Publication number: 20120058244Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modulating the level of phytate in plants. More specifically, the invention relates to methods of modulating the level of phytate utilizing nucleic acids comprising multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) nucleotide sequences to modulate the expression of MRP(s) in a plant of interest. The compositions and methods of the invention find use in agriculture for improving the nutritional quality of food and feed by reducing the levels of phytate and/or increasing the levels of non-phytate phosphorus in food and feed. The invention also finds use in reducing the environmental impact of animal waste.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicants: E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY, PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: JINRUI SHI, DAVID ERTL, HONGYU WANG, BAILIN LI, MARIANNA FALLER, KATHLEEN SCHELLIN

Publication number: 20060293913Abstract: An agricultural input supplier can provide seed products by tying the compensation received for the seed products to an evaluation of the land base on which the seed products are to be planted and/or the performance of the seed products on the land base. The evaluation of the land base may be based on environmental classification and/or genotype-by-environment data. In addition to tying the compensation to the land quality and the seed performance, this approach to providing seed allows for recommendations to be made to the producer regarding which seed products should be used on the land base. The performance of the seed product on the land base may also be verified.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicants: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC., E. I. du PONT de NEMOURS and COMPANYInventors: Robert Iwig, Joseph Foresman, Sue Hoover, Donald Avey, Phillip Bax, Richard Brooke, David Ertl, Joseph Gogerty, David Harwood, Michael Lauer, Terry Meyer, Todd Peterson, Andrew Goodman, J.

Publication number: 20060282296Abstract: Managing risks of crop production can be performed by understanding the relative performance of different agricultural inputs under the same or similar environmental conditions. In addition, managing of crop production risks can be performed by understanding variations in the performance of the same agricultural inputs over a range of environmental conditions. By being able to describe and understand these variations in performance, decisions can be made which are consistent with overall business and/or production objectives and limit risk associated with variations in environmental conditions. In addition to producers there are other stakeholders in the crop production process, such as financial institutions, insurance providers, users of crops produced, and input suppliers. These and other stakeholders can provide financial incentives to producers for managing crop production risks through use of environmental classification and/or genotype-by-environment information.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Applicant: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Donald Avey, Phillip Bax, Richard Brooke, David Ertl, Joseph Gogerty, David Harwood, Michael Lauer, Terry Meyer, Todd Peterson

Publication number: 20060282228Abstract: Methods and software for selecting seed products or other agricultural inputs for planting within an associated land base include dividing the field into regions, providing an environmental profile for each of regions, determining a recommendation of a seed product to plant within each of the regions based on the environmental profile and performance of the genotype of each of the seed products in the environmental profile of the regions, and providing an output identifying the seed product to plant within each of the regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Applicant: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: DONALD AVEY, PHILLIP BAX, RICHARD BROOKE, DAVID ERTL, JOSEPH GOGERTY, DAVID HARWOOD, MICHAEL LAUER, TERRY MEYER, TODD PETERSON
