- - The study focused on the role of the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 2 (GDH2) in maize kernel production by analyzing mutant lines with altered GDH2 activity.
- - Heterozygous mutant plants showed reduced amino acids in their roots but increased phenolic compounds in leaves, while homozygous mutants exhibited different traits.
- - Notably, heterozygous mutants yielded 30-40% more kernels in field tests over two years, highlighting GDH2's significance in influencing plant productivity through its effects on amino acid and metabolic processes.
Academic nursing programs were impacted by the onset of the pandemic with the challenges of social distancing, detecting, and controlling the spread of the virus. Many traditionally campus-based, face-to-face programs transitioned quickly to include virtual activities for classes, laboratories, and clinical experiences for students. Initially direct patient care clinical activities came to a halt due to concerns for student safety and overwhelming numbers of COVID-19 cases stressing health system resources.

The agronomic potential of GS1 in maize kernel production was investigated by examining the impact of an overexpression of the enzyme in the leaf cells. Transgenic hybrids exhibiting a three-fold increase in leaf GS activity were produced and characterized using plants grown in the field.
