Patent number: 7745698Abstract: The invention provides a novel method of controlling gene expression in plastids, using a peptide extension that can be fused to a desired protein, expression cassettes that include the genetic constructs, and plants comprising the novel expression systems. A nucleic acid sequence encoding a peptide extension fused in frame to a protein coding sequence. This genetic construct is subsequently inserted into the chloroplast genome, where the peptide extension increases expression of the fused protein. The present invention further describes the use of this method for increased production of cellulose-degrading enzymes in chloroplasts.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2006Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Thomas Ziegelhoffer, Sandra Austin-Phillips

Patent number: 7522044Abstract: A monitoring system includes a transmitter (102) with two transmit modules (208, 210) and a receiver (104) with two receive modules (212, 214). Each of the transmit modules (208, 210) generates an optical signal modulated at a unique frequency. The optical signals are transmitted across a roadway (112) and are detected by the receive modules (212, 214). When a vehicle (110) moves between the transmitter (102) and receiver (104), the optical signals are blocked. The receiver (104) generates timestamped make and break events corresponding to the blocking and unblocking of the signals, and these are used to determine parameters for the vehicle (110) such as velocity and vehicle classification. Because each signal is modulated at a different frequency, each receive module (212, 214) can distinguish the signals received from each of the transmit modules (208, 210), allowing the lane position of the vehicle (110) in a multi-lane roadway (112) to be determined.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2002Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: CEOS Industrial Pty LtdInventors: Adam Matthew Dickson, Casper Murtonen, Jonathan Spring, Austin Phillips, Terrance Robb

Publication number: 20050204419Abstract: Resistance genes and their encoded proteins from the wild potato, Solanum bulbocastanum, are disclosed. The genes and proteins are useful for conferring disease resistance to plants, particularly solanaceous species such as potato and tomato. In particular, the genes confer resistance to potato late blight. Compositions and methods that use the genes and proteins to enhance plant disease resistance are also disclosed, as are transgenic plants that comprise the resistance genes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: John Helgeson, Sandra Austin-Phillips, Sara Naess, Junqi Song, Jiming Jiang, James Bradeen, C.

Patent number: 6248938Abstract: A value-added composition of matter containing plant matter from transgenic alfalfa which expresses exogenous phytase activity is disclosed. The phytase activity is a gene product of an exogenous gene encoding for phytase which has been stably incorporated into the genome of alfalfa plants. The transgenic alfalfa expresses phytase activity in nutritionally-significant amounts, thereby enabling its use in animal feeds to eliminate the need for phosphorous supplementation of livestock, poultry, and fish feed rations.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1999Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Sandra Austin-Phillips, Richard G.

Patent number: 5824779Abstract: A value-added composition of matter isolated from the juice of a transgenic green plant is disclosed. The composition of matter includes enzymatically-active phytase, xanthophylls, and dietary protein. The phytase is a gene product of an exogenous gene encoding for phytase which has been stably incorporated into the genome of the transgenic green plant, while the xanthophylls and the dietary protein are components native to the juice of the transgenic green plant.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1996Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Richard G.
