摘要:
Isolated mogroside and mogrol biosynthetic pathway enzyme polypeptides useful in mogroside biosynthesis are provided. Mogroside biosynthetic pathway enzymes of the invention include squalene epoxidase (SE), epoxy hydratase (EH), cytochrome p450 (Cyp), cucurbitadienol synthase (CDS) and udp-glucosyl-transferase (UGT), Also provided are methods of producing a mogroside using the isolated mogroside and mogrol biosynthetic enzyme polypeptides, the methods comprising contacting a mogrol and/or a glycosylated mogrol (mogroside) with at least one UDP glucose glucosyl transferase (UGT) enzyme polypeptide of the invention catalyzing glucosylation of the mogrol and/or the glucosylated mogrol to produce a mogroside with an additional glucosyl moietie(s), thereby producing the mogroside. Alternatively or additionally provided is a method of synthesizing a mogrol, the method comprising contacting a mogrol precursor substrate with one or more mogrol biosynthetic pathway enzyme polypeptides as described herein catalyzing mogrol synthesis from the mogrol precursor substrate, thereby synthesizing the mogrol.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for detecting a dissolved gaseous impurity in an aqueous environment, comprises a tube for isolating liquid surface, or a sampler for obtaining a liquid sample from the aqueous environment, a vacuum pump located to exert a vacuum, leaving the surface to evaporate into the vacuum; and a holding compartment for holding evaporated gas which may then be analyzed using electrochemical or spectroscopic methods. The apparatus is useful for detecting levels of ammonia in fish ponds or indeed any impurity that may be dissolved in the water.
摘要:
A method of treating a malignant disease in a subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a first liquid chromatography fraction of a cannabis extract comprising at least 75% tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), and a therapeutically effective amount of a second liquid chromatography fraction of a cannabis extract comprising at least 75% cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), wherein the first liquid chromatography fraction comprises cannabis derived active ingredients other than the THCA, and the second liquid chromatography fraction comprises cannabis derived active ingredients other than the CBGA, thereby treating the malignant disease in the subject.
摘要:
A method for producing a calibrated radiometric image by un calibrated or partly calibrated thermal imaging device, the method comprising a steps of capturing first and second images on different sets of capturing conditions, obtaining motion matrix characterizing difference between said sets of capturing conditions, obtaining point spread function matrices characterizing a blur condition of said first and second images and obtaining system gain, and calculating a drift by inverting said system gain, motion and point spread function matrices; and calculating a calibrated image by inverting said system gain, motion, point spread function matrices and said first and second images.
摘要:
The invention relates to transgenic plants exhibiting increased cell wall content. In one embodiment, transgenic plants engineered to over-express fructokinase (FRK) or both FRK and sucrose synthase (SuSy) are provided. The FRK+SuSy double-transgenic plants of the invention consistently exhibit enhanced cell wall polymer deposition.
摘要:
An insect blowing and suction system including at least two tangential blowers, each creating an air stream at a suitable angle relative to the ground but in opposite directions to each other. The two air streams combine and are diverted upward, thereby lifting insects upward. The upward air velocity is increased by at least one upper axial blower that sucks the air from the housing.
摘要:
Methods of in vitro clonal propagation and regeneration in Cannabis are provided. Also provided is the use of such methods in improvements of cannabis cultivars such as via breeding.
摘要:
A system for monitoring individual food intake of a livestock animal includes a calibration system configured to measure weight or volume of food intake of an animal over a pre-defined period of time and to calibrate a mathematical model for the animal based on the measure, a tracking system configured track animal eating behavior at times other than the pre-defined period of time and a computing system. The pre-defined period of time is less than three weeks. The mathematical model relates eating behavior of the animal and defined physiological parameters of the animal with food intake. The computing system determines food intake of the animal over a lactation period based on the mathematical model for the animal as calibrated and the eating behavior at the times other than the pre-defined period of time.
