David Kenigsbuch 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).

  • Plants resistant to cytoplasm-feeding parasites
    Patent number: 8716554
    Abstract: The present invention relates to transgenic plants resistant to parasites that their normal life cycle includes feeding on the plant cytoplasm, including insects, nematodes and fungi, wherein the plants are engineered to produce small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) capable of silencing a parasite specific gene. Particularly the parasite gene is a stage-specific gene, more particularly a gene involved in essential, early developmental stages of the parasite in or on the plant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2014
    Assignee: Rahan Meristem (1998) Ltd. Plant Propagation & Biotechnology

  • Transgenic plants having resistance to a fungal disease
    Publication number: 20030172396
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel nucleic acid sequences, which upon their transformation into plants, provide the later with resistance to plant fungal diseases, in particular to downy mildew disease. The nucleic acids of the invention, one or more thereof, are transformed into a plant cell, from which said plant is generated. Such plants also form part of the invention. The nucleic acid of the invention may also be used for mass production of biologically functional proteins or peptides encoded thereby.
