  1. Lars von Borcke Business Development Manager Introduction to PBL & Nitrate Sensors

  2. Managing Innovation across the Biosciences • Founded 1994 by John Innes Centre and Gatsby Foundation • Since 2004, equally owned by JIC, TSL, BBSRC • Protect and commercialise public innovations • Social and Economic Impact from academic research • Broad life science expertise : • plantsbut also microbes, animals, food, biotech/pharma Business Model : invest time, money and reputation in return for a share in commercial revenues that we create

  3. PBL Activities • Identify, assess and protect academic IP • Fund and manage patentprosecution • Invest in, and help manage, Technology Development • Market technology to commercial development partners • Conclude and monitorlicences for commercial exploitation

  4. PBL Technology Portfolio by Origin

  5. PBL Technology Portfolio some examples • Jasmonic acid seed treatment • Beneforte Broccoli • siRNA gene silencing • HT-CPMV protein expression • GM Traits: • Late blight resistance • Abiotic stress • Deelopment and yield • Germplasm • High oleic acid oilseed • Pod shatter resistance oilseed • Potato sprouting detection

  6. Working together • Accessible and responsive : phone or email, no forms • Quick and early advice • What’s worth “doing” (and what’s not) • Value adding work, and getting it done/funded • Patent draft • Priority • PCT • Later examination • Ongoing relationship/portfolio • Anticipates new items • Regular dialogue

  7. Nitrate – the issues Nitrogen of prime importance (120m tonnes $40bn) Yield: nutrients are limiting Nitrogen overuse of up to 60% Cost in EU up to Euro 300bn Cost: Winter wheat $248/ha

  8. In-soil nitrate sensors : Precision Agriculture Tony Miller

  9. Measuring over a whole growing season of wheat (12 months)rainfall and soil moisture measurements Soil moisture measurements at 4 different depths Rainfall

  10. Measuring over a whole growing season of wheat (12 months)in-soil nitrate measurements Soil moisture measurements at 4 different depths Nitrate measurements at 3 different depths Rainfall
