Patent moves with Seed Science against Plant Pathogens

About midway down on the left column the invention starts to give kind of a background of the useful nature of pathogen effectors that are found in seeds of grains, of which essentially, are also present in all seeds.

The invention in right column side is rather DRY to read is about what's "protected" in the patent as a dry product that can be added to livestock feed for balancing the livestock gut ecosystem. (ie. my mung bean sprouts more useful to cattle than me)

As a whole, The idea of the whole thing brings to light what happens beneath the hostile and decomposing leaf surface or in natural compost and what seeds naturally have the ability to do in the winter and absence of light. More adapt to traditional medicines (lower left side).

In another small way it also seems to bring to light to me why old timer nurseries would use cow dung for grafting protection to bad pathogens, same as purposes we would do sealing out disease, and only more.. possibly medicate the graft with dung about pre-existing conditions.

If the good effectors are already (per patent) in 3 day old cereal grain malts, then of course today in the course of electric mixing machines (Vitamix) producing our own recipe of something similar to mung bean sprouts, sounds way better.

One of the things to do about prolonging usefulness in my experiences about refrigerating grafting material is keeping listed: apricot, sweet cherry and peach as near to 32F as possible to be sure. Or otherwise at 35F good rates go down very fast. I do it below 32F. 

Can't achieve that low, then buying the product from a feed store, or experimenting with bean sprouts mash are only other possibilities I know. There are times at propagation fairs I hear about return customers wanting to get it right the next time, and I hate to hear that. Which is why I usually emphasis the degree of difficulty. Add on top of that -virus problems which nothing here can address other than technical note: Importing an agricultural stock over State lines without a nursery certificate is illegal.

Excluding virus issues;
Where the first link is Seed Science, the following link is another idea from a Cooperative Extension about handling and cutting potato starters, the best way of doing it. Which to me conjuncts directly to the patent and my previous points where grafting and handling/storage of certain scions are important.
