  • NOVEL INSECTICIDAL PROTEINS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20180094278
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are isolated insecticidal proteins and nucleic acids. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The insecticidal proteins find use in controlling or killing lepidopteran, coleopteran, dipteran, fungal, hemipteran, and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

  • Fabrication Method for Growing Single Crystal of Multi-Type Compound
    Publication number: 20170137962
    Abstract: A fabricating method for growing a single crystal of a multi-type compound comprises steps of: (a) providing a seed crystal at a deposition region; (b) providing a powder material at a high purity source region; and (c) undertaking a vacuum process, a heating process, a growing process, a cooling process to prepare the singe crystal, wherein a heating source is used to move to control a temperature gradient within a gas temperature control region to form a temperature gradient motion so that the temperature gradient presents a variation. By reducing the possibility of other deficiencies being continuously induced in the following crystal growth process owing to the local slime occurring at the rear side of the seed crystal from the void deficiencies at the rear side of the original seed crystal may be excluded, but also the possibility of other multi-type bodies being induced by the above vacancies.
