23 results about "Variegation" patented technology

Variegation is the appearance of differently coloured zones in the leaves, and sometimes the stems, of plants. Variegated leaves occur rarely in nature. Species with variegated individuals are sometimes found in the understory of tropical rainforests, and this habitat is the source of a number of variegated house plants.

A spotted leafed phalaenopsis and a preparation method thereof

PendingCN122303294ABiotechnologyPhalaenopsis
This invention relates to plant genetic engineering, and more particularly to a variegated Phalaenopsis orchid and its preparation method, the preparation method comprising the following steps: (1) according to the target gene with the base sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 PePDS (1) Synthesize specific nucleotide fragments; (2) Construct specific nucleotide fragments into a plant virus vector; (3) Introduce the recombinant plant virus vector obtained in step (2) into Phalaenopsis orchid plant material; (4) Screen to obtain Phalaenopsis orchids with silenced target genes. This invention achieves rapid, efficient, and non-transgenic leaf color variegation creation in commercial Phalaenopsis orchid varieties for the first time through VIGS technology; it not only breaks through the technical bottleneck of difficult and long cycle of genetic manipulation of orchid plants, significantly shortening the trait verification cycle, but also induces diverse and highly ornamental variegated leaf phenotypes such as albino, yellow, or purple in different varieties, and has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, and industrialization feasibility.

A method for improving the quality of upper leaves of tobacco cured under arid climatic conditions

This invention discloses a method for improving the curing quality of upper tobacco leaves under arid conditions. This method targets upper leaves in arid climates, characterized by a compact structure, low leaf water content, and water bound to cellular tissue. During the yellowing stage, a dry-bulb temperature of 42-43℃ and a wet-bulb temperature of 38-39℃ are used to keep the stomata on both sides of the leaf open, ensuring the smooth removal of moisture from the tobacco leaf and allowing O2 from the curing barn to continuously enter the leaf through the stomata, aiding in the degradation of macromolecular organic matter and thus guaranteeing the quality of the tobacco leaf. This invention improves the curing quality of upper leaves under arid climates and reduces the occurrence of ash and discoloration during the curing process.

White color cultivable bamboo bird's nest and its application

PendingCN122357296ABiotechnologyMicroorganism
This invention discloses a creamy-white culturable bamboo bird's nest and its applications, belonging to the field of biotechnology. The culturable bamboo bird's nest of this invention is named Wenxue (BBN2) and was deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on September 10, 2025, with the accession number CGMCC NO.42098. This invention is based on a culturable bamboo bird's nest strain, “Green Coral” (BBN1). During artificial subculturing, the fruiting body tissues with variant traits were isolated multiple times, ultimately yielding the culturable creamy-white bamboo bird's nest strain of this invention. Compared to wild bamboo bird's nest, the culturable bamboo bird's nest of this invention is creamy-white in color, with transparent fruiting body branches, no black or other discoloration at the base, and a wider growth temperature range than wild bamboo bird's nest. The culturable creamy-white bamboo bird's nest of this invention can be produced on a large scale artificially, and also exhibits high disease resistance, showing better market prospects.
