...that when IBM conducted a market study of Chester Carlson's invention in 1959, the company concluded that it would take only 5000 units of his new product to saturate the market? IBM therefore declined to be part of the new product introduction. Too bad for IBM. Carlson's invention was the xerography process, and his new product was the beginning of the Xerox Corporation. It is estimated that every day, worldwide, 3,000,000,000 copies are made!!

| 7442549 | Method of constructing orchid haploid by treating unfertilized orchid flower with auxin and method of growing orchid It is intended to provide a pure line plant which is required in constructing a seed propagation variety of orchid. An auxin solution is dropped to unfertilized orchid flowers so as to form seeds based on parthenogenesis. Then these seeds are germinated and haploid ... | 10/28/2008 |
| 6812028 | Embryogenesis and plant regeneration from microspores A method for embryogenesis and a method for plant regeneration are disclosed. Microspore-containing plant segment from donor plants are harvested and incubated under pre-treatment conditions to maintain microspore at a uninucleate cell cycle G1 phase. Pre-treatment ... | 11/02/2004 |
| 6803502 | Soybean variety AP98041-2-333 The present invention is in the field of soybean variety AP98041-2-333 breeding and development. The present invention particularly relates to the soybean variety AP98041-2-333 and its progeny, and methods of making AP98041-2-333. ... | 10/12/2004 |

| 5910625 | Inbred corn plant 3AZA1 and seeds thereof According to the invention, there is provided inbred corn plant, 3AZA1. This invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the fore-mentioned inbred corn plant and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing one the inb... | 06/08/1999 |
| 5770788 | Inducing chromosome doubling in anther culture in maize Fertile corn plants are produced by culturing anthers or pollen in the presence colchicine which is added to an otherwise ordinary anther culture medium after a pre-culture phase in the absence of the colchicine. The colchicine induces doubling of the chr... | 06/23/1998 |
| 5639951 | Doubled haploids The present invention provides, inter alia, the use in the screening of haploid or doubled haploid plants or seeds of at least one dominant gene selected from the group consisting of conditional lethal genes, screenable marker genes and selectable marker ... | 06/17/1997 |
| 5043282 | Method of producing plant cell lines and plant hybrids A method is disclosed for producing, in a single culture, plant cells that contain a self incompatibility (SI) determinant and plant cells that do not. A selected line is crossed with a line that is homozygous for an SI determinant, and pollen or microspo... | 08/27/1991 |
| 4835339 | Tomato anther culture A method is disclosed for forming haploid tomato plants. Plants so formed are normal, flowering plants but are sterile.
