  • Integrated herd management system utilizing isolated populations of X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa
    Publication number: 20020096123
    Abstract: Animal management systems that utilizes artificial insemination (27) samples of isolated X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations of spermatozoa to inseminate female animals (17) an embodiment of which can provide an alternative to traditional harvesting or marketing (20) of non-replacement heifers.

  • 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase gene from Rosa to control ethylene levels in roses
    Publication number: 20020083484
    Abstract: A gene which encodes an ACC synthase is identified for the rose plants, specifically Rosa (cardinal red). This gene is shown as modified to achieve a transgenic plant which resists wilting and the like as a result of reduced ethylene production. This alteration is reproduced by the transformed plant. Isolation of high quality mRNA is achieved through use and adaptation of a 2-butoxyethanol precipitation technique using large amount of initial tissue in order to achieve critical mass for precipitation.
