Patents Assigned to Agrigenetics, L.P.
  • OCS element
    Patent number: 5837849
    Abstract: A DNA fragment is provided which is a plant enhancer element capable of activating or enhancing the transcription level of a plant-expressible gene consisting essentially of a consensus sequence selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## and its reverse sequence. Said DNA fragment may also contain a second sequence 5' -ACGTAAGCGCTTACGT-3'. These sequences bind with ocs transcription factor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 1995
    Date of Patent: November 17, 1998

  • European corn borer resistance genetic markers
    Patent number: 5723596
    Abstract: This invention provides means for identifying maize plants having resistance to the European corn borer (ECB). Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) marker probes which are genetically linked to loci which condition ECB resistance are provided. These probes are useful in breeding programs to identify ECB resistant gene types and thus allow the resistance traits to be introduced into non-resistant or less resistant corn varieties.

  • Ocs-element
    Patent number: 5710267
    Abstract: A DNA fragment is provided which is a plant enhancer element capable of activating or enhancing the transcription level of a plant-expressible gene consisting essentially of a consensus sequence selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## and its reverse sequence. Said DNA fragment may also contain a second sequence 5'-ACGTAAGCGCTTACGT-3'. These sequences bind with ocs transcription factor.
