  • Coleus plant named 'UF0843'
    Publication number: 20120260376
    Abstract: ‘UF0843’ is a novel coleus plant distinguished by having excellent bold lemon-lime/green-yellow foliage color which maintains bright color in both sun and shade conditions, novel leaf shape, excellent vigor, and desirable late-flowering characteristics, as disclosed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 8, 2011
    Publication date: October 11, 2012
    Inventors: David G. Clark, Grayson Clark
  • Coleus plant named 'UF08174'
    Publication number: 20120260377
    Abstract: ‘UF08174’ is a new coleus plant distinguished by having stable maroon/lime-green foliage color which maintains bright color in both sun and shade conditions, vigorous mounded habit with excellent branching, and desirable late-flowering characteristics, as disclosed.

  • Floral organ tissue-specific expression of isopentenyl transferase
    Patent number: 7253340
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for the production of transgenic plants, plant cells, embryos, and seeds that produce plants with floral organs that have increased mass and/or size as compared to wild-type plants. The transgenic plants can be transformed with a genetic construct comprising an ipt gene under the control of an APETAL3 promoter.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 7, 2007
    Assignee: University of Florida Research Foundation
    Inventors: David Grayson Clark, Holly Marie Loucas
  • Genetic elements from FBP3 of conferring flower specific transgene expression
    Patent number: 7217859
    Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant promoters that drive tissue-specific expression, and transgenes comprising such recombinant promoters. Specifically, the invention provides transgenes comprising a recombinant promoter that drives tissue-specific expression of a heterologous nucleic acid molecule in a floral organ. The invention also provides methods for using such transgenes to produce a protein in a plant host cell or transgenic plant. The invention further provides methods for producing a transgenic plant that produces, for example, longer-lasting flowers, better fragrance, or better or longer-lasting color as compared to a wild type plant.
    Type: Grant
