  • Soy gene cluster regions and methods of use
    Patent number: 9307707
    Abstract: Methods for conveying pathogen resistance into non-resistant soybean germplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include introgressing pathogen resistance into a non-resistant soybean using one or more nucleic acid markers for marker-assisted breeding among soybean lines to be used in a soybean breeding program, wherein the markers are linked to and/or associated with pathogen resistance. Also provided are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with resistance to pathogens; soybean plants, seeds, and tissue cultures produced by any of the disclosed methods; seed produced by the disclosed soybean plants; and compositions including amplification primer pairs capable of initiating DNA polymerization by a DNA polymerase on soybean nucleic acid templates to generate soybean marker amplicons.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 12, 2016
    Assignee: Syngenta Participations AG
    Inventors: Ju-Kyung Yu, Becky Breitinger, David Plunkett, Ainong Shi, Dan Dyer

  • High nutrient concentration feed
    Publication number: 20070243236
    Abstract: An animal diet and method of feeding an animal an amount of different pelleted feed compositions having different amounts of available energy per kilogram of the composition and a different specific ratio of kilocalories total available energy per gram amino acids throughout the animal lifecycles along with the different pelleted feed compositions and the methods of making those compositions that yield improved efficiencies in overall animal production methods.
