Abstract: The present invention relates generally to transcriptional control sequences. Generally, the present invention relates to transcriptional control sequences that specifically or preferentially direct expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant egg cell. The present invention is predicated, in part, on the identification of transcriptional control sequences derived from EC1 genes which, in preferred embodiments, direct preferential expression in an egg cell of at least one plant taxon.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyurethane polymer comprising as part of its polymer backbone an ?-oxy carbonyl moiety of general formula (I), where A and B represent the remainder of the polymer backbone and are the same or different, and R is an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon having three or more carbon atoms.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to transcriptional control sequences for effecting expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant. The present invention is predicated, in part, on the identification and functional characterization of transcriptional control sequences derived from genes which encode polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and homologs thereof. Among other things, the present invention has identified that transcriptional control sequences derived from the subject genes can effect specific or preferential expression of an operably connected nucleotide sequence in a reproduction-associated plant part such as a seed or anther.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for disrupting pollen development in a plant, the method comprising inhibiting the expression of an endogenous nucleic acid molecule which is, under normal conditions, detectably expressed in anther tissue of a plant during pollen formation, and which codes for a protein belonging to the MYB class of DNA binding transcription factors. Particularly, the nucleic acid molecule whose expression is blocked encodes MYB 32 or MYB 103. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules for use in the method, use of the method in producing male sterile plants and transgenic plants produced in accordance with the method.

Abstract: A method of harvesting crop material includes gathering the crop material and separating chaff material, and subjecting the chaff material to fragmentation in a cage mill to destroy unwanted seed material contained therein. Also provided is a mobile agricultural apparatus which travels with a harvesting machine during a harvesting operation to receive chaff material produced during the harvesting operation. At least one cage mill having rotors for fragmentation of the chaff material is included with the mobile apparatus, to destroy unwanted seed material contained therein. Such a cage mill includes at least a casing defining a milling zone, a rotor for performing milling, an inlet for introducing material for reduction into the milling zone, an outlet for removal of material from the milling zone, and an airflow through the milling zone to assist movement of the material through the milling zone from the inlet to the outlet.
