Patents by Inventor Thao Dam

Thao Dam 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).

  • Patent number: 7838263
    Abstract: This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to at least one herbicide. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to at least one herbicide, and methods of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently select the best lines for breeding strategies by avoiding sensitive lines. Methods of identifying a plant with an Nsf1 locus using molecular markers are described.

  • Patent number: 7763778
    Abstract: An isolated polynucleotide encoding a delayed flowering gene (DLF1) is provided, as is the isolated DLF1 protein, peptide portions thereof, and functional fragments of the DLF1. Also provided is a transgenic plant, which contains in its genome a transgene containing the polynucleotide encoding the DLF1 protein, or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the encoding polynucleotide. In addition, methods of identifying a nucleotide sequence and/or a heterologous protein that is specifically bound by the DLF1 protein, methods of using the isolated polynucleotide (or encoded polypeptide), for example, to modulate plant cell growth and/or development, are provided.
