| 20110223303 | RESISTANCE GENES - The present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding adult plant pathogen resistance proteins. Also provided are transgenic plants expressing these polynucleotides to enhance the resistance of the plants to pathogens. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110218348 | POLYPEPTIDES AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING TRIACYLGLYCEROLS COMPRISING MODIFIED FATTY ACIDS - The present invention relates to methods of producing modified fatty acids comprising a functional group which is a hydroxyl group, an epoxy group, an acetylenic group or a conjugated double bond. For example, seeds, seedoil and methods of making seedoil are provided wherein at least 23% (mol %) of the fatty acid content of the seed or seedoil comprises the functional group. Also provided are novel polypeptides, and polynucleotides thereof, which can be used to produce the modified fatty acids, particularly in transgenic plants and cells suitable for fermentation. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110136988 | CONDENSATION POLYMERS WITH MODIFIED PROPERTIES - The present invention relates to a method of preparing a polymer composition, the method comprising melt mixing an aliphatic condensation polymer with a cyclic ester of general formula (I) where X is an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon having 2 or more carbon atoms present in the cycle. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110126325 | RECOMBINANT CELLS AND METHODS FOR HYDROXYLATING FATTY ACIDS - The present invention relates to enzymes which possess hydroxylase activity, in particular 42 hydroxylase activity, that can be used in methods of synthesizing modified fatty acids. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110059782 | WEED AND VOLUNTEER CROP SEED DESTRUCTION - A method of harvesting crop material comprising gathering the crop material and separating chaff material, and subjecting the chaff material to fragmentation in a cage mill to destroy unwanted seed material contained therein. An agricultural apparatus comprising a mobile apparatus ( | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110045127 | PLANTS WITH MODIFIED STARCH METABOLISM - The specification provides methods of obtaining a genetically modified plant which has increased production potential compared to a control plant, the method comprising the steps of i) obtaining a plurality of plants at least one of which comprises in its genome a heterologous polynucleotide, ii) identifying from the plurality of plants a plant which has increased production potential relative to the control plant and comprises the heterologous polynucleotide, and iii) selecting the genetically modified plant, wherein the polynucleotide comprises a transcriptional control sequence operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence which encodes an agent that modifies endogenous starch phosphorylation and/or starch degradation in the plant. In some embodiments, the plant has increased endogenous glycosylase or increased digestibility compared to a control plant. In some specific embodiments, the endogenous starch phosphorylation and/or starch degradation is modified by modifying expression or activity of one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of α-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), β-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2), glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3), starch phosphorylase (EC2.4.1.1), glycosylase (EC 3.1.33), sucrase-isomaltase (EC 3.2.10), amylomaltase (EC 2.4.1.25), maltase (EC 3.2.1.20), isoamylase, and α-glucan, water dikinase (GWD, EC 2.7.9.4). | 02-24-2011 |
| 20090019598 | Anther specific promoters and uses thereof - The present invention provides as isolated anther specific promoter nucleic acid molecule homologous to the Ta39 promoter of tobacco. Also contemplated are uses of the nucleic acid molecule to direct expression of a heterologous nucleic acid molecule to anther and/or pollen of a plant. | 01-15-2009 |
