EFFECTIVE MECHANISMS FOR IMPROVING SEED OIL PRODUCTION IN PENNYCRESS (THLASPI ARVENSE L.) HIGHLIGHTED BY INTEGRATION OF COMPARATIVE METABOLOMICS AND TRANSCRIPTOMICS

Effective Mechanisms for Improving Seed Oil Production in Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) Highlighted by Integration of Comparative Metabolomics and Transcriptomics

Pennycress is a potentially lucrative biofuel crop due to its high content of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, and because it uses non-conventional pathways to achieve efficient oil production.However, metabolic engineering is required to improve pennycress oilseed content and make it an economically viable source of aviation fuel.Research is wa

NPR-1 Modulates Plasticity in C. elegans Stress-Induced Sleep

Summary: Sleep is beneficial yet antagonistic to critical functions such as foraging and escape, and we aim to understand how these competing drives are functionally integrated.C.elegans, which lives in reduced oxygen environments, engages in developmentally timed sleep (DTS) during larval stage transitions and engages in stress-induced sleep (SIS)

Simulation of the Membrane Process of CO2 Capture from Flue Gas via Commercial Membranes While Accounting for the Presence of Water Vapor

Carbon capture and storage is one of the potential options for reducing CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants while preserving their operation.Mathematical modeling was carried out for a one-stage membrane process of carbon dioxide capture from the flue gases of coal-fired power plants using commercial gas separation membranes.Our calculations
