Increasing demand for sustainable chemicals and fuels has pushed academia and industry
to search for alternative feedstocks replacing crude oil in traditional refineries. As a result, an …

… This selectivity shift was further elucidated by De Clercq et al., who investigated different
Sn-containing catalysts for the conversion of tetroses to MMHB and MVG. Homogeneous and …

Tetrahedral Sn built into microporous silica frameworks such as zeolites and structured
mesoporous silica can be used as heterogeneous Lewis acid catalysts. These materials have …

The higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) is an important model for identifying
plant genes and determining their function. To assist biological investigations and to define …

During the development of multicellular organisms, organogenesis and pattern formation
depend on formative divisions to specify and maintain pools of stem cells. In higher plants, …

Attackers target many different types of computer systems in use today, exploiting software
vulnerabilities to take over the device and make it act maliciously. Reports of numerous …

Present-day public-key cryptosystems such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
will become insecure when quantum computers become a reality. This paper presents the …

Monoterpenoid indole alkaloids ( MIA s) are produced as plant defence compounds. In the
medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus, they comprise the anticancer compounds vinblastine …

We have assembled approximately 20 000 Arabidopsis thaliana promoter regions,
compatible with functional studies that require cloning and with microarray applications. The …

Cell number is an important determinant of final organ size. In the leaf, a large proportion of
cells are derived from the stomatal lineage. Meristemoids, which are stem cell-like precursor …
