The DNA sequence or a fragment thereof is cloned in a suitable vector in an orientation relative to promoter(s) such that said promoter(s) is capable of initiating transcription of said DNA sequence to dsRNA upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to said promoter(s). The plant pest may be a plant pest that feeds on the plant. Also provided is a plant comprising the plant cell. Also provided is a method of producing a plant resistant to plant pest infestation, which method comprises identifying a DNA sequence from said pest which is critical for its survival, growth, proliferation, or reproduction. The method also comprises cloning the DNA sequence or a fragment thereof in a suitable vector in an orientation relative to promoter(s) such that said promoter(s) is capable of initiating transcription of said DNA sequence to dsRNA upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to said promoter(s). The method also comprises introducing said vector into the plant.

Title: Apparatus for stacking conical objects
Inventor: SMITH ALAN
IPC: B65G57/18
Filed: 1987-03-26
Granted: 1989-12-13
Abstract: Apparatus for stacking conical objects (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e) includes right hand and left hand side walls (3) and (4) which are joined by divergent walls (7) to define a tapering horizontal cross-section column (l) in which the spacing between the opposite walls (3) and (4) is shorter than the length of any one of the conical objects (2a-2e). The conical objects can be placed manually in the top of the column (l) but only in a given orientation (thanks to the tapering horizontal cross-section of the column (l) and only when hooked on a retaining finger (5) projecting into the column through the side wall (4). The conical object (2e) at the top of the stack thus settles into an inclined orientation which it retains when the retaining means (5) is released to drop the cone (2e) down the column, thanks to an inertia brake (8) to retard the wider diameter end of the falling cone and preventing the cone from becoming vertical. Retaining means (l0) at the foot of the column releases only the bottom cone (2a) and allows any cones above it to become indexed downwardly into the bottom-most position.

Abstract: Water sol. linear, high mol. wt. polymers are prepd. by irradiating an aq. soln. of 10-60 wt.% of a water-sol ethylenically unsatd. monomer(s) of formula: (where R=H, CH3 or C2H5 and Y=-NH2, -OM, where M=a cation, R, R2 and R3 are 1-4C alkyl, and X=an anion ) and 5-5000 ppm of a free-radical initiator having a dissociation constant of above 1 x 10-4 recip. secs. at 100 degrees C, acting or effective mainly between 50 and 100 degrees C. Radiation intensity is from 1000 to 1,000,000 rads/hr. to a dose of 1000 to 150,000 rads. nd is terminated before formation of water-insol. polymer in the reaction mass, allowing chemically induced polymerisation to continue. 30-95 wt.% of the unsatd. monomer initially present is converted to water-sol. polymer before termination of radiation. In producing water-sol. polymers in the form of a pourable liquid or a non-pourable rubbery gel. Termination of radiation before completing the polymerisation avoids any cross linking of the polymer. As the polymerisation reactions are exothermic and sufficient temp. is reached to induce chemically initiated polymerisation, this will continue until almost all of the monomer is converted to polymer.
