Define regulatory control pathways delivering NPF (nitrate) and AMT (ammonium) transport activities across root types and cell profiles

We have previously identified the tissue expression patterns of ZmNPF6;6 and ZmNPF6;4 in maize root tips (Wen, Z., et al., The Plant Cell, 2017) and used qPCR as well as custom arra more...

Will a novel form of oral peanut immunotherapy induce regulatory immune responses and modify the gastrointestinal microbiome ?

In this part of the study, we will investigate the immunological mechanisms involved in the desensitization process. This will include the effects of short chained fatty acids in th more...

Defining the genetic link between nitrate and ammonium transport proteins and root architecture in Maize and Barley

We have previously tested two contrasting maize inbred lines on their inherent nitrate transport rates and respective responses to growth at low nitrogen supply. The lines were sele more...
