From the last SSRC 10k:

"The potential uses of the olfaction intellectual property assets derived from the Columbia License consist of know-how related to three families of patent applications relating to (i) odorant receptors and their uses, (ii) cloning of vertebrate pheromone receptors and their uses and (iii) genes encoding insect odorant receptors and their uses. We believe that the know-how most likely to be useful in the near future is in the area of insect control, because insects operate entirely through sense of smell and taste for feeding, mating, locating egg-laying sites and general navigation. Blocking the insect sense of smell and taste may afford a potential strategy to inhibit insect reproduction, feeding behavior, and damage to humans, animals, crops and stored products. Such a technology would not require genetic modification of the plant or insect and may rely solely on compounds that are natural, non-toxic and compatible with organic farming methods. This technology has the potential to offer a high level of specificity providing for the targeting of an individual species, reduction of environmental disruption and less chance of insect resistance."

Consistent with the last pr from Bayer Crop Science (in my previous post), and don't forget SSRC was featured in the Bayer annual report as one of 16 "Highlights of 2010." A very quiet company here. They will not hint at any developments, good or bad, from the research and product development agreement with Bayer Crop Science. News will come when the agreement produces results, positive or negative.
