Crop JournalOne-third of the global population is affected by micronutrient deficiency, particularly folate. Although folate synthesis has been relatively well characterized, few folate-related genes in maize have been cloned, and the molecular mechanism regulating ...

Evaluation of African-bred maize germplasm lines for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation [PDF]
, 2016 Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, contaminate maize grain and threaten human food and feed safety. Plant resistance is considered the best strategy for reducing aflatoxin accumulation. Six maize germplasm lines, TZAR101–TZAR106, were

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Tumor‐tropic human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were used as delivery vehicles for magnetotheranostic gold–iron oxide nanoflowers. Magnetic particle imaging of the iron component demonstrated widespread intratumoral distribution and sustained retention in contrast to injection of naked nanoflowers.

Genetic divergence study in maize inbred lines (Zea mays)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014 The genetic divergence study in 46 maize inbred lines was conducted based on Mahalanobis D2 statistics by using Tocher’s canonical (vector) and Euclidean methods at Maize (Zea mays L.) Breeding Research Sub-Station, Poonch during 2009-2011.

Gourd‐Inspired Design of Unit Cell with Multiple Gradients for Physiological‐Range Pressure Sensing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Gourd‐shaped micro‐dome arrays with coordinated modulus, conductivity, and geometric gradients co‐optimize sensitivity and linearity in piezoresistive tactile sensors. Under pressure, a solid upper dome embeds into a porous lower dome, triggering rapid contact‐area growth and series‐to‐parallel conduction, enabling unsaturated, intensity‐resolved ...

Optimum schemes for hybrid maize breeding with doubled haploids [PDF]
, 2011 In hybrid maize breeding, the doubled haploid technique is increasingly replacing conventional recurrent selfing for the development of new lines. In addition, novel statistical methods have become available as a result of enhanced computing facilities ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

LociScan, a tool for screening genetic marker combinations for plant variety discrimination
Crop JournalTo reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of plant genetic marker fingerprinting for variety discrimination, it is desirable to identify the optimal marker combinations. We describe a marker combination screening model based on the genetic algorithm
