Peter W. Doerner 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).

  • Method of increasing growth and yield in plants
    Patent number: 6696623
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a genetically modified plant characterized as having increased growth and yield as compared to a corresponding wild-type plant comprising increasing the level of cyclin expression in the plant. Genetically modified plants characterized as having increased growth and yield are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 5, 2000
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2004
    Assignee: The Salk Institute for Biological Studies
    Inventors: Peter W. Doerner, Christopher J. Lamb

  • Method of increasing growth and yield in plants
    Publication number: 20010002490
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing a genetically modified plant characterized as having increased growth and yield as compared to a corresponding wild-type plant comprising increasing the level of cyclin expression in the plant. The methods include providing a modified nucleic acid regulatory sequence from cycB1a;At resulting in increased gene transcription and expression. Also provided are modified nucleic acid regulatory sequences. Genetically modified plants characterized as having increased growth and yield are also provided.
    Type: Application
