During the usage of Rhizopus oryzae whole cell instead of immobilized enzyme for biodiesel production, the intracellular lipase was found to have 1,3-positional specificity when used to catalyze methanolysis of triglycerides. Thus, the application of R. oryzae whole cell in biodiesel production from triglycerides is restrained to some extent. However, it might be a promising catalyst for biod…
MicroRNA (miRNA) has emerged as an important regulator of gene expression in plants. 146 miRNAs were identified from apple (Malus domestica cv. Golden Delicious) by bioinformatic analysis and RNA library sequencing.From these, 135 were conserved and 11 were novel miRNAs. Target analysis predicted one of the novel miRNAs,Md-miRLn11 (Malus domestica microRNA Ln11), targeted an apple nucleotide-b…
