David C. Warner 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).

  • Transgenic monocots plants with increased glycine-betaine content
    Patent number: 6281411
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for conferring tolerance or resistance to water or salt stress in a monocot plant, and/or altering the osmoprotectant content of a monocot plant, by introducing a preselected DNA segment into the plant. This invention also relates to the transformed cells and seeds, and to the fertile plants grown from the transformed cells and to their pollen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 1996
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2001
    Assignee: Dekalb Genetics Corporation
    Inventors: Thomas R. Adams, Paul C. Anderson, Richard J. Daines, William Gordon-Kamm, Albert P. Kausch, Michael T. Mann, Peter M. Orr, David C. Warner
  • Methods for classifying plants for evaluation and breeding programs by use of remote sensing and image analysis technology
    Patent number: 6212824
    Abstract: Methods for classifying plants by remote sensing and image analysis technology are presented. These methods are useful for evaluating plants and for selecting plants for a plant breeding program which has as its goal to selectively alter phenotype. The methods combine the newer techniques of remote sensing technology to obtain indirect correlates of the traits of interest, with classical pedigree breeding strategies. Thermal and infrared reflectance measures of plant canopies are examples of energy values measured by remote sensing, used to indirectly predict the selected traits.
