GUD-VE visualization tool for physicochemical properties of proteins.

The physicochemical properties of primary sequences of proteins helps in determining both the structure and biological functions. The sequence analysis of the proteins and nucleic acids is most fundamental element of bioinformatics. Without these elements, it is impossible to gain insight deeper molecular and biochemical mechanisms.

Enhancing crop yield by optimizing plant developmental features.

A number of plant features and traits, such as overall plant architecture, leaf structure and morphological features, vascular architecture and flowering time are important determinants of photosynthetic efficiency and hence the overall performance of crop plants. The optimization of such developmental traits thus has great potential to increase biomass and crop yield. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of these developmental traits in crop plants, summarizing their genetic regulation and highlighting the potential of manipulating these traits for crop improvement.
