| 20110191895 | PLANT FARNESYLTRANSFERASES - This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a farnesyltransferase subunit. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the farnesyltransferase subunit, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the farnesyltransferase subunit in a transformed host cell. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110083519 | Correlating Push Force and Stalk Vibration to a Plant's Susceptibility to Stalk Lodging and Brittle Snap - The present device enables measurement of the susceptibility of corn plants to stalk lodging and brittle snap. The device is used to push over a corn stalk and the force used to push over the stalk, and the vibration of the stalk caused by the push are recorded. As material breaks in the stalk, an accelerometer, measures stalk vibration response to the breaking events; the data is then recorded to allow quantitative measurements of the susceptibility of corn plants to stalk lodging and brittle snap. This allows meaningful comparisons of various hybrids at early stages of hybrid evaluation and advancement. | 04-14-2011 |
