  • Publication number: 20190100726
    Abstract: A method to obtain vegetable fibers from vegetable specimen xylematic tissue meristematic cambial cells is provided. The method implies the identification and isolation of meristematic cambial cells from the xylematic tissue, their later cultivation and multiplication and the induction of fiber-like structures, in order to finally produce fibers. The process obtains vegetable fibers in laboratory conditions through isolated xylematic tissue cambial cells, offering an alternative to the production of fibers from plants.

  • Patent number: 9408395
    Abstract: The instant invention refers to a novel process for potentiating the production of substances with antifungal activity obtained from Ganoderma lucidum, using a technological device for the differential, qualitative and quantitative expression of proteins and other bioactive molecules, selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, triterpenoids, fatty acids and ganoderic acids. The compositions containing said substances showed antifungal activity and mycelium growth and fungi ascospore germination inhibiting activity, amongst them Mycosphaerella fijiensis, primary pathogenic agent causing black Sigatoka disease in banana and plantain crop fields.

  • Publication number: 20110177598
    Abstract: The method of the present invention comprises: Obtaining an explant from the seeds of Jatropha curcas; Putting the explant derived from the seed of Jatropha curcas in a culture medium; Breaking the intercellular unions of the explants tissue, which generates individuals cells; Incubating for a determined time the culture medium with the generated individual cells, that were multiplied; and, Extracting oil from the cells that multiplied from the individual cells generated from the explants derived from the Jatropha curcas seed.
