MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095457 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Novel Approaches For Enhanced Shoot Development And Branching In Mustard.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; Mastu Patel; and Polu Picheswara Rao.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The invention provides a novel method for enhancing shoot development and branching in mustard (Brassica spp.) to increase crop yield and resilience. The approach integrates the application of plant growth regulators (auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins) to promote lateral bud formation, cell division, and stem elongation, respectively. Additionally, genetic techniques such as selective breeding and CRISPR are used to develop mustard varieties with superior branching characteristics. Nutritional enhancements, including micronutrient supplementation and controlled-release fertilizers, further support plant growth. Environmental manipulation, including optimized light, temperature, and humidity conditions, ensures favorable growth. This comprehensive strategy aims to increase yield, improve stress tolerance, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
