ADHESIVE COMPOSITION OF LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYAMINOPOLYAMIDE-E PICHLOROHYDRIN (PAE) RESIN AND PROTEIN.

摘要

The invention is directed to compositions containing polyamidoamine-epihalohydrin resins (PAE resins) of low molecular weight and a soy protein or lignin in which the weight ratio of protein or lignin to PAE is 100:0.1 to 0.1:100. The invention is also directed to the use of the compositions as adhesives for binding wood materials. The invention is directed to compositions containing polyamidoamine-epihalohydrin resins (PAE resins) of low molecular weight and a soy protein or lignin in which the weight ratio of protein or lignin to PAE is 100:0.1 to 0.1:100. The invention is also directed to the use of the compositions as adhesives for binding wood materials. Methods and materials for modulating (e.g., increasing or decreasing) carotenoid levels in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding carotenoid -modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased carotenoid levels and plant products produced from plants having increased carotenoid levels.
