Patents by Inventor Casper Linnestad

Casper Linnestad 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).

  • Seed-preferred promoters from end genes
    Patent number: 6903205
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. Compositions are novel nucleotide sequences for seed-preferred promoters isolated from genes for end1 and end2. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the disclosed promoter sequences is provided. The method comprises transforming a plant cell to comprise a heterologous nucleotide sequence operably linked to one of the promoters of the invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant from the transformed plant cell.
    Type: Grant

  • Promoter from a lipid transfer protein gene
    Patent number: 6031152
    Abstract: An expression system for at least the aleurone cells of a developing caryopsis or for at least the scutellar epithelial tissue or vascular tissue of a germinating seedling or developing grain or plant (e.g. in the root, leaves and stem) is described. The expression system comprises a gene promoter fused to a GOI (gene of interest). In a preferred embodiment the expression system comprises the GOI fused to a modified Ltp1 promoter.
