20150074852 | GENETIC LOCI ASSOCIATED WITH HEAD SMUT RESISTANCE IN MAIZE - Head smut is one of the most devastating diseases in maize, causing severe yield loss worldwide. The present invention describes the fine-mapping of a major QTL conferring resistance to head smut. Markers useful for breeding, and methods for conferring head smut resistance are described. Nucleic acid sequence from the genetic locus conferring head smut resistance is disclosed. Genes encoding proteins conferring head smut resistance are disclosed. | 2015-03-12 |
20150074853 | METHODS FOR INCREASING COTTON FIBER LENGTH - The present invention relates to the field of plant molecular biology, more particularly cotton WRINKLED 1-like (WREL) genes. More specifically, the present invention relates to cotton WRIL genes whose products act as transcription factors of genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. The present invention also relates to methods of increasing cotton fiber length in cotton. In one embodiment, the methods involve modulating the level of activity of an enzyme involved in a fatty acid biosynthesis in the host cotton cell and/or culturing the host cotton cell. In another embodiment, the methods involve the manipulation of transcription factors which can regulate an enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. | 2015-03-12 |
20150074854 | GENERATION OF PLANTS WITH ALTERED OIL, PROTEIN, OR FIBER CONTENT - The present invention is directed to plants that display an improved oil quantity phenotype or an improved meal quality phenotype due to altered expression of an HIO nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with an improved oil quantity phenotype or improved meal quality phenotype. | 2015-03-12 |
20150074855 | NOVEL CAMPANULA FLAVONOID 3',5'-HYDROXYLASE GENE AND ITS USE - There is provided a novel | 2015-03-12 |
20150074856 | GENETICALLY MODIFIED CHRYSANTHEMUMS - The present invention relates to genetically modified chrysanthemum plants expressing altered inflorescence. The chrysanthemum flavonoid pathway is manipulated to produce plants with blue or violet inflorescence. Blue delphinidin pigments are produced by the expression of flavonoid 3′5′ hydroxylase and (optionally) the suppression of flavonoid 3′ hydroxylase activity. | 2015-03-12 |
20150074857 | PLANT HAVING SUPPRESSED EXPRESSION OF GLYCOALKALOID BIOSYNTHETIC ENZYME GENE OR ALTERED ACTIVITY OF THE ENZYME - Provided are the DNA of a glycoalkaloid biosynthetic enzyme of solanaceous plants (Solanaceae) such as potato, solanaceous plants producing no glycoalkaloids, and a method of producing a cultivar with a reduced risk of accumulating glycoalkaloids, which involves crossing plants in which the expression of an oxidase gene involved in glycoalkaloid biosynthesis is suppressed or the activity of the enzyme is lowered, as mother plants, and screening progeny resulting from the crossing. | 2015-03-12 |
20150074858 | LOLIUM MULTIFLORUM LINE INDUCING GENOME LOSS - Dihaploid homozygous | 2015-03-12 |
20150074859 | Low Drift Scanning Probe Microscope - A scanning probe microscope, such as an atomic force microscope, and method including z-stage and a bridge structure. A scanner containing a probe is mounted to the z-stage, which is movable in the z-axis to raise and lower the probe. The method reduces thermal drift of the z-stage and the bridge using a combination of heating elements thermally coupled to the z-stage and the bridge, ambient temperature sensors, and a controller to actively control the heating elements to maintain the bridge and the z-stage at an elevated temperature. Ideally, the temperatures in the system are selected so as to reduce drift between the probe and the sample during AFM scanning, wherein the drift is preferably maintained at less than about 1 nm for an ambient temperature change of about 1° C. | 2015-03-12 |
20150074860 | Rosa hybrida shrub named auspluto - A variety of rose plant of the shrub class, named ‘AUSpluto’. The ‘AUSpluto’ is a variety of rose having very large flowers with a distinct two-tone coloration having rich yellow centers and pink outer petals with a fruity fragrance. | 2015-03-12 |
20150074861 | Rosa hybrida shrub named AUSyacht - A variety of rose plant of the shrub class, named ‘AUSyacht’. The ‘AUSyacht’ is a variety of a rose suitable for cut-flower production with double, deep red blooms having many petals in the character of an old-fashioned garden shrub rose. | 2015-03-12 |
