New composition for prevention, amelioration or treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome-related diseases The invention consists in the design and evaluation of a functional ingredient composed of several bioactive compounds for the treatment of obesity and other metabolic syndrome-related diseases. Functionality of this multi-ingredient has been tested in a cafeteria diet-induced obesity model. It has been shown that animals fed a cafeteria diet develop metabolic syndrome. The chronic administration of our multi-ingredient product reduces the effect produced by the consumption of cafeteria diet. Hence, a reduction of body weight, improvement of insulin and leptin resistance and endothelial function, a hypolipidemic, hypoglicemic and antihypertensive effect have been observed. Nowadays, there are some functional ingredients to treat or prevent some aspects of these pathologies but the novelty of this invention is that the designed multi-ingredient product is able to act in several targets at the same time.

Equipment for planting woody-seedlings in areas of precipitation deficiency TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION • The device applies a mixture of a hydrophilic polymer (hydrogel), water and optionally fertilizers and other substances at a specified dose to each seedling. • Hydrogels are strongly water-binding substances (up to 300 times their own weight), which can subsequently be used for growth and development. The water consumption of irrigated seedlings is reduced by half using hydrogel. Hydrogel also allows the growth of seedlings where it is due to lack of precipitation impossible (semi-desert, desert). Hydrogel is harmless, completely disintegrates after about five years (the time required for establishment of seedlings). • The device enables fast and efficient planting of eight thousand seedlings of forest trees, as well as agricultural crops such as coffee, banana and many others. • The device is ideal for use on large areas with low slope and well-paced terrain, such as plantations.

Pepper Genome Editing-Cas9 Stable Transformation Alexander (Sasha) Vainstein - Pepper Genome Editing-Cas9 Stable Transformation (TTM# 13921) - The researcher has developed a protocol for successfully transforming sweet and hot pepper varieties to stably express the Cas9 endonuclease of the CRISPR gene editing tool. To date, no other research group has described Cas9 gene edited pepper plants. The researcher’s Cas9-pepper lines were used for genome editing via virus-driven trans-acting guides–for all the chosen target genes/traits. This innovation will allow breeders to enhance their exhisiting pepper varieties with novel traits. Furthermore, after back-crossing the lines the breeder will be able to remove the Cas9 gene leaving behind only the gene-edited pepper varieties. These resulting lines may be considered Non-GMO in certain geographies. By combining this technology with the MemoGene TTM#1705, the breeder/researcher may screen many phenotypes when transforming a plethora of guide RNAs.

True Potato Seeds for Potato Starch Production Haim Rabinowitch - True Potato Seeds For Potato Starch Production (TTM #10851) - High quality potato starch is essential and particularly valued in the food, paper, adhesives, building, and textile industries. This is due to potato starch’s unique texture, neutral taste and high clarity compared to other starches. Our researchers have developed True Potato Seeds (TPS) for the propagation of potatoes with higher starch content. Advantages of these varieties are: TPS are cheaper and easier to handle than potato tubers. Seeds do not carry over pests and disease and hence reduce losses due to viral, bacterial and fungal infections. Production costs are reduced from USD ~760/hecater when using actual tubers to USD ~435/hectare when using TPS. Our new lines have between 4-6% higher dry matter content. Therefore, the replacement of the current system of planting tubers by transplanting TPS seedlings is of a significant economic consequence.
