US Patent:

20140026252, Jan 23, 2014
Filed:

Jan 9, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/979408
Inventors:

Harold Trick - Olsburg KS, US
Xiuming Liu - Manhattan KS, US
Assignee:

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE - WASHINGTON DC
KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION - Manhattan KS
International Classification:

C12N 15/82
US Classification:

800265, 800302, 800301, 800279
Abstract:

Plants having increased resistance to a pest relative to corresponding control plants are provided. The resistant plants have inhibited expression, activity, or function of a susceptibility gene, and thereby have decreased expression, activity, or function of the susceptibility gene in the presence of the pest as compared to a control plant in which the wild-type susceptibility gene is normally expressed in the presence of the pest. Methods of producing plants with increased resistance are also provided. The methods involve altering the expression, activity, or function of a susceptibility gene, such as Mds-1, in the plant. Isolated Mds-1 sequences are provided that can be manipulated to enhance pest resistance in modified plants. Modified plants, plant cells, tissues, seeds, and progeny are also provided having enhanced pest resistance.

US Patent:

56935129, Dec 2, 1997
Filed:

Mar 1, 1996
Appl. No.:

8/609794
Inventors:

John J. Finer - Wooster OH
Harold N. Trick - Wooster OH
Assignee:

The Ohio State Research Foundation - Columbus OH
International Classification:

C12N 1300
C12N 1563
US Classification:

4351735
Abstract:

The present invention provides an efficient, cost effective method for transforming, including stably transforming, plants including monocots, dicots and gymnosperms. The method of the present invention, which is less labor intensive than typical conventional transformation methods, comprises combining the plant and a vector which contains the foreign nucleic acid to be introduced into the plant sample. Preferably the plant sample is sonicated in the presence of the vector. The vector is preferably non-tumor inducing bacteria, more preferably Agrobacterium. The sonication duration is less than 15 minutes, preferably less than 6 minutes more preferably 60 seconds or less. After sonicating the plant sample is cultured under conditions that induce morphogenesis to produce plant tissue that will mature into a transformed plant.
