  2. Development of roses resistant to rose rosette disease

    SBC: CONARD-PYLE CO. THE            Topic: 82

    The ornamental sector is the most valuable non-food crop sector of US agriculture. However, changing climates and increased interstate commerce have increased the ease with which diseases can spread and threaten this valuable industry. In the past few decades, Rose Rosette Disease (RRD) has spread from its source in the Rockies, through the Mid-West to the South and major populations centers of th ...

  3. Research & Development of Ergonomic Tools & Equipment for Women Livestock Farmers

    SBC: GREEN HERON TOOLS, LLC            Topic: 812

    Some 30% of U.S. farm operators are women, and an unspecified number of "farm wives" and other female helpers also perform farm chores. Despite anatomical, physiological and anthropometric characteristics that place women at elevated risk for some farm injuries, women have typically had to use agricultural tools and equipment ill-suited to their frames, physical strengths etc.Green Heron Tools, LL ...

  4. An Instant Estrogen Sensor for Poultry Gender Sorting Automation

    SBC: ABZYME THERAPEUTICS LLC            Topic: 83

    The need for segregation of poultry based on sex is driven by gender-related differences in growth rate, market age, management practices, and nutritional requirements. Each day, global poultry industry staff would ideally like to determine the gender of > 150 million newly hatched birds. Currently, this can be done only manually at the hatchery, which is a virtually impossible undertaking. Automa ...

  5. High-performance lignopolymer surfactants

    SBC: SALIX LIGNOPOLYMERS, LLC            Topic: 81

    Salix Lignopolymers is commercializing a formulation of polymer-grafted kraft lignin that utilizes controlled polymerization chemistry to produce a hybrid nanoparticle having a lignin core and a polymer corona. When grafted with water-soluble polymers, experiments in surfactant applications have shown materials made of 60% lignin are highly surface active. In contrast, traditional polymer grafting ...

  6. Low-Cost Sampling Approaches for Measuring Induced VOC???s of Citrus

    SBC: APPLIED NANOTECH, INC.            Topic: 813

    There are several diseases that are attacking citrus crops world-wide. The citrus industry desperately needs early detection of these infections. However, there are no low-cost, robust diagnostic tests currently available for early identification of citrus diseases under field conditions. This proposal directly responds to the need to reduce the impact of plant diseases and insect pests on citrus ...

  7. Fluorescent Aptamer Test Strips for Food Safety Testing

    SBC: Operational Techologies Corporation            Topic: 85

    The lateral flow (LF) or immunochromatographic (IC) test strip is a staple test format in the food safety testing arsenal. However, the sensitivity of LF assays is limited partly due to antibody affinity and partly due to the visual detection limit of colloidal gold or colored latex particles. Operational Technologies Corporation (OpTech) has developed hundreds of high affinity candidate DNA aptam ...

  8. Development of Monoclonal and Polyclonal Antibodies Suitable for a Commercial Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) ELISA

    SBC: Abraxis, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical which does not occur naturally in the environment,it has been used in many commercial applications. A number of scientific findings since the late 1990's have elevated PFOAs to the category of great environmental concern beacuse of its persistence, and the potential for bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Effective environmental and health pr ...

  9. High Yield, High Efficiency Bio-Refining

    SBC: Advanced Materials and Processes            Topic: N/A

    Processing of vegetable oils is complicated by the need to remove free fatty acids. Washing with caustic is a viable process but is inefficient because fatty acids and caustic form soaps which cause emulsions. These emulsions cause a yield loss of 1-1.5% or 160-240 Million lb/yr of soybean oil alone. The purpose of this project is to improve yields and energy efficiency in vegetable oil processing ...
