Abstract: A water dispensation system includes a water dispenser including a water conduit defining a water channel between a water inlet and a water outlet. A light emitter is coupled to the water conduit proximate to the water outlet. The light emitter is configured to emit sanitizing light into water that passes out of the water outlet.

Abstract: Methods for protecting a plant from a plant pathogenic fungus are provided. A method for enhancing fungal pathogen resistance in a plant using the nucleotide sequences disclosed herein is further provided. The method comprises introducing into a plant an expression cassette comprising a promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence that encodes an antifungal polypeptide of the invention. Transformed plants, plant cells, seeds, and microorganisms comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes an antifungal polypeptide of the embodiments, or variant or fragment thereof, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods for protecting a plant from a pathogen, particularly a pathogenic fungus or nematode, are provided. A method for enhancing pathogen resistance in a plant using the nucleotide sequences disclosed herein is further provided. The method comprises introducing into a plant an expression cassette comprising a promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence that encodes an antipathogenic polypeptide of the invention. Transformed plants, plant cells, seeds, and microorganisms comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes an antipathogenic polypeptide of the embodiments, or variant or fragment thereof, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Two long-wavelength fluorescent proteins isolated from the strawberry anemone, Corynactis californica are provided. These proteins are homologous to known fluorescent proteins, but their unique properties, including yellow or red color of emission, can find use in replacing and supplementing known fluorescent proteins. In addition, because of their longer wavelength absorption and emission spectra, they can be used in energy transfer applications with the known shorter wavelength fluorescent proteins and non-proteinaceous fluorescers.

Abstract: A frozen aerated product in a container is provided. The product is under a pressure of between 4 and 18 barg, and the container is provided with a valve. The valve has a flow rate of above 6 g s?1, preferably between 10 and 30 g s?1. The flow rate of the valve being the mass flow rate at which the frozen aerated product, having a temperature of ?18° C., is discharged through the fully open valve to atmospheric pressure. Also provided are valves suitable for dispensing viscous products at high flow rate whilst retaining a low opening and actuation force.

Abstract: An ice confection containing; i) at least 2% by wt. fat; ii) at least 10% by wt. of a sugar or sugars; and iii) protein, which is present at a level of less than 2% by weight; wherein some or all of the fat and protein are present as oil bodies.

Abstract: A sterile glove donning system in which a tab, or string is intertwined with the rolled up cuff of the surgical glove to be donned. As the glove is removed from the package and the package is pulled generally in the direction of unrolling, and the tab or string unrolls the glove along the wearer's forearm. When donning is complete, the package and attached tab or string is discarded.
