Development of strategies to improve modern wheat cultivars by adopting genetic diversity from wild relatives

Stellin, Nick; Wang, Wei; Akhunov, Eduard (2022-07-28)

Bread wheat is a hexaploid plant that contains three subgenomes derived from a hybridization event between tetraploid Triticum dicoccoides and diploid Aegilops taushii. These wild ancestors of wheat offer more genetic ...
Effects of Different Sterilization Rinses on Germination of Hemp, Cannabis Sativa, for Tissue Culture

Terry, Ash; Park, Sunghun; Motolai, Gergely; Stuart, Nathan (2022-07-28)

Hemp, Cannabis sativa, is a plant valued for its medicinal properties, fiber, and oil. While the hemp industry has grown significantly in the past years, a protocol for its tissue culture has not been publicly established. ...
CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein-mediated gene editing in the plant pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

McAnany, Tomas; Rowe, David; Huang, Jun; Cook, David E (2022-07-28)

Magnaporthe oryzae, the cause of rice blast disease, is a model fungus for studying plant-pathogen interactions and a major threat to global agriculture. From changes made to their DNA, pathogens like M. oryzae have evolved ...
Increasing Oil Production in Camelina sativa Engineered to Synthesize Unusual Lipids

Davis, Isabella; Alkotami, Linah; Durrett, Timothy P (2022-07-28)

Different Euonymus species naturally produce acetyl-triacylglycerol (acTAG) in their seed oil. AcTAG are unusual structures of the triacylglycerols (TAG) typically found in vegetable oil, and have lower freezing points and ...
A Convoluted Neural Network for Object Detection of Common Flower-Visiting Insects

Foley, Connor; Spiesman, Brian (2022-07-28)

An important aspect of pollinator ecology is monitoring and identifying the kinds of animal visitors to flowers. Conventional methods often use video recording or camera traps to collect data and human analysts for manual ...
