Patents by Inventor Verena Cameron-Mills

Verena Cameron-Mills 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).

  • Low lipoxygenase 1 barley
    Patent number: 6660915
    Abstract: Barley plants having reduced lipoxygenase-1 enzyme activity are provided, for example, barley plants expressing mutant LOX-1 protein. The barley plants of the invention are useful in the production of plant products such as malt and brewed beverages, particularly beer, having increased stability and reduced T2N potential.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2000
    Date of Patent: December 9, 2003
    Inventors: Anna Christina Douma, Albert Doderer, Verena Cameron-Mills, Birgitte Skadhauge, Lene Moelskov Bech, Natalie Schmitt, Jolanda Carolina Heistek, Johannes Reinier van Mechelen

  • Germination-specific plant promoters
    Patent number: 6359196
    Abstract: Tissue-specific regulatory sequences, including promoters from barley (Hordeum vulgare) genes encoding &agr;-glucosidase and cystatin-1 (cysteine protease inhibitor) have been identified and isolated. The gene promoters have particular utility in directing high level, germination preferred expression of heterologous proteins that impart increased agronomic and malting characteristics to a given plant. In addition, the invention relates to methods of producing transgenic plants by using chimeric genes, cassette vectors, kits, cells and methods comprising the promoter and signal sequence coding region of the gene for barley &agr;-glucosidase and the gene for barley cystatin-1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 1999

  • Arabinoxylan degradation
    Patent number: 6031155
    Abstract: A genomic nucleic acid sequence encoding a 62 kDa barley endoxylanase has been isolated and characterized. The genomic DNA sequences are used to transform plant cells for expression of enhanced amounts of active endoxylanase.
    Type: Grant
