Patent number: 8247648Abstract: DSF-based microbial pathogens may be controlled by certain methods and compositions. A method of controlling diseases caused in a host organism by pathogenic microbial expression of ?,? unsaturated fatty acid signal (DSF) molecules involves inoculating the host organism with a non-pathogenic microbe that disrupts ?,? unsaturated fatty acid signal molecule-mediated cell-cell communication by the pathogenic microbe in the host organism. Microbes having protein expression that interferes with ?,? unsaturated fatty acid signal molecule-mediated cell-cell communication by the pathogenic microbe in the host organism can be identified and isolated or engineered by transformation with DSF-interference (inhibition or activation) gene or genes. Genes conferring DSF-interference activity can also be expressed in organisms (e.g., plants) susceptible to diseases caused by microbes that use DSF, resulting in genetically resistant organisms.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Karyn L.

Patent number: 8148605Abstract: A eukaryotic input circuit: computationally designed receptors, synthetic eukaryotic signal transduction pathways, and a synthetic signal sensitive promoter that allow highly specific transcriptional induction in response to an externally provided ligand is disclosed. The input circuit is able to specifically bind a targeted substance and transmit a signal to the nucleus where transcription of a gene is activated. An output circuit serves as a simple readout system of the substance detected by the input circuit. The readout circuit exemplified here is a degreening circuit which causes plants to turn white. Activation of the degreening circuit can be detected by eye, or remotely with a variety of machines (hand-held, aircraft or satellite based) and is also resettable. When linked the input circuit if operably linked to the output circuit, produces a functional plant detector.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignees: Colorado State University Research Foundation, Duke UniversityInventors: June Medford, Mauricio S. Antunes, Kevin J. Morey, Homme W. Hellinga, James Jefferson Smith

Patent number: 8148607Abstract: A method is described for the exact removal of a selected subfragment from a DNA molecule by intrachromosomal recombination between two directly repeated DNA sequences using a rare-cleaving double stranded break inducing DNA endonuclease expressed under control of a micro-spore specific promoter. This method can be applied in a method for the exact exchange of a target DNA fragment for a DNA fragment of interest in plant cells and plants.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Bayer CropScience N.V.Inventors: Kathleen D'Halluin, Rene Ruiter

Patent number: 8148604Abstract: Methods and materials for conferring pest resistance to plants are provided. Plants are transformed with a silencing construct homologous to a gene of a plant pest that is essential for the survival, development, or pathogenicity of the pest. This results in the plant producing RNAi to the selected gene, which, when ingested by the pest results in silencing of the gene and a subsequent reduction of the pest's ability to harm the plant. In other embodiments, the pest's reduced ability to harm the plant is passed on to pest progeny. Methods and materials for depathogenesis of pests is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2005Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Venganza Inc.Inventor: Charles L. Niblett

Patent number: 8148608Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for generating clonal root lines, clonal root cell lines, clonal plant cell lines, and clonal plants and for expressing gene products in such cell lines and plants. In some embodiments, a viral vector containing a polynucleotide of interest operably linked to a promoter is introduced into a plant or portion thereof to generate clonal root lines, clonal root cell lines, clonal plant cell lines, and clonal plants. According to certain inventive methods, a viral vector containing a polynucleotide of interest operably linked to a promoter is introduced into cells of a plant cell line that is maintained in culture to generate clonal plant cell lines and clonal plants. The invention provides clonal root lines, clonal root cell lines, clonal plant cell lines, and clonal plants generated using inventive methods.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2005Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Fraunhofer USA, IncInventors: Vidadi Yusibov, Marina Skarjinskaia
