The most important trait of large scale agronomic grains and cereals is their ability to produce seed. The seed is vital because it is eaten directly by humans, it is used as feed for livestock and it is the oil-bearing part of the plant. The farmers and companies who grow these crops attempt to maximize seed output because plants which yield more seed are more valuable.
The data displayed in the figure below shows that our technology has the ability to significantly increase the amount of seed produced by a plant. By ensuring that the plant continues to grow, even while being stressed, we can maximize the ultimate output of the plant. The bar on the left shows control plants’ typical seed production. The bars in the middle on the right show two different lines of our test plants which have respectively increased seed production by approximately 66% and 100%. 26 plants from each line were used to ensure statistical significance.
