  • Method for the traceability of plants
    Patent number: 8314701
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the traceability of plants after field planting and during the whole productive and commercial cycle, by means of the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Tags technology, comprising: 1) marking of the plants by the grafting of radio-frequency microchips containing information relating to the plant it-self, directly in the trunk or other parts of the plant or by means of external systems; 2) handling and display of the traceability data by means of a suitable software system.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for the isolation of expressed sequence tags in plants
    Publication number: 20070009891
    Abstract: A method is described for the isolation of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) which are based on the use of suitable quantities of 5-azaCytidine in the germination phase of plants to induce the demethylation phenomenon of the DNA. In this way, it is possible to obtain “totipotent” seedlings, i.e. capable of expressing as many genes as possible regardless of the development phase of the plant and isolating said genes by the synthesis of a single cDNA library.
