Abstract: Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) isolated from the unicellular green algae, Chlorella vulgaris, are disclosed. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules that encode Chlorella protein homologs and fragments thereof. In addition, antibodies capable of binding the proteins are encompassed by the present invention. The disclosed ESTs have particular utility in isolating genes and promoters, identifying and mapping the genes involved in developmental and metabolic pathways, and determining gene function. The ESTs provide a unique molecular tool for the targeting and isolation of novel genes for plant protection and improvement. The invention also relates to methods of using the disclosed nucleic acid molecules, proteins, fragments of proteins, and antibodies, for example, for gene identification and analysis, and preparation of constructs.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant biochemistry. More specifically the invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from plant cells, in particular, nucleic acid sequences from maize and soybean associated with the carbon assimilation pathway enzymes. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins and fragments of proteins. In addition, the invention also encompasses proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding these proteins or fragments. The invention also relates to methods of using the nucleic acid molecules, proteins and fragments of proteins and antibodies, for example for genome mapping, gene identification and analysis, plant breeding, preparation of constructs for use in plant gene expression and transgenic plants.

Abstract: The invention relates to polymerizable dental compositions which contain (a) 10 to 98.999 wt.-% of at least one bi- or higher-functional ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (b) 0 to 88.999 wt.-% of at least one monofunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (c) 0 to 5 wt.-% of an accelerator, (d) 0.001 to 5 wt.-% of a redox initiator system which can trigger the radical polymerisation and (e) 0 to 88.999 wt.-% fillers, thixotropic auxiliaries, retarders and other auxiliaries (f) 1 to 30 wt.-% of a customary plasticizer and are characterized in that the redox initiator system comprises (i) a barbituric acid derivative and/or a malonyl sulfamide and (ii) an organic peroxide, selected from the group of the mono- or multifunctional carboxylic acid peroxyesters, and the constituents (a) to (f) are present in two pastes spatially separated from each other.
