Patents by Inventor Revel Iyer

Revel Iyer 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).

  • Drought resistance multigene construct
    Patent number: 11795470
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polygenic DNA construct consisting of three abiotic stress tolerance genes, separated by nucleic acids encoding FMDV 2A peptides under the control of a stress inducible promoter. The stable insertion of the construct into plants confers drought tolerance to the plants. The invention also provides for vectors, host cells, transgenic plants and transgenic seeds containing the construct.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2022
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2023
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN
    Inventors: Bronwyn Lynn Arendze-Bailey, Jennifer Ann Thomson, Kershini Iyer, Mohamed Suhail Rafudeen, Revel Iyer, Tamaryn Lorean Ellick

  • METHOD OF INCREASING ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANCE IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20100275327
    Abstract: A method of increasing abiotic stress tolerance in a plant is described, the method comprising transforming the plant with a vector comprising a nucleic acid which is at least 80% identical to SEQ I.D. NO: 10. Plants or plant parts transformed with these sequences are also described.
