An Integration and Analysis Pipeline for Systems Biology in Crop Plant Metabolism
نویسندگان
چکیده
To advance the comprehension of complex biological processes occurring in crop plants (e.g. for improvement of growth or yield) it is of high interest to reconstruct and analyse detailed metabolic models. Therefore, we established a pipeline combining software tools for (1) storage of metabolic pathway data and reconstruction of crop plant metabolic models, (2) simulation and analysis of stoichiometric and kinetic models and (3) visualisation of data generated with these models. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by a case study of cereal seed metabolism.

Techno-Economic Assessment of Different Inlet Air Cooling Systems in Warm Dry & Wet Climate Stations
Performance of a gas turbine mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls. The objective here is to assess the advanced systems applied in reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the ...
متن کاملClimate change effects on wheat yield and water use in oasis cropland
Agriculture of the inland arid region in Xinjiang depends on irrigation, which forms oasis of Northwest China. The production and water use of wheat, a dominant crop there, is significantly affected by undergoing climate variability and change. The objective of this study is to quantify inter-annual variability of wheat yield and water use from 1955 to 2006. The farming systems model APSIM (Agr...
