IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 1998-07-24
Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid molecule is described which comprises a nucleotide sequence corresponding to a gene or functional derivative or a region of gene facilitating its expression, wherein the gene is specifically expressed in generative cells and sperm cells of a plant. A proviso explains that the gene does not encode a histone, and that the nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleotide sequence which encodes an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:4, 6, and 8 or an amino acid sequence having at least 70% identity to any one of SEQ ID NO:4, 6, or 8. The method of inducing or otherwise facilitating male sterility in a plant is described. A cytotoxic nucleic acid molecule is operably linked to a promoter which directs plant generative cell and sperm cell specific expression in the plant. Upon direction by the promoter, the cytotoxic nucleic acid molecule is expressed to produce a product which inactivates, kills or otherwise renders substantially non-functional generative cells and/or sperm cells in the plant. The plant is selected from a legume, crop plant, cereal plant, fruiting plant, flowering plant and a grass. (62) Divided out of 515659

Title: Computer learning memory game and system
Inventor: DOWRICK PETER
IPC: G09B5/06
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: A computerized educational game system for teaching a user to identify items from a list of items of subject matter to be learned comprises a computer having a visual and audibly responsive display. The display comprises a matrix of separately openable covers revealing upon opening an item to be learned under each cover, the item and an equivalent match of the item appearing under two covers. A selection means allows the user to select a cover to be opened revealing an item and there is an audio input for the user to attempt to identify the revealed item into a computer readable file. The computer memory stores in a hard drive and retrieves each item identified by the user, and sorts the user responses by a user-defined filename. The speech recognition program recognizes attempts at identifying an item and prompts the user with an audible clue if the user says nothing in response to the revealing of an item and audibly gives the answer if the user still does not respond. The computer recognizes a correct identifying of an item by the user with an indicia, and with a coloured font when the user identifies the same item correctly under different covers. The computer stores correct reading of words in sound files and at end of the game, the computer reveals all items and identifies them back in at least one of the user's voice and alternatively in a computer digitized voice.
