TL;DR: By reducing photorespiratory losses and increasing photosynthetic CO2 fixation rates, transgenic plants show dramatic increases in seed yield, and the bypass approach may have significant impact on increasing agricultural productivity for C3 crops.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed cell division rates, metabolism and transcriptional regulation in Dunaliella viridis in response to changes in light duration and growth temperatures, and identified potential regulators involved in the light and temperature-induced lipid accumulation.

TL;DR: A technically feasible and scalable thermo-catalytic process to convert the lipids into replacements for liquid transportation fuels has been developed and these alkanes can be reformed into renewable diesel via conventional catalytic hydrocarbon isomerization reactions to improve cold flow properties, if desired.

TL;DR: A biodegradable hydrogel has been made based on high concentrations of whey protein isolate (WPl) Gels of different compositions were fabricated by thermally inducing gelation of high-concentration suspensions of protein, and characterized for compressive strength and modulus, hydration swelling and drying properties, mechanical behavior change due to polysaccharide additives, and intrinsic pore network stcture as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose methods for producing plants having an increased number of seeds and methods for produce plants having increased assimilate partitioning directed into fruits, seeds and/or other plant part (e.g., roots and or tubers).
