摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the stable expression of nucleic acids in transgenic plants, controlled by a parsley-ubiquitin promoter (PCUbi4-2). Said promoter, isolated from parsley (petroselinum crispum) exhibits in almost all transgenic plants an intensely constitutive expression in almost all vegetable tissue, including the seed. It also contains, among others, a potentially heat-shock inducible element (HSE). The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors and transgenic plants and to the use of the latter for producing foodstuffs, animal feed, seeds, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for extracting constituents from organic material, comprising the step of extracting with a monophasic mixture of 50% by volume to 90% by volume of methanol and 50 to 10% by volume of water and optionally 0% by volume to 40% by volume of a further solvent or solvent mixture.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing diabetes or a predisposition thereof comprising determining at least one metabolite in a test sample of a subject suspected to suffer from diabetes or to have a predisposition therefor and comparing said at least one metabolite to a reference, whereby diabetes or a predisposition therefor is to be diagnosed. Moreover, the present invention encompasses a collection of metabolites, a data collection comprising characteristic values of metabolites and a storage medium comprising said data collection. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a system comprising means for comparing characteristic values of metabolites of a sample operatively linked to a data storage medium. Further encompassed by the present invention are diagnostic means comprising at least one metabolite and the use of said at least one metabolite for the manufacture of diagnostic means for diagnosing diabetes. Finally, the present invention pertains to a method for identifying diabetes-related metabolites.

In particular, the present invention relates to a process for the enhanced nitrogen assimilation, accumulation and/or utilization and/or for the increased total nitrogen content in a photosynthetic active organism.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the increase in yield in a plant organisms by reducing gene expression. The invention furthermore relates to nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, nucleic acid constructs, vectors, antisense molecules, antibodies, host cells, plant tissue, propagation material, harvested material and plants.
摘要:
The invention relates to a mass spectrometry method for analysing mixtures of substances using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, whereby said mixtures of substances are ionised prior to analysis. The invention is characterised in that the method comprises the following steps: a) selection of a mass/charge quotient (m/z) of an ion created by ionisation in a first analytical quadrupole (I) of the mass spectrometer; b) fragmentation of the ion selected in step (a) by applying an acceleration voltage in an additional subsequent quadrupole (II), which is filled with a collision gas and acts as a collision chamber; c) selection of a mass/charge quotient of an ion created by the fragmentation process in step (b) in an additional subsequent quadrupole (III), whereby steps (a) to (c) of the method are carried out at least once; and d) analysis of the mass/charge quotients of all the ions present in the mixture of substances as a result of the ionisation process, whereby the quadrupole (II) is filled with collision gas, but no acceleration voltage is applied during the analysis. Steps (a) to (c) and step (d) can also be carried out in reverse order.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for determining a clearance normalized amount of a metabolite disease biomarker in a sample including the steps of (a) determining the amount of the disease biomarker in at least a first type of sample of a subject suspected to suffer from the disease, (b) determining the amount of a kidney function biomarker which correlates with the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the said at least first type of sample, and (c) determining a clearance normalized amount for the metabolite disease biomarker by normalizing the amount determined for the metabolite disease biomarker in step (a) to the amount of the kidney function biomarker determined in step (b). Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for diagnosing a disease in a subject suspected to suffer therefrom and to a device for determining a clearance normalized amount of a metabolite disease biomarker in a sample.
