Using classical tax-onomic methods, the researchers were not able to differentially assign the isolate to either the B. thuringiensis or B. cereus species. The main objec-tives of this project are to develop molecular tools that can phylogenetically position GTN-degrading bacilli and to develop economical detoxification technologies. We have attempted the first route with mixed success. There …

We identify key the data gaps that need to be filled in order to proceed with meaningful ecological risk assessments, whether they are more global/ regional in nature, or for site specific assessments. Finally, we attempt to draw conclusions from the literature about the relative sensitivity of different model organisms, as well as the importance …

Our low environmental impact assessment for plant-based manufacturing should compare favorably with fermentation based approaches to producing Griffithsin . In the latter, the complexities of purification suggest less efficient utilization of materials and higher disposal volumes, although a side-by-side environmental analysis between the two platforms was not conducted in this study.Upstream, Griffithsin expression rates were based …
To generate the sog1-7 and suv2-3 mutations, als3-1 seeds were treated with EMS. M2 seedlings were screened for mutants that suppressed the hypersensitivity of als3-1 to Al in a 0.75 mM AlCl3 gel soaked environment. EMS treated seeds were planted around the periphery of the plates and were grown for 7 days at 20°C with …
Root tips were subsequently visualized using confocal microscopy at the same magnification for each. Al treatment results in substantial increases in both cell and nuclear size for als3-1 roots, which is consistent with terminal differentiation in conjunction with endore duplication . In contrast, atr-4;als3-1, alt2-1;als3-1, and sog1- 7;als3-1 roots did not show the dramatic Al-dependent increases …

We first assessed if the 23 genes up-regulated in elf18 treated EFR:XA21:GFP could be validated by qPCR analysis. Eleven out of 23 DRGs were up-regulated in EFR:XA21:GFP rice leaves after elf18 treatment. Transcripts of the remaining 12 candidate genes were detectable by qPCR amplification but were not up-regulated in elf18 treated EFR:XA21:GFP leaves . We …

A mix of accumulation and suppression of terpenoids and an increase of methoxyphenols was observed in the leaves of ANE-root-treated plants. Chemical enrichment analyses broadly revealed classes of metabolites that were induced or suppressed in AA- or ANE-treated plants. To examine which specific variables provide the strongest discriminatory power between the two treatment groups, a two-group …
For example, Jinhu villagers consider the Guoqiang company’s waste of arable land to be incomprehensible. Thus, a few peasants tried to grow rice on fallow land they had previously plowed. However, they were forced to stop. The “subsistence ethic” is evident in Mrs. Tang’s husband and father-in-law, both of whom believe that a peasant has …
Phosphate is well-known for its ability to covalently bond to metal oxides,27,28 giving the potential to significantly alter their surface properties. Figure 5 shows that even at relatively low concentrations of PO4 3− , the ζ-potential of nano-CuO switches from positive to negative and becomes increasingly negative with increasing PO4 3− concentrations. This change in ζ-potential …
To date, many rhizosphere microbiome studies and growth chambers systems focus on the impact of plant developmental stage, genotype and soil type on microbial composition and function . On the other hand, predation as a driver in the rhizosphere microbiome remains understudied. For instance, protists are abundant in the soil and are active consumers of …
