Patents by Inventor Paul Curtis Anderson

Paul Curtis Anderson 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).

  • Herbicide resistance in plants
    Patent number: 6222100
    Abstract: This invention is directed to the production of plants, plant tissues and seeds which are resistant to inhibition by an herbicide which normally inhibits the growth and development of those plants, plant tissues and plant seeds. In particular this invention is directed to altered acetohydroxyacid synthase enzymes which are resistant to inhibition by herbicides which normally inhibit the activity of the synthase before such alteration. This invention further relates to genes encoding such enzymes, and to processes for utilizing these novel genes and enzymes. Further products of the invention include plants, plant tissues and seeds which exhibit resistance to such herbicides resulting from expression of genes encoding herbicide resistant acetohydroxyacid synthase enzyme.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1995
    Date of Patent: April 24, 2001
    Assignee: MGI Pharma, Inc.
    Inventors: Paul Curtis Anderson, Kenneth A. Hibberd
