OSPEX1, A LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT EXTENSIN PROTEIN, FUNCTIONS IN THE REGULATION OF CARYOPSIS DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY IN RICE

OsPEX1, a leucine-rich repeat extensin protein, functions in the regulation of caryopsis development and quality in rice

Rice caryopses are enclosed by outer glumes.The size and dimension of the outer glume are the main determinants of caryopsis size.However, it is unclear whether caryopsis development is completely dependent on the size of the glume, or whether it can grow and expand autonomously despite the constraint of glume enclosure.We report the identification

Investigation of biophysical mechanisms in gold nanoparticle mediated laser manipulation of cells using a multimodal holographic and fluorescence imaging setup.

Laser based cell manipulation has proven to be a versatile tool in biomedical applications.In this context, combining weakly focused laser pulses and nanostructures, e.g.gold nanoparticles, promises to be useful for high throughput cell manipulation, such as transfection and photothermal therapy.Interactions between laser pulses and gold nanopartic
