Postharvest wounding treatment influences flavone production and biological activities of the hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis by Hyeon Ji Yeo, Su Young Shin, Sang Un Park, Chang Ha Park

“…Results In this study, we obtained hairy roots, which are considered natural genetically modified organisms, from S. baicalensis leaves in vitro using wild Agrobacterium rhizogenes (A. rhizogenes) R1000 and investigated the effects of postharvest wounding treatment on their flavone production and in vitro antimicrobial properties. …”

Eu:CROPIS AIV Program: Challenges and Solutions for a Spin-Stabilized Satellite Containing Biology by Toni Delovski, Catherin Düvel, Fabian Greif, Ansgar Heidecker, Sebastian Kottmeier, Olaf Mierheim, Falk Nohka, Fabian Orlowski-Feldhusen

“…A secondary payload (“PowerCells”) by the NASA Ames Research Center also utilizes the artificial gravity to conduct growth experiments on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These payloads and the system design imposed constraints which affected the Assembly Integration and Verification (AIV) program in various ways and created challenges for the relatively small team to find solutions for. …”
