Patents by Inventor Daniel Gallie

Daniel Gallie 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).

  • Engineering single-gene-controlled staygreen potential into plants
    Publication number: 20070192901
    Abstract: The enzymes of the ACC synthase family are used in producing ethylene. Nucleotide and polypeptide sequences of ACC synthases are provided along with knockout plant cells having inhibition in expression and/or activity in an ACC synthase and knockout plants displaying a staygreen phenotype, a male sterility phenotype, or an inhibition in ethylene production. Methods for modulating staygreen potential in plants, methods for modulating sterility in plants, and methods for inhibiting ethylene production in plants are also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 24, 2007
    Publication date: August 16, 2007
    Inventors: Daniel Gallie, Robert Meeley, Todd Young
  • Generation of multiple embryo maize
    Publication number: 20050251884
    Abstract: The present invention is generally related to plant genetic engineering. In particular, the invention provides methods of inhibiting programmed cell death in maize and other grasses. This invention also provides transgenic maize plants having kernels with multiple embryos and kernels from transgenic maize plants having multiple embryos.
    Type: Application

  • Genes which produce staygreen characteristics in maize and their uses
    Publication number: 20050066389
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to plant genetic engineering. In particular, it is directed to producing green leaves in maize through inhibition of ethylene. The genes involved in producing this phenotype include 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate (“ACC”) synthase, ACC oxidase, ACC deaminase, ethylene response sensor (“ERS”), ethylene resistant (“ETR”), and ethylene insensitive (“EIN”).
