Degradation of Aflatoxin B1 in Contaminated Maize
Inventors at the University of Arizona have developed a method for removing Aflatoxin B1 from contaminated crops by using a specific type of fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus. Aflatoxin concentrations can be reduced from levels considered unacceptable for human or animal consumption to levels at which the products are safe to consume. Furthermore, the method...

Transgenic Resistance to Cotton Leaf Curl Disease in Cotton
This invention utilizes RNA interference techniques to produce a transgenic cotton strain that is resistant to cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD). These transgenic cotton plants do not produce the characteristic curling of the leaves and do not accumulate the virus. Furthermore, it produces resistance against multiple forms of the virus. This invention...

Exploiting Novel Pseudomonas Syringae Bacteriocins as Antibacterials
This invention relates to a method of controlling phytopathogens through bacteriocin-mediated inhibition of bacterial plant pathogens. This method reduces the number of bacteria found on the surface of a plant. Specifically, this invention relates in one embodiment to Pseudomonas syringae (P. syringae) strains tailored to controlling phytopathogens.
Background:
Pseudomonas...
