Breeding strategies for temperate hardwoods [PDF]
Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2005 Temperate hardwoods include both genera grown under traditional long-rotation silvicultural regimes, such as Fraxinus and Quercus , and those such as Eucalyptus or Salix grown as shortrotation plantations. Strategies for breeding temperate hardwoods have developed signifi cantly over the past 20 years, informed by conceptual, technological and ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...
