  • Methods for producing pesticidal cotton plants expressing lectins
    Patent number: 7157617
    Abstract: Methods of producing pesticidal cotton cells, cotton plants and seeds by transformation with heterologous pesticidal lectin encoding nucleic acid sequences are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2007
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Richard L. Yenofsky, Miriam Fine, Thirumale S. Rangan, David M. Anderson
  • Transformed cotton plants
    Patent number: 6753463
    Abstract: A transformed cotton plant. The transformed cotton plant comprises DNA derived from a source other than cotton plants, wherein the DNA, when transformed into the cotton plants, confers a phenotype not expressed inn a parent cotton.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 1994
    Date of Patent: June 22, 2004
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Thirumale S. Rangan, David M. Anderson, Kanniah Rajasekaran, John W. Grula, Richard Lorne Hudspeth, Richard L. Yenofsky
  • Cotton cells, plants, and seeds genetically engineered to express insecticidal and fungicidal chitin binding proteins (lectins)
    Patent number: 6710228
    Abstract: Chimeric genes encoding lectins exhibiting pesticidal activity (for example, insecticidal and/or fungicidal activity) are disclosed which can be used to transform cotton to yield cotton cells, plants, and seeds in which the chimeric genes are expressed. Such transformed cotton cells are pesticidal when ingested by cotton pests.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 1999
    Date of Patent: March 23, 2004
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Richard L. Yenofsky, Miriam Fine, Thirumale S. Rangan, David M. Anderson

  • Transformation of cotton plants
    Patent number: 6624344
    Abstract: A method for producing transformed cotton plants. The method comprising providing cotton explants, incubating the cotton explant in the presence of a vector comprising a selectable marker to produce treated explants, growing the treated explants to produce callus and selecting transformed callus.

  • Transformation of cotton plants
    Patent number: 6573437
    Abstract: A vector for transforming cotton. The vector comprising integration sequences for integrating into the genome of cotton plants, a promoter for promoting transcription in cotton plants, a DNA sequence encoding a selectable marker and a termination signal for terminating transcription in cotton plants.

  • Insecticidal cotton plant cells
    Publication number: 20010026939
    Abstract: Cotton cells are transformed with a chimeric gene that expresses in the cells a polypeptide having substantially the insect toxicity properties of Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein. The transformed cells are regenerated into plants that are toxic to the larvae of lepidopteran insects.
