Mesoporous silica nanoparticles deliver DNA and chemicals into plants (2007)

Torney, Francois, Trewyn, Brian G., Lin, Victor S. -Y., Wang, Kan

Surface-functionalized silica nanoparticles can deliver DNA(1-8) and drugs(9-15) into animal cells and tissues. However, their use in plants is limited by the cell wall present in plant cells. Here...

Measurement and multi-sensor (2006)

Huang, Yang, Xu, Yani, Guan, Yijia, Cai, Dongyang, Wang, Kan

Measurement, a common scientific word, will be historically introduced in the very beginning. Then definition of measurement will be specifically present. Multi-sensors:E-nose, E-tongue, a new...

A Comprehensive Approach to Phonon Control for Enhanced Device Performance (2006)

Merlin, Roberto, Bhattacharya, Pallab K., Mellor, James R., Goldman, Rachel, Haddad, George, Hiller, Robert J., ...

The goals of this program were to identify, develop and implement configurations in which phonons and the coupling of phonons to carriers lead to enhanced device performance. A significant component...

Leaf senescence is delayed in maize expressing the Agrobacterium IPT gene under the control of a novel maize senescence-enhanced promoter (2004)

Donnison, Iain S, Robson, Paul R H, Wang, Kan, Frame, Bronwen, Pegg, Sue Ellen, Thomas, Ann, ...

We have genetically modified maize plants to delay leaf senescence. A senescence-enhanced promoter from maize (PSEE1) was used to drive expression of the Agrobacterium cytokinin biosynthesis gene IPT...
