Applied DNA Sciences Granted US Patent for Identification of Genetic Variants of Pima Cotton - Seite 2
Dr. James Hayward, President and CEO of APDN commented: "This is an extraordinarily valuable extension of our Intellectual Property portfolio. fiberTyping is in wide use to detect noncompliance with specifications when upland cotton is substituted for ELS. Now pimaTyping will allow us to identify source when non-American ELS is substituted for the American cultivar. Our portfolio allows us to diagnose supply chain problems in cotton with genotyping; we can then future-proof the supply chain with SigNature T marking as we have already demonstrated."
With SigNature T marking and authentication, suppliers of cotton to the US military can prove their cotton is of American origin, in compliance with the Berry Amendment, which applies generally to textiles and apparel which gives preference to government suppliers who use American-grown cotton.
