| how interacting fungal species and mineral nitrogen inputs affect transfer of nitrogen from litter via arbuscular mycorrhizal mycelium. | in the karst landscape, widespread in the world including southern china, soil nutrient supply is strongly constrained. in such environments, arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungi may facilitate plant nutrient uptake. however, the possible role of different am fungal species, and their interactions, especially in transferring nitrogen (n) from litter to plant, is poorly understood. we conducted two microcosm experiments to investigate the role that two karst soil am fungi, glomus etunicatum and glom ... | 2017 | 28258426 |
| a reconfigured kennedy pathway which promotes efficient accumulation of medium chain fatty acids in leaf oils. | medium chain fatty acids (mcfa, c6-14 fatty acids) are an ideal feedstock for biodiesel and broader oleochemicals. in recent decades, several studies have used transgenic engineering to produce mcfa in seeds oils, though these modifications result in unbalance membrane lipid profiles that impair oil yields and agronomic performance. given the ability to engineer non-seed organs to produce oils, we have previously demonstrated that mcfa profiles can be produced in leaves, but this also results in ... | 2017 | 28301719 |
