Engineering sexless seeds as a path to high-yield crops. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 Global food security is hampered by the fact that today's high-yield grains are hybrids, with seeds that fail to retain all of the desired traits, necessitating ongoing rounds of breeding and selection. In contrast, seeds produced asexually are, effectively, clones of the mother plant and so retain the desired traits, greatly streamlining their ...

Reverse Engineering the Yield Curve [PDF]
, 1994 Prices of riskfree bonds in any arbitrage-free environment are governed by a pricing kernel: given a kernel, we can compute prices of bonds of any maturity we like. We use observed prices of multi-period bonds to estimate, in a log-linear theoretical setting, the pricing kernel that gave rise to them.

Engineering Escherichia coli for high-yield production of ectoine
Green Chemical Engineering, 2021 Ectoine is a natural macromolecule protector and synthesized by some extremophiles. It provides protections against radiation-mediated oxidative damages and is widely used as a bioactive ingredient in pharmaceutics and cosmetics. To meet its growing commercial demands, we engineered Escherichia coli strains for the high-yield production of ectoine. The

Beating the blues: engineering cryptochrome expression improves soybean yield [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2021 Phytochrome A overexpression can increase harvest index, as was shown 25 years ago in a breakthrough paper on tobacco ( Robson et al., 1996 ). The impact of this important discovery has, however, not been fully developed. Plants at high densities often respond strongly to nearby competitors by strong elongation of their internodes and upward bending of

Redox‐engineering enhances maize thermotolerance and grain yield in the field [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2022 SummaryIncreasing populations and temperatures are expected to escalate food demands beyond production capacities, and the development of maize lines with better performance under heat stress is desirable. Here, we report that constitutive ectopic expression of a heterologous glutaredoxin S17 from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtGRXS17) can provide ...

Parameterizing the Supernova Engine and its Effects on Remnants and Basic Yields [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Core-collapse supernova science is now entering an era where engine models are beginning to make both qualitative and quantitative predictions. Although the evidence in support of the convective engine for core-collapse supernova continues to grow, it is difficult to place quantitative constraints on this engine.

Engineering Curcumin Biosynthesis in Poplar Affects Lignification and Biomass Yield
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Lignocellulosic biomass is recalcitrant toward deconstruction into simple sugars mainly due to the presence of lignin. By engineering plants to partially replace traditional lignin monomers with alternative ones, lignin degradability and extractability ...
