Abstract: The invention relates to a genetically modified cereal plant having a recombinant DNA construct comprising a gene encoding a polypeptide having aspartyl protease activity (EC 3.4.23.12) whose expression, particularly in grain, confers enhanced fungal disease resistance as compared to a parent cereal plant from which said genetically modified cereal plant was derived. The invention further relates to a method for producing a genetically modified cereal plant of the invention comprising transforming one or more cells of a parent cereal plant with the recombinant DNA construct; as well as a method for manufacturing the genetically modified grain for production of a crop of genetically modified cereal plants which exhibit increased resistance to a fungal disease due to expression of the recombinant DNA construct.

Abstract: The present invention provides transgenic carrot plants comprising at least one heterologous DNA sequence encoding: (a) a promoter of a transcription factor gene; or (b) a transcription factor geneoperably linked to a promoter; wherein the heterologous DNA sequence increases the expression of at least one gene encoding a sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT). The transcription factor gene is preferably DcMYB90 (SEQ ID NO:1) or DcEGL1 (SEQ ID NO:2) or a sequence having at least 80% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or at least 80% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the sequence encodes a transcription factor protein increasing the expression of sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT) having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.

Abstract: A process based on ion exchange with separated beds is disclosed for the deionization of substances that are not stable in the presence of strongly acidic cation exchangers, wherein the solution to be deionized is contacted with a first bed consisting of a basic anion exchanger in the form of hydrogen carbonate and subsequently with a second bed, connected in series, consisting of a weakly acidic cation exchanger in hydrogen form.
