  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CULTIVATING PLANTS AND ARTIFICIAL PLANT SEEDS
    Publication number: 20180177147
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for cultivating plants and artificial plant seeds comprising choplets derived from plantlets grown by tissue culture techniques. Methods comprise production of choplets and artificial seeds comprising choplets which are initiated by the micropropagation of plant tissue source material from plants which may be native or transgenic.

  • SUGARCANE PROCESS
    Publication number: 20170042104
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for propagating a crop using meristem excision, micropropagation, plantlet formation, plantlet singulation, plantlet transfer to artificial seeds, and planting artificial seeds. Methods are provided for producing and handling the plantlets and materials used to form artificial seeds. The artificial seeds may be used to store plantlets or may be planted to form a crop.

  • Isolation and use of ryanodine receptors
    Patent number: 7655395
    Abstract: The genes encoding ryanodine receptor homologs have been characterized from multiple insect families including lepidopteran tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens), homopteran green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), corn plant hopper (Peregrinus maidis), cotton melon aphid (Aphis gossypil) and fruitfly (Drosophila melanogaster). The full-length genes have been isolated, cloned and amplified in bacterial cells. Expression in insect cells shows that the recombinant protein folds into a functional calcium release channel.
