Devices and methods for promoting the growth of plants, which transport the plants using a conveyor belt where roots of the plants protrude into a region located below a lower surface of the conveyor belt and at least parts of leaves and/or fruits of the plants protrude into a region located above an upper surface of the conveyor belt which opposes the lower surface. The conveyor path moves along a closed circular or oval path such that a deflection occurs in the region of an upper deflection point and in the region of a lower deflection point, which interconnect vertical sections.

Device for promoting the growth of plants

The invention relates to a device and to a method for promoting the growth of plants comprising a conveyor belt which can be moved along a conveyor path for transporting plants, which are at least temporarily supplied with nutrients illuminated during movement. The conveyor path contains a horizontal section and vertical section. The plants are at least temporarily fixed relative to the conveyor belt such that roots of the plants protrude below a lower surface of the conveyor belt, while leaves and/or fruits of the plants protrude above an upper surface of the conveyor belt.

The technology provided herein pertains to methods for the modification of a target nucleic acid in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo in the genome of a cell by using a pre-assembled complex comprising a nucleic acid and a metal nanocluster and exposing the complex bound to a target nucleic acid to electromagnetic radiation.

Light-inducible targeted modification of nucleic acids and genetic information

The technology provided herein relates to novel promoter constructs, method and systems for an increase in the target protein yield and/or allowing the use of lower template concentration in the cell-free protein synthesis systems.

Promoter construct for cell-free protein synthesis

The technology provided herein relates to novel methods and systems for cell-free protein synthesis, in particular to cell-free protein synthesis systems suitable for protein synthesis before and after freezing for a short- or long-term storage, wherein said system comprises a cryoprotectant.

Cell-free protein synthesis system

A recombinant dietary protein is provided that is free of phenylalanine and is a dietary protein with a high biological value. Further provided are a vector encoding said dietary protein, a microorganisms expressing said protein, a method for the production of said protein, and a dietary composition comprising said protein that in an embodiment is for use as a medicament and/or food for special medical purposes in patients with accumulations of phenylalanine in the body.

Phenylalanine-free protein for the treatment of PKU

This disclosure concerns the systems, methods, and kits for the in vitro synthesis of biological macromolecules in a reaction utilizing cell lysates containing plastids, mitochondria and/or chloroplasts, wherein creatine phosphate and creatine kinase are not added to the reaction to provide artificial energy regeneration.

Eukaryotic cell-free protein expression system that does not require an artificial energy regeneration system

The technology provided herein generally relates relates to genetically modified higher plants, for example C3 and C4 plants, and subsequent generations thereof, comprising stable and/or transient expression of at least one gene-product (e.g. mRNA or protein) of the 'CO2 concentrating mechanism' (CCM), wherein the expression takes place in the intermembrane space and/or one or more subcellular compartments of the chloroplasts of the higher plant, and wherein this expression increases one or more of the characteristics selected from the group of photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic carbon fixation, chlorophyll level and/or biomass of the genetically modified higher plant (T0) and/or of the T1 and/or T2 generation or any subsequent plant generation of said genetically modified higher plant.

Genetically modified higher plants with increased photosynthesis and/or biomass production, methods and uses thereof

The invention provides a method for the generation of a monoclonal plant cell line from a heterologous population of plant cells, comprising the following steps: (a) provision of a heterologous population of plant cells; (b) preparation of protoplasts from said heterologous population of plant cells; (c) separation of single protoplasts by subjecting the preparation of protoplasts to flow cytometric sorting; (d) regeneration of a separated single transformed protoplast until the formation of a microcolony by co-cultivation in the presence of feeder cell material; (e) removal of the microcolony from the feeder cell material and cultivation of the microcolony until the formation of a monoclonal plant cell line.

Method for the generation of a monoclonal plant cell line

The invention relates to a method for stimulating the growth of the plants and/or improving the biomass production and/or increasing the carbon fixation by the plant comprising introducing into a plant cell, plant tissue or plant one or more nucleic acids, wherein the introduction of the nucleic acid(s) results inside the chloroplast of a de novo expression of one or more polypeptides having the enzymatic activity of a glycolate dehydrogenase made up from translationally fused subunits of bacterial multi-subunit glycolate dehydrogenase enzymes.

Method for increasing photosynthetic carbon fixation using glycolate dehydrogenase multi-subunit fusion protein

A method for the production of fungus resistant transgenic plants, plant cells or plant tissue comprising the introduction of an Ab, rAb, rAb fragment or fusion or vector of the invention or the vectors of the composition of the invention into the genome of a plant, plant cell or plant cell tissue and a transgenic plant cell comprising stably integrated into the genome a polynucleotide or vector of the invention or the vectors of the composition of the invention.

Antibodies, recombinant antibodies, recombinant antibody fragments and fusions mediated plant disease resistance against fungi

The present invention is drawn to a fusion protein containing at least one binding domain that specifically recognizes an eptitope of a plant pathogen and at least one additional domain made from a protein or peptide sequence which is toxic to the pathogen or detrimental the replication, transmission or life cycle of the pathogen. The present invention is further drawn to a pathogenocide made from the binding domain, a cellular targeting sequence and/or membrane localization sequence that leads to membrane anchoring. The present invention is further drawn to nucleotide sequences encoding fusion proteins and pathogenocides and to vectors containing the nucleotide sequences; as well as methods of making the fusion proteins and pathogencides and methods of making pathogen resistant plants, plant cells, or plant tissues with the fusion proteins and pathogenocides.
