  • Citrus tristeza virus based vectors for foreign gene/s expression
    Patent number: 10851381
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are viral vectors based on modifications of the Citrus Tristeza virus useful for transfecting citrus trees for beneficial purposes. Included in the disclosure are viral vectors including one or more gene cassettes that encode heterologous polypeptide s. The gene cassettes are positioned at desirable locations on the viral genome so as to enable expression while preserving functionality of the virus. Also disclosed are methods of transfecting plants and plants transfected with viral vector embodiments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2020
    Assignee: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: William O. Dawson, Svetlana Y. Folimonova, Alexey S. Folimonov
  • Viral based transient-expression vector system that allows multiple applications
    Patent number: 10472641
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are viral vectors suitable for transfection into woody trees for purposes of delivering and expressing beneficial genes. Specifically exemplified herein are vectors for transfecting citrus trees. The vectors allow for the expression of useful proteins, such as those that can protect the tree from disease. Specifically exemplified herein are methods of transfecting woody trees that allow multiple applications of vectors while avoiding superinfection exclusion.
