  • Patent number: 7498480
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a monopartite RNA viral vector comprising modified tobravirus RNA-1 comprising an inserted foreign RNA sequence. This invention is also directed to a bipartite RNA viral vector derived from a tobravirus, wherein the vector comprises one or more foreign RNA sequences. The invention is directed to a method of silencing one or more endogenous plant host genes and a method of simultaneously silencing a plant host gene and expressing a foreign gene in a plant host. Such methods comprise infecting a plant host with a bipartite vector comprising modified tobravirus RNA-1 and RNA-2. The invention is further directed to a method of compiling a plant functional gene profile, a method of changing the phenotype or biochemistry of a plant host, and a method of determining the presence of a trait in a plant host, using a monopartite or bipartite viral vector derived from a tobravirus.

  • Patent number: 4832070
    Abstract: The invention provides a flame failure device in which the reservoir exposed to the flame is charged with air and is communicated via a capillary tube to displace a membrane and hold the main valve in an open position, and the valve is closed by a spring when pressure falls as a result of the flame being extinguished. The system is re-charged via a one-way valve when pressure in the system falls below ambient pressure.
