  • Method for the traceability of plants
    Patent number: 8314701
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the traceability of plants after field planting and during the whole productive and commercial cycle, by means of the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Tags technology, comprising: 1) marking of the plants by the grafting of radio-frequency microchips containing information relating to the plant it-self, directly in the trunk or other parts of the plant or by means of external systems; 2) handling and display of the traceability data by means of a suitable software system.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of preparation of transgenic plants resistant to viral infections and so obtained plants
    Patent number: 5959181
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparation of transgenic plants resistant to viral infections by introducing into the genoma of a host plant an antisense gene construct constituted by: the domain F of the subgenomic promoter of a viral RNA; a leader sequence of a viral ORF, downstream from said subgenomic promoter; the gene encoding a viral coat protein, downstream from said leader sequence; and the 3'-terminal region of a viral RNA, downstream from said gene. The present invention also relates to a recombinant vector comprising a promoter functional in a host plant, and, operably linked to this promoter, the antisense gene construct of the present invention.
