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

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 ...

A process engineering approach to increase organoid yield
Development, 2017 Temporal manipulation of the in vitro environment and growth factors can direct differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into organoids, aggregates with multiple tissue-specific cell types and three-dimensional structure mimicking native organs. A mechanistic understanding of early organoid formation is essential for improving the robustness of ...
