Abstract: A clothes dryer includes a hollow housing having a hinged door. A perforated drum is mounted for rotation within the housing and in alignment with the door aperture and is rotatable by an electric motor. An electrically operable oil-filled radiator is positioned within a bottom portion of the hollow housing and below the rotating drum and is connectable to a source of conventional household electrical power for generating radiant heat upon supply of the electrical power. The heat rises through the perforated rotating drum for drying wet clothes contained therein. The invention also provides a novel child safety device which is positioned within the door aperture for preventing passage of the child therethrough.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cDNA (complementary deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, transcribing a mRNA (messenger deoxyribonucleic acid), itself coding for the TOCB (terminal oxydase associated with carotenoid biosynthesis) represented by SEQ ID NO: 2, and the complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, vectors transforming cell, plant or fragment of plant, and the method for modifying the production of carotenoids in a plant.

Abstract: The GAI gene of Arabidopsis thaliana has been cloned, along with mutant and homologue gene sequences. Expression of such genes in plants affects characteristics of the plants including growth. GAI expression inhibits growth of plants, which inhibition is antagonised by gibberellin (GA). Expression of gai mutants confers a dwarf phenotype which is GA-insensitive. Manipulation of expression of GAI and gai genes in plants results in tall or dwarfed plants. Dwarf plants are useful in particular for reduction in crop losses resulting from lodging.
