  • Publication number: 20220025471
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns methods and compositions for identifying cotton plants that have a reniform nematode resistance trait. Some embodiments concern molecular markers to identify, select, and/or construct reniform nematode resistant plants and germplasm, or to identify and counter-select relatively susceptible plants. This disclosure also concerns cotton plants comprising a reniform nematode resistance trait that are generated by methods utilizing at least one marker described herein.

  • Patent number: 4545059
    Abstract: There is disclosed an antenna and coupling system for use in frequency hopping communication systems. The system includes a dual antenna configuration wherein the antennas are coupled in parallel to a tunable broadband coupler which provides a VSWR which is nominally less than 2:1 over the full hopping bandwidth of the system. The antenna and coupling system are so constructed that the coupler is operated over a plurality of passbands defining a broadband frequency range and each passband is of sufficient width such that several hopping band center frequencies can fall within a given passband. The passbands also overlap to permit continuous frequency coverage over the frequency range of the system.
