PROCESS FOR THE EXTRACTION AND PURIFICATION OF LONG-CHAIN BI-FUNCTIONAL SUBERIN ACIDS FROM CORK
The present application describes a multi-step process for the isolation and purification of some of the main suberin acids from cork, based in solvent-fractionation and chromatographic techniques, affording these compounds in very-high purity, in excess of 99.5 %. Cork is first extracted with solvents and suberin is then depolymerised. The ensuing suberin acids mixtures are then partitioned using differential temperature and solvent-solubility precipitation. The fractions enriched in the different suberin acids thus obtained, are sequentially treated by medium-pressure normal phase chromatography (MPLC) and high-performance reversed-phase chromatography (HPLC), leading to individual suberin acid purities approaching 100 % purity. The process of the present invention is useful for several industrial applications to provide compounds which may be applied to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, surfactants, engineering polymers, and bio-mimetic membranes.

Methods for detecting early stage fungal infection (and especially esca or esca-like infections) in woody plants are disclosed, using X-ray tomographic imaging. In preferred embodiments, axial X-Ray tomography is employed, with radiodense regions of the tomograms indicating the location of such infection. The methods are particularly relevant to detection of esca in grapevine and kiwi. Methods for controlling such infections using such tomographic methods and direct introduction of fungicides are also disclosed

Use of recombinant polypeptides from a lupinus plant and nucleotide sequences encoding it as plant growth promoters, antimicrobial or insecticidal
Lupinus genus, as well as to the way of producing it in recombinant form and of expressing it in genetically modified plants. Due to the exceptional characteristics exhibited by this protein in what concerns: its potent antifungal and anti-Oomycete activity, which confers great potential to the protein as a fungicide, (2) its strong plant growth promoter activity, particularly notorious on unhealthy or naturally weakened plants, (3) its extreme resistance to denaturation, which allows the use of the protein under field conditions, (4) its great susceptibility to proteolytic attack, which makes it harmless to the environment and nontoxic for man, and (5) its well balanced amino acid composition. It is claimed its use, or of any modification of the protein that maintains its biological properties, as a supplement in human or animal nutrition and as a fungicide, insecticide, growth promoter, fertilizer or in the preparation of genetically modified organisms.
