Vip3-Resistant Helicoverpa Zea
This technology is a genetically diverse strain of corn earworm that has been selected over multi-generations to be resistant to Vip3 (a Bt protein produced by transgenic crops). It is a tool used for screening/selecting candidate proteins to determine if they overcome resistance.
Background:
A rapidly expanding global population, coupled with limited...

Grasshopper Harvester
Killing two birds with one stone is a common way to describe one solution that takes care of two problems. This invention kills three.
The destruction of grassland and crops via locusts and other grasshoppers;
The ever-increasing need for protein creation and human consumption; and
Farmer’s need to feed their livestock with protein-rich food.
This...

Disrupting Mosquito Eggshell Formation by Targeting A Highly Diverged Biological Pathway
This technology is a new method to control mosquito populations by disrupting mosquito-specific proteins important for embryonic development. Based on a bioinformatics study, a mosquito-specific regulatory protein, Eggshell Organizing Factor 1 (EOF1), was discovered, which is highly diverged from other species. EOF1 controls the synthesis of eggshell...

TomCats (Tomato Caterpillars)
This invention is the production of protein-rich caterpillars.
Background:
Population growth and increasing standards of living require significantly greater food production. Animal protein sources demand high-intensity uses of land, water, and energy. In many cultures insects are traditionally served as an alternative protein source. These sustainably...

Nematicidal Activity of three Secondary metabolites produced by the Entomopatogenic Bacteium Photorhabdus l. sonorensis
University of Arizona researchers have discovered secondary metabolites that were isolated from P. l. sonorensis bacteria with potential use in nematicides. This technology has the potential to control plant parasitic nematodes effectively, while still being safe and following environmental regulations. In particular, this technology involves the use...
