Herbicide and Environmental Stress Resistant Plants and Seeds

Description:

This technology encompasses the development and use of genetically modified plants or seeds that are resistant to specific herbicides and various environmental stresses. By incorporating mutated genes, such as pic30 or its homologs, these plants or seeds can withstand conditions such as drought, plant diseases, and both biotic and abiotic stresses, while also being resistant to herbicides like picloram.

 

Key Advantages:

  • Enhanced resistance to a wide range of herbicides
  • Improved survival and yield under environmental stress conditions
  • Potential reduction in the use of chemical herbicides
  • Increased efficiency in weed management
  • Contribution to sustainable and resilient agricultural practices

 

Problems Solved:

  • Damage and yield loss due to herbicide application
  • Low survival rates and reduced productivity under stress conditions like drought and disease
  • Increased labor and cost in managing weed growth
  • Environmental impact of excessive herbicide use

 

Market Applications:

  • Agricultural crop production
  • Seed development and distribution
  • Weed management solutions
  • Sustainable farming systems
  • Genetic research and development
