant cell contains a chloroplast transit peptide which allows the polypeptid... | 02/23/1993 |
| 5185253 | Virus resistant plants Transgenic plants are disclosed which are resistant to virus infection by Potato Virus X and Potato Virus Y. Plant genes and transformation vectors are also disclosed. Potato plants, for example, Russet Burbank variety, are made resistant to dual infectio... | 02/09/1993 |
| 5145783 | Glyphosate-tolerant 5-endolpyruvyl-3-phosphoshikimate synthase Glyphosate-tolerant 5-enolpyruvyl-3-phosphoshikimate (EPSP) synthases, DNA encoding glyphosate-tolerant EPSP synthases, plant genes encoding the glyphosate-tolerant enzymes, plant transformation vectors containing the genes, transformed plant cells and di... | 09/08/1992 |
| 5110732 | Selective gene expression in plants Fragments of the 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus are disclosed which exhibit selective expression of chimeric plant genes in plant tissue. Promoter fragment A exhibits selective expression in root tissue and the radical of the seed. Promoter frag... | 05/05/1992 |
