Chemical Roller
“No-Drift” Chemical Applicator The Problem: Unintended herbicide application can devastate home lawns and gardens, as well as surrounding properties. This often occurs due to spray drift when treating for weeds. Products designed to eliminate weeds, but preserve turf grasses, often harm nearby trees, shrubs, and other bedding plants....

Heat stable protein ingredients for clear beverage products and delivery of bioactive compounds
The Problem:Clear, ready-to-drink protein beverages are nutritious but pose a challenge for protein stability. Conventional whey, soy and meat proteins produce visible aggregates that gel at high concentrations when heated (during pasteurization or sterilization, for example) that consumers perceive as a defect. A process to address protein thermal... (read more) -
Development of an Episomal Plasmid (Minicircle) Plant Engineering System
The Problem: Traditional plastid genome (plastome) engineering is performed using homologous recombination to integrate transgenes into the endogenous plastome of plants. For species with the most efficient tissue culture systems, the complete replacement of the native plastomes with engineered plastomes (homoplasmy) is laborious and lengthy. Therefore,...

High Throughput Protoplast Isolation and Transformation of Soybean Cells from a Novel Leaf-based Cell Culture-derived System
The Problem:To achieve economic feasibility for desirable production, it is necessary to develop systems for rapid screening of gene silencing and genome editing in the plants. A low cost and efficient cell-suspension transformation system that can provide data at an early stage may have potential to eliminate low performing candidate genes/targets... (read more) -
Strong Constitutive Promoters
The Technology: Researchers at the University of Tennessee have discovered a method to induce strong expression of any gene conferring resistance to pathogens, herbicides, salt, cold, drought, or insects by using two newly identified and recently characterized switchgrass promoters. These promoters stimulate constitutive expression with 2x and 4x greater... (read more)
