摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase to modulate plant growth. More specifically, it relates to the use of a class II trehalose-6-phosphate synthase, comprising both a synthase and a phosphatase-like part to modulate plant growth. Preferably, the activity of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase is down-regulated to obtain an increased plant biomass yield.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants, particularly increasing seed yield, by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a Class III Trehalose Phosphate Phosphatase (TPP) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a Class III TPP polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention further concerns novel Class III TPP nucleic acid and polypeptide sequences. The invention also provides nucleic acid and polypeptide sequences, and constructs comprising the same, which are useful in the methods of the invention.
摘要:
This invention relates to a system and method for performing accurate coating operations while minimizing contamination of the coating fluid arising from contact between the fluid and the extrusion head. In one embodiment, the extrusion head is composed entirely of non-metallic material, possibly ceramic, thereby minimizing any material removal by the fluid, and any ionic or chemical reaction between the extrusion head material and the fluid. In another embodiment, a shim separating metal parts of an extrusion head is composed of a non-metallic substance to prevent galvanic potential induced corrosion between the shim and the extrusion head material and the resulting release of the products of such corrosion into the coating fluid.
