Abha Khandelwal has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Interfering with HD-Zip transcription factor repression of gene expression to produce plants with enhanced traits
    Patent number: 11952579
    Abstract: A recombinant DNA construct is disclosed. When the recombinant DNA construct is expressed in a plant or a plant cell, endogenous HD-Zip class II proteins become less able to repress DNA transcription of the genes they typically regulate. The recombinant DNA construct can be expressed in plant cells to produce plants with enhanced phenotypes. Methods of making transgenic plants comprising the recombinant DNA construct, and plants produced thereby are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 15, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2024
    Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLC
    Inventors: Cara L. Griffith, Abha Khandelwal, Paul J. Loida, Elena A. Rice, Rebecca L. Thompson, Sivalinganna Manjunath
