The invention relates generally to methods and compositions concerning desaturase enzymes that modulate the number and location of double bonds in long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA's). In particular, the invention relates to methods and compositions for improving omega-3 fatty acid profiles in plant products and parts using desaturase enzymes and nucleic acids encoding for such enzymes. In particular embodiments, the desaturase enzymes are&#x394;6-desaturases. Also provided are improved soybean oil compositions having SDA and a beneficial overall content of omega-3 fatty acids relative to omega-6 fatty acids.

Fatty acid desaturases from primula

The present invention is directed to controlling pest infestation by inhibiting one or more biological functions in an invertebrate pest. The invention discloses methods and compositions for use in controlling pest infestation by feeding one or more different recombinant double stranded RNA molecules to the pest in order to achieve a reduction in pest infestation through suppression of gene expression. The invention is also directed to methods for making transgenic plants that express the double stranded RNA molecules, and to particular combinations of transgenic pesticidal agents for use in protecting plants from pest infestation.

Compositions and methods for control of insect infestations in plants

Nucleic acid sequences and insecticidal proteins encoded from these sequences are provided. Insecticidal proteins encoded by large operons situated within the primary sequence of large extrachromosomal plasmids present inare disclosed. Methods for making transgenic plants resistant to insect infestation as a result of expression of one or more of these proteins is disclosed.strains exhibiting broad host range insecticidal specificity are also disclosed.

[object Object]

In a protective automobile separator, a screen like divider to be installed between the front and rear seats. 'L' shaped brackets secure the divider to the inner walls of the automobile. The 'L' shaped brackets have centrally located longitudinal slots through which is bolted an adaptor bar which runs along side the divider. The longitudinal slots allow the adaptor bar to be placed at a predetermined location between the divider and the inner wall of the automobile in order to prevent a passenger from reaching around the separator.
