  • Patent number: 7456304
    Abstract: Disclosed relates to a method for improving a conversion rate of oil soluble unsaturated lipids into water-soluble lipids and, more particularly, to a method for improving a conversion rate of oil soluble unsaturated lipids into water-soluble lipids that forms an unsaturated lipid-chloride derivative having an increased reaction activity by using a pyridine-thionyl chloride as a catalyst, not directly causing a reaction between the unsaturated lipids and amino acids, or that applies an emulsifier to cause a reaction between the unsaturated lipids and amino acids so as to minimize the size of lipid particles to a nano-size of less than 50 nm, thus improving the reaction conversion rate to more than 99%.

  • Publication number: 20070250945
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel use of MADS-box genes, particularly, a novel use of MADS-box gene selected from a group consisting of a gene having a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ. ID. No 1 containing a nucleotide sequence encoding MADS-domain, a gene having a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ. ID. No 2 containing a nucleotide sequence encoding MADS-domain and a gene encoding an amino acid sequence having at least 85% homology within the region other than MADS-domain, for the regulation of fruit and seed development. MADS-box genes of the present invention can be effectively used for the regulation of parthenocarp fruit formation as well as the development of fruit and seed in a plant by controlling active gibberellin synthesis via generating a transgenic plant containing the gene of the present invention.
