Precision Delivery of Multi-Scale Payloads to Tissue-Specific Targets in Plants
Invention type: Technology
/
Case number: #22192
The invention provides a silk-based biomaterial designed to fabricate a microneedle- like device with controlled degradation rate in planta via tuning material composition and methods of manufacture thereof. The device enables precise access to xylem, phloem, and other plant tissues, thus being capable of serving as delivery tool to release cargo payloads and as sampling tool for analysis of plants fluid.
