JCRf1 Fall Bearing Red Raspberry ( Caroline )
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006This invention is a unique fall bearing red raspberry cultivar, JCRf1. The fruit of the new species is 25% larger than the standard fall bearing cultivar for the region ‘Heritage.’ It also ripens fruit 3 weeks earlier in the fall than ‘Heritage’ which allows culture in areas further north than now attempted. The species is particularly adapted to...

Isolation of a Plant Promoter that Directs Gene Expression to the Root Cap and Can be Used to Target, to the Environment, Genes Beneficial for Plant Growth
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006This invention provides an AtCel5 gene promoter that is expressed exclusively in root cap cells of both primary and secondary roots of plants. AtCel5 is a soluble and secreted protein that plays a roll in sloughing of root cap cells from the root tip. Sloughing is critical because it assists the growing root in penetrating the soil. In...

A Guard Cell-Specific Tool for Molecular Manipulation of Drought Tolerance/Water Loss in Plants
Published Thursday, November 9, 2006In response to sunlight, drought and other stimuli, guard cells control the opening and closing of microscopic stomatal pores on leaves of plants through which the plant gives off water vapor and oxygen to the atmosphere and takes in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Guard cells thereby moderate the amount of water and carbon dioxide in plants...

Enrichment of Zinc and Cadmium in Phytoaccumulator Biomass
Published Wednesday, July 21, 2004"Phytomining refers to the extraction of metals from metal-accumulating plants. Known as hyperaccumulators, such plants can be grown in areas that are toxic to other life, such as mining sites contaminated with heavy metals. They can also be grown in soil that contains trace metals. Phytomining nickel, for example, can occur in soil with as little...

JEF-b1 Fall Bearing Red Raspberry ( Anne )
Published Sunday, June 1, 2003This invention is a unique fall bearing red raspberry cultivar known as JEF-b1. The fruit of the new species is 50% larger than the standard fall bearing cultivar ‘Heritage.’ Though JEF-b1 is somewhat lower yielding than ‘Heritage,’ it is much more flavorful. The species is particularly adapted to the growing conditions found in the eastern United...

Method for Altering the Metabolism of a Plant
Published Monday, April 5, 1999Scientists at the Salisbury University of Maryland ‘s Eastern Shore and at the University of Missouri have demonstrated increased yield of specific plant products by isolating symbionts from plants exposed to non-traditional growing conditions and introducing the isolated symbionts in numbers to plants growing under normal conditions. Interesting...

JEF-f1 Fall Bearing Red Raspberry ( Josephine )
Published Tuesday, October 21, 1997Fall bearing red raspberry plant. It is productive but later in the season than all of the cultivars known to us to be presently in use. This characteristic makes it suitable for completing the season in California, the Mid Atlantic States and in the southern Mid West. As this cultivar was tested as a primocane bearer, meaning all...

A Method for Improving the Germinability of Seeds
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996The germination rate of crop seeds influences the final yield of crops planted by a farmer, yet currently there is no effective method for ensuring a high seed germination rate. In particular, seeds that have been stored for any length of time tend to show lower germination rates over time.A researcher at Salisbury State University, in...
