1 PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN PLANT BREEDING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY Alan B. Bennett Distinguished Professor of Plant Sciences Executive Director, Public Intellectual Property Resource
2 Public-Private partnerships are effective at multiple levels Genetic resource conservation Sustaining the building blocks of future crops Creating the genetic base of sustainable agricultural systems Genetic resource utilization crop improvement Biotech traits The basis for publicprivate partnerships
3 Plant Genetic Resource Conservation Arboreta and botanic gardens Clonal repositories Tissue culture storage Ex situ Seed banks public seed and gene banks seed storage facilities farmer / gardener collections private seed companies DNA libraries (BACs, cdnas, etc)
4 An ex situ conservation collection Acquisition Maintenance Evaluation Research Documentation Distribution A public-private partnership between UC Davis and the California tomato seed and processing industry.
5 A collection of tomato genetic stocks and wild relatives. Mutant stocks Single gene mutations Marker combinations Wild species 17 wild species of Solanum 1,200 wild populations Miscellaneous stocks Cytogenetic stocks Landrace varieties Breeding lines etc. Total 3,600 accessions
6 Why ex-situ genetic resource collections? Threats to Wild Tomatoes in Native Area herbivores agriculture urbanization mining
7 Genetic Erosion of In Situ populations Extinction of local populations or entire species; Fewer and smaller populations means less genetic variation remains; In too many countries, little is done to protect genetic resources in situ Example: of the known populations of wild tomatoes, many have already been eliminated in situ; but are preserved ex-situ
8 Seed Distribution Annual activity requests from researchers in over 30 countries approx. 5,000 seed samples distributed utilization rate of ~ 100% seed provided gratis Common uses breeding genetics and genomics development stress tolerance fruit ripening, biochemistry evolutionary studies education
9 Utilization of genetic resources Resistances to >45 Diseases in Wild Tomatoes Root Knot Nematode Mi +
10 Utilization of genetic resources The jointless-2 gene from S. cheesmaniae facilitates mechanical harvest. + j-2
11 Utilization of genetic resources Geographic Origin and Migrations of Tomato ca ca mid-1900 s center of domestication center of diversity
12 Public-Private partnerships are effective at multiple levels Genetic resource conservation Sustaining the building blocks of future crops Creating the genetic base of sustainable agricultural systems Genetic resource utilization crop improvement Biotech traits The basis for publicprivate partnerships
13 100 Years of Plant Breeding in California Is the history of University of California public-private partnerships with industry There is a long documented history of plant breeding of 31 different crops at UC Davis. Each breeding program is a public-private partnership. The University hires plant breeders and the industry provides financial support to the breeding program. These programs provide the most important varieties to many of the major commodities in California (and globally). sbc.ucdavis.edu/files2/57360.pdf
14 Rice (Oryza sativa) Calrose variety, released in 1948 by the RES, represented 70% of CA rice area by It was the foundation variety for the growerfunded acceleration of breeding activities in 1969.
15 Wheat (Triticum) Wheat, barley and oat breeding began at UC in Yields then were about 1 ton/ha. Today, yields are 2.5 to 3.5 tons/ha. Funded by California wheat growers
16 Stopping Stripe Rust Stripe rust is a devastating disease of wheat, and the appearance of more virulent races in the year 2000 resulted in large losses that reached 25% of the California wheat crop in The availability of more precise molecular methods of selection helped provide a fast answer to the stripe rust epidemic. Today the epidemic in California is over and resistant varieties are available. Jorge Dubcovsky
17 Walnuts (Juglans regia) Virtually all walnut varieties in California are from UC Davis. They are planted on 113,000 ha, producing 99% of US walnuts. One UC Davis variety (Chandler), released by Harold Forde in 1979, still accounts for over 40% of production in California. The new Forde variety may eventually replace Chandler as the top walnut variety.
18 Alfalfa (Medicago) E.H. Stanford and W.F. Lehman released CUF 101 in 1977, which was a highly successful alfalfa variety; it is still grown on significant acreage worldwide. Highline was released in 1997 with increased pest resistance and yield and UC- Impalo-WF released in 2000 is resistant to whitefly (Bemesia). California alfalfa yields are more than double the US average, 7.7 tons/ha in California also produces one-third of the US alfalfa seed supply.
19 Grapes (Vitus) Harold Olmo began crossing grapes at UC Davis in 1934 and released more than 30 grape varieties, including 20 table grapes, 9 wine grapes and two rootstocks. Andy Walker continues the UC Davis breeding program, developing nematode- and disease-resistant rootstocks and varieties. The Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science and the Jess S. Jackson Sustainable Winery provide the most modern facilities in the world for teaching and research in grape breeding and winemaking.
20 Peach (Prunus persica) California produces virtually all of the processing peaches in the US (1 billion pounds). This industry depends on UC varieties - so do many other countries
21 Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) The UC has released 56 varieties. R. Bringhurst and V. Voth improved yield 4-fold between More than 87% of the strawberries consumed in North America are from UC varieties Approximately 60% of global strawberries are from UC varieties. R. Bringhurst D. Shaw
22 North California - Australia - Portugal - United Kingdom - New Zealand Varieties developed for California are suitable for growing conditions in other countries.
23 Licensing Objectives A Commercialization Partnership Benefit California Industry by developing new varieties for CA Global exploitation through a licensing program in strawberry regions Revenue stream (~ US$ 12M) used, in part, to support development of new varieties Key to success are strong plant IP rights in US and globally
24 Licensing Strategy A Commercialization Partnership Domestic Markets: US & Canada UC licenses directly with nurseries Global Markets UC License Indirectly to a Master Licensee Non-exclusive Basis Rights to Propagate Sell to Fruit Producers Sell to Nurseries for Propagation Exclusive Rights By Territories with strong IP Systems Control bio- piracy Reduced Fees in CA Higher Fees than in CA
25 UC s Strawberries lead in US and globally California Strawberry Industry: $2.2 B UC varieties represent 75% of California production #1 strawberry varieties in the world In 25 years, Spain s Industry grew from 0 to $1B Transfer of Plant Varieties Know-how 70-90% UC s varieties
