  • Patent number: 7385048
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved promoters and utilization thereof, in particular to promoters which are improved so as not to undergo methylation in the course of constructing transformants, and utilization thereof. According to the present invention, the expression efficiency of a structural gene can be enhanced even in a plant, e.g. chrysanthemum, which has weak expression of the structural gene by a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter which as been considered a high expression promoter for plants.

  • Publication number: 20070298970
    Abstract: Spray drift during the application of agricultural chemicals is reduced by incorporating a monosaccharide or a mixture of monosaccharides into the liquid to be sprayed and by spraying the resulting liquid through a flat fan or straight stream nozzle without a deflector. Average spray droplet sizes are increased and the percentage of driftable spray droplets (<150 microns) produced are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20070172544
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for quickly measuring factors causing early flocculation of yeast contained in brewing materials, and a method for quickly determining early flocculating property of yeast by using the measuring method. Yeast at late logarithmic growth phase or thereafter is prepared, and the yeast is mixed, suspended with water-extracted high-molecular weight fraction of test material sample from oat or malt in a buffer solution, and by measuring the precipitation level of the mixed and suspended yeast, it is possible to measure factors causing early flocculation of yeast contained in brewing materials without performing a fermentation process as in conventional method, in a quite short time period, with a minute amount of sample. The water-extracted high-molecular weight fraction of the test material sample can be easily prepared by extracting brewing materials with water, and then by using ethanol precipitation, or dialysis, ultrafiltration, gel filtration, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20060277623
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved promoters and utilization thereof, in particular to promoters which are improved so as not to undergo methylation in the course of constructing transformants, and utilization thereof. The improved promoters of the present invention are represented by the following (1) and (2): (1) a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 4; (2) a DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence consisting of the nucleotide sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS 1 to 4, wherein one to several nucleotides are deleted, added or inserted and the deleted, added or inserted sequence is free from any consecutive sequences represented by CG, CAG, CTG, CCG or CGG; the DNA having promoter activity. According to the present invention, the expression efficiency of a structural gene can be enhanced even in a plant, e.g. chrysanthemum, which has weak expression of the structural gene by a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter which has been considered a high expression promoter for plants.
