Researcher Discovers Plant Genes For Phosphate Uptake
...take mechanisms. It did. Then they probed the DNA libraries of the starved plants for genes that produce phosphate transporter proteins. They found the genes there, isolated them, and decoded them. They also noted that the phosphate-starved plants sent out significantly more messages calling for production of...New Sensor Will Detech Chemical And Biological Pathogens At Incredibly Small Doses
...rphy says.It can take six to nine months to screen libraries of new chemicals, but withthe new sensor, configured in an array of 100 fibers, a determination could bemade within a few weeks.
