Methods are described for producing a plant with altered seed yield comprising transformation of a plant with a genetic construct including a polynucleotide encoding of a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a variant or fragment thereof. Also provided by the disclosed methods are isolated polypeptides, polynucleotides, constructs and vectors useful for producing a plant with altered seed yield. The methods also provide plant cells and plants transformed to contain and express the polypeptides, polynucleotides and constructs. Plants produced by the disclosed methods are further provided.

Polynucleotides and methods for the improvement of plants

The invention provides the isolated promoter polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 from perennial ryegrass (L.), and fragments and variants thereof. The invention also provides constructs, plant cells and plant genetically modified to contain the promoter polynucleotide. The invention also provides methods for producing plants with altered gene expression and traits via genetic transformation of plants with the promoter polynucleotide.

Control of gene expression in plants

The invention provides methods, polynucleotides and polypeptides useful for producing or selecting plants with increased tolerance to at least one environmental stress selected from drought, cold, freezing, heat and salinity. The invention also provides constructs, cells, plant cells and plants comprising the polynucleotides of the invention. The invention also provides plants produced by the methods of the invention. The invention also provides groups of plants selected by the methods of the invention.

Methods and compositions for the improvement of plant tolerance to environmental stresses

The invention provides the isolated promoter polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, and fragments and variants thereof. The invention also provides constructs, plant cells and plants genetically modified to contain the promoter polynucleotide. The invention also provides methods for producing plants with altered gene expression and traits via genetic transformation of plants with the promoter polynucleotides.

Gene expression control in plants

The invention provides methods and compositions for producing plant with altered biomass, the methods comprising the step of altering the expression and/or activity of the polypeptide comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or a variant thereof, in a plant cell or plant. The invention also provides a polypeptide comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, and fragments of variants thereof the sequence. The invention also provides polynucleotides encoding such polypeptide sequences. The invention also provides constructs, cells and plants comprising such polynucleotides.

Polynucleotides and methods for improving plants

The invention provides compositions and methods useful for producing plant cells or plants with altered tolerance to at least one environmental stress selected from drought, cold, freezing, heat and salinity.

Compositions and methods for the improvement of plants

An intramedullary nail () and related method for fixing a fracture in a long bone. The nail () comprises an elongate member () having a longitudinal axis (), a proximal end section (), a distal end section () and a solid central section () extending between the proximal and distal end sections (). The proximal and distal end sections () respectively include proximal and distal fastener receiving areas () of greater cross sectional dimensions than the central section (). Each fastener receiving area () includes at least one hole () extending transverse to the longitudinal axis for receiving a cross fastener () adapted to secure to the bone on opposite sides of the elongate member (). The proximal and distal end sections () thereby provide rigid anchoring locations relative to the central section () and the central section provides flexibility to promote healing of the fracture.

Pediatric intramedullary nail and method

A system and method for dynamic modification and generation of data. One embodiment includes an annotation server that is connected to a user and a content provider. The annotation server is configured to modify a copy of an enterprise's stored Web content without necessarily modifying the actual stored Web content. The annotation server then provides the modified content to the user for viewing or other use.

System and method for dynamic modification of web content

The invention provides compositions and methods useful for producing a plant cell or plant with altered tolerance to drought by transformation of the plant cell or plant with a genetic construct encoding a polypeptide with at least 90% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.

Compositions and methods for producing plants with improved stress tolerance

Isolated stress-responsiveness promoters suitable for directing gene expression in plant cells or plants are provided, along with constructs, vectors, host cells, plant cells and plant comprising the promoters. Methods for producing plant cells or plants with modified phenotype via transformation of the plant cells or plants with the promoters are also provided.
