Protection Elements for Safflower Oilseeds

Engineering Oilseeds for Industry

Over the last century the world has become dependant on fossil fuels as the primary source of hydrocarbons for energy and industry. These resources are finite and non renewable and their exploitation releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The identification of sustainable replacements has been an ongoing area of research for many years. Plant triacylglycerol (TAG) oils ...

Advanced Simulation for ESD Protection Elements

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) failure is one of the most important causes of reliability problems, therefore the design and optimization of ESD devices have to be done. To achieve very short time to market and reduce the development effort, one tries to make use of the benefit of simulation tools. However, due to the complex physical mechanism of ESD events and the hard mathematic calculation i...

VEZF1 Elements Mediate Protection from DNA Methylation

There is growing consensus that genome organization and long-range gene regulation involves partitioning of the genome into domains of distinct epigenetic chromatin states. Chromatin insulator or barrier elements are key components of these processes as they can establish boundaries between chromatin states. The ability of elements such as the paradigm beta-globin HS4 insulator to block the ran...

Development and potential of genetically engineered oilseeds

Oilseed crops are major sources of oils for human nutrition, and an increasing proportion is also being utilized for industrial purposes. Recent advances in our understanding of the basic biochemistry of seed oil biosynthesis, coupled with identification of genes for oilseed modification, have set the stage for the genetic engineering of oilseed crops that produce ‘designer’ plant seed oils tai...
