The invention provides a gene that plays an important role in CO2 fixation in Agave. Overexpression of the gene significantly improved photosynthetic performance, water-use efficiency and root growth in model plant Nicotiana sylvestris (tobacco).
The valorization of lignin-derived biomass will be critical for the economic viability of lignocellulose-based biorefineries.
This invention provides a novel approach for measuring, manipulating, and detecting charged colloidal particles and biomaterials using a simple microfluidic setup.
In the study of human cancer related genes, we discovered that a human and plant gene have conserved functions.
One of the key choices in a metabolic engineering project is the identification of a suitable host strain. Even within a given species, variations between lineages can have significant, unpredictable effects on productivity.
BESC-35 and BESC-876 are two loss of function alleles of PtEPSP-TF. The loss of the DNA binding activity and transcriptional activity of the two alleles are due to amino acid substitution at position 142 and 364.
The invention provides a novel enzyme for CO2 fixation in the crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) pathway. This enzyme has no need for activation. It will facilitate the engineering of CAM into non-CAM plants to enhance water use efficiency and drought tolerance.
Invasive microbes, causing diseases such as sudden oak death and chestnut blight, negatively impact forest health, affecting ecosystems and economies around the world.
Clostridium thermocellum converts lignocellulosic biomass to a mixture of fermentation products, including ethanol, but it also produces amino acids as fermentation products.
The invention relates to lasers and more specifically to a fiber delivered, stable, narrow spectral line-width, high power diode laser system for spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) of 3He.
