Vanderbilt astronomers participate in new search for dark energy

The goal of the six-year project is to measure the spectra of 1.4 million galaxies and 160,000 quasars, extremely distant objects that shine more brightly than…

Innovation via genetic ‘googling’

Many diseases are caused by genetic mutations. Researchers can use a technique called linkage analysis to identify rough intervals on the chromosome that might…

EukaResist – Enhanced stress tolerance & increased harvest yield by iso-enzyme replacement

Method for enhancement of general stress resistance, based on improved reductant supply (NADPH) in the cytosol via Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH).

– G6PDH-isoenzyme replacement resulted in highly uniform defense responses, enhanced drought tolerance, acceler-ated flowering and increased harvest yields.

Challenge

Worldwide every year billions of US dollars worth of harvest are lost due to biotic (pathogens) and abiotic (drought, heat or salt) stress. Stress responses consume a lot of energy and thus constantly challenge plant performance. The prob-lem of elite lines with high yield in commercial crops is often compromised stress resistance due to intensive breeding. …

In Search of Wildlife-friendly Biofuels: Could Native Prairie Plants Be the Answer

In a paper published in the latest issue of the journal BioScience, David Flaspohler, Joseph Fargione and colleagues analyze the impacts on wildlife of the…
