A PHOSPHITE DEHYDROGENASE VARIANT WITH PROMISCUOUS ACCESS TO NICOTINAMIDE COFACTOR POOLS SUSTAINS FAST PHOSPHITE-DEPENDENT GROWTH OF TRANSPLASTOMIC CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII

A Phosphite Dehydrogenase Variant with Promiscuous Access to Nicotinamide Cofactor Pools Sustains Fast Phosphite-Dependent Growth of Transplastomic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Heterologous expression of the NAD+-dependent phosphite dehydrogenase (PTXD) bacterial enzyme from Pseudomonas stutzerii enables selective growth of transgenic organisms read more by using phosphite as sole phosphorous source.Combining phosphite fertilization with nuclear expression of the ptxD transgene was shown to be an alternative to herbicides

Polydopamine/poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) Co-deposition coatings triggered by CuSO4/H2O2 on implants for improved surface hemocompatibility and antibacterial activity

Implanted biomaterials such as medical catheters are prone to be adhered by proteins, platelets and color touch 7/97 bacteria due to their surface hydrophobicity characteristics, and then induce related infections and thrombosis.Hence, the development of a versatile strategy to endow surfaces with antibacterial and antifouling functions is particul

Genome-wide analysis for root and leaf architecture traits associated with drought tolerance at the seedling stage in a highly ecologically diverse wheat population

Drought stress occurred at early growth stages in wheat affecting the following growth stages.Therefore, selecting promising drought-tolerant genotypes with highly adapted traits at the seedling stage is an important task for wheat breeders and geneticists.Few research efforts were conducted on the genetic control for drought-adaptive traits at the
