Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) or formula (II) have anti-inflammatory activity and comprise a new class of NSAIDs. The compounds are useful for treating inflammatory diseases or disorders. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, as well as methods of treating inflammatory diseases or disorders using compounds of formula (III) or formula (IV).

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel transformation method for plants of the genus Allium. Plants transformed by the method are also provided. The method preferably involves an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation, involving the transformation of immature embryos as the explant source and wherein the method is carried out without passage through the callus phase.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for storing aquatic animals comprises a tank (3) for receipt of the aquatic animals, and an arrangement (9) to create a foam environment (13) in the interior of the tank (3) such that at least a majority of the aquatic animals when stored in the tank (3) are submerged in foam. The arrangement to create a foam environment may be configured to deliver a synthetic foam to the interior of the tank (3), or may be configured to generate the foam, preferably from the natural proteins of the aquatic animals. A fluid recirculation arrangement may recirculate fluid to generate the foam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel transformation method for plants of the genus Allium, in particular to onion plants. Plants transformed by the method are also provided. The method preferably involves an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation, more preferably involving immature embryos as the explant source and employing a binary vector.

Abstract: A process of producing starch from plant material is provided which involves adding extraneous protein to the plant material. This produces a network of protein. The starch is isolated from the protein network/plant material mixture.

Abstract: Methods for sedating, anaesthetising and/or euthanising aquatic organisms, wherein the organism is contacted with methyl salicylate, ethyl salicylate or both, usually in solution. Active compositions for use in such methods are also provided, including compositions containing one or both of methyl salicylate and ethyl salicylate in combination with one or both of eugenol and iso-eugenol.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for biasing a crop plant which is heterozygous for a transgene towards the production of seeds which carry the transgene comprising the step of contacting the crop plant containing a gene construct comprising the transgene coding for resistance to a specific phytotoxin with the specific phytotoxin one or more times during the life of the crop plant.The method achieves this through selective inhibition of phytotoxin-sensitive plant ovules, embryos and pollen. The method has particular application to the production of open pollinated and synthetic varieties of crop plants, such as alfalfa synthetic varieties.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia named ‘Bonfire’ comprised of hairs on both the upper and lower leaf surface; bright orange-red flower color, RHS 40A; and red margin on serrated leaf edge.
