Heterologous expression of the NAD+-dependent phosphite dehydrogenase (PTXD) bacterial enzyme from Pseudomonas stutzerii enables selective growth of transgenic organisms by using phosphite as sole phosphorous source.Combining phosphite fertilization with nuclear expression of the ptxD transgene was shown to be an alternative to herbicides in contro

Soil microorganisms historically have been a rich resource for natural product discovery, yet the majority of these microbes remain uncultivated and their Prenatal biosynthetic capacity is left underexplored.To identify the biosynthetic potential of soil microorganisms using a culture-independent approach, we constructed a large-insert metagenomic

Short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging has significant advantages in challenging propagation conditions where the effectiveness of visible-light and thermal imaging is limited.Object tracking in SWIR imaging is particularly difficult due to lack of color information, but also because of occlusions and maneuvers of the tracked object.This paper proposes
