20090241227 | Expression cassettes for seed-preferential expression in plants - The present invention relates to expression cassettes comprising transcription regulating nucleotide sequences with seed-preferential or seed-specific expression profiles in plants obtainable from | 2009-09-24 |
20090241228 | Nucleic Acid Molecules and Other Molecules Associated with Plants - Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) isolated from maize are disclosed. The ESTs provide a unique molecular tool for the targeting and isolation of novel genes for plant protection and improvement. The disclosed ESTs have utility in the development of new strategies for understanding critical plant developmental and metabolic pathways. The disclosed ESTs have particular utility in isolating genes and promoters, identifying and mapping the genes involved in developmental and metabolic pathways, and determining gene function. Sequence homology analyses using the ESTs provided in the present invention, will result in more efficient gene screening for desirable agronomic traits. An expanding database of these select pieces of the plant genomics puzzle will quickly expand the knowledge necessary for subsequent functional validation, a key limitation in current plant biotechnology efforts. | 2009-09-24 |

20090241230 | Expression cassettes for seed-preferential expression in plants - The present invention relates to expression cassettes comprising transcription regulating nucleotide sequences with seed-preferential or seed-specific expression profiles in plants obtainable from a tonoplast intrinsic protein, said gene being selected from the group consisting of the | 2009-09-24 |
20090241231 | Plant senescence-inducible promoter - This invention provides a plant senescence-inducible promoter and its relevant recombinant plasmid and transgenic plant. | 2009-09-24 |
20090241232 | Prototyping station for atomic force microscope-assisted deposition of nanostructures - A localized nanostructure growth apparatus that has a partitioned chamber is provided, where a first partition includes a scanning probe microscope (SPM) and a second partition includes an atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber, where the first partition is hermetically isolated from the second partition, and at least one SPM probe tip of the SPM is disposed proximal to a sample in the ALD chamber. According to the invention, the hermetic isolation between the chambers prevents precursor vapor from damaging critical microscope components and ensuring that contaminants in the ALD chamber can be minimized. | 2009-09-24 |
20090241233 | SPM PROBE WITH SHORTENED CANTILEVER - An SPM probe with an elongated support element and a cantilever projecting beyond the front face of the support element and carrying a scanning tip, with the cantilever arranged at a front face side of the support element of the probe, protruding there from a front face side flank, and with the support element having an essentially trapezoidal cross-section with a longer and a shorter transverse edge at the face side flank, and also with critical corners at one of the transverse edges of the face side flank that are closest to a sample during the scanning process, wherein the support element has an elongated raised portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the support element and of the cantilever, with the raised portion having an essentially trapezoidal cross-section, and with the cantilever arranged on the face side on a narrow transverse edge of the raised portion of the support element, and with the raised portion with the cantilever arranged preferably at the longer transverse edge of the face side flank of the support element, and with the plane extending between the scanning tip and a theoretical straight line passing through one of the critical corners, parallel to the lateral longitudinal edges of the underside of the support element, forming an angle of tilt of at least 5 degrees relative to the transverse edge. | 2009-09-24 |
