METHODS OF IDENTIFYING, SELECTING, AND PRODUCING ANTHRACNOSE STALK ROT RESISTANT CROPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240344080 titled 'METHODS OF IDENTIFYING, SELECTING, AND PRODUCING ANTHRACNOSE STALK ROT RESISTANT CROPS

The field of the patent application is related to plant breeding and methods of identifying and selecting plants with resistance to anthracnose stalk rot. The patent provides methods to identify novel genes that encode proteins providing plant resistance to anthracnose stalk rot 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 anthracnose stalk rot
• Methods for selecting and breeding plants with resistance to anthracnose stalk rot
• Utilization of disease-resistant genes in plant production through various methods such as transgenic modification
• Potential applications in agriculture for developing disease-resistant crops
• Contribution to sustainable farming practices by reducing the need for chemical pesticides

• • Potential Applications:**

The technology can be applied in agriculture for developing disease-resistant crops, leading to increased crop yield and reduced reliance on chemical pesticides.

• • Problems Solved:**

The technology addresses the issue of anthracnose stalk rot in plants by providing methods to identify and select genes that confer resistance to the disease.

• • Benefits:**

The technology can lead to more sustainable farming practices, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact from chemical pesticide use.

• • Commercial Applications:**

The technology can be utilized by seed companies, agricultural biotechnology firms, and farmers to develop and cultivate disease-resistant crops for commercial sale in the agricultural market.

• • Questions about Plant Resistance to Anthracnose Stalk Rot:**

1. How can the identification of novel genes encoding proteins for plant resistance to anthracnose stalk rot benefit the agricultural industry? 2. What are the potential implications of using disease-resistant genes in plant production through methods such as transgenic modification?
