The group of Chaoguang TIAN at TIB, using transcriptome analysis for N crassa growing on five major crop residues, found that sporulation regulator rca-1, a transcription factor involved in sporulation, reduces expression of genes involved in cellulose degradation....
The sensor incorporates a ST-X quartz cantilever beam, utilizing a differential resonator-oscillator structure, and stability is improved using the phase modulation approach. A high frequency sensitivity of 29.7 kHz g-1, good linearity and a lower detection limit...
China owns about 90 % of the global seaweed production area and is an important producer of alginates. In collaboration with Fudan University, the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, and within an international project including Japan, Russia and Germany, several...
Mogrosides are cucurbitan glycoside based sweeteners and have found to exhibit interesting pharmacological activities. The group around Yuanxia SUN at TIB has elucidated the biosynthetic pathway in mangosteen fruits using transcriptome analysis and have studied first...
The group analyzed acid and sugar content in 364 apple varieties and found that fruit acidity (malic acid content) was more correlated to good fruit flavor as compared to sugar content (glucose and fructose). CAS news release, April 28, 2015
