Abstract: The present invention relates to Brassica sequences comprising early stage seed-specific and endosperm-preferential promoter activity. Provided are recombinant genes comprising the early stage seed-specific and endosperm-preferential promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, and cells, plants and seeds comprising the recombinant gene. The promoters can be used to alter gene expression specifically in the seeds at early developmental stages and preferentially in the endosperm and to alter biotic or abiotic stress tolerance, yield, seed quality or seed properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Brassica sequences comprising seed- and funiculus-preferential promoter activity. Provided are recombinant genes comprising the seed- and funiculus-preferential promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, and cells, plants and seeds comprising the recombinant gene. The promoters can be used to alter gene expression preferentially in the seeds and in the funiculus and to alter biotic or abiotic stress tolerance, yield, seed quality or seed properties.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program storage device for keeping track of writes in progress on multiple controllers during resynchronization of RAID stripes on failover is disclosed. Quicker and more efficient RAID 5 resynchronization is provided by mirroring writes that are in progress to alternate controller. When the controller handling the writes fails, the writes in progress are the only blocks that need to be resynchronized. Thus, consistent parity may be generated without resynchronizing the entire RAID.
