The present invention relates to a gene gun and the application of the gene gun for gene transformation. A low pressure gas is used in the gene gun to directly accelerate the biological material containing solution, so that the biological materials penetrate through the cell membrane/wall or the skin of an animal, without using metal particle carriers, for gene transformation.

Low pressure gas accelerated gene gun

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for generating the mosquito bait as well as stimulating the human body's surface temperature and emanated odor. A well-controlled heating assembly can be used to generate a suitable thermal gradient for simulating body temperature and evaporating the bait. The bait comprises at least the bacterial fermentation product. The bait is not poisonous to human beings and contains mosquito attractants made from natural products of fermentation or decomposition. The apparatus according to this invention comprises at least an upper compartment for trapping mosquitoes and a bottom compartment including the bait and the beating assembly. This invention can also combine with electrocution grids or insecticide webs to destroy attracted mosquitoes.

Microbe-mediated method and apparatus for attracting mosquitoes

This invention relates to transgenic plants containing an amphipathic protein-1 gene, and isolated nucleic acids encoding an amphipathic protein-1. Expression of the amphipathic protein-1 gene in a transgenic plant decreases a hypersensitive response in the transgenic plant.

Plants transformed with a nucleic acid encoding the hypersensitive response associated protein amphipathetic protein-1

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for generating the mosquito bait as well as simulating the human body's surface temperature and emanated odor. A well-controlled heating assembly can be used to generate a suitable thermal gradient for incubating both microorganisms and evaporating the bait. A bait-releasing unit is used to enhance the release of the mosquito bait. The bait comprises at least the bacterial decomposition and the yeast fermentation solution. The bait is not poisonous to human beings and produces mosquito attractants from natural products of fermentation or decomposition. The apparatus according to this invention comprises at least an upper compartment for trapping mosquitoes and a bottom compartment including the bait and the heating assembly. This invention can also combine with electrocution grids or insecticide webs to destroy attracted mosquitoes.

Mosquito-destroying apparatus

A gene gun is described wherein the contour design of the spray nozzle of the gene gun modifies the operation of the gene gun. A low pressure gas is used to accelerate the micro-particles that are coated with nucleic acid of a foreign gene into cytoplasma or nuclei of an animal or plant cell to express the special protein and to generate the new biological function.
