Patents by Inventor Aditya VAIDYA

Aditya VAIDYA 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).

  • Unusually potent ABA receptor pan-antagonists
    Patent number: 11641857
    Abstract: The present invention sets forth new compounds that potently block activation of ABA receptors. In some aspects, these compounds can be used to enhance germination of crop seeds to stand establishment and to increase transpiration and photosynthetic yields when water is not limiting plant growth.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2023
    Assignee: The Regents of The University of California
    Inventors: Sean R. Cutler, Aditya Vaidya
  • OVERPOWERED ABA RECEPTOR AGONISTS
    Publication number: 20210112808
    Abstract: The present invention sets forth small novel abscisic acid (ABA) receptor agonist scaffolds and compounds with potent in vivo activity. In some aspects, the present invention provides agricultural formulations and methods comprising the ABA receptor agonists described herein, such as methods of managing crop water use and improving stress tolerance (e.g., drought tolerance). In some preferred embodiments, the inventive compounds have improved properties relative to the current “best in-class” molecules quinabactin and its derivatives.

  • ABA receptor agonists that modulate transpiration
    Patent number: 10905120
    Abstract: The present invention provides agonist compounds that activate ABA receptors, agricultural formulations comprising the agonist compounds, and methods of use for the compounds and formulations. The agricultural formulations are useful for inducing ABA responses in plant vegetative tissues, reducing abiotic stress in plants, and inhibiting germination of plant seeds. The compounds are also useful for inducing expression of ABA-responsive genes in cells that express endogenous or heterologous ABA receptors.
