| 20120005774 | USE OF TREHALASE TO OBTAIN DROUGHT RESISTANCE IN PLANTS - The present invention relates to the use of trehalase to obtain drought and/or salt resistance in plants. More specifically, it relates to genetically modified constructs, transformed into plants and resulting in overexpression of trehalase, whereby the transformed plants show a significantly better drought resistance during the drought period, and a better recovery when water is supplied after the drought period. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20100204309 | OLIGONUCLEOTIDE COMPOSITIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE - The invention relates to the identification of microRNAs whose expression is diminished in neurodegenerative disorders. In particular, the identified microRNAs can be used for the downregulation of the beta-secretase (BACE1) in mammalian brain and hence for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. | 08-12-2010 |
