Tomokazu Koshiba 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).

  • Stress-responsive root-specific genes
    Patent number: 7605303
    Abstract: The present inventors succeeded in cloning a rice stress-responsive gene, RSI1. They discovered that stress-responsive plants can be generated by using the isolated gene, or genes functionally equivalent thereto. The present invention is useful in fields such as plant breeding.

  • TRANSGENIC PLANT TRANSFORMED WITH STRESS-RESPONSIVE GENE
    Publication number: 20090100552
    Abstract: A plant having improved heat tolerance and/or increased growth is produced by steps of: introducing DNA into a plant cell to produce a transformed plant cell, wherein the DNA is selected from the group consisting of: (a) DNA coding for a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2, (b) DNA including the coding region of the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, (c) DNA coding for a protein having an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 in which one or a few amino acids are substituted, deleted, inserted, and/or added, and being involved in growth promoting effect and heat tolerance, (d) DNA hybridizing with DNA consisting of the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 under stringent conditions and coding for a protein which is involved in growth promoting effect and heat tolerance, and (e) DNA coding for a protein having an amino acid sequence having 90% or more identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 and being involved in
