  • Publication number: 20240175042
    Abstract: This present disclosure relates to methods and composition matters for improving a plant's stress tolerance and a speedy recovery to growth from a stress comprising the process of constitutive expression of a constitutive triple response 1 (CTR1) protein kinase in the nucleus of the cell of said plant. To survive environmental extremes, plants need to rapidly acclimate to stress in order to recover once stress is removed. Here, we uncover a mechanism governing a fast growth recovery of plants following ethylene-induced growth cessation. Ethylene triggers translocation of the CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE1 (CTR1) protein kinase, a negative regulator of ethylene signaling, from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the nucleus. Nuclear-localized CTR1 inhibits the transcriptional activity of ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3) in a kinase independent manner, resulting in rapid reset of the ethylene response, thereby promoting fast growth recovery.

  • Patent number: 11992411
    Abstract: Various implementations include an anchoring device including a tubular body and at least one anchor. The at least one anchor extends along an opening between a first axial end and a second axial end of the opening. The at least one anchor includes a shape memory material. The at least one anchor is movable from a retracted position to an extended position by either increasing the temperature of the anchor above an austenite finishing temperature or decreasing the temperature of the anchor below a martensite finishing temperature. The anchor has a smaller radius of curvature in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis in the extended position than in the retracted position. When used as a coupler for medical implants, the device can be easily removed and reimplanted during re-surgery without damaging the bone of a patient by increasing or decreasing the temperature of the shape memory material anchors.
