Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080227193Nematode Fatty Acid Desaturase-Like Sequences - Nucleic acid molecules from nematodes encoding fatty acid desaturase polypeptides are described. Fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptide sequences are also provided, as are vectors, host cells, and recombinant methods for production of fatty acid desaturase-like nucleotides and polypeptides. Also described are screening methods for identifying inhibitors and/or activators of fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptides, as well as methods for antibody production.09-18-2008
20080227955Nematode PAN and ZP Receptor-Like Sequences - Nucleic acid molecules from nematodes encoding PAN and ZP domain containing receptor polypeptides are described. PANZP polypeptide sequences are also provided, as are vectors, host cells, and recombinant methods for production of PANZP nucleotides and polypeptides. Also described are screening methods for identifying inhibitors and/or activators, as well as methods for antibody production.09-18-2008
20090048311Compostions and Methods for Controlling Nematodes - Compositions and processes for controlling nematodes are described herein, e.g., nematodes that infest plants or animals. The compounds include oxazoles, oxadiazoles and thiadiazoles.02-19-2009
20090203127Nematode Fatty Acid Desaturase-Like Sequences - Nucleic acid molecules from nematodes encoding fatty acid desaturase polypeptides are described. Fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptide sequences are also provided, as arc vectors, host cells, and recombinant methods for production of fatty acid desaturase-like nucleotides and polypeptides. Also described are screening methods for identifying inhibitors and/or activators of fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptides, as well as methods for antibody production.08-13-2009
20100138960Nucleic Acids Encoding Anthelmintic Agents And Plants Made Therefrom - The present invention provides DNA constructs, transgenic plants containing such constructs, and methods of making the plants. The DNA constructs encode a polypeptide that when expressed results in the production of fatty acid compounds having anthelmintic activity. Transgenic plants expressing such a polypeptide can exhibit enhanced resistance to plant parasitic nematodes, particularly when expressed in vegetative tissues. Transgenic plants expressing such a polypeptide can also be useful for non-pesticidal industrial uses.06-03-2010
20100248357Nematode Fatty Acid Desaturase-Like Sequences - Nucleic acid molecules from nematodes encoding fatty acid desaturase polypeptides are described. Fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptide sequences are also provided, as are vectors, host cells, and recombinant methods for production of fatty acid desaturase-like nucleotides and polypeptides. Also described are screening methods for identifying inhibitors and/or activators of fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptides, as well as methods for antibody production.09-30-2010
20110107446METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR PLANT PEST CONTROL - The present invention is directed to controlling nematode infestation. The invention discloses methods and compositions for use in controlling nematode infestation by providing recombinant DNA molecules to the cells of a plant in order to achieve a reduction in nematode infestation. The invention is also directed to methods for making transgenic plants that express the recombinant DNA molecule for use in protecting plants from nematode infestation.05-05-2011
