Self-Amplifying RNA for Gene Silencing in Plants
Produces Higher Levels of RNAi to Silence Specific Genes, Protecting Plants Against Bacterial and Fungal Pathogens These self-amplifying RNAs will silence specific plant host genes and thereby protect against multiple microbial pathogens such as CLas, the bacterium that causes citrus greening disease. However, this platform technology, which is in...

Inexpensive Catalyst for Lignin Depolymerization That Produces High-Value Hydrocarbons
Converts Lignin to Aromatic Chemicals and Lowers the Cost of Refining BiomassThis process uses a low-cost catalyst to efficiently degrade the lignin in biomass into valuable aromatic compounds. Although lignin is the second most abundant polymer found in nature, after cellulose, only two percent of lignin generated from industrial processing goes directly...

Device for Automating Sorting of Haploid Maize Kernels
Uses Spectroscopy to Rapidly Distinguish and Sort Haploid Seeds for Maize Breeding Single kernel near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has been refined to sort haploid kernels created for use in maize breeding. Using the methods developed by UF’s researchers should reduce labor costs associated with manual sorting of seeds and multiply...

Colored Kaolin Clay that Protects Citrus Crops
Optically Deters Insects that Cause Citrus Greening by Altering Reflectance of the FoliageThis colored clay protects crops by effectively changing the reflectance of the foliage, camouflaging it to prevent insect attacks. Huanglongbing disease, or citrus greening, is the biggest threat to the $9.3 billion Florida citrus industry. The disease is present...
