Abstract: The present invention provides a transgenic soybean event MON87701, and cells, seeds, and plants comprising DNA diagnostic for the soybean event. The invention also provides compositions comprising nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for said soybean event in a biological sample, probes and primers for use in detecting nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for the presence of said soybean event in a biological sample, and methods for detecting the presence of said soybean event nucleotide sequences in a biological sample. The invention further provides methods of growing the seeds of such soybean event into soybean plants, and methods of breeding to produce soybean plants comprising DNA diagnostic for the soybean event.

Abstract: A projectile (10) comprises a cylindrical body (12) with a first (leading) end (14) and a second trailing axially opposed end (16). An internal cavity (18) is formed between the ends (14 and 16) and holds a volume of propellant material (22). The first end (14) is closed by a nose (20) that is fixed to the body (12). The end (14) is sealed with a base seal (26) that seats a primer (24) for igniting the propellant (22). The primer (24) is located inboard of the second end (16) and the base seal (26) to reduce the likelihood of accidental activation. Seals (30) are formed about the body (12) for maintaining gas pressure of deflagrating propellant. The seals (30) may be formed integrally with the body (12) or separately from the body (12) and seated in respective grooves (40) formed circumferentially about the body (12).

Abstract: An isolated substantially pure pseudomonas culture, exemplified by pseudomonas syringae MSU 16H (ATCC No. 67028), produces the substantially pure peptide pseudomycin which has broad spectrum anti-fungal characteristics.

Abstract: Peptide antimycotics, termed pseudomycins, display broad spectrum antibiotic activity, and in particular are highly effective, non-toxic antibiotics against fungal pathogens of human and animal disease. The peptide antimycotics (pseudomycins) may be used in the treatment of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Also disclosed is a method of purification and isolation, including characterization, of the pseudomycins.
