Patent number: 9034353Abstract: Disclosed herein are mesocapsules that include agriculturally active ingredients. These mesocapsules are comprised of a polyurea shell and include hydrophilic groups on their surfaces and have a volume-average diameter of about 500 nm or less and some of them have a volume-average diameter on the order of about 300 nm or less. These mesocapsules are suited for delivering active ingredients that are not very soluble in water. Methods for making these mesocapsules include interfacial polycondensation reactions carried out in the presence of surfactants and other methods in which all or most of the surfactant is replaced by adding amino acids to the aqueous phase of the interfacial reaction mixture before forming the final emulsion.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2010Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Robert J.

Publication number: 20140283225Abstract: The present disclosure relates in part to a method for identifying a soybean germline transformant from a population of soybean transformants which are comprised of a combination of soybean non-germline transformants and soybean germline transformants. The soybean non-germline transformants are identified and eliminated early in the transformation process. The soybean germline transformants are detected and selected for culturing into mature soybean plants. The method is readily applicable for screening and obtaining a soybean germline transformant at an early stage in the transformation process.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Dow Agrosciences LLCInventors: Jayakumar Pon Samuel, Sivarama Reddy Chennareddy, Andy Bowling, John Whitteck, Tatyana Minnicks, Dayakar Pareddy, Kerrm Y.
