Non-toxic, Low Cost Nitrogen Fixation by Titanium Dioxide
Background: Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3). Although the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, it is nutritionally unavailable because nitrogen molecules are held together by triple bonds. Atmospheric nitrogen does not easily react with other chemicals to form new compounds, as it is...

Engineering Crassulacean Acid Metabolism to Improve Water-Use Efficiency
Background: A novel technology to increase the water-use efficiency and drought tolerance in plants using synthetic biological approaches. Crassulacean acid metabolisms (CAM) is a specialized form of photosynthesis that reduces crop water demands by 3-to-6-fold compared with non-CAM species by shifting all or part of atmospheric CO2 fixation from the...
