Surface‐Capped Protein Nanoparticles for Nonviral Gene Delivery

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developing simple, safe, and efficient nonviral delivery systems remains a significant challenge in bioengineering. Nanoparticles offer promising gene delivery capabilities with reduced toxicity; however, long‐standing challenges related to effective plasmid encapsulation and delivery exist.

Exploring opportunities around climate-smart breeding for future food and nutrition security [PDF]

, 2019
There is a 95% chance that warming will exceed 2°C by the end of the century (Raftery et al. 2017). Global crop productivity is projected to fall by 5-10 % per degree of warming (Challinor et al.

Nitroxide‐Mediated Photo‐Polymerization: A Swiss Army Knife for Microfluidic Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This article illustrates the application of NMP2 to the rapid (less than 1 h) photostructuring and sealing of model structures intended for microfluidic applications. Remarkably, the careful design of resin composition allows completing these steps by simply spreading bare monomer (i.e., no added photoinitiator) on top of the bottom layer embedding ...

Haploid technologies in maize breeding

, 2018
A genotype with an ability to induce maternal haploids in vivo, haploid inducer Stock 6, was developed by Ed. Coe in 1959 and that was a breakthrough in the implementation of haploid technologies in maize breeding and research. However, using such technologies in large breeding programs in different environments has required a significant improvement ...

Micro Elastofluidics for Tuneable Droplet Merging

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This technical paper provides a proof of concept of fully flexible and stretchable microfluidic technology for tuneable droplet mixing and merging. The phenomenon is justified through theoretical, numerical and experimental studies. ABSTRACT Droplet microfluidics enables precise handling of discrete fluid volumes at the microscale, with broad ...

Pyramiding of favorable haplotypes of major QTLs for yield-related traits to improve maize (Zea mays L.) productivity

Agriculture Communications
Although numerous genetic loci related to maize (Zea mays L.) yield have been identified, their variability across germplasms shows challenges to apply them in breeding.
