Plant Biotechnology & Genetics

This category covers patent families relating to plant gene regulation, abiotic stress tolerance, biomass enhancement, and genetic methods for improving plant performance. There are two main invention families in this category: one directed to increasing abiotic stress tolerance, biomass, and yield in plants, and another directed to nucleotide sequences regulating gene expression in plants.

​​*Because patent protection is pursued separately in different territories, related inventions may appear across multiple jurisdictions. Each filing reflects a distinct examination process and legal pathway.

 

Methods of Increasing Abiotic Stress Tolerance, Biomass, and Yield in Plants

​

This invention family concerns polynucleotide sequences and methods for increasing plant tolerance to abiotic stress and for increasing biomass or yield. Google Patents shows country-status records for this family in the United States, Israel, WO, EP, CN, AU, BR, CA, ES, MX, and ZA.
