Patents by Inventor Jumin Tu

Jumin Tu 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).

  • Patent number: 11674146
    Abstract: Provided are a gene combination used for controlling foreign gene expression in a specific plant tissue, and a method applying the gene combination to cultivate a transgenic plant. The method is used to cultivate, for example, an endosperm zero expression-type transgenic rice, i.e., rice grain endosperm produced by the rice does not contain any transgenic product protein synthesis and accumulation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 31, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2023
    Assignees: Zhejiang University, China National Rice Research Institute
    Inventors: Jumin Tu, Hao Chen, Peisong Hu, Ju Luo, Xiaobo Zhang, Yujun Liu

  • Patent number: 9879056
    Abstract: Provided are an artificially designed and modified insecticidal protein or a segment thereof. The insecticidal protein belongs to a Vip3A-type insecticidal protein. The protein or the segment thereof has an insecticidal activity against a pest, especially a lepidoptera pest. Also provided are a nucleic acid for coding the protein or the segment thereof, an insecticidal composition, a DNA constructor, and a transformed microorganism or a plant comprising the nucleic acid, and a method for controlling a pest, especially a plant pest.

  • Patent number: 9663794
    Abstract: Provided in the present invention are a separated endogenous rice gene resistant to high temperature (hereinafter referred to as the OsZFP gene for short) and a polypeptide encoded thereby, optimizing rice cells comprising the heat-resistant gene of the present invention or the polypeptide encoded thereby, and the plant cell preparation method thereof. Further provided are new methods and technologies for breeding new varieties of heat-resistant crops, comprising the related regulatory sequence for heat-resistance and a closely linked molecular marker denoting the heat-resistant gene and the sequence thereof.
