METHODS OF IDENTIFYING, SELECTING, AND PRODUCING SOUTHERN CORN RUST RESISTANT CROPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18505885 titled 'METHODS OF IDENTIFYING, SELECTING, AND PRODUCING SOUTHERN CORN RUST RESISTANT CROPS
Simplified Explanation
The field is related to plant breeding and methods of identifying and selecting plants with resistance to southern corn rust. Provided are methods to identify novel genes that encode proteins providing plant resistance to southern corn rust and uses thereof. These disease resistant genes are useful in the production of resistant plants through breeding, transgenic modification, or genome editing.
- Identification of novel genes encoding proteins for plant resistance to southern corn rust
- Methods for selecting plants with resistance to southern corn rust
- Utilization of disease resistant genes in breeding, transgenic modification, or genome editing for producing resistant plants
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in agriculture for developing corn plants that are resistant to southern corn rust, leading to increased crop yield and reduced reliance on chemical pesticides.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of crop loss due to southern corn rust infection, providing a sustainable solution for farmers to protect their corn crops.
Benefits
- Increased crop yield - Reduced need for chemical pesticides - Sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for crop protection
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be commercialized in the agricultural industry for producing genetically modified corn seeds with enhanced resistance to southern corn rust.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include patents or research articles related to plant breeding for disease resistance, genetic modification of crops, or methods for identifying novel genes conferring plant resistance to pathogens.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing methods for developing disease-resistant crops?
This article does not provide a direct comparison to existing methods for developing disease-resistant crops. Further research or a comparative analysis would be needed to determine the advantages and limitations of this technology in comparison to other approaches.
What are the potential regulatory challenges associated with commercializing genetically modified crops with enhanced disease resistance?
This article does not address the potential regulatory challenges associated with commercializing genetically modified crops. Future studies or consultations with regulatory authorities would be necessary to understand the regulatory landscape and compliance requirements for bringing these products to market.
