INCREASING LEAF VEIN DENSITY VIA MUTAGENESIS IN RICE RESULTS IN AN ENHANCED RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS, SMALLER CELL SIZES AND CAN REDUCE INTERVEINAL MESOPHYLL CELL NUMBER

Increasing Leaf Vein Density via Mutagenesis in Rice Results in an Enhanced Rate of Photosynthesis, Smaller Cell Sizes and Can Reduce Interveinal Mesophyll Cell Number

Improvements to leaf photosynthetic rates of crops can be achieved by targeted manipulation of individual component processes, such as the activity and properties of RuBisCO or photoprotection.This study shows that simple forward genetic screens of mutant populations can also be used to rapidly generate photosynthesis variants that are useful for b

Effectiveness of novel fabrics to resist punctures and lacerations from white shark (Carcharodon carcharias): Implications to reduce injuries from shark bites.

Increases in the number of shark bites, along with increased media attention on shark-human interactions has led to growing interest in preventing injuries from shark bites through the use of personal mitigation measures.The leading cause of fatality from shark bite victims is blood loss; thus reducing haemorrhaging may provide additional time for
