| 20110047660 | COMPOSITIONS AND RELATED METHODS FOR MODULATING ALKALOID PRODUCTION BY CONTROLLING PMT PROMOTER ACTIVATION MEDIATED BY TRANSCRIPTIONAL FACTORS ERF AND MYC - Compositions and methods for modifying the production levels of alkaloids in plants are provided. Alkaloid production can be genetically controlled by modulating the transcriptional activation of PMT genes mediated by members of the ERF family and/or Myc family of transcription factors. Novel nucleotide sequences encoding the Myc family of transciption factors are also provided. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110039340 | COMPOSITIONS AND RELATED METHODS FOR MODULATING TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVATION BY INCORPORATING GAG MOTIFS UPSTREAM OF CORE PROMOTER ELEMENTS - Compositions and methods for genetically modifying the production levels of nicotine and other alkaloids in plants are provided. An expression vector which comprises a tripartite GAG motif is also disclosed. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20100249931 | MECHANICALLY COMPETENT NATURAL POLYMER BASED POROUS GRAFTS FOR BONE REPAIR AND REGENERATION - The invention provides a scaffold for bone or cartilage replacement, in which the scaffold is fabricated from naturally derived polymers. In one embodiment the invention provides a bone replacement scaffold, wherein the scaffold comprises sintered polysaccharide microspheres. In a particular embodiment the invention provides a bone replacement scaffold, in which the scaffold comprises polysaccharide microspheres comprising ethyl cellulose microspheres and/or cellulose acetate microspheres. The invention further includes methods of making bone replacement scaffolds and methods of treating bone injury in an animal. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20090174435 | Monolithically-Integrated Graphene-Nano-Ribbon (GNR) Devices, Interconnects and Circuits - The invention discloses new and advantageous uses for carbon/graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), which includes, but is not limited to, electronic components for integrated circuits such as NOT gates, OR gates, AND gates, nano-capacitors, and other transistors. More specifically, the manipulation of the shapes, sizes, patterns, and edges, including doping profiles, of GNRs to optimize their use in various electronic devices is disclosed. | 07-09-2009 |
