  • A TOMATO PLANT COMPRISING DOMINANT RESISTANCE GENES TO TOMATO BROWN RUGOSE FRUIT VIRUS
    Publication number: 20250120359
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of agriculture, more particularly to tomato plants harboring dominant resistance to the recently characterized Tobamovirus—Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus. Tobamoviruses are a genus of plant viruses which pose a significant threat to vegetable and ornamental crops around the world. The impact of these viruses on crops can be economically devastating and result in considerable yield losses. The present invention discloses a tomato plant harboring a partially dominant resistance gene/genes to tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV).

  • Correction method, apparatus, data carrier or system for correcting for unintended spatial variation in lightness across a physical image produced by a xerographic process
    Patent number: 8208824
    Abstract: A correction method for correcting unintended spatial variation in lightness across a physical image produced by a xerographic process, the method comprising producing a test image using the xerographic process, measuring a difference between actual lightness and intended lightness across at least part of the test image, and varying the light source level used subsequently in the xerographic process to correct for the measured unintended difference.
