An integrated sensing chip for attomolar label-free detection of amplified nucleic acids
Summary:
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a nucleic acid amplification technique and has been widely used for detection of pathogens in many organisms. Current LAMP-based sensors usually require the LAMP products to be labeled in order for them to be detected.
Description:
This new LAMP chip offers a new portable platform to detect...

C1-I haploid inducer
Summary:
The C1-I haploid inducer is a maternal haploid inducer line, fixed for the allele C1-I. C1 is a transcription factor in the anthocyanin pathway. The allele C1-I suppresses the formation of anthocyanin even in the presence of R1-nj, a visual selectable marker commonly used in haploid selection. Thus C1-I haploid inducer allows to induce and...

Virtual Reality as a Tool to Evaluate Chicken Behavior and Improve Animal Welfare
Summary:
Large-scale production poultry farms are needed to respond to high demand for eggs and poultry. Because of public concern for hen welfare, it is expected that the majority of US poultry housing will switch to cage-free systems in the near future. Disease outbreaks, cannibalism and feed cost are major concerns in cage-free housing. It is now...

Gene controlling spontaneous haploid genome doubling in maize
Summary:
ISU researchers identified a maize chromosomal region and markers associated with the ability of haploid plants to spontaneously double their genome, and thus become DH/inbred lines. Genome doubling without particular treatment, greenhouse cultivation and transplanting can substantially reduce the costs of DH line production. The chromosomal...
