Patents by Inventor Adrian Paul Brown

Adrian Paul Brown 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).

  • DNA sequence encoding plant 2-acyltransferase
    Patent number: 6583340
    Abstract: Plants, particularly transgenic plants, may be produced having a 2-acyltransferase enzyme from Limnanthes with an altered substrate specificity compared to the native enzyme. For example, oil seed rape (Brassica napus) may contain the 2-acyltransferase transgene derived from Limnanthes douglasii in order to produce trierucin. The cDNA sequence of Limnanthes douglasii 2-acyltransferase and its equivalents protein sequence are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 1997
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2003
    Assignee: Gene Shears Pty. Limited
    Inventors: Antoni Ryszard Slabas, Adrian Paul Brown, Clare Louise Brough, Johannes Theodorus Maria Kroon
  • Plant expressing 2-acyltransferase
    Patent number: 6194640
    Abstract: Plants, particularly transgenic plants, maybe produced having a 2-acyltransferase enzyme or other insoluble acyltransferase enzyme with an altered substrate specificity compared to the native enzyme. For example, oil seed rape (Brassica napus) may contain a 2-acyltransferase transgene derived from Limnanthes douglassi in order to increase the erucic acid content of the oil. The cDNA sequence of maize (Zea mays) 2-acyltransferase is disclosed and is useful for cloning acyltransferase genes and/or CDNAs from other organisms, including L. douglassi.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 1998
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2001
    Assignee: Biogemma UK Limited
    Inventors: Antoni Ryszard Slabas, Adrian Paul Brown
  • DNA encoding a 2-acyltransferases
    Patent number: 5945323
    Abstract: Plants, particularly transgenic plants, may be produced having a 2-acyltransferase enzyme or other insoluble acyltransferase enzyme with an altered substrate specificity compared to the native enzyme. For example, oil seed rape (Brassica napus) may contain a 2-acyltransferase transgene derived from Limnanthes douglassi in order to increase the erucic acid content of the oil. The cDNA sequence of maize (Zea mays) 2-acyltransferase is disclosed and is useful for cloning acyltransferase genes and/or cDNAs from other organisms, including L. douglassi.

  • DNA encoding 2-acyltransferases
    Patent number: 5843739
    Abstract: Plants, particularly transgenic plants, may be produced having a 2-acyltransferase enzyme or other insoluble acyltransferase enzyme with an altered substrate specificity compared to the native enzyme. For example, oil seed rape (Brassica napus) may contain a 2-acyltransferase transgene derived from Limnanthes douglassi in order to increase the erucic acid content of the oil. The cDNA sequence of maize (Zea mays) 2-acyltansferase is disclosed and is useful for cloning acyltransferase genes and/or cDNAs from other organisms, including L. douglassi.
