Patents by Inventor Csaba Koncz

Csaba Koncz 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).

  • Gene synthesis method
    Patent number: 6110668
    Abstract: A method of gene synthesis is disclosed. The gene synthesis method permits the codons of [m] natural gene to be changed to allow preferential transcription and translation of the synthetic gene in transgenic organisms. The method utilizes a combination of enzymatic and chemical synthesis of DNA and significantly reduces the cost, time and number of steps required for construction of synthetic genes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 1996
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2000
    Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Wissenschaften E.V.
    Inventors: Nicolai Strizhov, Csaba Koncz, Jeff Schell
  • Synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis cryic gene encoding insect toxin
    Patent number: 6043415
    Abstract: The present invention relateds to a synthetic version of a gene isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis encoding an insectidical crystal protein designated CryIC, plants transformed with the gene, and the insecticidal crystal protein toxin expressed by the gene, all of which are used to control insects of the Spodoptera species as well as those of the Mamestra species.

  • Nucleic acid molecules encoding cytochrome P450-type proteins involved in the brassinosteroid synthesis in plants
    Patent number: 5952545
    Abstract: The invention describes nucleic acid molecules encoding cytochrome P450-t proteins involved in the brassionosteroid synthesis in plants, transgenic plant cells and plants containing such nucleic acid molecules as well as processes for the identification of other proteins involved in brassinosteroid synthesis and processes for the identification of substances acting as brassinosteroids or as brassinosteroid inhibitors in plants.
