Publication number: 20090265813Abstract: Transcription factor polynucleotides and polypeptides incorporated into expression vectors have been introduced into plants and were ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these expression vectors have been shown to be more resistant to disease (in some cases, to more than one pathogen), or more tolerant to an abiotic stress (in some cases, to more than one abiotic stress). The abiotic stress may include salt, hyperosmotic stress, heat, cold, drought, or low nitrogen conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: Mendel Biotechnology , Inc.Inventors: Neal I. Gutterson, Oliver J. Ratcliffe, T. Lynne Reuber, Karen S. Century, Katherine Krolikowski, Jennifer Costa, Robert A. Creelman, Frederick D. Hempel, Roderick W. Kumimoto, Emily L. Queen, Peter P.

Patent number: 7547652Abstract: The invention relates to vitreous compositions, in particular of the vitroceramic type, transparent to infrared, production and uses thereof. Said compositions comprise in mol. %: Ge 5-40, Ga<1, S+Se 40-85, Sb+As 4-40, MX 2-25, Ln 0-6, adjuncts 0-30, where M=at least one alkaline metal, selected from Rb, Cs, Na, K and Zn, X=at least one atom of chlorine, bromine or iodine, Ln=at least one rare earth and adjunct=at least one additive comprising at least one metal and/or at least one metal salt with the sum of all molar percentages of the components present in said composition being 100.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2004Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignees: Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique, Universite Rennes 1Inventors: Xianghua Zhang, Jacques Lucas, Hongli Ma, Jean-Luc Adam

Publication number: 20090151015Abstract: Disease-inducible promoter sequences have been identified that may be used to produce transgenic plants that are both more resistant to disease than control plants, and are wild-type or nearly wild type in appearance. Any of these disease-inducible promoters may be incorporated into expression vectors that each comprise a defense response protein operably linked to the promoter. The expression vectors can be introduced into plants and the defense response protein then ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these expression vectors have been shown to be more resistant to disease, in some cases, to more than one type of pathogen, and yet are similar to wild type plants in their morphology and development.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Applicant: MENDEL BIOTECHNOLOGY, INCInventors: Luc Adam, T.
