Patents by Inventor Robin N. Beech

Robin N. Beech 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).

  • Patent number: 7358053
    Abstract: This invention describes novel purified and isolated nucleic acid molecules or the fragments thereof, extracted from nematode or arthropod pests or recombinant, which encode P-glycoprotein homologs and regulate resistance to the macrocyclic lactone compounds. The invention further relates to the new P-glycoprotein homolog expression product of these nucleic acids. Also described herein are methods for detecting the gene encoding for resistance to the macrocyclic lactone compounds in nematode or arthropod pests which comprise comparing the nucleic acids extracted from a pest specimen to the nucleic acids encoding for resistance and the nucleic acids encoding for susceptibility to the macrocyclic lactone compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 15, 2008
    Assignee: McGill Univeristy
    Inventors: Roger K. Prichard, Ming Xu, Ana Paula Ribeiro, William J. Blackhall, Robin N. Beech, Marcelo Molento, Hao Yuan Liu
