Abstract: The present invention provides a polynucleotide which enables the modulation of the seed vigour, and in particular enhances the seed vigour, and more particularly enables the modification of the speed of germination. A plant seed comprising the said polynucleotide is also provided. A method of producing the plant seed, method for improving the germination and vigour of plant seed, transgenic plant and the use of the polynucleotide of the invention for producing plants growing seeds with improved germination and vigour characteristics are also provided. The invention particularly concerns Brassica, more particularly Brassica oleracea.

Abstract: A cap (10) configured to interact with a spout (12), said cap (10) comprising: a proximal section (14), a distal section (16), a sidewall section (18) in between said proximal (14) and distal section (16); at least two rotating means (20) attached to said sidewall (18) wherein said rotating means (20) configured to be attached to a first tamper proof indicator; at least one cutting element (22) configured in the proximal section (14) of said cap (10) arranged to remove a second tamper proof indicator (24) provided in said spout (12); wherein said cap (10) is arranged such that said first tamper proof indicator is arranged to break or open before said second tamper proof indicator (24) of said spout (12) is removed when said cap (10) is being unscrewed from said spout (12).

Abstract: An automatic floor cleaner uses a body member that has a change-of-direction driving mechanism such that when the body member encounters an impediment, the direction of travel of the body member is altered. An extension extends outwardly from the body member and has a cleaning implement removably secured thereto, the cleaning implement running along the ground and cleaning same during operation of the body member.
