| 20120131695 | Chalcone synthase dihyrdoflavonol 4-reductase and leucoanthocyanidine reductase from clover, medic ryegrass or fescue - The present invention relates to nucleic acid fragments encoding amino acid sequences for flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes in plants, and the use thereof for the modification of, for example, flavonoid biosynthesis in plants, and more specifically the modification of the content of condensed tannins. In particularly preferred embodiments, the invention relates to the combinatorial expression of chalcone synthase (CHS) and/or dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (BAN) and/or leucoanthocyanidine reductase (LAR) in plants to modify, for example, flavonoid biosynthesis or more specifically the content of condensed tannins. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110212243 | PARENTERAL SELENOMETHIONINE FOR PRODUCTION OF SELENIUM-RICH FOODS - A formulation for parenteral administration which includes selenomethionine and at least one oil-based vehicle. The formulation is used for elevating the selenium levels in the blood, milk and/or meat of an animal. These products (i.e. milk and meat) and the formulation itself are used to meet the selenium nutritional requirement for growth and health in a selenium deficient animal. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110191905 | Modification of Fatty Acid Biosynthesis using Recombinant Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase Sequences from Rygrass (lolium) and Fescue (festuca) - The present invention relates to nucleic acids or nucleic acid fragments encoding amino acid sequences for fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes in plants, and the use thereof for the modification of, for example, fatty acid biosynthesis in plants. In particular, the present invention relates to nucleic acids or nucleic acid fragments encoding amino acid sequences of diacylglycerol acyltransferase enzymes. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20090304698 | MODULATION OF OVULATION - The present invention is directed to the identification of a novel domain of functional significance on the GDF-9 and GDF-9B molecules and to peptides and antibodies which interact with the domain to modulate the biological activity of these molecules to alter mammalian ovarian function and ovulation rate. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090163433 | ANTHELMINTIC AND/OR INSECTICIDE DEVELOPMENT - The use of a nucleic acid molecule encoding FAS in a nematode or arthropod, or a fragment or variant thereof, to identify or produce FAS as a target for: endectocide; anthelmintic and/or insecticide; development. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090148835 | METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING THE ORIGIN OF A COMPOUND BIOLOGICAL PRODUCT - The present invention relates to an identification method. In particular, a method for identifying the origin of a compound biological product, including the batch of origin, but also in some cases the actual biological sources of a compound biological product. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090133160 | Polyoleosins - The present invention relates to constructs including one or more nucleic acids encoding two or more oleosin repeat units, and methods of use thereof. The present invention also relates to recombinant polypeptides including two or more oleosin repeat units, and methods of use thereof. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20080318326 | Method of Manufacture - The invention relates to methods of preparing a bilayer lipid membrane on a support matrix as well as a matrix preloaded with a protein and methods to achieve same. Steps used include hydration, pore infiltration, application of bilayer lipid membrane forming solutions and application of protein containing solutions. The methods and matrix produced are able to form and maintain a stable membrane. A further advantage is that the matrix may be pre-loaded with protein and then stored for use at a later date effectively stabilising the protein for later use. | 12-25-2008 |
