Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Giv...
Nanotechnology opens a large scope of novel applications in the fields of plant nutrition needed to meet the future demands of the growing population because nanoparticles (NPs) have unique physicochemical properties, i.e. high surface area, high reactiv
The magnitude of the impact photosynthesis reaction has on humans has encouraged scientists, engineers, and others to wonder about exploiting the potential of this reaction in different ways. Factors such as simplicity, metabolic elasticity, diversity, shorter life ...
The NASA Applied Sciences Program, within NASA's Earth Science Division, initiated two programs to promote and facilitate the use of satellite data in the decision-making and environmental management activities of public, private sector and non-profit organizations, such as EPA, state AQ agencies, ...
Precise genome-editing platforms are versatile tools for generating specific, site-directed DNA insertions, deletions, and substitutions. The continuous enhancement of these tools has led to a revolution in the life sciences, which promises to deliver novel therapies for genetic disease. Precise genome...
1D–F) (F1,90 = 2.662, P ≤ 0.001) suggesting that IR22 had higher tolerance to planthopper feeding in these short duration bioassays. Planthopper impact declined on IR22 plants as these aged, but increased on IR62 with age producing a significant [variety × plant age] ...
Proteins are the key molecules of the cell that are involved in all cellular processes. The three-dimensional (3D) shape of a protein provides critical information that can, among many things, be used to study protein interactions, functions and the impact of missense variation. Although tremendou...
Genome-editing tools provide advanced biotechnological techniques that enable the precise and efficient targeted modification of an organism’s genome. Genome-editing systems have been utilized in a wide variety of plant species to characterize gene func
and utilize matter with nanometer-scale dimensions is known as nanotechnology. Because a material's dimensions significantly impact its characteristics at the nanoscale, particle size is crucial in nanotechnology [3,4]. The design, manufacture, and use of innovative products that interact with biologica...
A growing number of clinical trials have shown that regulatory T (Treg) cell transfer may have a favorable effect on the maintenance of self-tolerance and immune homeostasis in different conditions such as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), solid organ transplantation, type 1 diabetes, and others...
