Engineering Escherichia coli for high-yield production of ectoine
Ectoine is a natural macromolecule protector and synthesized by some extremophiles. It provides protections against radiation-mediated oxidative damages and is widely used as a bioactive ingredient in pharmaceutics and cosmetics. To meet its growing commercial demands, we engineered Escherichia coli strains for the high-yield production of ectoine. The

Engineering Sexless Seeds as a Path to High-Yield Crops [PDF]
Global food security is hampered by the fact that today's high-yield grains are hybrids, with seeds that fail to retain all of the desired traits, necessitating ongoing rounds of breeding and selection. In contrast, seeds produced asexually are, effectively, clones of the mother plant and so retain the desired traits, greatly streamlining their ...

Parameterizing the Supernova Engine and Its Effect on Remnants and Basic Yields [PDF]
Abstract Core-collapse supernova science is now entering an era in which engine models are beginning to make both qualitative and, in some cases, quantitative predictions. Although the evidence in support of the convective engine for core-collapse supernova continues to grow, it is difficult to place quantitative constraints on this ...

Metabolic engineering for high yield synthesis of astaxanthin in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous [PDF]
AbstractAstaxanthin is a carotenoid with a number of assets useful for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Nowadays, it is mainly produced by chemical synthesis. However, the process leads to an enantiomeric mixture where the biologically assimilable forms (3R, 3′R or 3S, 3′S) are a minority.

Estimation of Crop Yield Distribution: Implication for Crop Engineering Risk
AbstractIn this paper we use parametric and nonparametric density estimation procedures to evaluate crop yield distributions in Yunnan province. Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is used to select a proper crop yield distribution. Maximum likelihood methods are explored to obtain reliable estimates.
