BRDC Success Stories:
The OCS-Mas Super Promoter
Promoters are genetic regulatory elements that turn on/off the expression of a gene.
Under the auspices of BRDC funding, a Purdue University scientist recently developed a proprietary plant promoter. And BRDC has since granted commercial licenses (or option to license) for the promoter to nearly every major agriculture biotechnology company in the world—including Japanese, European, multinational and American companies.
BRDC has also made the promoter generally available to researches in the field of plant genetic engineering. To date, more than twenty-five research organizations have taken research licenses. And the promoter is already being used in genetically-engineered crops, which are now being prepared for field trials.
This technology has now generated over fifty percent of BRDC's licensing income.
