Kendrick Akira Uyeda 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).

  • Bacillus thuringiensis isolates and toxins
    Patent number: 6689743
    Abstract: Disclosed claimed are toxins produced by novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS92J, B.t. PS196S1, B.t. PS201L1, and B.t. PS201T6, which have dipteran and/or corn rootworm activity. Thus, the isolates, or mutants therof, can be used to control such pests. Further, claimed are novel genes encoding these &dgr;-endotoxins, which can be expressed in other hosts. Expression of the &dgr;-endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of susceptible insect pests in the environment of such hosts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2000
    Date of Patent: February 10, 2004
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Jewel Payne, Kenneth E. Narva, Kendrick Akira Uyeda, Christine Julie Stalder, Tracy Ellis Michaels
  • Process for controlling lepidopteron pests
    Patent number: 6294184
    Abstract: The subject disclosure concerns Bacillus thuringiensis strains which can be used to control lepidopteran pests. The strains were previously known to control coleopteran pests. The discovery of lepidopteran activity was totally unexpected. These B.t. strains can be formulated using standard lepidopteran formulation procedures. Means of administration are also standard. The genes encoding lepidopteran-active toxins can be isolated from the B.t. isolates and used to transform other microbes or plants for use to control lepidopteran pests.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 25, 2001
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Kendrick Akira Uyeda, Gregory Alan Bradfisch
  • Polynucleotides encoding a 130 kDa pesticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis isolate PS201T6
    Patent number: 6150165
    Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are approximately 130 kDa toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis PS201T6, which can be used to control pests. Further, claimed are novel genes encoding these .delta.-endotoxins, which can be expressed in other hosts. Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of susceptible insect pests in the environment of such hosts results in the control of susceptible insect pests in the environment of such hosts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 31, 1998
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2000

  • Bacillus thuringiensis isolates and toxins
    Patent number: 5888976
    Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are toxins produced by novel Bacillus thuringiensis insolates designated B.t. PS92J, B.t. PS196S1, B.t. PS201L1; and B.t. PS201T6, which have dipteran and/or corn rootworm activity. Thus, the insolates, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such pests. Further, claimed are novel genes encoding these .delta.-emdotoxins, which can be expressed in other hosts, Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of susceptible insect pests in the environment of such hosts.
