  • Patent number: 12102048
    Abstract: The present invention relates to non-transgenic and transgenic plants, preferably crop plants, having biological activity of a haploid inducer and comprising a polynucleotide which comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a centromer histone H3 (CENH3) protein, wherein the polynucleotide comprises at least one mutation causing an alteration of the amino acid sequence of the CENH3 protein, and to a part of the part. Further, the invention provides methods of generating the inducer plants, methods of generating haploid and double haploid plants using the inducer plants as well as methods of facilitating cytoplasm exchange.

  • Patent number: 10693129
    Abstract: A process for producing a silicon-SiC composite powder is provided. A gas stream I containing SiH4, Si2H6 and/or Si3H8 and at least one hydrocarbon of ethene and acetylene and a coaxial gas stream II containing hydrogen are fed into a hot wall reactor. The gas stream II forms the jacket stream with respect to the gas stream I. At least the gas stream I is reacted at a temperature of 900° C. to 1100° C. and subsequently at the outlet of the hot wall reactor the reaction mixture is cooled or allowed to cool and the pulverulent reaction product is separated from the gaseous materials.
