Publication number: 20220287257Abstract: Uses and pea plant cells of pea plants and parts thereof, which contain higher protein than current varieties, are provided. Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of many pea varieties was performed to derive markers for high protein and other phenotypic traits, and a breeding simulation was used to identify the most common and most stable markers. Following verification of trait stability over several generations, markers and marker cassettes were defined as being uniquely present in the developed pea lines. The resulting high protein pea lines can be used to enhance the nutritional values of pea in its various uses. Uses include processing the seeds to yield any of pea protein isolate, pea concentrate, a texturized product, a meat analog and/or commodity whole or split grains.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2021Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: EQUI-nom Ltd.Inventors: Gil SHALEV, Noa PALEVSKY, Menachem SKLARZ, Avichai AMRAD, Sigal MEIROVITCH

Publication number: 20220078986Abstract: Methods and hybrid seed are provided which involve growing two varieties of a field crop which is at least partially cross-pollinated in the field, wherein the two varieties are fertile with respect to both male and female functions, are selected to yield specified hybrid(s), and are distinguishable with respect to seed characteristic(s). Collected seeds from the grown field crop are separated into fractions with respect to the seed characteristic, wherein at least one fraction is of hybrid seeds of the specified hybrid(s). For example, the parent varieties may be selected to yield heterotic hybrid(s) which are distinct and separable from the parent non-hybrid seeds with respect to the at least one seed characteristic, e.g., have larger or smaller seeds. Possibly, different traits may be used to separate the hybrid seeds from the two parent variety seeds, such as size, weight or optical parameters that enable sorting out the hybrids from the overall crop.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2019Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: EQUI-nom Ltd.Inventors: Gil SHALEV, Oron GAR, Itay ZEMACH, Ziv ROTENBERG, Michael INLENDER
