  • Methods for producing pesticidal cotton plants expressing lectins
    Patent number: 7157617
    Abstract: Methods of producing pesticidal cotton cells, cotton plants and seeds by transformation with heterologous pesticidal lectin encoding nucleic acid sequences are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2007
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Richard L. Yenofsky, Miriam Fine, Thirumale S. Rangan, David M. Anderson
  • Cotton cells, plants, and seeds genetically engineered to express insecticidal and fungicidal chitin binding proteins (lectins)
    Patent number: 6710228
    Abstract: Chimeric genes encoding lectins exhibiting pesticidal activity (for example, insecticidal and/or fungicidal activity) are disclosed which can be used to transform cotton to yield cotton cells, plants, and seeds in which the chimeric genes are expressed. Such transformed cotton cells are pesticidal when ingested by cotton pests.
