Patents by Inventor Matthew A. Bailey

Matthew A. Bailey 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: 7569746
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a modified Agrobacterium to deliver proteins directly to plant cells. Proteins of interest are delivered to the plant host in the form of a fusion protein with the Agrobacterium virulence protein VirF. Nucleotide sequences encoding such fusion proteins of VirF and a protein of interest are provided. Also provided are bacteria modified to comprise such fusion proteins of VirF and a protein of interest. Methods of introducing such fusion proteins into a plant host are provided. The invention finds use in facilitating plant transformation and particularly in the bio-engineering of desirable traits into crop plants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2009
    Assignees: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Matthew A. Bailey, Stanton B. Gelvin, Saikat Bhattacharjee, William J. Gordon-Kamm, Keith S. Lowe, Yumin Tao
  • Patent number: 7309813
    Abstract: The invention provides novel methods of using viral replicase polypeptides and polynucleotides. Included are methods for increasing transformation frequencies, increasing crop yield, providing a positive growth advantage, modulating cell division, transiently modulating cell division, and for providing a means of positive selection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 18, 2007
    Assignee: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6933376
    Abstract: The invention provides isolated polynucleotides and their encoded proteins that are involved in cell cycle regulation. The invention further provides vectors, recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants, and antibody compositions. The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to altering cell cycle protein content and/or composition of plants.
