| 20130145497 | Plants Having Enhanced Yield-Related Traits and a Method for Making the Same - The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an SGT1 polypeptide, or a CLC-pKG polypeptide, or a HD-hydrolase-like polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an SGT1 polypeptide, or a CLC-pKG polypeptide, or a HD-hydrolase-like polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145498 | MtNIP REGULATED PLANTS WITH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED SIZE AND BIOMASS - A composition and method for producing plants with increased biomass and growth characteristics, and plants which flower early relative to wild-type plants. The MtNIP gene is over-expressed in plants to increase biomass, growth, and early flowering. Other genes in the NRT1/PTR family may also be over-expressed to increase biomass, growth, and early flowering | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145499 | Plants with Increased Fruit Size - The present invention relates to the field of transgenic and non-transgenic plants with novel phenotypes. Provided are | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145500 | METHOD FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF GERMPLASM SCREENING IN PLANT TRANSFORMATION - A method for increasing efficiency of germplasm screening for transformability may include providing a plurality of lines of plant target tissue to be transformed, characterizing each of the lines to provide characterization data, the characterization data comprises DNA or nucleic acid delivery technique response data and tissue culture response data, eliminating one or more of the plurality of lines based on the characterization data without performing transformation of the plurality of lines, such that a subset of the plurality of lines remains, and performing transformation experiments on the subset of the plurality of lines. The method may also include selecting a DNA or nucleic acid delivery technique protocol and a tissue culture protocol prior to the characterization. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145501 | CARBOHYDRATE DEGRADING POLYPEPTIDE AND USES THEREOF - The invention relates to a polypeptide having carbohydrate material degrading activity which comprises the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 or an amino acid sequence encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 4, or a variant polypeptide or variant polynucleotide thereof, wherein the variant polypeptide has at least 96% sequence identity with the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 or the variant polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide that has at least 96% sequence identity with the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2. The invention features the full length coding sequence of the novel gene as well as the amino acid sequence of the full-length functional protein and functional equivalents of the gene or the amino acid sequence. The invention also relates to methods for using the polypeptide in industrial processes. Also included in the invention are cells transformed with a polynucleotide according to the invention suitable for producing these proteins. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145502 | REGULATORY SEQUENCES FOR MODULATING TRANSGENE EXPRESSION IN PLANTS - The invention relates to gene expression regulatory sequences, specifically introns that act as enhancers of gene expression, the promoter and terminator sequences endogenously associated with these introns. Presence of these intronic enhancer sequences in proximity to promoter sequences leads to enhancement of gene expression. Methods of finding such new intronic enhancer sequences and using them to generate transgenic plants are also described. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145503 | ENGINEERED ZINC FINGER PROTEINS TARGETING 5-ENOLPYRUVYL SHIKIMATE-3-PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE GENES - The present disclosure relates to engineered zinc finger proteins that target 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) genes in plants and methods of using such zinc finger proteins in modulating gene expression, gene inactivation, and targeted gene modification. In particular, the disclosure pertains to zinc finger nucleases for targeted cleavage and alteration of EPSPS genes. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145504 | LETTUCE VARIETY MULTIGREEN 60 - The present invention relates to plants of a lettuce variety NUN 09060 LT (referred to as “MULTIGREEN 60”) and, seeds and progeny thereof. The invention further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant by traditional breeding methods. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145505 | NEAR FIELD OPTICAL MICROSCOPE WITH OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM - The invention relates to a device for conducting near-field optical measurements of a specimen comprising an optical imaging system, the use of such device and to a method for adjusting the probe or the illumination of the probe in such a device. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145506 | Systems And Methods For Performing Microscopy At Hyperbaric Pressures - In some embodiments, a system for performing microscopy at hyperbaric pressures includes a hyperbaric chamber that defines a sealed interior space, and an imaging system contained within the interior space that is operated from outside of the hyperbaric chamber to image materials within the interior space at hyperbaric pressures. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145507 | SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPE AND SAMPLE OBSERVING METHOD USING THE SAME - In a near-field scanning microscope using an aperture probe, the upper limit of the aperture formation is at most several ten nm in practice. In a near-field scanning microscope using a scatter probe, the resolution ability is limited to at most several ten nm because of the external illuminating light serving as background noise. Moreover, measurement reproducibility is seriously lowered by a damage or abrasion of a probe. Optical data and unevenness data of the surface of a sample can be measured at a nm-order resolution ability and a high reproducibility while damaging neither the probe nor the sample by fabricating a plasmon-enhanced near-field probe having a nm-order optical resolution ability by combining a nm-order cylindrical structure with nm-order microparticles and repeatedly moving the probe toward the sample and away therefrom at a low contact force at individual measurement points on the sample. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145508 | Miniature rose plant named 'WEKwisogoma' - A new variety of Miniature rose suitable for garden decoration, having flowers of incandescent pink coloration. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130145509 | INTERSPECIFIC TREE NAMED 'GLORY RED' - A new and distinct variety of interspecific tree. The following features of the tree and its fruit are characterized with the tree budded on ‘Nemaguard’ Rootstock (non-patented), grown on Handford sandy loam soil with Storie Index rating 95, in USDA Hardiness Zone 9, near Modesto, Calif., with standard commercial fruit growing practices, such as pruning, thinning, spraying, irrigation and fertilization. Its novelty consist of the following combination of desirable features:

| 20130145510 | Grapevine "SHEEGENE-21' - A new and distinct variety of grapevine characterized by the production of medium, green-colored seedless grapes that mature in early July, approximately four weeks earlier than ‘Thompson Seedless’ (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling. | 2013-06-06 |
