Title: Innovations by Jan P Hazebroek
Introduction
Jan P Hazebroek is an accomplished inventor based in Johnston, IA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of plant genetics and metabolic profiling, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on developing methods that enhance our understanding of plant traits and phenotypes.
Latest Patents
One of Hazebroek's latest patents is titled "Prediction of phenotypes and traits based on the metabolome." This invention provides methods for characterizing metabolic profiles, phenotypic profiles, and trait profiles in plants or groups of plants. It also includes methods for establishing an unbiased model between a phenotypic profile and a metabolic profile, or between a trait profile and a metabolic profile. Furthermore, the invention outlines methods for using these unbiased models to accurately predict the development of a phenotype or trait of interest in independent, immature plants. In one embodiment, immature plants are selected based on their predicted development of a phenotype or trait of interest.
Another notable patent involves the development of an "Endogenous vegetable oil derived from helianthus annuus seeds." This invention presents sunflower plants and seeds capable of forming a novel endogenous vegetable oil. The plants yield an atypical combination of palmitic acid and oleic acid through genetic control. The concentration of palmitic acid in the oil constitutes at least 20 percent by weight of the total fatty acid content, while oleic acid constitutes at least 45 percent. This novel oil is particularly useful in the production of margarine or a cocoa butter equivalent.
