Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for producing transgenic banana plants that exhibit increased resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4), and the banana plants and bananas so produced.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for producing transgenic plants and other organisms that exhibit increased production of mogroside compounds, in particular mogroside V, and the mogroside compounds, plants and plant parts so produced.

Abstract: Polymer blends are described that are formed from a transient polymer material, a polymer comprising an acrylonitrile group (e.g., ABS, SAN), and/or one or more polyester polymers. For blends in which two or more polyester polymers are blended with a transient polymer material, at least two of the polyester polymers are immiscible with one another, and one of the polyester polymers has a glass transition temperature less than or equal to 0° C. The polymer blends herein can decompose into liquid phase decomposition products upon exposure to a transience reaction trigger in less than 8 hours even at temperatures of less than ?20° C.
