  • Publication number: 20230367272
    Abstract: Provided are methods and related devices for predicting the presence or level of one or more characteristics of a plant or plant population based on spectral, multi-spectral, or hyper-spectral data obtained by, e.g., remote sensing. The predictions and estimates furnished by the inventive methods and devices are useful in crop management, crop strategy, and optimization of agricultural production.

  • Publication number: 20210059276
    Abstract: A method of identifying a selected pollination window in a Poaceae crop by monitoring one or more environmental parameters and identifying a selected pollination window based upon the monitored parameters. The correct selection of parameters has been shown to markedly increase seed set, yield, and/or other desirable characteristics, including but not limited to preferred content of oil, starch, protein, and/or other nutritional components. Parameters may include one or more of: temperature, relative humidity, and vapor pressure deficit.

  • Publication number: 20190008144
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of preserving pollen such that the pollen has improved viability as compared to pollen that is left in ambient conditions. A method of the present invention includes separating dead pollen contents from live pollen grains. In some embodiments, pollen grains are stored with a substance that prevents dead pollen contents from interacting with live pollen grains. The substance may be a solid, liquid, gas, or combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20120102590
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nucleotide sequence coding for an amino acid sequence of a unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which is expressed in a plant cell from a flowering plant. The expression of the sequence is used for altering the flowering time of a plant that comprises the transfected plant cells. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing the cells and/or the plants of the invention.
