Kitisri Sukhapinda 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 encoding an insecticidal protein toxin from photorhabdus
    Patent number: 7569748
    Abstract: Proteins from the genus Photorhabdus are toxic to insects upon exposure. Photorhabdus luminescens (formerly Xenorhabdus luminescens) have been found in mammalian clinical samples and as a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic nematodes of genus Heterohabditis. These protein toxins can be applied to, or genetically engineered into, insect larvae food and plants for insect control.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2002
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2009
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Jerald C. Ensign, David J. Bowen, James Petell, Raymond Fatig, Sue Schoonover, Richard H. Ffrench-Constant, Thomas A. Rocheleau, Michael B. Blackburn, Timothy D. Hey, Donald J. Merlo, Gregory L Orr, Jean L. Roberts, James A. Strickland, Lining Guo, Todd A. Ciche, Kitisri Sukhapinda
  • Antibody-mediated down-regulation of plant proteins
    Patent number: 6767742
    Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies expressed in plant cells bind targeted transit peptides to decrease steady state levels of passenger proteins in plant organelles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 1999
    Date of Patent: July 27, 2004
    Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLC
    Inventors: Kitisri Sukhapinda, James M. Hasler, James K. Petell, James A. Strickland, Otto Folkerts
  • Transgenic plants expressing photorhabdus toxin
    Patent number: 6717035
    Abstract: Novel polynucleotide sequences that encode insect toxins TcdA and TcbA have base compositions that differ substantially from the native genes, making them more similar to plant genes. The new sequences are suitable for use for high expression in both monocots and dicots. Transgenic plants with a genome comprising the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO:4 are insect resistant.
