The N terminus of Autographa californica Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus DNA Polymeras...
Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) DNA polymerase (DNApol) plays a crucial role in viral DNA synthesis and the N terminus (residues 1 to 186) is highly conserved in the baculovirus DNApol family. However, the functional role of ...
Characterization of a major QTL for Mn accumulation in rice grain
February 02th,2018
Some diets lack sufficient Manganese (Mn), an essential trace element for life. Although increasing Mn in grain by biofortification could prevent Mn deficiency, it may increase levels of the toxic element cadmium (Cd). Recently, researchers from China Nat...
