Publication number: 20210059276Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2020Publication date: March 4, 2021Applicant: Accelerated Ag Technologies, LLCInventors: Federico Valverde, Elizabeth Ann Trecker, Michael J. Lauer, Mark Gee, George Singletary, Todd Krone, Jason Cope, Chase Kramer, Anthony Stefani

Publication number: 20150082479Abstract: The present invention provides methods for chemical selection of female gametes that do not contain a transgene of interest in plants. The methods result is increased efficiency of a breeding program to provide increased trait purity by ensuring that inbreds and plants are homozygous for a transgene of interest. Herbicides such as glyphosate can be used as the chemical gametocide to selectively eliminate female gametes that do not contain the gene conferring glyphosate resistance, resulting in seed or progeny substantially homozygous for such herbicide resistance on a large scale in a single generation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2014Publication date: March 19, 2015Inventors: Michael J. Lauer, ROGER LEAFGREN, SCOTT NELSON

Patent number: 8417602Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: December 9, 2008Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.Inventors: Donald P. Avey, Phillip Lee Bax, Richard Glenn Brooke, David S. Ertl, Joseph K. Gogerty, David J. Harwood, Michael J. Lauer, Terry Eu Claire Meyer, Todd A. Peterson
