The invention relates to a method for determining the level of transgene zygosity in a poaceae seed, the transgene being genetically linked to a gene coding for a fluorescent protein (FP protein) under the control of a promoter operative in the endosperm, comprising the step of exposing the endosperm of the seed to a wavelength exciting the FP protein, and measuring the intensity of the emitted fluorescence.

Methods for cell analysis are provided, comprising cell capturing, characterization, transport, and culture. In an exemplary method individual cells (and/or cellular units) are flowed into a microfluidic channel, the channel is partitioned into a plurality of contiguous segments, capturing at least one cell in at least one segment, A characteristic of one or more captured cells is determined and the cell(s) and combinations of cells are transported to specified cell holding chamber(s) based on the determined characteristic(s). Also provided are devices and systems for cell analysis.

The invention includes a method of inhibiting Pho84 in a fungus comprising administering to the fungus an effective amount of a compound of formula 1.

The present disclosure relates to luterion, which is a mitochondrial-like micro-material, and separating and culturing methods for same and, more particularly, to a method for separating luterion by means of a filter having a pore of a particular size, luterion which is separated by means of the method thereof and has unique properties, and a culturing method for proliferation of the luterion.

The present invention provides novel biomarkers for non-target-site resistance (NTSR) in wild grass, with corresponding methods of identifying NTSR. Corresponding kits and assay devices are also provided.

The invention relates to a method for screening of at least one chemical substance by treatment of plant material, comprising the following process steps: a) Applying the plant material into a cavity; b) Treatment of the plant material with the chemical substance; c) Creating at least one dataset showing at least one phenotypical characteristic of the plant material after treatment with the chemical substance; and d) Assigning the chemical substance based on the dataset to at least one site of action (SoA) and/or at least one mode of action (MoA) of a multitude of stored SoA and/or MoA by using a SoA- and/or MoA-compendium containing data regarding dependencies between phenotypical characteristics of at least one plant material treated by at least one reference substance of a known SoA and/or MoA.

The present invention relates to isolated resistance genes encoding polypeptides that confers resistance to aphid infestation, and methods of transforming plant and cells with the disclosed resistance genes. The invention also relates to transgenic plants and cells having resistance to aphids, particularly Aphis glycines.

This application relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a seed or seedling of an agricultural plant (e.g., an agricultural grass plant), or the agricultural plant derived from the seed or seedling. For example, this application provides purified bacterial populations that include novel seed-origin bacterial endophytes, and synthetic combinations of seeds and/or seedlings (e.g., cereal seeds and/or seedlings) with heterologous seed-derived bacterial endophytes.

A method for disrupting a sample of biological material for proteome analysis by a mass-spectrometry method is provided, involving admixing the sample with a certain volume of an organic acid, incubating said sample for a certain period for lysis and then neutralizing said sample.
