Patents by Inventor Leandro Vieira Astarita

Leandro Vieira Astarita 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).

  • Bacterial extract elicitor
    Patent number: 9462812
    Abstract: The invention induces an increase in the resistance of potato plants, without apparent toxicity for the plant. Preliminary experiments indicate that the increase in metabolism of plants efficiently fosters (above 60%) the reduction of the development of the pathogenic phytobacteria, Erwinia carotovora, one of the principal agents in causing diseases in potatoes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 16, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2016
    Assignee: União Brasileira de Educação e Assistência Mantenedora da PUCRS
    Inventors: Leandro Vieira Astarita, Fernando Rostirolla Dalmas, Vera Aparecida Dus Poiatti
