SNP identification and marker assay development for high-throughput selection of soybean cyst nematode resistance
(2015-04-18)
Abstract
Background
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most economically devastating pathogen of soybean. Two resistance loci, Rhg1 and Rhg4 primarily contribute resistance ...
Dehydratase Mediated 1-Propanol Production in Metabolically Engineered Escherichia coli
(2011-11-10)
Abstract
Background
With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels, the question of meeting the global energy demand is of great importance in the near future. As an effective solution, production of higher alcohols ...
Biosynthesis of caffeic acid in Escherichia coli using its endogenous hydroxylase complex
(2012-04-04)
Abstract
Background
Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is a natural phenolic compound derived from the plant phenylpropanoid pathway. Caffeic acid and its phenethyl ester (CAPE) have attracted increasing attention ...
PerPlot & PerScan: Tools for analysis of DNA curvature-related periodicity in genomic nucleotide sequences
(2011-11-28)
Abstract
Background
Periodic spacing of short adenine or thymine runs phased with DNA helical period of ~10.5 bp is associated with intrinsic DNA curvature and deformability, which play important roles in DNA-protein ...
A strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae evolved for fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass displays improved growth and fermentative ability in high solids concentrations and in the presence of inhibitory compounds
(2011-11-10)
Abstract
Background
Softwoods are the dominant source of lignocellulosic biomass in the northern hemisphere, and have been investigated worldwide as a renewable substrate for cellulosic ethanol production. One challenge ...

Green tea polyphenols supplementation and Tai Chi exercise for postmenopausal osteopenic women: safety and quality of life report
(2010-12-09)
Abstract
Background
Evidence suggests that both green tea polyphenols (GTP) and Tai Chi (TC) exercise may benefit bone health in osteopenic women. However, their safety in this population has never been systematically ...
Morphological Changes in Diabetic Kidney Are Associated with Increased O-GlcNAcylation of Cytoskeletal Proteins Including Alpha-Actinin 4
(2011-09-21)
Abstract
Purpose
The objective of the present study is to identify proteins that change in the extent of the modification with O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAcylation) in the kidney from diabetic model Goto-Kakizaki ...
The zinc-ribbon domain of Helicobacter pylori HP0958: requirement for RpoN accumulation and possible roles of homologs in other bacteria
(2011-08-23)
Abstract
Background
Helicobacter pylori HP0958 protein (FlgZ) prevents the rapid turnover of RpoN (σ54), a transcription factor required for expression of several flagellar genes in H. pylori. FlgZ possesses a ...
Associations of quality of life with physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, and physical inactivity in a free living, multiethnic population in Hawaii: a longitudinal study
(2010-11-22)
Abstract
Introduction
High intake of fruit and vegetables and being physically active are associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases. In the current study, we examined the associations of physical activity, fruit ...
