Method for the production of plants with enhanced vitamin E biosynthesis efficiency by overproduction of a 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase gene from Arabidopsis or E. coli.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to malate dehydrogenase, which, when absent, brings about reduced growth and chlorotic leaves and is encoded by the nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2 or by a functional equivalent of this nucleic acid sequence, as target for herbicides. For this purpose, novel nucleic acid sequences encompassing SEQ ID NO:2 and functional equivalents of SEQ ID NO:2 are provided. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of the abovementioned malate dehydrogenase and its functional equivalents in a method for identifying compounds with herbicidal or growth-regulatory activity, and to the use of the compounds identified by this method as herbicides or growth regulators.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of DNA sequences of plant origin, coding for a polypeptide with phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 (E.C. 2.7.6.1) activity, for the discovery of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 inhibitors. The demonstration of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 as a herbicidal target by means of anti-sense technology is novel.
Abstract:
The high chair comprises two trapezoidal frames (1,2) which are joined together by a pivot. A seat is provided which is connected to the frames by another pivot. Attached to the seat is a safety element and a grip. A backrest is provided which with a slot which guides a strip. Belts and a safety strap are fixed to the frame as are a slip prevention piece and a rigidity strip. The pivots can extend for the width of the chair.
Abstract:
Conventional swimming, anti-chlorine goggles only ensure the view underwater and the protection of the eye from water and chlorine. The following problem arises when swimming, using freestyle or butterfly, when the head is below the water and breathing takes place to the side or only once every two-three strokes. So that oncoming male/female swimmers are noticed and the distance from the edge of the pool is assessed properly for a precise turn, the head has to be lifted from time to time or orientation has to be sought from pool markings. This problem is solved by the feature specified in the claim. The prism (1) located in the upper third of the visual range and closely in front of the eye deflects upwardly the line of sight (2) of the eye, that is to say forwards past the forehead when lying on the stomach. (3) As a result, despite having the head underwater, it is possible to see what happens above the surface. This permits the swimmer to look forward without unnecessary head movement and thus to maintain the rhythm or to assess more precisely the distance from the edge of the pool. This principle for expanding the visual range can be applied in many areas, such as for example diving or gliding.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to Clp-protease, which, when absent, brings about reduced growth and chlorotic leaves as target for herbicides. For this purpose, novel nucleic acid sequences encompassing SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:11 and SEQ ID NO: 17 and functional equivalents of SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:11 and SEQ ID NO: 17 are provided. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of Clp-protease in a method for identifying compounds with herbicidal or growth-regulatory activity, and to the use of the compounds identified by this method as herbicides or growth regulators.
