Plant scientists have long recognized the need to develop crops that absorb and use
nutrients more efficiently. Two approaches have been used to increase nutrient use …

In the last 40 years the amount of synthetic nitrogen (N) applied to crops has risen
drastically, resulting in significant increases in yield but with considerable impacts on the …

Fueled by advances in molecular structure determination, tools for structure‐based drug
design are proliferating rapidly. Lead discovery through searching of ligand databases with …

Plants, like animals, are obligate aerobes, but due to their inability to move, have evolved
adaptation mechanisms that enable them to survive short periods of low oxygen supply …

Human anti-pig antibodies were obtained by perfusing pig hearts (n= 4) and kidneys (n= 8)
with human AB or O plasma followed by elution with 3 M NaSCN. The antibodies were …

Globally, we are applying excessive nitrogen (N) fertilizers to our agricultural crops, which
ultimately causes nitrogen pollution to our ecosphere. The atmosphere is polluted by N2O …

Nitrogen is quantitatively the most essential nutrient for plants and a major factor limiting
crop productivity. One of the critical steps limiting the efficient use of nitrogen is the ability of …

Changes in the concentrations of free amino acids and specific organic acids were analysed
during the induction of drought stress in Brassica napus. Most of the amino acids showed a …

In his philosophic musings “Meditations” the Emperor Marcus Aurelius asks “This thing, what
is it in itself, in its own constitution? What is its substance and material? And what its causal …

The ion–molecule reactions in pure nitrogen and nitrogen containing traces of water were
studied with a pulsed electron‐beam mass spectrometer having a field‐free high‐pressure …
