Patents by Inventor Patricia Lynne Fallis

Patricia Lynne Fallis 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).

  • Plant glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase nucleic acids
    Publication number: 20030177534
    Abstract: Isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided that encode maize glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) and variant GFAT proteins. These nucleic acid molecules can be used to produce transgenic plants that synthesize cationic starch. Also provided are vectors capable of expressing such nucleic acid molecules, host cells containing such vectors, and polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acids.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 17, 2002
    Publication date: September 18, 2003
    Applicant: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.
    Inventors: Scott E. Nichols, Tie Wang, Patricia Lynne Fallis, Kanwarpal S. Dhugga
  • Proteins having insecticidal activities and method of use
    Patent number: 6339144
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests, particularly insect pests, are provided. The compositions comprise proteins isolated from plants of the genus Pentaclethra. Nucleotide sequences encoding the proteins are also provided. Such sequences find use in transforming organisms for control of pests.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 1999
    Date of Patent: January 15, 2002
    Assignees: Board of Regents for University of Oklahoma, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.
