Stanford inventors have discovered a single plant protein, FLOE1, that controls a variety of processes that are crucial to timely and robust germination of seeds.
Stanford researchers have constructed a microbial cell factory by genetically modifying the bacterium Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z to convert methanol and methane into para-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA).
Stanford researchers have shown how to use fluorescent and phosphorescent materials to provide plants with photons in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) range for increased crop yields and CO2 fixation.
A novel method for dissociating plant tissues for biochemical and genomic analysis that accommodates harsher digestion conditions with increased tissue dissociation efficiency and quality of isolated RNA.
Researchers in Prof. Thomas Jaramillo's laboratory have developed an electrochemical method for local production of ammonia that simultaneously solves an environmental problem while also producing a valuable chemical product with a massive global market.
Researchers in Prof. Elizabeth Sattely's laboratory have developed a high-yield, scalable plant-based protein expression system to produce lignin-degrading enzymes for converting waste lignin into useful carbon-based platform chemicals.
Stanford researchers have discovered a fast, discriminative method for inferring local ancestry and correcting phase errors. This local ancestry inference method is both faster and more accurate than the previous state-of-the-art.
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers have invented a fully water-soluble, orange hydrazine sensor that can robustly quantify the toxin hydrazine in liquids such as drinking water, waste water (treated and untreated), and bodily fluids.
New advances in satellite data acquisition and processing offer promise for monitoring agricultural lands globally and would benefit both industrial and local scale crop management, research, and development, especially for areas where reliable ground-based estimates are not c
Stanford researchers at the Jaramillo, Nørskov, and Cargnello Labs have developed an improved system to generate NH3 (ammonia) from N2 and H2O via a low-pressure, electro-thermochemical, sustainable alternative to the conventional Haber-Bosch p
Stanford researchers have developed a system for precise genetic modification of human embryonic stem cells (ECSs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
The patched gene is a component of the so-called Hedgehog signaling pathway that is known to be involved in the commonest human cancer, basal cell carcinoma, and in brain cancer.
