Microarrays offer a powerful tool for diverse applications plant biology and crop improvement.
Black spot may be controlled by fungicide application, planting resistant varieties, and removing any infected leaves immediately.
These are important steps towards the practical use of ToF-SIMS as a tool to screen for changes in plant composition, whether the transformation of the lignocellulose is achieved through enzyme application, plant mutagenesis, or other treatments.
My interests are primarily the population biology, genetics and evolution of plant pathogens, with applications to plant disease epidemiology and management.
His interest in medical applications of plants led him through a Ph.D. at Dublin researching the production of pharmaceuticals in plant-cell cultures.
For biomimetic applications, vascular plants are most important.
"I'm interested in the applications that plants can have in our everyday lives," she says.
Any production of polymer with commercial applications in plants is a good start, given the complexity of the endeavor, he says.
Finally, the potential applications of plant laccase in energy plant engineering and phytoremediation are discussed.
Agricultural and pharmaceutical applications of plant genomics have focused on understanding the metabolic and biochemical potential of specific plant tissues and environmental responses [ 1].
