Title: Pierluigi Barone: Plant Gene-Targeting Innovation
Introduction
Pierluigi Barone is an inventor associated with Des Moines, Iowa, and Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. His patent work concerns a plant-based approach to targeted genetic modification.
Latest Patents
Barone is credited with 1 patent, titled “Intra-genomic Homologous Recombination.” The patent describes compositions and methods for an inducible, high-efficiency intra-genomic homologous recombination (IGHR) system in plants. The system is intended to enable non-chimeric, heritable gene targeting. Because each cell contains donor DNA and nuclease-encoding sequences, the approach provides many opportunities for homology-directed targeting during plant development.
Career Highlights
Barone’s listed invention focuses on applying homologous recombination to plant gene targeting. Its proposed advantage is the potential to produce heritable genetic changes without chimerism.
Collaborations
Barone is associated with Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. His listed coworker is Maren L. Arling.
Conclusion
Pierluigi Barone’s patent describes an IGHR system designed to support efficient, heritable gene targeting in plants.
