项目摘要

Acadian Seaplants Limited (ASL) is a fully integrated, research-driven biotech manufacturer. Through their research, ASL has developed a crop biostimulant derived from the seaweed, Ascophyllum nodosum. This seaweed biostimulant exhibits growth-stimulating activities to crops, and can reduce abiotic stress such as drought, heat, and salinity. However, the ability to decrease frost stress damage remains unclear. As a result, ASL would like to collaborate with Nova Scotia Community College to determine if and how their seaweed biostimulant reduces frost damage. In addition, ASL is interested in determining if their seaweed biostimulant can be used to help crops recover following frost damage, allowing producers to recuperate potential lost yields. Anticipated results will indicate that the ASL biostimulant can be used to mitigate frost damage by reducing direct freezing damage and by helping crops recover after the frost damage has occurred, providing a competitive advantage over other biostimulant companies. Positive results would also allow ASL to market their product to northern production systems where frost occurrence is an issue. Regional and national producers will benefit through the adoption of this product in their growing practices, allowing them to reduce yield losses associated with frost events.

Acadian Sapplants Limited（ASL）是一家完全集成的，研究驱动的生物技术制造商。通过他们的研究，ASL开发了一种源自海藻，腹膜果皮的作物生物刺激剂。这种海藻生物刺激剂向农作物表现出生长刺激的活性，并可以减少诸如干旱，热和盐度之类的非生物压力。但是，减少霜冻应力损害的能力尚不清楚。结果，ASL希望与Nova Scotia社区学院合作，以确定其海藻生物刺激剂是否以及如何减少霜冻的破坏。此外，ASL有兴趣确定其海藻生物刺激剂是否可用于帮助作物在霜冻后恢复，从而使生产商可以恢复潜在的损失产量。预期的结果将表明，ASL生物刺激剂可通过减少直接冻结损害并帮助作物在发生霜冻损害后恢复，从而减轻霜冻的损害，从而比其他生物刺激公司具有竞争优势。积极的结果还将允许ASL将其产品推向北部生产系统，在北部生产系统中，霜冻是一个问题。区域和国家生产商将通过该产品的不断增长的实践中的采用而受益，从而减少与霜冻事件相关的收益损失。
