摘要:
The invention relates to the genetic manipulation of plants, particularly to the expression of hemoglobin genes in transformed plants. Nucleotide sequences for the hemoglobin genes and methods for their use are provided. The sequences find use in enhancing seed germination, seedling growth, and overall growth and metabolism of the plant.
摘要:
Transgenic oilseeds having increased total fatty acid content of at least 10% and altered fatty acid profiles when compared to the total fatty acid content of null segregant oilseeds are described. Novel DGAT genes are used to achieve the increase in seed storage lipids.
摘要:
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/linoleic 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:
A method and system for encoding a video frame. The method includes grouping macroblocks of a video frame into a plurality of groups and determining a first encoding rate for at least one of the plurality of groups based on at least one quantization parameter value associated with the group. The method further includes determining a distortion value associated with the first encoding rate and determining a distortion reduction density value based on the distortion value and the first encoding rate. The method further includes accessing a rate budget associated with the frame and adjusting simultaneously a plurality of quantization parameter values associated with one or more of the plurality of groups.
摘要:
Methods and systems for overcoming the apparent loss of a data packet are described. Encoded second data can be accessed, where the second data is predictively encoded with reference to encoded first data. A data packet that includes at least a portion of the first encoded data can be sent to a downstream device. If the data packet was not properly received by the downstream device, the encoded second data can be adapted to make it decodable independent of the encoded first data.
摘要:
Methods and systems for servicing content for delivery to a client device are described. An item of content is identified during a session with the client device. A type of service to be performed on the item of content is identified. A provider is selected from a plurality of providers capable of performing the service. The session is transferred to the selected provider, which performs the service on the item of content.
摘要:
A method and system for reducing the resolution of media data. Input data at a first resolution are received from a source. The input data are compressed. The input data can be downsampled to generate compressed downsampled data at a reduced resolution. The compressed downsampled data can be used to generate a frame at the reduced resolution. When the frame is needed as a reference for another frame, the compressed downsampled data can be decoded to generate decompressed downsampled data at the reduced resolution. The decompressed downsampled data can be upsampled to generate decompressed data at a resolution corresponding to the first resolution. Thus, a larger amount of data can be processed while the data are compressed. As such, data processing operations such as transcoding can be accomplished quickly and effectively while saving computing resources.
摘要:

摘要:
Methods are provided for altering grain characteristics by introducing into plants, isolated nucleic acid molecules that can be used to produce transgenic plants characterized by altered number, type, or configuration of aleurone cells within the seed. Also provided are isolated nucleic acids that encode maize superal proteins, vectors capable of expressing such nucleic acid molecules, host cells containing such vectors, and polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acids.
