| Patent application number | Title | Published |
| 20090178157 | CELL PROLIFERATION-RELATED POLYPEPTIDES AND USES THEREFOR - Disclosed are proteins, and nucleic acids encoding such proteins, involved in or associated with cell proliferation, senesence, differentiation, development, and stress response in plants. Also disclosed are uses for such proteins. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178158 | RESISTANCE AGAINST PARASITIC WEEDS - The seeds of parasitic plants of the genera | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178159 | PLANTS WITH ALTERED ROOT ARCHITECTURE, INVOLVING THE RUM1 GENE, RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS - Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides and recombinant DNA constructs particularly useful for altering root structure of plants, compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs, and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA construct comprises a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide useful for altering plant root architecture. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178160 | Modulation of Triterpenoid Content in Plants - Compositions and methods for producing triterpenoid compounds, e.g., squalene, are disclosed. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178161 | METHOD FOR DIRECTING NUCLEIC ACIDS TO PLASTIDS - The invention relates to nucleic acid sequences naturally imported into a plant cell plastid, and use thereof for directing an RNA sequence of interest to a plastid, which permits, in particular, the directed expression of a protein of interest in a plant cell plastid. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178162 | STRESS-RELATED POLYPEPTIDES AND USES THEREFOR - Disclosed are proteins, and nucleic acids encoding such proteins, involved in or associated with the stress response (both biotic and abiotic stress) in plants. Also disclosed are uses for such proteins. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178163 | Genome-wide identification and characterization of gene expression regulatory elements in Zea mays for use in plants - The present invention provides non-coding regulatory element polynucleotide molecules isolated from the lipid transfer protein (LTP) gene of | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178164 | Spreading Ryegrass - Perennial ryegrass plants with a spreading habit are provided. The perennial ryegrass plants of the present invention display a growth habit with intertwining tillers that form a very dense sward of 10,000 tillers or more per square foot within one growing season. The ryegrass plants of the present invention also display secondary tillers, something not seen in currently available commercial perennial ryegrass varieties. The spreading growth habit of the plants of the present invention makes a very attractive turfgrass when grown for turf and also provides high seed production. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178165 | CANTILEVER WITH PIVOTING ACTUATION - Improved actuation device useful in direct-write nanolithography and imaging including use of a pivot point for downward deflection of a cantilever with long travel path. A device comprising at least one holder, at least one cantilever, an extension of the said cantilever wherein the extension is integrated with an actuator, wherein the cantilever is adapted for actuated movement. The actuator can be electrostatic, thermal, or piezoelectric. The cantilever can comprise a tip, and material can be transferred from the tip to a surface. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178166 | Method for microfabricating a probe with integrated handle, cantilever, tip and circuit - A simple method for integrating a circuit onto a probe with a handle, a cantilever and a tip is provided. By fabricating a probe whose surface has recessed patterns of the desirable profile, a circuit can be formed on one part of the handle out over the cantilever and back onto a different part of the handle without employing a circuit lithography step. The circuit material constituting the circuit is deposited orthogonally to the probe surface with a line-of-sight technique. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178167 | INFORMATION MEMORY APPARATUS USING PROBE - A first thermal buffer layer and a second thermal buffer layer are arranged between a recording medium and an actuator structure. The heat conductivity of the first thermal buffer layer is set low and the heat conductivity of the second thermal buffer layer is set high. Most of the heat generated from a coil wiring of the actuator structure is blocked by the first thermal buffer layer, and heat leaked from the first thermal buffer layer is diffused by the second thermal buffer layer. Temperature distribution on the recording medium is made uniform, and thus, a configuration wherein the recording medium and the actuator structure are placed one over another can be provided, information reading accuracy or information recording stability can be improved and the sizes of an information storage device can be reduced. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178168 | INFORMATION MEMORY APPARATUS USING PROBE - In a two-dimensional probe array, an interval between the leading ends of probes adjacent to each other in an X direction is made shorter than that between the leading ends of probes adjacent to each other in a Y direction. Thus, the leading ends of the probes are arranged to form a lattice wherein many rectangles are arranged. Furthermore, the lowest resonance frequency of an actuator which moves a recording medium in the X direction is set higher than the lowest resonance frequency of an actuator which moves the recording medium in the Y direction. At the time of recording or reading information, the recording medium is reciprocated in the X direction at a frequency substantially equal to the lowest resonance frequency of the actuator. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178169 | Centipedegrass plant named 'BA-417' - A newly discovered, and asexually prorogated genotype of Centipedegrass with a distinct set of agronomic, horticultural, and morphological traits. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178170 | Agapanthus plant named 'Northern Star' - A new cultivar of | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178171 | Ageratum plant named 'Agbilir' | 07-09-2009 |
