Abstract: Various systems and methods for providing a proximity measurement system are provided herein. A proximity measurement system includes: a user tracking service to calculate a travel area of a user, the travel area representing an area that the user has traveled within during a period of time, a proximity service to: identify a reminder task created by the user, the reminder task having an associated point of interest; identify a plurality of geographical locations of the point of interest; and calculate an effective proximity measure based on the travel area of the user and the plurality of geographical locations; and a notification service to transmit a notification to the user when the user is within the effective proximity measure of any one of the plurality of geographical locations.

Abstract: Provided composition and methods for controlling, treating or preventing a pathogenic infection in a plant with a phenylalanine solution. The plant may be at a post-harvest and/or at a pre-harvest stage.

Abstract: The invention includes means and methods for providing an AFT gene encoding a protein characterized by at least 80% identity with the amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 9 (LA1996; SEQ ID NO:37) having been genetically introgressed into cultivated tomato plants or elite lines. The AFT gene confers higher concentrations of flavonoids to the plants compared with prior art cultivated plants that were not introgressed with the gene. An AFT S. chilense genotype introgressively-derived tomato plant is disclosed. Transgenic plants expressing metabolites of the flavonoid pathway, especially anthocyanin or flavonols, in plants, plant parts or seeds thereof, carrying particular DNA sequences recombinable into a plurality of one or more transformation and/or expression vectors, useful for transformation and/or expression in plants are disclosed. Methods of obtaining same are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel method for growing plants, including shade plants and sun plants. According to the invented method, plants are provided with light that includes indirect light and direct light, the ratio therebetween is greater than in natural light, at least in the PAR region. Such light may be provided to the plants by growing them under suitable shade nets. Such nets are typically translucent.
