    摘要: The invention relates to methods for increasing seed yield, increasing the total content of protein and/or lipid in seeds and reducing glucosinolate levels by reducing the expression or activity of UPL3. The invention also relates to genetically altered plants characterised by the above phenotypes and methods of producing such plants.

    摘要: The invention provides methods and materials for use in the detection of influenza viruses which utilise a nanoparticle, for example gold nanoparticle, probe comprising a plurality of glycoconjugate ligands, each glyconjugate ligand (GL) having a plurality of sialic-acid containing recognition group (Y) coupled to the nanoparticle via a multivalent core (X), wherein the multivalent core (X) is a trivalent core, whereby there are 3 recognition groups per ligand, wherein the recognition groups on the bioconjugate specifically bind to the hemagglutinin on the target influenza virus. The probes may include further ligands bound to the nanoparticle which do not bind specifically to an influenza virus—for example polyethylene glycol groups. These can modulate density of the glycoconjugate ligand on the surface of the nanoparticle. Binding of probes is detected by a plasmonic signal which is specific to the influenza virus.

    摘要: The present invention provides isolated polypeptides comprising a fragment of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or a variant, derivative or fusion thereof, which is capable of binding specifically to and lysing cells of Clostridium difficile, wherein the polypeptide exhibits greater lytic activity on cells of Clostridium difficile than the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:1. The invention further provides means for producing the same, methods for killing bacterial cells such as cells of Clostridium difficile, as well as methods for diagnosing, treating and preventing diseases and conditions associated with infection of the same.

    摘要: The invention is based on an expression enhancer sequence derived from the RNA-2 genome segment of a bipartite RNA virus, in which a target initiation site in the RNA-2 genome segment has been mutated. Deletion of appropriate start codons upstream of the main RNA2 translation initiation can greatly increase in foreign protein accumulation without the need for viral replication. Also provided are methods, vectors and systems, including the ‘hyper-translatable’ Cowpea Mosaic Virus (“CPMV-HT”) based protein expression system.
