Relationship between seed technology research and federal plant breeding programs

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 1998
This paper deals with the contributions seed technology can provide for soybean breeding programs for seed quality. Efforts can be placed on seed quality assurance (DIACOM) to assist the production system, from genetic up to certified seed in releasing a

Winter Canola Soil Preparation x Fertility Timing Trial Dr. Heather [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Although winter canola is a relatively new crop to the Northeast, it has the potential to be utilized in rotations to break pest and disease cycles or as an oilseed crop for high quality culinary oils or on-farm fuel production.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Organic farming and gene transfer from genetically modified crops [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
This is the final report of MAFF/Defra project OF0157. Genetically modified (GM) crops cannot be released into the environment and used as food, feed, medicines or industrial processing before they have passed through a rigorous and internationally ...

Crucial parameters for precise copy number variation detection in formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded solid cancer samples

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that copy number variations (CNVs) can be reliably detected in formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) solid cancer samples using ultra‐low‐pass whole‐genome sequencing, provided that key (pre)‐analytical parameters are optimized.

The agronomic mechanism of root lodging resistance and yield stability for sweet corn in response to planting density and nitrogen rates at different planting dates

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
A three-cycle field experiment was conducted to investigate the underlying agronomic mechanism on modulating the root lodging resistance and yield stability of sweet corn in response to the planting density and nitrogen rate during different growth ...

Seed provision and dryland crops in the semiarid regions of Eastern Kenya: [PDF]

open access: yes
"Over the last two decades, several seed-related programs have been initiated in eastern Kenya to improve farmers' access to quality seeds of dryland cereals and legumes. They are provided during two occasions, regular and emergency times. But very often,

Economic and agronomic feasibility of organic vegetable seed production in the UK, and subsequent seed quality (OF0166) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This is the final report of Defra project OF0166. There is a longer summary at the start of the attached main report. For many farmers and growers, a move to organic production presents major challenges.

Combining antibody conjugates with cytotoxic and immune‐stimulating payloads maximizes anti‐cancer activity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Methods to improve antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) treatment durability in cancer therapy are needed. We utilized ADCs and immune‐stimulating antibody conjugates (ISACs), which are made from two non‐competitive antibodies, to enhance the entry of toxic payloads into cancer cells and deliver immunostimulatory agents into immune cells.
