I "really" believe it could be this.

Funny!
One analyst at zacks says $4 in a year. Who knows?
I slipped up a bit. While Artal may look for an equity piece they do NOT need a R/S for that. Either way is fine with me. More money for Artal if NO split however.
I fair and balanced report as you said. My feeling is CERE will begin to move as some of the deals last quarter were pushed forward to be reflected in this quarter. Those beta testing Persephone will phony up to the bar and seed sales through December will be stated. China, India etc....I see a dollar. Again Artal would like a reverse split. Maybe equity partner?
The buying will begin. Started today.
This sounds ominous. But good for CERE.

click charts; then type in cere
Awesome article. I missed it back in August. What about India. According to earlier CC results were expected by end of year? Maybe another surprise.
I agree with everything you just said. I also think most of what you asked to see will indeed come to pass. I would not mind a buyout or equity position by Artal.
I doubt very much that Artal would allow a reverse split. That means news coming by January.
Why CERE will be big in the longrun...
Google artal and weightwatchers the deal of the century
Glta
I believe our faith will be rewarded.
Let's wait til the end of the day. Still optimistic about CC tomorrow. Still thinking seed sales, Persephone update, and monetizing genetic traits.
Could it be that 100,000 shares of stop/loss was taken out.
What just happened?
The big guys have to feast. For those that wait because they fear a drop in the PPS will not be there to join the buffet until the price is over 50 cents or higher. Then you wait for the PPS to adjust lower but...sometimes it just move up again and again now you are priced out. NOT saying that is happening here. Just sayin. Best to do your DD and have a long horizon.
Not that many shorts. 500K+. You need the "big" boys to feast and then we can eat the crumbs. Does anyone think that the shelf registrations poor timing was because the Brazilian banks want more collateral in this case cash before they awarded the loans and grants to CERE? Think about it, then see if it makes sense.
I think it is a great sign.
Thursday will come soon enough. Don't forget one of the youtube videos where the manager of sales stated he thinks CERES could be the largest seed supplier in Brazil within the next 5 or 6 years. The Advisory Board was/is a big help to get Brazilian Mills to do business. A strategy urged by Artal.
Artal is in charge of the "new" marketing going on in Brazil. Look at what their branding did for weight watchers.
No worries sit tight. If you have 2-4 year time horizon CERES returns will be out of bounds. If it is shorter then you will have your money back in February. GLTY
People in the know "always" scoop the shares at a deep discount. It's OK if we get a few crumbs. "Execute The Plan" is all we ask.
Why invest only to sell at this juncture. Persphone and seed sales.....then....licensing agreements?
Qtr 3 should provide reasons for optimism and Qtr 4 validate their progress and assumptions. 2015 should spread more good news and 2016 we can start "thinking" about retirement. 2020 definitely RETIRED.
I copied the headings from yahoo post but can not corroborate findings. Sorry
The present invention also resides in host cells, including bacterial or yeast cells or plant cells, and plants that harbor constructs such as described above. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods for modulating expression of specific genes in plants by expression of the coding sequence of the constructs, by regulation of expression of one or more endogenous genes in a plant or by suppression of expression of the polynucleotides of the invention in a plant. Methods of modulation of gene expression include, without limitation, (1) inserting into a host cell additional copies of a polynucleotide comprising a coding sequence; (2) modulating an endogenous promoter in a host cell; (3) inserting antisense or ribozyme constructs into a host cell; and (4) inserting into a host cell a polynucleotide comprising a sequence encoding a variant, fragment, or fusion of the native polypeptides of the instant invention.
On and on fifty pages.

Probes and methods of the invention can also be used for detecting alternatively spliced messages within a species. Probes and methods of the invention can further be used to detect or isolate related genes in other plant species using genomic DNA (gDNA) and/or cDNA libraries. In some instances, especially when longer probes and low to moderate stringency hybridization conditions are used, the probe will hybridize to a plurality of cDNA and/or gDNA sequences of a plant. This approach is useful for isolating representatives of gene families which are identifiable by possession of a common functional domain in the gene product or which have common cis-acting regulatory sequences. This approach is also useful for identifying orthologous genes from other organisms.
The present invention also resides in constructs for modulating the expression of the genes comprised of all or a fragment of an SDF. The constructs comprise all or a fragment of the expressed SDF, or of a complementary sequence. Examples of constructs include ribozymes comprising RNA encoded by an SDF or by a sequence complementary thereto, antisense constructs, constructs comprising coding regions or parts thereof, constructs comprising promoters, introns, untranslated regions, scaffold attachment regions, methylating regions, enhancing or reducing regions, DNA and chromatin conformation modifying sequences, etc. Such constructs can be constructed using viral, plasmid, bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), plasmid artificial chromosomes (PACs), autonomous plant plasmids, plant artificial chromosomes or other types of vectors and exist in the plant as autonomous replicating sequences or as DNA integrated into the genome. When inserted into a host cell, the construct is, preferably, functionally integrated with, or operatively linked to, a heterologous polynucleotide. For instance, a coding region from an SDF might be operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant.
The present invention also resides in probes useful for isolating and identifying nucleic acids that hybridize to an SDF of the invention. The probes can be of any length, but typically are 12-2000 nucleotides in length; more typically, 15 to 200 nucleotides long; even more typically, 18 to 100 nucleotides long.
Yet another object of the invention is a method of isolating and/or identifying nucleic acids using the following steps: (a) contacting a probe of the instant invention with a polynucleotide sample under conditions that permit hybridization and formation of a polynucleotide duplex; and (b) detecting and/or isolating the duplex of step (a).
The conditions for hybridization can be from low to moderate to high stringency conditions. The sample can include a polynucleotide having a sequence unique in a plant genome. Probes and methods of the invention are useful, for example, without limitation, for mapping of genetic traits and/or for positional cloning of a desired fragment of genomic DNA.
SUMMARY
The present invention comprises polynucleotides, such as complete cDNA sequences and/or sequences of genomic DNA encompassing complete genes, fragments of genes, and/or regulatory elements of genes and/or regions with other functions and/or intergenic regions, hereinafter collectively referred to as Sequence-Determined DNA Fragments (SDFs) or sometimes collectively referred to as “genes or gene components”, or sometimes as “genes, gene components or products”, from different plant species, particularly corn, wheat, soybean, rice and Arabidopsis thaliana, and other plants and mutants, variants, fragments or fusions of said SDFs and polypeptides or proteins derived therefrom. In some instances, the SDFs span the entirety of a protein-coding segment. In some instances, the entirety of an mRNA is represented. Other objects of the invention that are also represented by SDFs of the invention are control sequences, such as, but not limited to, promoters. Complements of any sequence of the invention are also considered part of the invention.
Other objects of the invention are polynucleotides comprising exon sequences, polynucleotides comprising intron sequences, polynucleotides comprising introns together with exons, intron/exon junction sequences, 5' untranslated sequences, and 3' untranslated sequences of the SDFs of the present invention. Polynucleotides representing the joinder of any exons described herein, in any arrangement, for example, to produce a sequence encoding any desirable amino acid sequence are within the scope of the invention.
When the molecular and genetic basis for different plant characteristics are understood, a wide variety of polynucleotides, both endogenous polynucleotides and created variants, polypeptides, cells, and whole organisms, can be exploited to engineer old and new plant traits in a vast range of organisms including plants. These traits can range from the observable morphological characteristics, through adaptation to specific environments to biochemical composition and to molecules that the plants (organisms) exude. Such engineering can involve tailoring existing traits, such as increasing the production of taxol in yew trees, to combining traits from two different plants into a single organism, such as inserting the drought tolerance of a cactus into a corn plant. Molecular and genetic knowledge also allows the creation of new traits. For example, the production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals that are not native to particular species or the plant kingdom as a whole.
The present invention relates to isolated polynucleotides from plants that include a complete coding sequence, or a fragment thereof, that is expressed. In addition, the present invention relates to polypeptides or proteins encoded by the coding sequence of these polynucleotides. The present invention also relates to isolated polynucleotides that represent regulatory regions of genes. The present invention also relates to isolated polynucleotides that represent untranslated regions of genes. The present invention further relates to the use of these isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides and proteins.
There are more than 300,000 species of plants. They show a wide diversity of forms, ranging from delicate liverworts, adapted for life in a damp habitat, to cacti, capable of surviving in the desert. The plant kingdom includes herbaceous plants, such as corn, whose life cycle is measured in months, to the giant redwood tree, which can live for thousands of years. This diversity reflects the adaptations of plants to survive in a wide range of habitats. This is seen most clearly in the flowering plants (phylum Angiospermophyta), which are the most numerous, with over 250,000 species. They are also the most widespread, being found from the tropics to the arctic.
New patent today.
The present invention provides DNA molecules that constitute fragments of the genome of a plant, and polypeptides encoded thereby. The DNA molecules are useful for specifying a gene product in cells, either as a promoter or as a protein coding sequence or as an UTR or as a 3' termination sequence, and are also useful in controlling the behavior of a gene in the chromosome, in controlling the expression of a gene or as tools for genetic mapping, recognizing or isolating identical or related DNA fragments, or identification of a particular individual organism, or for clustering of a group of organisms with a common trait. One of ordinary skill in the art, having this data, can obtain cloned DNA fragments, synthetic DNA fragments or polypeptides constituting desired sequences by recombinant methodology known in the art or described herein.

By the way aren't we waiting for an update on rice in India?
I agree. Seed sales and Persephone on deck.
awesome!
News keeps on rolling even if only in Brazil.
Extension or move to another OTC market. Kior already did so. R/S does not make sense since our biggest supporter would be included in the reverse split.
