Rational potassium manuring for arable cropping systems
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1988 AbstractInterest in potassium (K) manuring has decreased in recent years because applying K leads to no environmental problems, few soils are K deficient and K is cheaper than N. However, fresh K optimises yields, especiatly with high‐yielding crops and through its interaction with N, and K residues benefit crops in a way that often cannot be offset by

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

A new molecular seed assay to predict Ustilago nuda field infection levels
Scientific ReportsSeed health tests are performed to prevent sowing untreated seeds with problematic pathogen levels. The detection of internal seedborne pathogens like Ustilago nuda, causing loose smut in barley (Hordeum vulgare), is challenging because symptoms only ...

Crop rotation on arable and livestock farms in Slovenia
Acta agriculturae Slovenica, 2010 Despite the fact that successive sowing of maize was legally limited due to the occurrence of the corn rootworm beetle in 2003 and the integrated crop production was introduced in 2004, maize is still the most common and desired crop on arable and livestock farms in Slovenia. With a focus on the economic motives for the production farmers are gradually

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
