Sonali Dilip GANDHI 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).

  • Maize plants with improved disease resistance
    Patent number: 11647709
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes a method for breeding corn plants containing one or more markers that are associated with resistance to fungi. The invention further includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing at least one marker associated with resistance to southern rust (SR) infection for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel SR resistant germplasm.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2023
    Assignee: MONSANTO TECHNOLOGY, LLC

  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR PRODUCING CORN PLANTS WITH RESISTANCE TO LATE WILT
    Publication number: 20230068022
    Abstract: The present disclosure is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. The disclosure provides methods for breeding corn plants having late wilt (LW) resistance using marker-assisted selection. The disclosure further provides corn germplasm resistant to LW. The disclosure also provides markers associated with LW resistance loci for introgressing these loci into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel LW resistant germplasm.

  • MAIZE PLANTS WITH IMPROVED DISEASE RESISTANCE
    Publication number: 20220304266
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes a method for breeding corn plants containing one or more markers that are associated with resistance to fungi. The invention further includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing at least one marker associated with resistance to Fusarium stalk rot (FSR) infection for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel FSR resistant germplasm.
