Patents by Inventor Yonnie Shun Wu

Yonnie Shun Wu 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).

  • Antifungal polypeptide and methods for controlling plant pathogenic fungi
    Publication number: 20040064850
    Abstract: An antifungal polypeptide, AlyAFP, that controls fungal damage to plants is provided. DNA encoding this polypeptide can be cloned into vectors for transformation of plant-colonizing microorganisms or plants, thereby providing a method of inhibiting fungal growth on plants. The polypeptide can be formulated into compositions that can be used to control undesired fingi on plants and elsewhere.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 9, 2003
    Publication date: April 1, 2004
    Inventors: Jihong Liang, Dilip Maganlal Shah, Yonnie Shun Wu, Cindy Annette Rosenberger

  • Nucleic acid sequences encoding an antifungal polypeptide, aly AFP from alyssum and methods for their use
    Patent number: 6215048
    Abstract: Isolated DNA molecules encoding an AlyAFP antifungal polypeptide from Alyssum are disclosed. The isolated DNA molecules comprise the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:12 or encode the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. Also disclosed are vectors and transgenic plants comprising said DNA molecules and a method for reducing fungal damage in a plant with said DNA molecule. The isolated DNA molecules may be used to prepare transgenic plants that exhibit reduced damage from fungi as compared to non-transgenic plants. The isolated DNA molecules may be used in combination with additional nucleic acid sequences encoding anti-fungal or anti-insect proteins or polypeptides.
