Filed:

Jul 3, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/897351

Inventors:

Georg Jander - Jamaica Plain MA, US
Narendra Kadaba - Newton MA, US

International Classification:

A01C007/00

US Classification:

111/186000

Abstract:

A seed dispensing device comprising an outer tube to hold seed, an inner tube through which an aliquot of seed is dispensed and a closure to secure the inner tube to the outer tube. This device is particularly useful for seed that are small and difficult to handle, e.g. seed of . Embodiments of the device provide a means to dispense aliquots of many stocks of seed simultaneously while minimizing cross contamination of the seed stocks.

Appl. No.:

09/941228

Inventors:

Georg Jander - Jamaica Plain MA, US

International Classification:

A01D045/30

US Classification:

056/001000

Abstract:

An improved tubular seed collecting device comprising a funnel-shaped base which protrudes into the tubular space of the device. The seed collecting device has tabs on its legs and/or elongated bosses on the inside wall of the cup. The tabs serve to limit the insertion of the legs into the plant growth medium to allow horizontal growth of the plant under the level of the cup. The tabs and the bosses improve the air flow through the device. Sturdier leg design allows more re-use of each device.

Abstract:

Acetolactate synthase (ALS), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of valine, leucine and isoleucine in plants is inhibited by herbicides comprising imidazolinones. The present invention relates to genes encoding a mutant acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme that is specifically resistant to imidazolinone herbicides. Exemplary of these genes are DNA sequences which encode an amino acid substitution at position 122 or an amino acid substitution at position 205 of the wild-type ALS enzyme in , ecotype Columbia or an amino acid substitution at position 205 of the wild-type ALS enzyme in , ecotype Landsberg erecta. The mutant ALS genes can be used to transform plants to herbicide resistance; in this regard, the invention also provides host cells and vectors containing the gene, which cells and vectors are useful in the transformation process. The mutant ALS genes is commercially useful, when used to impart imidazolinone resistance to a crop plant; thereby permitting the utilization of the imidazolinone or analogous herbicide as a single application at a concentration which ensures the complete or substantially complete killing of weeds, while leaving the transgenic crop plant essentially undamaged.
