Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides capable of modifying the C8-atom of deoxynivalenol and methods (e.g., for detoxifying mycotoxins) based thereon. The present invention further relates to compositions, kits, transgenic plants, transgenic seeds, transgenic pollen grains, foodstuff, intermediate foodstuff; fodder, intermediate fodder; feed, intermediate feed; additive (e.g., foodstuff-, fodder- or feed additive), intermediate additive (e.g., foodstuff-, fodder- or feed intermediate additive); detoxifying agent, intermediate detoxifying agent; nutritional supplement, intermediate nutritional supplement, prebiotic, intermediate prebiotic and/or mixture/s thereof comprising one or more of the polypeptides capable of modifying the C8-atom of deoxynivalenol.

Abstract: A method for automatically preparing seeds with an additive to be deployed together with the seeds. The method includes conveying a plurality of seeds into an opening position, creating an opening in each of the seeds by cutting each seed with a fixed blade or a laser device when each seed is in the opening position, introducing an amount of additive into the seed through the opening and continuously conveying the plurality of seeds while creating the opening and introducing the amount of additive into the seeds.
