  • Patent number: 11970705
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of plant species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

  • Publication number: 20240135512
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For example, in one or more embodiments the disclosed systems utilize generative machine learning models to create modified digital images portraying human subjects. In particular, the disclosed systems generate modified digital images by performing infill modifications to complete a digital image or human inpainting for portions of a digital image that portrays a human. Moreover, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems perform reposing of subjects portrayed within a digital image to generate modified digital images. In addition, the disclosed systems in some embodiments perform facial expression transfer and facial expression animations to generate modified digital images or animations.
