Genetic Engineering Of Wood Color In Plants, Vincent Lee C. Chiang, Chung-Jui Tsai, Gopi K. Podila Mar 1999

Genetic Engineering Of Wood Color In Plants, Vincent Lee C. Chiang, Chung-Jui Tsai, Gopi K. Podila

Michigan Tech Patents

The invention relates to genetically engineering the wood color of woody plants by incorporation of the lignin pathway gene O-methyltransferase into the genome of the plants.


Biocidal Treatment Of Materials With Catechins, Peter E. Laks Mar 1990

Biocidal Treatment Of Materials With Catechins, Peter E. Laks

Michigan Tech Patents

Sulfide derivatives of catechins derived from condensed tannins have broad spectrum biocidal characteristics. Epicatechin-4-alkylsulfides and cupric complexes thereof containing up to 20, preferably 5 to 15, carbon atoms are particularly effective biocides against wood rotting fungi and gram-positive bacteria. Such sulfides are prepared by reacting condensed tannin, either in the form of a purified tannin extract or comminuted plant tissue, with an appropriate thiol under mild acidic conditions.
