Abstract: A method for producing phase-pure, monodispersed, single crystal alpha-alumina particles of controlled size and shape comprises the steps of providing an aluminum hydrous oxide precursor and a glycol solution, dispersing said precursor in said glycol solution to create a suspension, heating and stirring said suspension in a closed pressure vessel to produce alpha-alumina particles, cooling said suspension, and removing said alpha-alumina particles from said solution. Additionally nucleation seeds may be added to the solution. Control of size is a function of seeding concentration, and control of morphology is a function of stirring rate.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to novel mutant polynucleotide molecules that encode enzymes that have increased heat stability. These polynucleotides, when expressed in plants, result in increased yield in plants grown under conditions of heat stress. The polynucleotide molecules of the subject invention encode maize endosperm ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) and soluble starch synthase (SSS) enzyme activities. Plants and plant tissue bred to contain, or transformed with, the mutant polynucleotides, and expressing the polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides, are also contemplated by the present invention. The subject invention also concerns methods for isolating polynucleotides and polypeptides contemplated within the scope of the invention. Methods for increasing yield in plants grown under conditions of best stress are also provided.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to materials and methods that provide plants with resistance to plant pathogens and pests. Antibodies and aptamers that immunoreact or bind and inhibit the action of protein expression products from avirulence and/or phatogenicity genes, including, but not limited to, the Xanthomonas avr/pth family of such genes, are described. The antibodies of the subject invention function by blocking the action of the primary protein products of avr/pth genes by intercepting and denaturing them prior to their translocation to the plant nucleus. The method of the subject invention concerns transforming a plant with polynucleotide molecules that encode the antibodies. Expression of the antibodies in the plant confers resistance from pathogens and pests. The subject invention also pertains to polynucleotide molecules encoding the subject antibodies, as well as plants and plant tissue transformed with the polynucleotide molecules encoding the subject antibodies.

Abstract: An economic and efficient method for producing clarified fruit juices from high pulp fruit purees is disclosed. A combined water extraction-membrane filtration-evaporation (2, 9, 6) concentration technology is used to produce the clarified juice concentrate and optionally to strip the fruit flavors from the clarified juice produced. Low acidic flavorless clarified banana juice is used advantageously to sweeten the acidic citrus juice for reducing tartness and/or bitterness by increasing Brix/acid ratio without imparting the citrus flavors. The clarified juice concentrate or its juice concentrate blend is concentrated to a 6+1 (6 parts of water plus 1 part of concentrate) retail pack which remains nonfrozen and ready-to-pour even at household freezer temperatures (ca. -10 to -156 DEG C).

Abstract: This invention comprises a mutant plant virus gene which confers resistance on tobacco and tomato plants against tobacco mosaic tobamovirus and tomato mottle geminivirus infections and infection by other related geminiviruses. A gene was initially isolated from the known BC1 gene, between nucleotides 1278 and 2311 of the B component of tomato mottle geminivirus. Upon subcloning of this DNA fragment into an appropriate expression vector and transformation of the gene into tobacco plants, a truncated gene product was produced which confers resistance against viral infection to the recombinant plant in which it is expressed.
