QTLS FOR MCLCV RESISTANCE IN C. MELO - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463467 titled 'QTLS FOR MCLCV RESISTANCE IN C. MELO

Simplified Explanation

The invention relates to a plant that is resistant to MCLCV, which plant comprises a QTL on chromosome 11, and/or a QTL on chromosome 2, and/or a QTL on chromosome 6. The QTL is as comprised in the genome of a plant representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 43711, NCIMB 43712, NCIMB 43713, or NCIMB 43951.

  • Plant resistant to MCLCV
  • QTL on chromosome 11, 2, and/or 6
  • Genome of plant deposited with NCIMB
  • Potential Applications:
 - Agriculture for disease-resistant crops
 - Research for genetic modification studies
  • Problems Solved:
 - Protection against MCLCV in plants
 - Enhancing crop yield and quality
  • Benefits:
 - Increased plant resilience
 - Potential for reduced pesticide use
  • Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology:
 - Seed companies for developing resistant crop varieties
 - Agricultural biotechnology firms for genetic research
  • Possible Prior Art:
 - Previous studies on QTLs for disease resistance in plants
      1. Unanswered Questions:
        1. How does the QTL on chromosome 11 contribute to MCLCV resistance in the plant?

The specific mechanism by which the QTL on chromosome 11 confers resistance to MCLCV is not detailed in the abstract. Further research may be needed to understand this aspect.

        1. Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to using this genetically modified plant in agriculture?

The abstract does not mention any potential drawbacks or limitations of using this genetically modified plant. It would be important to investigate any unintended consequences or environmental impacts before widespread adoption.
