Ron Fioritto 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).

  • Identification of soybeans having resistance to
    Patent number: 7435873
    Abstract: The invention provides soybean plants having a novel determinant, Rps8, for resistance to Phytophthora sojae. The invention also provides methods for identifying germplasms that are either heterozygous or homozygous for Rps8 using marker assisted selection. Genetic markers with known chromosomal location that are associated with the Rps8 gene are used to confirm Rps8-derived Phytophthora sojae resistance in germplasms. Marker assisted selection also used when introgressing Rps8-derived soybean Phytophthora sojae resistance into non-resistant soybean germplasm or less resistant soybean germplasms.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 14, 2008
    Assignee: The Ohio State University Research Foundation

  • Identification of soybeans having resistance to
    Patent number: 7381862
    Abstract: The invention provides soybean plants having a novel determinant, Rps8, for resistance to Phytophthora sojae. The invention also provides methods for identifying germplasms that are either heterozygous or homozygous for Rps8 using marker assisted selection. Genetic and enzymatic markers with known chromosomal loci that are associated with the Rps8 locus are used to confirm Rps8-derived Phytophthora sojae resistance in germplasms. Marker assisted selection also used when introgressing Rps8-derived soybean Phytophthora sojae resistance into non-resistant soybean germplasm or less resistant soybean germplasms.
