  • EGMS Rice Lines and Their F1 Hybrids
    Publication number: 20240188522
    Abstract: Male-sterile EGMS rice lines, both conventional and herbicide-tolerant, and their Fi hybrids are disclosed. The EGMS lines can produce Fi hybrids with high yield, desirable agronomic traits, and good milling characteristics.

    Publication date: June 13, 2024
    Applicant: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College
    Inventors: James H. Oard, Democrito Banay Rebong ll
  • Hybrid rice designated ‘LAH169’
    Patent number: 10834885
    Abstract: A hybrid rice designated ‘LAH169’ is disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2020
    Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College
    Inventors: James H. Oard, Steven D. Linscombe
  • Resistance to Acetolactate Synthase-Inhibiting Herbicides
    Publication number: 20110053777
    Abstract: Nucleotide sequences are disclosed that may be used to impart herbicide resistance to green plants. The sources of novel herbicide resistance were originally isolated in mutant Coreopsis plants. Green plants transformed with these sequences are resistant to herbicides that normally inhibit acetolactate synthase (ALS), particularly imidazolinone and sulfonylurea herbicides.

  • Rice ubiquitin-derived promoters
    Patent number: 6528701
    Abstract: Four rice ubiquitin genes have been sequenced, including the promoter region. Among the four promoters, two belong to a class known as polyubiquitin genes and two to the class of ubiquitin fusion genes. The two polyubiquitin genes both comprise of 6 ubiquitin-monomers in the coding region. Promoters isolated from the polyubiquitin genes were shown to drive strong constitutive expression in transformed rice plants. Expression of the one polyubiquitin gene was induced by heat-shock treatment. The ubiquitin promoters can be used to drive expression of structural genes including but not limited to genes for herbicide resistance, resistance to pests, and tolerance to drought or other adverse environmental conditions.
