Abstract: A new and distinct variety of mandarin tree named ‘12C009’, particularly selected for non-acidic flavour profiles and distinguished by the smooth skin texture, cleanness of peeling and high Brix levels, is disclosed.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of mandarin tree named ‘11C017R’, particularly selected for non-acidic flavour profiles and distinguished by the smooth skin texture, cleanness of peeling and high Brix levels, is disclosed.

Abstract: A device for detecting volatile compounds. The device includes a substrate and a matrix disposed on the substrate. The matrix includes a carboxyl-rich binder, a clay, and a pH-sensitive indicator dye admixed with the binder and the clay. The pH-sensitive indicator dye is dimensioned and configured to change color in response to contact with a pre-determined concentration of a volatile compound.

Abstract: This invention relates to a flavonoid composition that includes eriocitrin. The flavonoid may be included in a complex with other bioflavonoids. The composition may also include neoeriocitrin. This invention also relates to methods of using the composition, including for reducing IL-6 or MCP-1 treating inflammation, and treating symptoms of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a virus, called Cedar Virus, and its methods of use.

Abstract: A system for and methods of analyzing a test sample through the use of a rotary apparatus that includes a microfluidic paper-based apparatus (mPAD). The apparatus includes two or more layers that are rotatable with respect to one another. A middle layer may comprise a microfluidic apparatus having one or more reagent channels. Each of the reagent channels may include reagent dried on the surface of the channel, and, together with an adsorption pad, may be aligned vertically with a sample chamber. Male and female engagement surfaces on each of the middle layer, the top layer, and the bottom layer interlock to secure each layers in vertical alignment so that fluid flows through the apparatus to contact a test sample with a reagent and facilitate detection of a target analyte in the test sample in the sample chamber.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a novel virus, called Cedar Virus, and its methods of use.

Abstract: The present disclosure teaches generally in the field of vaccination and disease control in cattle and bovine animals. A recombinant bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) vaccine vector is provided for efficient control of one or more bovine pathogens such as those associated with bovine respiratory disease complex, such as bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and which ameliorates disease conditions caused thereby. Protocols for the management of confined or herded bovine animals are also enabled herein.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing high quality olive leaf powders using infrared dry blanching, drying, and milling. Also provided are powders prepared by the methods of the invention. The powders can be included in various food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and antimicrobial compositions.

Abstract: This invention relates to food processing and, in particular, blanching and dehydration of foods. Conventional blanching and dehydration requires use of steam and forced hot air. This invention is the first to effectively use infrared radiation energy to perform simultaneous blanching and dehydration of fruits and vegetables. Since this technology does not involve the addition of steam or water in the process of blanching, it has been named “infrared dry-blanching” (IDB) technology. IDB is intended to be a replacement for current steam, water and/or microwave blanching methods. It can be used to produce many kinds of value-added dried, refrigerated, frozen and dehydrofrozen foods such as fruit and vegetable products.

Abstract: Provided are compositions for treatment of cancers, including breast cancer, comprising at least one novel daidzein analog, as well as methods of using the same for preventing or treating cancer or tumor growth.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to plants having increased resistance to an imidazolinone herbicide. More particularly, the present invention includes wheat plants and triticale plants containing at least one IMI nucleic acid such as an imidazolinone resistant Brookton BR-8 or Krichauff K-42 cultivar. The present invention also includes seeds produced by these wheat plants and triticale plants and methods of controlling weeds in the vicinity of these wheat plants.

Abstract: ‘ANABP 01’ is a new and distinct apple variety (Malus domestica Borkh.) notable for its attractive dark purple red skin color, excellent flavor and texture, attractive size and shape, and consistent cropping characteristics.

Abstract: Software, databases, computer models, and a series of monitoring devices are provided that are used collectively to optimize farming operations for the purpose of efficiently utilizing the water right associated with the land while recognizing the potential to transfer a proportional amount of the water right in a lease or sale arrangement to other water users. The contemplated system encourages water conservation by allowing those owning water rights to determine the feasibility of changed farming practices intended to maximize net returns and profitability of their overall farming operations.

Abstract: A new and distinctive variety of a Malus domestica apple tree, named ‘RS103-110’ that is distinguished by its medium vigor tree, fruit that matures immediately after ‘Royal Gala’, fruit that is small to medium in size with an obloid to globose shape and a foreground stripe that is dark red in color over a background that is yellow-green in color, fruit stem (pedicel) that can be very short and thick at the point of attachment to the spur, and resistance to apple scab, is disclosed.
