20080234130Compositions providing tolerance to multiple herbicides and methods of use thereof - Methods and compositions are provided related to improved plants that are tolerant to more than one herbicide. Particularly, the invention provides plants that are tolerant of glyphosate and are tolerant to at least one ALS inhibitor, and methods of use thereof. The glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants comprise a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide that confers tolerance to glyphosate and a polynucleotide that encodes an ALS inhibitor-tolerant polypeptide. In specific embodiments, a plant of the invention expresses a GAT polypeptide and an HRA polypeptide. Methods to control weeds, improve plant yield, and increase transformation efficiencies are provided.09-25-2008
20090137395Maize event DP-098140-6 and compositions and methods for the identification and/or detection thereof - Compositions and methods related to transgenic glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant maize plants are provided. Specifically, the present invention provides maize plants having a DP-098140-6 event which imparts tolerance to glyphosate and at least one ALS-inhibiting herbicide. The maize plant harboring the DP-098140-6 event at the recited chromosomal location comprises genomic/transgene junctions having at least the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 and/or 6. The characterization of the genomic insertion site of the DP-098140-6 event provides for an enhanced breeding efficiency and enables the use of molecular markers to track the transgene insert in the breeding populations and progeny thereof. Various methods and compositions for the identification, detection, and use of the maize DP-098140-6 events are provided. Methods and compositions for improving yield are further provided.05-28-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100261155METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATING TO VIRAL FUSION PROTEINS - Provided herein are isolated paramyxovirus pre-triggered fusion proteins, or functional fragments thereof, which contain one or more CRAC domains in a location that is away from the transmembrane domain. Also provided herein is a computer model of the structure of the pre-triggered F protein. Compositions that directly or indirectly bind and interfere with the normal activity or binding of the pre-triggered F proteins, or the CRAC domains, are useful as antiviral agents in the treatment of paramyxovirus infections. Thus, disclosed herein are methods of screening for antiviral agents, using the isolated pre-triggered F protein, or functional fragments thereof.10-14-2010
20110256540UNRESTRICTED MUTAGENESIS AND CLONING METHODS - The invention relates to methods for amplifying, modifying, mutating and cloning DNA of any size. These methods comprise a series of PCR reactions, which are punctuated by ligation reactions.10-20-2011

20100200688System and Method for Storage and Temporary Installation of Secondary Flooring Surface - Systems and methods of rolling and unrolling secondary flooring surfaces, such as tall pile turf, are provided. The system includes a core onto which the secondary flooring surface is rolled, the core being coupled on both ends to a frame that moves along a track mounted on or in a primary surface. The system includes a drive system that allows for the conversion of a primary surface into a secondary flooring surface in a relatively short period of time. The drive system includes core adjustable speed drive units for controlling the speed and torque of the motors that drive the core, as well as frame adjustable speed drive units for controlling the speed of the movement of the frames along the tracks. The core adjustable speed drive units control the torque of the core motors during roll up and control the speed of the core motors during roll out.08-12-2010

20090028800Method of Treating Postpartum Depression and Aggression - The present disclosure is directed towards administering a biologically effective amount of a thiomolybdate compound to a patient who demonstrates either depressive or aggressive behavior. According to the present disclosure, thiomolybdate compounds can be administered orally, sublingually, intravascular, intraperitoneal, intradermal, intramuscular, or via any other known administrative techniques. Administration of the thiomolybdate compound lowers the blood serum copper level in the patient, thereby reducing the efficacy of the copper levels which helped cause the onset or postpartum depression or aggression.01-29-2009
