  • Publication number: 20180105819
    Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant DNA constructs, vectors and molecules useful for attenuating and/or refining the expression of a florigenic FT gene or transgene using targeting sequences of small RNA molecules. Transgenic plants, plant cells and tissues, and plant parts comprising the recombinant constructs, vectors, and molecules are also provided. Transgenic plants comprising a florigenic FT transgene may produce more bolls, siliques, fruits, nuts, or pods per node on the transgenic plant via suppression, relative to a control or wild type plant. Methods are further provided for introducing the recombinant DNA constructs, vectors, and molecules into a plant, and planting transgenic plants in the field including at higher densities. Transgenic plants of the present invention may provide greater yield potential than wild type or control plants.

  • Patent number: 9579408
    Abstract: Tracers that can be used for PET or SPECT imaging of the distribution of Pgp are disclosed. The tracers are metalloprobes that can comprise a radioactive metal ion such as 67Ga or 68Ga. Methods of synthesizing the tracers, and methods of imaging heart and other tissues are also disclosed. The tracers can be used to obtain high signal-to-background ratios for imaging tissues in vivo such as heart or tumor tissue. In various embodiments, disclosed tracers can exhibit, a) enhanced first pass extraction into heart tissue compared to presently available probes, b) linearity with true blood flow, c) enhanced detection of myocardial viability compared to presently available probes, d) reduced liver retention compared to presently available probes, and e) more efficient clearance from non-cardiac and adjoining tissues compared to presently available probes.
