Fonio (Digitaria exilis), an orphan millet crop, is the oldest indigenous crop in West Africa. Although the yield is low due to pre-domestication characteristics, the quick maturation time, drought tolerance, and the ability to thrive on poor soils make
Downy mildew is a destructive grapevine disease caused by Plasmopara viticola (Berk. and Curt.) Berl. and de Toni, which can only be controlled by intensive fungicide treatments. Natural sources of resistance from wild grapevine (Vitis) species are used
This consensus view is based upon a long list of published studies performed over the last century that links muscle glycogen stores to high intensity exercise. It has also been reinforced by the clinical experience of many physicians, whose patients following low carbohydrate formula or food diets...
utilizing valuable information generated by the sequencing of chloroplast genomes described in previous sections. This table includes the most complete list of chloroplast genomes that have been engineered for enhanced agronomic traits or the production of different bio-products, including biopolymers...
When cultivated in an anaerobic bio-electrochemical system (BES),P. putidaproduces different products depending on the substrate used [13,14,15,16]. With glucose, the microbe primarily produces 2-ketogluconate (2KG) via periplasmic oxidation. Commercially, 2KG is of relevance in the food, cosmeti...
Xenorhabdus innexi is a bacterial symbiont of Steinernema scapterisci nematodes, which is a cricket-specialist parasite and together the nematode and bacteria infect and kill crickets. Curiously, X. innexi expresses a potent extracellular mosquitocidal t
Introduction Ongoing global warming leads to rapid changes in precipitation patterns and temperature, resulting in increased drought stress in many regions worldwide, which poses challenges for crop productivity and subsequently global food security [1,2], as it induces numerous adverse effects on plants...
Adoptive cell therapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immunotherapy has made tremendous progress with five CAR T therapies approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for hematological malignancies. However, CAR immunotherapy in solid tumors lags significantly behind. Some of the major hurdles ...
NC_045512.2 sequences. The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has authorized 277 SARS-CoV-2 molecular diagnostic tests. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the main molecular tests used for SARS-CoV-2. Because of the diverse mutations in the SARS-CoV-2...
membrane-bound small and large subunits (GDI3280 and GDI3281) and the cytochrome c subunit (GDI3279) of aldehyde dehydrogenase, indicating that GDI may be able to synthesize the industrially important substances such as L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and its precursor 2-keto-L-gulonic acid [60...
