  • Patent number: 10238056
    Abstract: An identified 90 bp sequence insertion in the GB0331 genome disrupts the coding sequence of the FAD2-1D gene near the 3? end of the protein coding region. This sequence is not found in reference genomes of other Gossypium species. This DNA segment can be used to track the high oleic fad-2-1D mutant allele for introgression into cotton varieties such as Pima and upland cotton varieties. This enables a non-GMO strategy to elevate the oleic acid content of commercial cottonseed oil.

  • Patent number: 10238090
    Abstract: A garment for a four legged animal can include a fabric body positionable around the rear of the animal to safeguard against excretion of bodily matter. The fabric body can include a lower portion positionable in front of the animal's rear legs and an upper portion positionable behind the animal's rear legs. Opposing edges of the fabric body between the front and upper portions can have an arcuate configuration that minimizes contact between the opposing edges and the animal's rear legs. A front attachment component coupled with the lower portion of the fabric body allows the lower portion to be positioned in front of the animal's rear legs and coupled about the animal's body. A rear attachment component coupled with the upper portion of the fabric body allows the upper portion to be positioned behind the animal's rear legs and coupled about the animal's body.
