Abstract: In order to better aid consumers of prescription medicine and the like in efficient and rapid identification of the correct pill to be taken from among multiple containers, a novel group of articles of manufacture adapted for use with end-use prescription medicine containers at least includes a plurality of predetermined medicine purpose types corresponding to different types of medical or vitality purposes that underlying medicines are targeted to treat or address. Each article of manufacture is adapted to be coupled to an end-use, target prescription medicine container by an end-user or pharmacy function, and each article of manufacture at least includes an ideogram adapted to encourage a psychological association with, and identification of, the medicine expected to be placed in the target prescription medicine container to which the article of manufacture is adapted, and each article of manufacture is associated with a particular medicine purpose type.

Abstract: The invention is related to a method and a DNA construct for controlling transgene segregation in a sexually reproducing multicellular organism (SRMO), especially in such SRMOs which are susceptible of interbreeding with their cultured or wild-type relatives. The method and construct allows the farmer to reuse the transgenic crop without risk for escape of the transgene into the environment. The DNA construct is a recoverable block of function (RBF) system comprising at least one blocking construct (BC), and at least one means for recovering the blocked functions. The BC has a capacity of blocking at least one molecular or physiological function essential for the development and/or reproductive cycle of the SRMO. The BC is closely linked to the transgene of intereset (TGI). The blocked function is recoverable by an external treatment or intervention, which is optionally combined with one or more recovering constructs (RC).

Abstract: The invention relates generally to transgenic plants that are resistant to BYDV infection through the expression of modified forms of messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes a viral replicase. The method comprises the step of transforming a modified replicase nucleic acid molecule into a plant cell, wherein the expression of said replicase nucleic acid molecule results I the expression of a translationally-altered RNA molecule which confers to said plant resistance against infection with BYDV.

Abstract: The invention is related to a method and a complex of DNA constructs for providing an increased level of control of transgene segregation in Sexually Reproducing Multicellular Organisms (SRMOs), which are prone to out-crossing with their wild-type or cultivated relatives. The method and constructs allow the farmer to reuse the transgenic crop. without risk. The RBF system comprises one or more Transgenes of Interest (TGIs) encoding desired gene products, one or more Blocking Constructs (BC), and one or more user-controlled means for recovering the blocked functions. The BC has the capacity of blocking at least one function essential for the survival and/or reproduction of the SRMO. Preferably more than one BC flanking the TGIs are used. The BC may be located in close proximity to the TGI, preferably in an intron or flanking the TGIs. The blocked function is recoverable by user-controlled interventions preferably applicable under confined conditions.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a process based on a source-sink principle, for producing products of interest from crushed or uncrushed germinating dicot seeds comprising an expression system, which is induced or can be induced during germination. The product is either a seed derived composition comprising one or more gene products. Alternatively, it is a product of interest obtained by placing the composition in contact with a substrate, containing a substance capable of being transformed by the seed derived composition as such, dried or in down-stream processed form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plant biotechnology and specifically to a novel transformation protocol for obtaining transgenic turnip rape plants with Agrobacterium mediated transformation. In the protocol an internode section of the inflorescence carrying stem of mature turnip rape is used as explant.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method and a system for controlling the transgene segregation and spread. Escape of the gene of interest (TGI) into the environment is prevented by a repressible excision system (RES), which can be controlled by externally applicable means and comprises an excision construct (EC) having a gene encoding recombinase closely linked to the (TGI) and flanked by excision recognition sites (ERSs). The externally applicable means for controlling the repression of the expression of the gene encoding the recombinase enzyme is achieved with or without a repressor construct (RC). The action of the repressible excision system (RES) leads to excision of the transgenic insert, whenever a transgenic organism and the externally applicable means are withdrawn, which occurs if a transgenic organism escapes from the human control.

Abstract: Provided are transgenic plants with resistance to viral infection polynucleotides and methods for conferring such resistance, and methods for producing the transgenic plants. Plants transformed with a nucleotide sequence encoding a P1 protein of potato virus Y result in plants having increased resistance to infection by potato virus Y.

Abstract: Exogenous use of betaine and adjuvant improves the yield of plants. Betaine and adjuvant can be applied either together or separately and used under both normal and stress conditions. Also disclosed are combinations of betaine and adjuvant, treatment of plants exogenously with betaine and adjuvant, and products obtained from such plants.

Abstract: Exogenous use of betaine on tobacco plants improves the yield, especially tobacco plants grown under stress conditions.
