Resistance to Phomopsis Seed Decay in Soybean [PDF]
ISRN Agronomy, 2013 Phomopsis seed decay (PSD) of soybean is caused primarily by the fungal pathogen Phomopsis longicolla Hobbs along with other Phomopsis and Diaporthe spp. This disease causes poor seed quality and suppresses yield in most soybean-growing countries. Infected soybean seeds can be symptomless, but are typically shriveled, elongated, cracked, and have a ...

Wood Decay Resistance Employing Nanoparticle Protective Systems
International Journal of Conservation Science, 2023 In this paper, nanoparticle dispersions (nanosilver, copper nano oxide, nanozinc, and nanosilica) have been formulated to be used as protective impregnants. Since all the components of the formulations could be charged according to the pH of the medium, the solutions were formulated with the two profiles of pH=3 and pH=8 (pH changes were handled with ...

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 ...
