Title: Plants with reduced expression of phosphatase type 2c gene for enhanced pathogen resistance
Inventor: WANG WENMING
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2005-12-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for down regulating an Arabidopsis protein phosphatase type 2C gene, referred to as "defense-associated protein phosphatase type 2C one" (DAPP1) that functions as a negative regulator of a plant defense pathway. The method includes contacting the DAPP] gene or gene mRNA with an interfering nucleotide sequence that interacts with the gene and reducing expression thereof. Plants including such interfering nucleotide sequence exhibit increased disease resistance to pathogens even in the absence of R genes. Close homologs of DAPPI exist in multiple crop species, and as such, the controlled down-regulation of homologous genes in a variety of crop species will enhance disease resistance of target crop species to pathogens.

Abstract: A highly flexible tissue-type heart valve is disclosed having a structural stent in a generally cylindrical configuration with cusps and commissures that are permitted to move radially. The stent commissures are constructed so that the cusps are pivotably or flexibly coupled together at the commissures to permit relative movement therebetween. The stent may be cloth-covered and may be a single element or may be made in three separate elements for a three cusp valve, each element having a cusp portion and two commissure portions; adjacent commissure portions for each pair of adjacent stent element combining to form the stent commissures. If the stent has separate elements their commissure portions may be pivotably or flexibly coupled, or may be designed to completely separate into independent leaflets at bioresorbable couples. The cloth covering may have an outwardly projecting flap that mates with valve leaflets (e.g., pericardial leaflets) along the cusps and commissures. A connecting band may be provided that follows the cusps and commissures and extends outwardly. The valve is connected to the natural tissue along the undulating connecting band using conventional techniques, such as sutures. The connecting band may be a cloth-covered silicon member and attaches to the underside of the valve at the cusps to provide support to the stent and to the outer side of the valve at the commissures. A multi-legged holder is used to implant the valve, with the legs serving to maintain an implant shape to the valve. The holder may have six legs with one releasably connected to each cusp and one releasably connected to each commissure. A method of implantation of the flexible valve using the holder is also disclosed.
