Abstract: The present invention refers to a method of preparation and packaging of a fresh food product with respiratory capacity for its conservation and later steam cooking in a microwave oven characterised in that the method comprises washing of the food product injecting ozone in the washing water, introduction of the washed food product in a container, thermosealing of the container containing the product with a transparent material provided with one or more vents for the escape of the steam, and later application of a vacuum with the aim of conditioning the container

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods for inhibiting angiogenesis and treating tumors and cancer by targeting tropomyosin (Tpm) expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and/or tumor cells, to Tpm polypeptides and peptides, as well as variants and derivatives thereof that bind inhibitors of angiogenesis, and to anti-Tpm antibodies that block or stimulate angiogenesis. Cyclic peptides that bind to the D5 subunit of HKa and inhibit angiogenesis are also included. Method for screening test compounds as candidate antiangiogenic molecule that binds to Tpm are disclosed, as are affinity ligands comprising the proteins, peptides, variants and derivatives of the invention.

Abstract: The procedure is based on the use, as vegetable starting material for the transformation, of the first shoots from the graft of buds of adult trees onto stock, the genetic transformation of explants from the adult shoots by mean of co cultivation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens in mother plaques, and the obtaining of complete adult woody plants by means of in vitro micrografting of the transgenic buds, apices or shoots, regenerated by means of the explants, by means of in vitro micrograft onto stock cultivated in vitro.This procedure makes it possible to avoid the juvenile period and the high heterozygosis which affects most woody species, blossoming and fruiting of the transgenic plants are brought forward, and it permits the direct genetic transformation of commercially interesting varieties.It has argicultural applications.
