Listeriosis is diagnosed when L. monocytogenes is isolated from the blood, cerebrospinal
fluid or other typically sterile site, such as the brain stem. The incubation period andduration of illness for L. monocytogenes are not well-defined. For example, onset ofillness has been recorded within 48 hours to over 90 days from exposure to contaminated food.
Several food types are more commonly associated with listeriosis, including ready-to-eat(RTE) meats, such as deli meats, hot dogs, pates and other meat spreads. Uncooked andready-to-eat (e.g. smoked) fish and dairy products, including soft and dairy sliced cheeses
and unpasteurized milk, are also commonly associated with listeriosis outbreaks. Raw vegetables
have also been linked to outbreaks of listeriosis. In the last 10 years, several outbreaks oflisteriosis in the United States and around the world have confirmed that ready-to-eat (RTE)
foods are a major vehicle of listeriosis. RTE (deli) meats may become contaminated during slicing
at retail, and although large numbers of L. monocytogenes may not be transferred to the meat,
the pathogen grows at refrigeration temperatures, meaning that even low contamination may resultin expansion of the bacterial concentration during storage.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first and second components are incorporated ina food product or a food intermediate prior to cooking.
The first component to be incorporated in the food product of the present invention is a
cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrins comprise a doughnut shaped or cyclical structure composed of a numberof alpha-D-glucose units (typically 6-8) having a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic interior.
The cyclodextrin component in one embodiment of the present invention comprises alpha-cyclodextrin,beta-cyclodextrin, gamma-cyclodextrin, or mixtures thereof. Cyclodextrins are generally watersoluble, although alpha-cyclodextrin is likely more water soluble than beta-cyclodextrin or
gamma-cyclodextrin and free flowing crystalline powders that are substantially if not completely
odorless and white in color.
In one embodiment of the invention, the cyclodextrin is alpha-cyclodextrin. Alpha-cyclodextrin is a
cyclized ring of six alpha 1 ,4 linked glucose units. Alpha-cyclodextrin has a cavity dimension of
about 0.50 x 0.79 (nm).

The insecticidal activity of templamide A, B, FR901465 and FR90128 are tested in alaboratory assay using a 96-well diet overlay assay with 1st instar Beet Armyworm larvae using
microtiter plates with 200 micro litter of solid, artificial Beet Armyworm diet in each well.
One hundred (100) micro litter of each test sample is pipetted on the top of the diet (one samplein each well), and the sample is let dry under flowing air until the surface is dry. Each sample
was tested in six replicates, and water and a commercial Bt (B. thuringiensis) product are used as
negative and positive controls, respectively. One first instar larvae of the test insect (Beetarmyworm - Spodoptera exiqua) was placed in each well, and the plate was covered with plastic coverwith airholes. The plates with insects were incubated at 26 degree centigrade for 6 days with daily
mortality evaluations. Based on the results presented in Table 12, templamide A and B results in
40% and 80% mortality, respectively.

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
6.

A method to alter root architecture in a plant, comprising:(a) introducing into a regenerable plant cell a recombinant DNA construct comprising apolynucleotide operably linked to at least one regulatory sequence, wherein the polynucleotide
encodes a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of at least 50% sequence identity, based on theClustal V method of alignment, when compared to SEQ ID No: 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33,35, 37, 39, 41, or 42;(b) regenerating a transgenic plant from the regenerable plant cell after step (a), wherein
the transgenic plant comprises in its genome the recombinant DNA construct.; and(c) obtaining a progeny plant derived from the transgenic plant of step (b), wherein saidprogeny plant comprises the recombinant DNA construct in its genome and exhibits altered rootarchitecture when compared to a control plant not comprising the recombinant DNA construct.
