Virulence perspective genomic research unlocks the secrets of Rhizoctonia solani associated with banded sheath blight in Barnyard Millet (Echinochloa frumentacea) by T. S. S. K. Patro, K. B. Palanna, B. Jeevan, Pallavi Tatineni, T. Tharana Poonacha, Farooq Khan, G. V. Ramesh, Anusha M. Nayak, Boda Praveen, M. Divya, N. Anuradha, Y. Sandhya Rani, T. E. Nagaraja, R. Madhusudhana, C. Tara Satyavathi, S. Koti Prasanna

“…The Gene Ontology (GO) annotation of RAP2 proteins revealed that “phosphorylation”, “membrane”, and “ATP binding” have the highest gene enrichment in the “biological process”, “cellular component” and “molecular function” domains, respectively. The genome comprises a majority of secretory proteins in the pectin lyase fold/virulence factor superfamily, which break down plant cell wall polymers to extract saccharides. …”

Die makromolekulare Charakterisierung der Gelatine by I. Tomka

“…The fact that the gelation process can be desribed by the same formalism as the crystallisation of polymers was prooved by Mercier [6]. As a conclusion of this results it could be demonstrated that scaling functions, within experimental error, described the gelation kinetics and the solution viscosity of the gelatin-water system. …”

Alternative HPLC-DAD Direct-Phase Approach to Measurement of Enantiopurity of Lactic Acid Derivatives by Maria Montrone, Cosimo Cardellicchio, Maria Annunziata M. Capozzi

“…To this end, we report the synthesis of two new LA derivatives (2-nitrobenzyl 2-hydroxypropanoate and 2,4-dinitrobenzyl 2-hydroxypropanoate) and benzyl 2-hydroxypropanoate, with a selective and non-racemizing chemical functionalization. Then, three commercially available HPLC direct-phase chiral columns are tested to achieve a method for measuring the enantiomeric purity of lactic acid derivatives. …”

lexible sensors for food monitoring. Part II: Applications by D. Luo, M. A. Nikitina, X. Xiao

“…Moreover, this article elaborates on the transduction mechanisms of the several typical transducers, with a focus on the physics behind, including the modulation of the doping level, Schottky barrier, and interfacial layer that typically cause changes in conductivity, functionality and permittivity. We also highlight the benefits and the technical challenges along with the appropriate solutions provided by the presented flexible sensors, and we also consider the potential strategies that allow overcoming limitations in power consumption, quantitatively assess the trade-offs in maintaining the quality and marketability, to optimize wireless communication and explore new sensing patterns.…”

Cell driven elastomeric particle packing in composite bioinks for engineering and implantation of stable 3D printed structures by Shira Landau, Jennifer Kieda, Ramak Khosravi, Sargol Okhovatian, Kaitlyn Ramsay, Chuan Liu, Amid Shakeri, Yimu Zhao, Karen Shen, Orit Bar-Am, Shulamit Levenberg, Scott Tsai, Milica Radisic

“…It exhibited a low shear modulus and a rapid crosslinking time, along with a high ultimate compressive strength and resistance to deformation from cellular forces and physical handling; this was attributed to packing and stress dissipation of elastomeric particles, which was confirmed via mathematical modelling. Enhanced functional assembly and stability of human iPSC-derived cardiac tissues and primary vasculature proved the utility of the composite bioink in tissue engineering. …”
