Abstract: This invention concerns a Small Hive Beetle control harbourage, that is a passive trap that will naturally attract the beetles to enter it. The harbourage comprises an insecticide treated corrugated cardboard sheet. A shell around the cardboard sheet to prevent access to the sheet. At least one opening in the shell, the opening being sized to allow entry to Small Hive Beetles but to prevent entry by bees, and the opening being arranged relative to the cardboard sheet to allow beetles entering the shell to enter the corrugations in the cardboard.

Abstract: The subject invention relates to plants and the starch produced by plants. In particular, the invention relates to processes for the modification of a plant so that the starch produced by the plant comprises amylopectin of an altered structure and/or the starch has an altered gelatinization temperature. The processes principally comprise engineering gene involved in amylopectin synthesis. In a preferred embodiment the starch synthase IIa gene is modified. Also disclosed are processes for altering genes to provide plant which produce starch having a desired gelatinization temperature, and methods of identifying the changes that can be made in genes to achieve a desired gelatinization temperature in the starch produced by a plant comprising such genes. Further disclosed are modified plants and the starch products of the plants.
