LIDA Plant Research Commemorates Obtaining Its International Patent for the Synergistic Mixture of Plant Defense Response Inducers
LIDA Plant Research, a company specializing in the research and development of innovative solutions for agriculture, commemorates one of the most significant milestones in its scientific history: the granting of an international patent on synergistic mixtures of plant defense response inducers, a technology designed to amplify alarm signals (priming effect) in the plant in order to maximize its innate immunity against various biotic stress conditions.
Since its founding, LIDA Plant Research has focused much of its research activity on the study of gene expression activation in plants, becoming a pioneer in this field and establishing biotechnological innovation as an essential part of its corporate DNA.
Characteristics of the patent
The patent scientifically validates the discovery of various compounds, one of which is a pattern-activated innate immune elicitor and the other a systemic resistance inducer that enhances plants’ defense mechanisms, in particular through a synergistic effect. This amplifies the alarm signals within the plant compared to the individual application of these compounds, thereby eliciting a stronger defense response.
Current research projects
LIDA Plant Research is currently continuing to develop new lines of research aimed at promoting more sustainable and efficient agriculture, helping growers to export to the most demanding markets.
Among its most recent projects are BIOFORCE Technology, which combines defense elicitors with microorganisms, as well as studies on its Activane and Relliance products relating to plants’ cellular detoxification capacity, focusing on the degradation of chemical residues and the reduction of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in crops.
Through this commitment to scientific innovation and technology transfer, LIDA Plant Research reaffirms its dedication to developing sustainable agricultural solutions capable of addressing the current and future challenges facing the global agri-food sector.
