Latest Patents
Yinping Jiao's latest patents include groundbreaking innovations such as the "Sorghum yield enhancement gene." This patent provides nucleic acids that confer a multi-seeded phenotype when expressed in plants, which can lead to increased agricultural productivity. Another notable patent is for a "Mutant sorghum bicolor having enhanced seed yield." This genetically altered sorghum plant expresses the multi-seeded #2 phenotype, resulting from specific genomic alterations in the Sb06g018040 gene. These alterations lead to reduced activity of a class II 13-lipoxygenase protein, ultimately increasing the number of seeds and seed weight, thereby enhancing the overall yield of the plant. The seeds of one particular MSD2 have been deposited with ATCC and assigned Accession Number PTA-121634.
