Bruce Allan Philip 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).

  • NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING CHIMERIC POLYPEPTIDES ALLOWING EXPRESSION OF PLANT-NOXIOUS PROTEINS
    Publication number: 20080235822
    Abstract: This invention relates to nucleic acids encoding chimeric polypeptides comprising vacuole targeting sequences and plant-noxious sequences and especially pest control proteins. The polypeptides are useful in methods for targeting non-vacuolar harmful proteins to plant vacuoles. Chimeric polypeptides of the invention containing pest control proteins are useful for conferring pest resistance on plants and in the production of compositions useful as pesticides.
