  • INTRUSIVE SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20090094697
    Abstract: Landing pages associated with advertisements are partitioned into training landing pages and testing landing pages. Iterative training and testing of a classification mode on intrusion features of the partitioned landing pages is conducted until the occurrence of a cessation event. Feature weights are derived from the iterative training and testing, and are associated with the intrusion features. The associated feature weights and intrusion features can be used to classify other landing pages.

  • INTRUSIVE SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20090094175
    Abstract: Intrusion features of a landing page associated with sponsored content are identified. A feature score for the landing page based on the identified intrusion features is generated, and if the feature score for the landing page exceeds a feature threshold, the landing page is classified as a candidate landing page. A sponsor account associated with the candidate landing page can be suspended, or sponsored content associated with the candidate landing page can be suspended.

  • Cyst Nematode Resistant Transgenic Plants
    Publication number: 20090012029
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for providing cyst nematode resistance are provided. One aspect provides transgenic plants or cells comprising an inhibitory nucleic acid specific for one or more cyst nematode esophageal gland cell polypeptides. Other aspects provide transgenic plants or cells resistant to at least two different cyst nematode species.

  • Endoglucanase gene promoter upregulated by nematodes
    Patent number: 6906241
    Abstract: The present invention provides a nucleic acid construct comprising a cyst and root knot nematode responsive promoter, preferably the Nicotiana Ntcel7 promoter or promoters that hybridize thereto, operatively associated with a heterologous nucleic acid segment that encodes a product disruptive of nematode attack. Plants and plant cells using the same and methods of use thereof are also disclosed.

  • Chemoreceptors in plant parasitic nematodes
    Publication number: 20030175767
    Abstract: Isolated DNA encoding a nematode guanylyl cyclase chemoreceptor is disclosed. Preferably, the encoded nematode guanylyl cyclase chemoreceptor is selected from the group consisting of order Tylenchida and order Aphelenchida chemoreceptors. Also disclosed are vectors and cells containing the DNA, the encoded proteins, oligonucleotides that bind thereto, and methods of using the same.
