Factoring Ecological, Societal, and Economic Considerations into Inoculant Development.

Abstract:

:There are many paths toward effective microbial inoculants for agriculture. Considering what is practical for the present day technological and farming landscape should not limit our creativity in developing innovative technologies. However, factors including production costs, practicality of implementation, and technology adoption by farmers will drive the success of new management approaches.

  • In vitro selection from protein and peptide libraries.

    abstract::In vitro selection from molecular libraries has rapidly come of age as a protein-engineering tool. Dramatic increases in protein affinity can be engineered using phage-display libraries, and specific antibodies can be selected directly from a single 'naïve' library of their genes. Repertoires of small molecules are a ...
