  • Publication number: 20070157341
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding floral development proteins, more specifically FT, TFL or Ap3 homologs. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant DNA construct encoding all or a portion of the floral development proteins, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the FT, TFL or Ap3 homologs in a transformed host cell.

  • Publication number: 20060141515
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a proteinase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the proteinase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the proteinase in a transformed host cell.

  • Publication number: 20060008820
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKI). The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a substantial portion of the CDKI, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the CDKI in a transformed host cell.

  • Publication number: 20050144665
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying a genetically modified plant cell comprising a recombinase-mediated exchange between a first nucleotide sequence and a second nucleotide sequence. The present invention provides a method for obtaining a genetically modified plant cell wherein a functional recombination at both the 5? and 3? ends of the nucleotide can be identified.

  • Patent number: 4923382
    Abstract: A press, especially for the manufacture of die-formed parts of dimensional accuracy made of powdered materials is described, which can be equipped and used interchangeably either for the use of the so-called smoothing process or the so-called plunger process. It includes a press support 103 on which a fixed press bed 104 and a vertically slidable press frame 105 are mountred for movement relative to each other by a mechanical drive, preferably a toggle linkage 106, to form a main press ram. Further, it has a bottom ram passing upwardly through the press bed 104 which serves as a smoothing ram or a plunger ram, being operated for both purposes by a double-arm lever 123 pivoted on the press support and actuated by a rock lever 133 likewise pivoted on the press support 103 and having a sliding pivoting connection to the double-arm lever 123.

  • Patent number: 4729300
    Abstract: The mechanical press, particularly a toggle press, comprises a hydraulic member connected between the force transmitting and force receiving components, such as a toggle joint, carriage, anvil, and platen. The anvil is mounted on a hydraulic member which is located in a hydraulic chamber. The hydraulic member acts as a press cushion which is continuously connected with a large volume fluid reservoir which is maintained constantly under a gas pressure. The hydraulic member has a maximum filling volume which is at most 1% of the volume of the fluid reservoir.
