An attachable article or device, such as a wristband, includes a flexible electronic display disposed thereon in a manner that is bendable or conformable to a user's wrist or other curved surface, and that enables various images to be displayed on the electronic display in a manner that is easily viewable to the user. The attachable article implements a messaging routine that enables a user or wearer to receive notifications of incoming messages and to selectively view incoming messages or indications thereof.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to using a haploid inducing line (whether existing or created) and transforming the haploid line so that it encodes cellular machinery capable of editing genes. The transformed haploid inducing line is used as a parent in a cross between two plants. During pollination, the parental gametes fuse to form an embryo; and the gene editing machinery is also delivered to the embryo at this time. During embryonic development, one set of parental chromosomes are lost, and the gene editing machinery operates on the remaining set of chromosomes. Thus, at least one haploid progeny with edited genes is produced from the cross.

Simultaneous gene editing and haploid induction

Biomass utilization is increasingly considered as a practical way for sustainable energy supply and long-termenvironment care around the world. In concerns with food security, starch or sugar-based bioethanol and edible-oilderivedbiodiesel are severely restricted for large scale production. Alternatively, conversion of lignocellulosic residuesfrom food crops could be considered, but due to its recalcitrance, the current biomass process is unacceptably expensive.In this context, genetic breeding of energy crops appears as a promising solution. To fulfil the global world need as bothfood and biofuel sources, energy crops are expected to be produced with higher yields and especially in marginal lands.This review focus on recent progress and patents dealing with energy plants and the challenges associated with bioenergydevelopment. We also discuss the potential use of molecular approaches including genome sequencing, molecular markers,and genetic transformation for improving specific traits or generating new cultivars of energy plants.

Development of energy plants and their potential to withstand various extreme environments.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a plant or germplasm having root increased drought tolerance and/or increased yield under non-drought conditions as compared to a control plant. A maize plant, part thereof and/or germplasm, including any progeny and/or seeds derived from a maize plant or germplasm identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided.

Restructuring a view of messages based on configurable persistence is provided. An application such as a communication application displays summaries of messages within a summary pane of a messaging user interface (UI). The messages include emails. An action is detected to reorder one of the summaries on a top location of a date section of the summary pane. Reorder options are displayed to identify a reorder time of the summary. A selection of one of the reorder options is detected as the reorder time. The summary is relocated to the top location of the date section of the summary pane to display the first summary at the top location of the date section during the reorder time.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting, and/or producing drought tolerant maize plants or germplasm. Maize plants or germplasm that have been identified, selected, and/or produced by any of the methods of the presently disclosed subject matter are also provided.
