  • Patent number: 12601015
    Abstract: An allele, a molecular marker, a primer pair of rice HPS1 gene, and applications thereof are provided. An allele of the rice HPS1 gene is provided. The allele is a natural excellent allele of the HPS1 gene. Furthermore, a natural structural variation of 192 bp fragment deletion in the promoter of the allele of HPS1 gene is identified from rice resources with excellent agronomic traits, such as 93-11 variety. Based on this, a molecular marker primer for assisted breeding is developed.

  • Publication number: 20250320513
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for regulating and controlling disease resistance in a rice plant by reducing disease resistance of the plant by knocking out the HPS1 gene or protein and/or improving disease resistance of the plant by overexpressing the HPS1 gene or protein. Compared with wild-type rice plants, rice overexpressing HPS1 gene has stronger resistance to different fungal or bacterial diseases, such as rice blast, sheath blight and bacterial blight, and has stronger resistance to insect pests caused by brown planthopper. The knockout of the HPS1 gene leads to a disruption in its protein-encoding ability, thereby causing the rice to exhibit weaker resistance to biological stress compared to wild-type rice.

  • Publication number: 20220095622
    Abstract: An application and a method of compounds inhibiting synthesis of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in preventing and controlling microbial pathogens are provided, which relate to the technical field of plant pathology and plant disease prevention and control. In particular, an application method of a compound for inhibiting the synthesis of VLCFAs in preventing and treating microbial pathogens is provided. Research results associated with the methods show that taking the synthesis of VLCFAs as the target, microbial pathogens can be inhibited by using compounds that inhibit the synthesis of VLCFAs. Therefore, the compounds inhibiting the synthesis of VLCFAs can be used in preventing and treating microbial pathogens diseases, which provides a new idea or strategy for the prevention and treatment of microbial pathogens diseases, and provides more choices for the types of drugs for the prevention and treatment of pathogenic diseases.

  • Patent number: 9188003
    Abstract: A universal multi-orientation bracket design for attaching solenoids to a housing of a hydraulically actuated variable valve system. The bracket having at least two sidewalls, an upper cross member, a cupped lower surface and at least one mounting flange. The cupped lower surface is shaped to insert a solenoid main body and gaps included in the side walls for a protruding solenoid connector.

  • Patent number: 8677956
    Abstract: A control valve for a device for variably adjusting the control times of gas-exchange valves of an internal combustion engine. The control valve has a substantially hollow cylindrical valve housing, a non-return valve and an annular filter. The annular filter is arranged within the valve housing and the non-return valve has a closing body and a spring element.

  • Patent number: 8573167
    Abstract: A control valve for a device to variably adjust control times of gas-exchange valves of an internal combustion engine. The control device has a valve housing and a control piston. The valve housing has an axial cavity with a dividing element arranged in the cavity that separates the cavity into two partial spaces and hydraulically seals the spaces from one another. The dividing element is produced separately from the valve housing and is positionally fixedly fastened in the cavity of the valve housing. The first partial space holds the control piston, and a supply connection is formed in the region of the first partial space. The second partial space has at least one first opening via which pressure medium can be supplied to the second partial space by a pressure medium pump, and at least one second opening by which the second partial space communicates with the supply connection.
