Project description

In this ConcepTT-project we will develop a new library of natural product-based compounds with herbicidal activity to demonstrate the inventiveness of our compounds and define a Markush structure based on the lead herbicidal compounds for patent application. The collected data on the herbicidal activity of our products and its ecotoxicity values should allow us to build up and strengthen our IP-position which, in turn, should facilitate the development of these natural product-based compounds with industrial partners
