  • Publication number: 20220275389
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to genetically altered plants having a heterologous EPR3 or EPR3-like polypeptide or a modified EPR3 or EPR3-like polypeptide and/or having a heterologous EPR3a or EPR3a-like polypeptide or a modified EPR3a or EPR3a-like polypeptide, wherein the EPR3 or EPR3-like polypeptide and/or the EPR3a or EPR3a-like polypeptide provide increased selectivity for a beneficial commensal microbe as compared to a wild-type plant under the same conditions. Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods of making such plants as well as cultivating these genetically altered plants. Additional aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods of identifying a beneficial commensal microbe capable of interacting with a plant root microbiota.

  • Patent number: 8798788
    Abstract: An automated method for dispensing pharmaceuticals particularly tablets and capsules, and other small discrete objects, includes: receiving prescription information, selecting a container, labeling the container, dispensing the tablets or capsules into the labeled container, applying a closure to the filled, labeled container, and offloading the container to a designated location. Preferably, the tablets are dispensed with high speed dispensing bins that employ forced air to agitate and singulate the tablets. The other functions within the system are typically carried out at stations designed to offer speed, flexibility and precision to the dispensing operation.
