A Camera/lens mounting platform (also referred to hereafter as the 'platform') for attachment to the window opening in a vehicle door is described. The platform is configurable to clamp to the doors of many, if not most, passenger cars and light duty trucks when a door's window is fully or nearly fully retracted. The platform offers a firm connection to the vehicle door and high stability to minimize blurring of photos and video.

Camera/lens mounting platform for vehicle

The present invention provides a polynucleotide sequence encoding a component of the protein machinery involved in small RNA trafficking,phloem small RNA-binding protein (CmPSRB 1), and the corresponding polypeptide sequence. The invention also provides genetic constructs and transgenic plants comprising the polynucleotide sequence encoding a phloem small RNA-binding protein to alter (e.g., prevent, reduce or elevate) non-cell autonomous signaling events in the plants involving small RNA metabolism. These signaling events are involved in a broad spectrum of plant physiological and biochemical processes, including, for example, systemic resistance to pathogens, responses to environmental stresses, e.g., heat, drought, salinity, and systemic gene silencing (e.g., viral infections).

Nucleic acids encoding phloem small RNA-binding proteins and transgenic plants comprising them

Methods and mechanisms for regulation of macromolecular transport between cells in plasmodesmatal communication with one another are disclosed. Nuclear acids encoding tobacco mosaic virus movement protein (TMV-MP) in wild type and mutant forms is shown and used to affect plant size, carbon metabolism and biomass partitioning in transgeric plants.
