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. …”

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.…”

HiTrip: Historical trajectory interpolation for trawlers via deep learning on multi-source data by Zhao, Zhongning, Chen, Jiaxuan, Shi, Yuqi, Hong, Feng, Jiang, Guiyuan, Huang, Haiguang, Zhao, Jinhua

“…One inherent challenge for precise interpolation is the stark contrast between trawler movement patterns during steaming, characterized by straight lines, and fishing, which often involves consecutive turns. …”

Combining laser frequency combs and iodine cell calibration techniques for Doppler detection of exoplanets by Cahoy, K., Fischer, D., Spronck, J., Demille, D.

“…We propose a fiber-fed high precision spectrograph design that combines the existing ~5000-6000 A Iodine calibration system with a high-precision Laser Frequency Comb (LFC) system from ~6000-7000 A that just meets the redward side of the Iodine lines. The scientific motivation for such a system includes: a 1000 A span in the red is currently achievable with LFC systems, combining the two calibration methods increases the wavelength range by a factor of two, and moving redward decreases the 'noise' from starspots. …”

Sequence-Dependent & -Independent Effects of Intron-Mediated Enhancement (IME) by Kowal, Emma J. K.

“…In this study we report the design and execution of several massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs), interrogating the effect of tens of thousands of synthetic and natural intron sequences on gene expression in the human HEK293T and HeLa cell lines. We observe that even with random internal sequence, most of these introns splice well and trigger IME. …”
