A comparative study on generating simulated Landsat NDVI images using data fusion and regression method-the case of the Korean Peninsula.

Landsat optical images have enough spatial and spectral resolution to analyze vegetation growth characteristics. But, the clouds and water vapor degrade the image quality quite often, which limits the availability of usable images for the time series vegetation vitality measurement. To overcome this shortcoming, simulated images are used as an alternative.

Cloning, expression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (FabH) from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

The bacterial beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (KASIII) encoded by the gene fabH (Xoo4209) from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, a plant pathogen, is an important enzyme in the elongation steps of fatty-acid biosynthesis. It is expected to be one of the enzymes responsible for bacterial blight (BB), a serious disease that results in huge production losses of rice.
