  • Publication number: 20150096080
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an activation tagging construct for maize, resulting tagged populations and plants. In one example, an activation tagging DNA construct includes a coding sequence for a transposase, a detectable reporter (such as anthocyanin regulatory genes B-Peru and C1) and a non-autonomous transposable T-DNA cassette. For example, the transposable T-DNA cassette is inserted into the detectable reporter encoding region such that the B-Peru and C1 genes express anthocyanins in a cell containing the maize activation tagging DNA construct only upon excision of the transposable cassette. Methods of generating a tagged population of maize plants include transforming a maize plant cell or tissue with the disclosed constructs.

  • Publication number: 20140324700
    Abstract: A method and system for processing an object to be processed are disclosed in the field of Internet communication. In the method, a client device acquires data including: order data of the object to be processed, a first account of a first main body, and a user password. The client device transmits the acquired data to an instant messaging server. The instant messaging server forwards the data to a third party system. The third party system subtracts the total numerical value of the object to be processed from a first numerical value included in the first account of the first main body according to the data and adds the total numerical value to a second numerical value included in a first account of the second main body.
