Abstract: The present invention provides gene targets, constructs and methods for the genetic control of plant disease caused by multiple plant viruses. The present invention relates to achieving a plant protective effect through the identification of target coding sequences and the use of recombinant DNA technologies for post-transcriptionally repressing or inhibiting expression of the target coding sequences of plant-parasitic viruses. Protein-expression based approaches may also be utilized to augment phenotype resistance. Thus, transcription of a single transgenic event comprising one or more plant expression cassettes can allow for broad spectrum resistance of a plant to multiple plant viral strains and species among the geminiviruses, tospoviruses, and potexviruses.

Abstract: Disclosed are hydrogels wherein a polymer matrix is modified to contain a bifunctional poly(alkylene glycol) molecule covalently bonded to the polymer matrix. The hydrogels can be cross-linked using, for example, glutaraldehyde. The hydrogels may also be crosslinked via an interpenetrating network of a photopolymerizable acrylates. The hydrogels may also be modified to have pharmacologically-active agents covalently bonded to the poly(alkylene glycol) molecules or entrained within the hydrogel. Living cells may also be entrained within the hydrogels.

Abstract: A computer controlled system and method of using the system for control of shipping a quantity of product either domestically or internationally. The system comprises a number of user input stations for entering a shipping request. Product release information stored in the computer is added to the request which is transmitted t a product storage unit, a printer, and an exit control station. The product storage unit selects the product requested. The printer prints a product release form which can include a customs declaration form and/or a digital authentication stamp if desired. The product is prepared for shipping and the product release form is attached. The product and the product release form is checked at the exit control station. The product is then shipped or corrective action is taken.
