Greta Arnaut 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).

  • DNA encoding insecticidal Cry1Bf proteins and recombinant hosts expressing same
    Patent number: 7169971
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new DNA sequences encoding an insecticidal Cry1Bf protein and insecticidal parts thereof, which are useful to protect plants from insect damage. Also included herein are micro-organisms and plants transformed with a DNA sequence encoding an insecticidal Cry1Bf protein and processes for controlling insects and to obtain a plant resistant to insects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2007
    Assignee: Bayer Bioscience N.V.
    Inventors: Greta Arnaut, Annemie Boets, Nicole Damme, Jeroen Van Rie
  • Transgenic plants expressing insecticidal proteins and methods of producing the same
    Patent number: 7091399
    Abstract: The invention provides DNA sequences encoding insecticidal secreted proteins from bacteria and transgenic plants having insecticidal activity against coleopteran insect pests. Methods of protecting plants from damage by insects by transforming the plants with chimeric genes comprising DNA sequences encoding the insecticidal secreted proteins are also provided.
