  • Publication number: 20140020135
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of increasing nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) in a transgenic plant comprising the introduction of a nucleic acid encoding a dep1 polypeptide into a plant to produce a transgenic plant that expresses the nucleic acid to produce the dep1 polypeptide, thereby resulting in an increased NUE as compared with a control plant. Also provided are methods of increasing NUE in a plant comprising reducing the amount and/or activity of a DEP1 polypeptide.

  • Patent number: 8606757
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles for receiving, by a computing device, execution results of a plurality of query language expressions are described herein. In various embodiments, the plurality of query language expressions may be concurrently executed, and the receiving may be contemporaneous with production of the execution results. Also, in various embodiments, the computing device may store a result item of the execution results for at least a first of the query language expressions in a memory block allocated exclusively for the first of the query language expressions while the first of the query language expressions is being executed, or in a result handle associated with the first of the query language expressions.
