Engineering control of rhizobacteria for plant growth promotion by Green, PWL

“…The rhizopine system was used to demonstrate tight transcriptional control of the NifA master transcriptional regulator of <em>nif</em> genes for nitrogen fixation <em>in vitro</em>, thereby developing a rhizopine responsive diazotrophic strain which can be assayed for plant growth promotion on rhizopine producing barley lines. To test the feasibility of controlled synthetic symbiosis in a nodule environment, rhizopine control of nitrogen fixation was assayed in the model symbiotic rhizobium <em>S. meliloti</em>. …”

Elevated reactive oxygen species can drive the alternative lengthening of telomeres pathway in ATRX-null cancers by Goncalves, T, Cunniffe, S, Ma, T, Mattis, N, Rose, A, Kent, T, Mole, D, Geiller, HB, van Bijsterveldt, L, Humphrey, T, Hammond, E, Gibbons, R, Clynes, D, Rose, A

“…We also demonstrate that elevation of ROS can trigger over-activity of the ALT pathway in osteosarcoma and glioma cell lines, resulting in excessive DNA damage and cell death. …”

Physical properties of keropok (fried crisps) in relation to the amylopectin content of the starch flours by Mohamed, Suhaila, Abdullah, Norakiah, Muthu, Mangayar Karasi

“…Linear expansion, oil absorption and elasticity were positively correlated to the total amylopectin content in the whole flour (r2 = 0.99, 0.97 and 0.97 respectively). The best fitted lines for prediction of linear expansion, oil absorption and elasticity of the fried crisps were 21y ≦ 0.35x ‐ 162, y=0.15x‐ 74 and y=0.0008x‐0.41 respectively, where x is the amylopectin content of the whole flour. …”

Distribution and cycling of terrigenous dissolved organic carbon in peatland-draining rivers and coastal waters of Sarawak, Borneo by Martin, Patrick, Cherukuru, Nagur, Tan, Ashleen S. Y., Sanwlani, Nivedita, Mujahid, Aazani, Müller, Moritz

“…DOC and CDOM showed conservative mixing with seawater except in the largest river (the Rajang), where DOC concentrations in the estuary were elevated, most likely due to inputs from the extensive peatlands within the Rajang Delta. …”

Potential biological control agents of Geosmithia morbida restrict fungal pathogen growth via mycoparasitism and antibiosis by Onufrak, Aaron J., Gazis, Romina, Gwinn, Kimberly, Klingeman, William, Khodaei, Sima, Perez Oñate, Luis I., Finnell, Autumn, Givens, Spencer, Chen, Cristine, Holdridge, David R., Hadziabdic, Denita

“…Additionally, one metabolite-producing Trichoderma isolate, TN4-47, completely inhibited the growth of all three G. morbida isolates across all tested metabolite concentrations and had comparatively greater tolerance to juglone compared to other Trichoderma isolates. Future lines of research should focus on characterizing the active antagonistic compound present in the metabolite filtrates, determine the mode of action of the active component(s), and elucidate how abiotic and biotic factors may influence the growth, persistence, and antagonistic activity of candidate biological control agents in planta.…”

Improved electrical performance of Erbium silicide Schottky diodes formed by pre-RTA amorphization of Si by Tang, L. J., Tan, Eu Jin, Pey, Kin Leong, Chi, Dong Zhi, Lee, Pooi See

“…Erbium silicide Schottky diodes formed on Si(001) substrate using rapid thermal annealing method show degraded Schottky-barrier height ϕ_Beff and ideality factor due to the presence of silicide-induced microstructural defects which are likely sources of trap states. A method to improve the ϕ_Beff and of the diodes utilizing in situ Ar plasma cleaning to induce a light amorphization of the Si(001) substrate is proposed. …”
