Abstract: Various embodiments include a container for hydroponically growing plants. The container has a bottom surface and an open top surface and a fluid reservoir having at least a portion of the volume between the bottom surface and the top surface. A pump is positioned at a bottom portion of the fluid reservoir. A length of tubing connects the pump to a valve that is further connected to additional tubing. A plurality of jets are connected to the additional tubing to spray fluid internal to the fluid reservoir. Further, there is a support structure, configured to fit into the open top surface, that has support components for interconnecting a plurality of openings and supporting the plurality of jets. Finally, a cover plate is configured to fit over the support structure in the open top surface.

Abstract: The invention provides glyphosate-tolerant transgenic turfgrass plants, plant material, and propagules that have a specific transformation event. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the event.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plant growing system having (a) plant life; (b) a super amount of a controlled-release fertilizer to provide season-long performance; and (c) growing media. The planting growing system may also include a moisture control agent or a plant protection agent. Despite the high EC values of the growing system, the combination of materials that make up the growing system nevertheless produces superior performing plants with darker green, healthier-looking leaves; superior growth, fill and spread; more abundant production of flowers and fruits; and a more developed, sustaining root system. Moreover, these plants are far less susceptible to the effects of pests such as fungi (e.g., Fusarium and Rhizoctonia), pythium, caterpillars, thrips, whiteflies, and other pests.

Abstract: The invention provides glyphosate tolerant transgenic turfgrass plants, plant material, and seeds that have a specific transformation event. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the event. The invention also provides sequences for a variant EPSPS gene and a GAO2X gene, cassettes, and plants comprising the variant EPSPS gene and a GAO2X gene.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bentgrass ASR-368 plant and seed. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the bentgrass ASR-368 based on a DNA sequence and the use of this DNA sequence as a molecular marker in a DNA detection method.

Abstract: A radiation resistant joint between an edge of a movable member and a corresponding edge of a fixed member. The joint comprises at least two bowed conductive contact fingers fixed at one end to one of the members with one finger superimposed over the other finger. The free end of the upper finger engages the bow portion of the lower finger. Means are provided for moving the lower finger and consequently the upper finger away from the member with which they are attached such that the bow portions of each finger engage a conductive plate on the other member to make a radiation resistant seal therewith.
