20250261649. METHODS OF USE OF SEED-ORIGIN ENDOPHYTE POPULATIONS
Applicant: Indigo Ag Inc
Abstract: This application relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a seed or seedling of an agricultural plant (e.g., an agricultural grass plant), or the agricultural plant derived from the seed or seedling. For example, this application provides purified bacterial populations that include novel seed-origin bacterial endophytes, and synthetic combinations of seeds and/or seedlings (e.g., cereal seeds and/or seedlings) with heterologous seed-derived bacterial endophytes.
20250261659. METHOD FOR MAKING PASTEURIZED IN-SHELL POACHED EGGS
Applicant: Aegis Foods Llc
Abstract: Two stage heated water treatment of shell eggs results in-shell poached eggs. The in-shell poached are sufficiently cooked so when the eggs are cracked onto a plate the eggs have the characteristics of conventional poached eggs without further cooking and need only to be warmed for consumption. The in-shell poached eggs are also pasteurized in the shell to meet the FDA and WHO requirement of a 5-log reduction of
