Patents by Inventor Stephane Peyrard

Stephane Peyrard 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).

  • Fungal rust-inducible promoter
    Patent number: 11845944
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a promoter induced by fungal rust. More specifically, the promoter is induced by the pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi, i.e. the Asian Soybean Rust. The disclosure further provides for recombinant genes comprising the promoter and methods of producing a transgenic plant that involves introducing or providing the recombinant gene to plant cells to create transgenic plant cells, and regenerating transgenic plants from the transgenic cells.

  • Methods and compositions for the control of rust fungi by inhibiting expression of the HXT1 gene
    Patent number: 10920240
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the control of plant fungal pathogens, particularly rusts, by inhibiting one or more biological functions of such plant fungal pathogens, particularly by inhibiting a fungal HXT1 gene using RNA interference (RNAi).

  • Method for modifying gene expression of a phytopathogenic fungus
    Patent number: 7741531
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for controlling the development of fungi during a phytopathogenic attack which enables the plant to express a construct for inhibiting the expression of a gene essential to the development or to the pathogenicity of the fungus. The technology used is based on the mechanism of RNA interference. The present invention provides methods for producing plants resistant to a phytopathogenic fungus, plant cells and plants resistant to a phytopathogenic fungus, and methods of identifying a gene essential to the development or to the pathogenicity of a phytopathogenic fungus.
