Horst Lorz 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).

  • Nucleic acid molecules from wheat, transgenic plant cells and plants and the use thereof
    Publication number: 20030077805
    Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules are described encoding an R1-protein from wheat and methods and recombinant DNA molecules for the production of transgenic plant cells and plants synthesizing a modified starch. Additionally, the plant cells and plants resulting from those methods as well as the starch obtainable therefrom are described.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 23, 2002
    Publication date: April 24, 2003
    Inventors: Gernot Abel, Horst Lorz, Stephanie Lutticke, Ralf-Christian Schmidt
  • Plants with a modified flower and seed development
    Publication number: 20030018995
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules enabling the specific production of a plant exhibiting a modified flower development and/or autonomous embryo and/or endosperm development as components for manipulating apomixis. The invention also relates to methods to obtain said transgenic plants and to methods for isolating flower specific genes.

  • Nucleic acid molecules encoding enzymes from wheat which are involved in starch synthesis
    Publication number: 20020138876
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding enzymes which are involved in the starch synthesis in plants. These enzymes are starch synthases from wheat. The invention further relates to vectors and host cells containing said nucleic acid molecules, in particular transformed plant cells and plants regenerated from these cells, which exhibit an increased or a reduced activity of the described starch synthases.
