| 20120115800 | Pigment Aggregates - The invention provides a method for in vitro formation of anthocyanic vacuolar inclusion (AVD-like structures, the method comprising the step of combining at least one anthocyanin, and b) at least one lipid. The invention also provides AVI-like structures produced by the method of the invention, compositions comprising such AVI-like structures, and uses of such AVI-like structures. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20110214211 | RASPBERRY PLANT VARIETY NAMED 'NR7' - A new and distinct floricane fruiting red raspberry, | 09-01-2011 |
| 20100319249 | FLUID RELEASE VALVE USING FLEXIBLE FLUID PERMEABLE MEMBRANE - A gas release device that includes a reservoir of pressurised gas and a passageway from said reservoir to an outlet. There is an elastic gas permeable membrane in the passageway that allows gas release only via the membrane. A gas impermeable member is provided in the passageway that includes an interface positioned to contact said gas permeable membrane. Displacement of the gas permeable membrane is responsive to the pressure of the gas in the reservoir such that there is a greater interfacial contact between the gas impermeable member and the gas permeable membrane at a higher gas pressure than at lower pressure to thereby vary the exposed cross sectional area of the permeable membrane available to the flow in an inverse relationship to pressure. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100306012 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING AND PREDICTING CROP PERFORMANCE - The invention provides a method of managing fertiliser and irrigation inputs for a crop, the method comprising obtaining management data for the crop, the management data including a planting date for the crop; obtaining weather data representative of the geographic area of the crop; obtaining soil description data representative of the geographic area of the crop; calculating an emergence date at least partly from the planting date; calculating a plurality of nitrogen deficit values at least partly from the emergence date and the soil description data, the nitrogen deficit values associated with respective dates each later than the emergence date; calculating a plurality of water deficit values at least partly from the emergence date and the weather data, the water deficit values associated with respective dates each later than the emergence date; and presenting on a display a schedule of recommended nitrogen application values, irrigation values and application dates, the schedule calculated at least partly from the nitrogen deficit values and the water deficit values. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100281581 | Transformation and Regeneration of Allium Plants - This invention relates to methods for the transformation of plants from the genus | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100170019 | RASPBERRY PLANT NAMED 'WAKEFIELD' - A new and distinct floricane fruiting red raspberry, | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100138965 | Blueberry variety named 'Blue Moon' - A new and distinct Northern Highbush blueberry variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the blueberry variety known as ‘Nui’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,699) and an unnamed seedling selection called B7.8.1 (not patented). The fruit of this new variety is large, with an attractive appearance characterised by good bloom and good firmness; fruit has an outstanding fruit quality with sweet and aromatic flavour. Mature plant is upright while the young plant is semi-upright with medium to good vigour. The new variety has been named ‘Blue Moon’. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100115679 | Blueberry variety named 'Ocean Blue' - A new and distinct rabbiteye blueberry variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the blueberry varieties known as ‘Centurion’ (not patented) and ‘Rahi’ (not patented). The fruit of this new variety has an outstanding fruit quality with little grittiness, medium to good firmness and appears suitable for the mid season fresh fruit market and has been named ‘Ocean Blue’. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100115678 | Blueberry variety named 'Sky Blue' - A new and distinct Rabbiteye blueberry variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the blueberry varieties known as ‘Centurion’ (not patented) and ‘Rahi’ (not patented). The fruit of this new variety is large and firm, with an attractive appearance characterised by good bloom; fruit has an outstanding quality with good balance between sugar and acidity. Plant is upright with medium to good vigour and medium yield. The new variety has been named ‘Sky Blue’. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100115677 | Blueberry variety named 'sunset blue' - A new and distinct Northern Highbush blueberry variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the blueberry variety known as ‘Reka’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,700) and an unreleased seedling selection called B7.8.1 (not patented). The fruit of this new variety is medium to large, with strong bloom, good flavour with a good balance between sugar and acidity, and extended shelf life. Plant is upright with good vigour and an early heavy crop. The new variety has been named ‘Sunset Blue’. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100115676 | Blueberry variety named 'F126' - A new and distinct Southern Highbush blueberry variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the blueberry variety known as ‘Reka’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,700) and the blueberry variety known as ‘Island Blue’ (not patented). The fruit of this new variety is small, round, with an attractive appearance characterised by good bloom; fruit has an outstanding quality, sweet, and with a low acidity content. Plant is upright with good vigour, heavy crop early in the summer and a potential second crop late in the summer. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100077503 | Transferases, Epimerases, Polynucleotides Encoding These and Uses Thereof - The invention provides compositions and methods for modulating GDP-L-Galactose Guanyltransferase (also known as GDP-L-Galactose phosphorylase) activity; and/or GDP-D-Mannose epimerase activity; and/or ascorbate content in plants. The invention provides plants and plant cells with increased GDP-L-Galactose Guanyltransferase activity; and/or GDP-D-Mannose epimerase activity. The invention provides plants and plant cells with increased ascorbate content as a result of: over-expression of GDP-L-Galactose Guanyltransferase; over-expression of GDP-D-Mannose epimerase; or in particular over-expression of a combination of GDP-L-Galactose Guanyltransferase and GDP-D-Mannose epimerase. | 03-25-2010 |
