Sairam V. Rudrabhatla 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).

  • Method for producing direct in vitro flowering and viable seed from cotyledon, radicle, and leaf explants, and plants produced therefrom
    Patent number: 7547548
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reprogramming plant development that allows flower buds and seeds to arise de novo, directly from a cotyledon or radicle explants or from shoots produced on a cotyledon or radicle. The present invention also provides for an improved culturing media that provide for in vitro flowering.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 16, 2009
    Assignee: University of Toledo
    Inventors: Sairam V. Rudrabhatla, Stephen L. Goldman

  • Method for transformation of mono-and di-cotyledonous plants using meristematic tissue and nodal callus from dicotyledonous plants
    Publication number: 20040237133
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the introduction of genes encoding desirable traits into both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants and to plants and parts thereof produced by growing plants using this method. The time required for the production of transgenic plants is significantly decreased, while the number of transgenic plants is significantly increased. These increases are not dependent upon the use of super-virulent Agrobacterium strains. The invention also relates to an improved technique for in vitro regeneration of mono- and di-cotyledonous plants in a suitable medium containing a novel growth regulator regime that promotes cell elongation in the production of numerous somatic embryos that are regenerable into fertile plants.
