20130312138 | PLANTS WITH INCREASED ACTIVITY OF A STARCH PHOSPHORYLATING ENZYME - The present invention relates to plant cells and plants, which are genetically modified, whereby the genetic modification leads to an increase in the activity of a starch-phosphorylating OK1 protein in comparison to the corresponding wild type plant cells or wild type plants that have not been genetically modified. In addition, the present invention concerns means and methods for the manufacture of such plant cells and plants. These types of plant cells and plants synthesise a modified starch. Therefore, the present invention also concerns the starches synthesised from the plant cells and plants according to the invention, methods for manufacturing these starches, and the manufacture of starch derivatives of these modified starches, as well as flours containing starches according to the invention. | 2013-11-21 |
20130312139 | Methods and Compositions for the Inhibition of Meristematic Growth on Cucurbit Rootstock - The invention provides methods of inhibiting the growth of a shoot apical meristem of a cucurbit rootstock plant, comprising contacting a shoot apical meristem of the cucurbit rootstock plant with an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more fatty alcohols, thereby inhibiting the growth of the shoot apical meristem of the cucurbit rootstock plant. The present invention further provides methods for preparing and producing cucurbit rootstock plants for grafting and methods for grafting. Additionally provided are cucurbit rootstock plants and plant parts and grafted cucurbit plants produced by the methods of the invention. | 2013-11-21 |
20130312140 | NEW BROCCOLI PLANT AND USE THEREOF - The present invention deals with new type of broccoli plant suitable for the industrial manufacture of broccoli heads and florets. The invention relates to broccoli plants producing a head that is flat, comprises multiple individualized florets and protrudes above the leaves making it easy to harvest by machine. The invention further deals with methods and uses of the broccoli plants, heads and florets for the manufacture of broccoli processed and/or packaged food products. | 2013-11-21 |
20130312141 | METHODS FOR ALTERING THE REACTIVITY OF PLANT CELL WALLS - Methods and means are provided for the modification of the reactivity of plant cell walls, particularly as they can be found in natural fibers of fiber producing plants by inclusion of positively charged oligosaccharides or polysaccharides into the cell wall. This can be conveniently achieved by expressing a chimeric gene encoding an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, particularly an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, capable of being targeted to the membranes of the Golgi apparatus in cells of a plant. | 2013-11-21 |
20130312142 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIGH-SPEED ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY - A high-speed atomic force microscope (HSAFM) is disclosed herein. The HSAFM includes a cantilever, a piezotube, an optical detector, a circuit element, and a feedback controller. The cantilever has a probe, and the piezotube is arranged in proximity to the probe. The optical detector is configured to detect deflection of the cantilever, and the circuit element is abutting a first end of the cantilever and is configured to exert a force on the cantilever to resist deflection of the cantilever. The circuit element is communicably connected to the optical detector by a first feedback loop. The feedback controller is communicably connected to the piezotube and configured to modulate the piezotube along the Z-axis towards and away from the probe. And the feedback controller is communicably connected to the optical detector through a second feedback loop. | 2013-11-21 |
20130312143 | SCANNING ION CONDUCTANCE MICROSCOPY USING SURFACE ROUGHNESS FOR PROBE MOVEMENT - A method for interrogating a surface using scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM), comprising the steps of:
