This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to at least one herbicide. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to at least one herbicide, and methods of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently select the best lines for breeding strategies by avoiding sensitive lines.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for installing software in a network data processing system. An event is detected in the network data processing system indicating that a software module is to be installed in a set of data processing systems in the network data processing system. A configuration of each data processing system in the set of data processing systems is discovered, and a set of instructions is created using a knowledge base of prior installations. The set of instructions is tailored for each data processing system in the set of data processing systems based on the configuration for the each data processing system in the set of data processing systems. The set of instructions for the software module to be installed is sent to the set of data processing systems.

Compositions related to the quantitative trait locus 6 (QTL6) in maize and methods for their use are provided. The compositions are novel molecular marker loci that are genetically linked with QTL6 and which are associated with increased oil content and/or increased oleic acid content and/or an increased oleic acid/linoleic acid ratio of a plant or plant part thereof. These novel markers are characterized by the presence of at least one polymorphism relative to the corresponding marker locus from the QTL6 region of non-high-oil, non-high-oleic acid maize plants. In some embodiments, the novel marker loci comprise coding sequence for a maize DGAT1-2 polypeptide or biologically active variant thereof. The marker loci of the invention, and suitable fragments thereof, are useful in methods of the invention for manipulating oil and/or oleic acid content and/or oleic acid/lineolic acid ratio of a plant or plant part thereof, for marker-assisted selection of a plant, for example, a maize plant, or plant part thereof, having an increased oil content and/or increased oleic acid content and/or an increased oleic acid/linoleic acid ratio, and for marker-assisted breeding of the high oil and/or high oleic acid trait.
摘要:
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase in a transformed host cell.

Robust cell based assays are provided that use cells that express wild-type or modified TRPM5 nucleic acid sequences in order to identify putative taste modulators, preferably sweet, bitter and umami taste modulators. The preferred assays use HEK-293 cells that express TRPM5, optionally at least one GPCR, preferably a taste specific GPCR, and a G protein that couples therewith. These assays detect TRPM5 modulators by use of membrane potential dyes that emit fluorescence on changes in TRPM5 activity based on changes in membrane potential and these changes in fluorescence are detectable using Fluorimetric Imaging Plate Readers (FLIPR).

A one-piece manifold for use in a sprinkler valve assembly includes an intake pipe having a water inlet and a plurality of ports adapted for fluid connection to inlets of a plurality of respective sprinkler valve assemblies. An outlet is attached to the intake, such as by cross-beams, and includes a plurality of elbow segments which are non-fluidly connected to one another. Each elbow segment defines an intake port adapted to be fluidly connected to an outlet of the respective valve assemblies. An exhaust port is adapted to be fluidly connected to a sprinkler or irrigation line. Preferably, the manifolds are connectable to one another in series to accommodate any number of sprinkler lines.

A lace locker (100, 200) is disclosed having a housing (110, 210) that may include an attachment flange (112, 212), and a cam lever (120, 220) pivotably attached to the housing, such that the cam lever is movable between a locking position and a release position. The lace locker receives a lace (96) that extends between a toothed cam portion (123, 223) of the cam lever and a front wall (114, 214) of the housing, such that in the locking position the lace locker clampingly engages the lace. A lever portion (122, 222) of the lace locker includes an aperture adapted to accommodate the lace. A biasing member such as a spring (230) may optionally be included to bias the lace locker toward the locking position. A cooperative lever tab (241) and housing aperture (243) may be provided to temporarily latch the lace locker in the release position.
摘要:
The subject invention provides a system of accommodating flanged widows utilizing a novel pan flashing system in conjunction with a sill wedge, pre-formed corner flashing members and also the use of a novel clip for extending the length of the bottom window flange. The novel flange clip is preferably made from a heavy gauge galvanized material in a unique configuration, WillFlash® Flange Clips provide bottom support to the window unit, eliminating the need for shims that may also lead to damaged pan flashings in the sill area. Additionally, the Clips act as spacers to allow the pan flashing to drain, preventing bulk water form being trapped by the lower window flange. Moreover, each Clip is provided with weep holes to avoid trapping moisture/water in the interior of a u-bend formed by a pair of interconnected spaced vertical members.
