Patent number: 8604279Abstract: The present invention relates to a new, distinct and stable variety of glyphosate tolerant perennial ryegrass, botanically known as Lolium perenne L. of the Poaceae family, and hereinafter referred to by the variety denomination ‘JS501’. The present invention relates to glyphosate tolerant perennial ryegrass ‘JS501’ plants, as well as, progeny or hybrid plants, seed, plant parts, harvested products, tissue cultures of regenerable cells, and protoplasts obtained from the glyphosate tolerant perennial ryegrass plants or plant tissues of ‘JS501’, and containing morphological and physiological characteristics of ‘JS501’. The present invention further relates to methods of producing non-transgenic and transgenic glyphosate tolerant grass plants and plant tissues from conventional breeding techniques and molecular techniques, wherein the produced glyphosate tolerant grass plants and plant tissues comprise the isolated perennial ryegrass 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) polypeptide of ‘JS501’.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2010Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: J.R. Simplot CompanyInventors: Andrew Douglas Brede, Susan H. Samudio, Caius Rommens, Jingsong Ye

Patent number: 5723720Abstract: Beneficial endophytes which live within certain plants are known to provide desirable, cost-effective biological insect control. Many naturally occurring grasses host symbiotic endophytic fungi. However, beneficial endophytes have never been found in several species of turf grass, including species of bentgrasses and Kentucky bluegrasses, two commercially important turf grasses which are used extensively on golf courses and for lawn turfs. The invention of this application relates to new methods of inoculating plant tissues which allow the development of endophyte-enhanced varieties of turfgrasses, and to the turf grass varieties produced using the methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: March 3, 1998Assignee: J. R. Simplot CompanyInventors: A. Douglas Brede, Suichang Sun
