Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an aspartate kinase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the aspartate kinase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the aspartate kinase in a transformed host cell.
Abstract: Filaments of ethylene terephthalate polyester copolymers that contain a lithium salt of a glycollate of 5-sulfo-isophthalic acid provide improvements over commercially-available basic-dyeable polyester filaments.

Abstract: Novel N-(heterocyclicaminocarbonyl)arylsulfonamides such as 2,3-dihydro-N-[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-1H-in dole-7-sulfonamide are useful as pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicides and for the regulation of plant growth.
Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder is compacted at or near room temperature at a pressure of 8000 psi (562 kg/cm.sup.2) to 50,000 psi (3513 kg/cm.sup.2), followed by partially decompacting the resultant compacted fine powder to a molding powder having an average particle diameter of less than 100 microns.
