Provided is a conductive paste which contains an inexpensive metal, such as copper or aluminum, as an electrode wiring material and has oxidation resistance that enables the paste to withstand a high-temperature process performed in an oxidizing atmosphere and an electronic part equipped with electrode wiring formed from the paste. The electronic part in accordance with the present invention is equipped with electrode wiring that comprises a conductive glass phase containing transition metals and phosphorus, metal particles, and none of the substances prohibited by the RoHS directive. The electronic part is characterized in that each of the transition metals contained in the conductive glass phase is present in the state of having a plurality of oxidation numbers and that the proportion of the atoms which have the largest oxidation number for each transition metal satisfies a given relationship.

Disclosed are peptides that induce an active plant response, but not a hypersensitive response, when applied to plant tissue. These peptides also preferably exhibit improved solubility, stability, resistance to chemical degradation, or a combination of these properties. Use of these peptides or fusion polypeptides, or DNA constructs encoding the same, for modulating plant biochemical signaling, imparting disease resistance to plants, enhancing plant growth, imparting tolerance to biotic stress, imparting tolerance and resistance to abiotic stress, imparting desiccation resistance to cuttings removed from ornamental plants, imparting post-harvest disease or post-harvest desiccation resistance to a fruit or vegetable, or enhancing the longevity of fruit or vegetable ripeness are also disclosed.

A process for producing an enzyme-resistant starch uses an aqueous feed composition that comprises (i) starch that contains at least about 50% by weight amylose, (ii) water, and (iii) alcohol. The concentration of starch in the feed composition is between about 5% and about 50% by weight, and the pH of the feed composition is between about 3.5 and about 6.5. In a first heating step, the feed composition is heated to a temperature between about 130-170° C. for about 0.1-3.0 hours. The feed composition is cooled to a temperature between about 4-70° C. for about 0.1-6.0 hours. In a second heating step, the feed composition is heated to a temperature between about 110-150° C. for about 0.1-10.0 hours. The starch is separated from the majority of the water and alcohol and is dried.

A biologically active complex of lactoferrin with a branched non-peptide hydrophilic polymer, one example of which is represented by the following formula [I]:

LF-[X-L_p-R—(Y_p-POLY)_q]_n   [I]

Wherein LF is lactoferrin, X is a linkage generated by reaction of functional groups, L is a linker, R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having at least 3 carbon atoms, Y is a heteroatom linkage, POLY is a non-peptide hydrophilic polymer, p is 0 or 1, q is an integer of 2 to 10, and n is an integer of 1 to 10.

The present invention relates to isolated DNA molecules that encode proteins or polypeptides which elicit a hypersensitive response in plants. One aspect of the present invention involves an isolated DNA molecule that encodes the HopPtoP protein of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. The isolated DNA molecules can be used to impart disease resistance, stress resistance, and enhanced growth to plants or plants grown from treated seeds, to control insects on plants or plants grown from treated plant seeds, to impart post-harvest disease or desiccation resistance in fruits or vegetables, to impart enhanced longevity of fruit or vegetable ripeness, to impart desiccation resistance to cuttings of ornamental plants, and/or promote early flowering of ornamental plants, either by topical application of the proteins or polypeptides or transgenic expression in recombinant plants or plant seeds. Expression vectors, host cells, and transgenic plants which include the DNA molecules of the present invention are disclosed.

A fabric care composition comprises a cellulase and a polymeric material which is capable of self cross-linking and/or of reacting with cellulose, wherein the polymeric material comprises one or more poly(oxyalkylene) groups having an end group which comprises one or more amino groups or derivatives of said amino groups. The compositions may be used to treat fabric as part of a laundering process and improve the surface colour definition of the fabric following multiple washings and impart pill and/or fuzz resistance to fabric during laundering.

This invention relates to a nucleic acid construct. The construct includes a nucleic acid molecule configured to silence Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV), a 5′ DNA promoter sequence, and a 3′ terminator sequence. The nucleic acid molecule, the promoter, and the terminator are operatively coupled to permit transcription of the nucleic acid molecule. The present invention also relates to expression vectors, host cells, and transgenic plants containing the nucleic acid construct of the present invention. Also disclosed are methods of imparting BBTV resistance to plants.
