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 can be enhanced.

Redox‐engineering enhances maize thermotolerance and grain yield in the field

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 ...

Pseudo-solidification of dredged marine soils with cement - fly ash for reuse in coastal development [PDF]

, 2015
The dislodged and removed sediments from the seabed, termed dredged marine soils, are generally classified as a waste material requiring special disposal procedures.

Symmetric polarization insensitive directional couplers fabricated by femtosecond laser waveguide writing [PDF]

, 2018
We study analytically the polarization behaviour of directional couplers composed of birefringent waveguides, showing that they can induce polarization transformations that depend on the specific input-output path considered.

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.

A hyperbolic model of chemotaxis on a network: a numerical study [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper we deal with a semilinear hyperbolic chemotaxis model in one space dimension evolving on a network, with suitable transmission conditions at nodes. This framework is motivated by tissue-engineering scaffolds used for improving wound healing.

Photosynthetic antenna engineering to improve crop yields

Planta, 2017
Evidence shows that decreasing the light-harvesting antenna size of the photosystems in tobacco helps to increase the photosynthetic productivity and plant canopy biomass accumulation under high-density cultivation conditions. Decreasing, or truncating, the chlorophyll antenna size of the photosystems can theoretically improve photosynthetic solar ...

Larger Two-Dimensional Photonic Band Gaps [PDF]

, 1996
Absolute photonic band gaps in two-dimensional square and honeycomb lattices of circular cross-section rods can be increased by reducing the structure symmetry.

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 ...

Atomically engineered interfaces yield extraordinary electrostriction

, 2021
Abstract Electrostriction is a property of all the dielectric materials where an applied electric field induces a mechanical deformation proportional to the square of the electric field. The magnitude of the effect is usually minuscule. However, recent discoveries of symmetry-breaking phenomena at interfaces opens up the possibility to extend ...
