| 20110280790 | Production of Large, High Purity Single Crystal CVD Diamond - The invention relates to single crystal diamond with optical quality and methods of making the same. The diamond possesses an intensity ratio of the second-order. Raman peak to the fluorescence background of around 5 or greater. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20100168455 | Production of Hydroxylated Fatty Acids in Genetically Modified Plants - This invention relates to plant fatty acyl hydroxylases. Methods to use conserved amino acid or nucleotide sequences to obtain plant fatty acyl hydroxylases are described. Also described is the use of cDNA clones encoding a plant hydroxylase to produce a family of hydroxylated fatty acids in transgenic plants. In addition, the use of genes encoding fatty acid hydroxylases or desaturases to alter the level of lipid fatty acid unsaturation in transgenic plants is described. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100043097 | Brassinosteroid Regulated Kinases (BRKs) That Mediate Brassinosteroid Signal Transduction and Uses Thereof - The present invention identifies a novel family of kinases regulated by brassinosteroids, referred to as BRKs (brassinosteroid regulated kinases) or BSKs (brassinosteroid signaling kinases). The present invention provides methods for modulating the response of a plant cell to a brassinosteroid using BRKs. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20090311786 | Levels and/or Sustainability of DNA-based Gene Expression - The invention encompasses methods for improving the level and/or sustainability of expression for a target nucleic acid in a eukaryotic cell comprising: (a) modifying the target nucleic acid to introduce or to comprise signals that limit or constrain the positions of nucleosome cores, and (b) introducing the modified target nucleic acid into the eukaryotic cell, wherein the modified target nucleic acid has improved levels and/or sustainability of expression compared to original unmodified nucleic acid. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090151025 | Indeterminate Gametophyte 1 (ig1), Mutations of ig1, Orthologs of ig1, and Uses Thereof - This invention provides the genes for indeterminate gametophyte1 (ig1), mutants of ig1, homologs of ig1, and orthologs of ig1, as well as the proteins encoded by these genes. This invention also provides compositions and methods which utilize these genes and proteins. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090070902 | Production of hydroxylated fatty acids in genetically modified plants - This invention relates to plant fatty acyl hydroxylases. Methods to use conserved amino acid or nucleotide sequences to obtain plant fatty acyl hydroxylases are described. Also described is the use of cDNA clones encoding a plant hydroxylase to produce a family of hydroxylated fatty acids in transgenic plants. In addition, the use of genes encoding fatty acid hydroxylases or desaturases to alter the level of lipid fatty acid unsaturation in transgenic plants is described. | 03-12-2009 |
