Patents by Inventor Pierre Pin

Pierre Pin 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).

  • Transgenic sugar beet plants
    Patent number: 8796506
    Abstract: The invention relates to transgenic sugar beet plants having a phenotype of delayed bolting. The invention further relates to polynucleotides that are closely linked to the bolting gene or B gene within the sugar beet genome and can be used for the discrimination between the annual and biennial genotype or between different haplotypes within plant groupings of sugar beet plants exhibiting a biennial genotype.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2014
    Assignee: Syngenta Participations AG
    Inventors: Johannes Jacobus Ludgerus Gielen, Thomas Craft, Pierre Pin
  • Engineering of bolting resistance in sugar beet by means of the transgenic expression of the beet homologue of flowering time control gene FT
    Patent number: 8637737
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of bolting and flowering time control in sugar beet, specifically to methods as well as nucleic acid molecules, chimeric constructs, and vectors for engineering bolting resistance in sugar beet by means of altering the expression of the Beta vulgaris homologues BvFT1 and BvFT2 of the FT gene. In particular, the present invention provides sugar beet plants having a phenotype of bolting resistance.

  • POLYNUCLEOTIDE MARKERS
    Publication number: 20100209919
    Abstract: The invention relates to polynucleotides that are closely linked to the bolting gene or B gene within the sugar beet genome and can be used for the development of molecular markers. The invention further relates to molecular markers and kits comprising said markers that can be used for mapping, identification and isolation of the bolting gene or S gene in the sugar beet genome and to discriminate between the annual and bienniai genotype or between different haplotypes within plant groupings of sugar beet plants exhibiting a biennial genotype. The invention also relates to assays and methods of breeding sugar beet plants involving said markers.
