#Boutique bread just a gene away for Aussie farmers Australian farmers can look forward to growing a boutique,
high-yield wheat that is adapted to local conditions and among the best in the world for making bread.
A UQ team has identified the elusive bread-quality gene. Scientists at UQ Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) have identified a hereditary component in wheat that is essential for anyone hoping to consistently make premium-quality bread.
QAAFI Director and plant geneticist Professor Robert Henry said a Trailblazer award from The University of Queensland commercialisation arm
Uniquest, had allowed his research team to identify the elusive bread-quality gene. Queensland grain growers have for many years produced wheat varieties classified as rime hard wheatbecause these were suited to the production of good-quality bread. he precise reason for the difference in the quality of the rime hard wheathas long been a mystery,
with global production of about 650 million tonnes and consumption in a variety of breads across different countries and cultures. rowing global demand for wheat requires ongoing genetic improvement to adapt to changing environmental conditions,
Professor Henry said. owever new wheat varieties must retain the essential quality characteristics of wheat. heat varieties are assessed normally for bread-making quality by conducting a baking test. his is only possible late in the breeding process
and bake. ow that his team has identified the wheat gene responsible for quality bread, Professor Henry and his colleagues are eager to produce new premium wheat varieties. he good news is that premium wheats attract better prices so this discovery potentially means more dollars for Australian farmers.
AAFI scientists expect to exploit the bread-quality gene by developing improved wheat varieties using speed-breeding technologies that allow multiple generations of different varieties to be grown quickly
as well as disease/drought resistance that also include the bread-quality gene, he said. sing the speed-breeding technology developed by QAAFI Dr Lee Hickey,
we expect to establish experimental plots of the new bread-quality wheat in one or two years. ource:

Berkeley, has found that blending together different types of salts in the electrolytes within lithium air batteries can increase the batteriescapacity
Electrolytes consist of a salt and a solvent to dissolve the salt. he electrolytes used in batteries are just like Gatorade electrolytes,
says Venkat Viswanathan, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie mellon. very electrolyte has a solvent and a salt.
So if you take Gatorade, the solvent would be water and the salt would be something like sodium chloride, for instance.
However in a lithium air battery, the solvent is dimethoxyethane and the salt is something like lithium hexafluorophosphate. arlier this year,
The paper, titled nhancing Electrochemical Intermediate Solvation through Electrolyte Anion Selection to Increase Nonaqueous Li-O2 Battery Capacity, explains that salts are the key not solvents
Then, Mccloskey came up with the ingenious idea of changing the salt instead, Viswanathan said. nstead of using just one salt,
we decided to blend salts together. We used two salts: lithium bis (trifluoromethane) sulfonimide and lithium nitrate. ande adds, y blending salts in the electrolyte solution,
we increased the battery capacity by triggering the so-called solution process without compromising on rechargeability.
Nitrate anion from the lithium nitrate salt does the trick by selectively dissolving previously insoluble products without facing the fundamental bottleneck produced by solvent additives. hough this research is an important advancement for lithium air batteries,
the methods the researchers have developed will also be very impactful in other areas of battery research. his research is going to be very important for another big battery technology,

and converts to sugars to feed or be stored in various parts of the plant. Researchers have sought long to better understand
carbon and resulting sugars channeled to stems and leaves increases their mass and creates more plant biomass, a bioenergy feedstock.
In early work in Sweden, Jansson and his team investigated how distribution of sugars in plants could be controlled by a special protein called a transcription factor,
and resulting sugars accumulate, Jansson said. To narrow down the mass of gene contenders, the team started with grains of barley that were high in starch,
The activity of each gene then was analyzed in an attempt to find the specific transcription factor responsible for regulating the conversion of sugar to starch in the aboveground portions of the plant, primarily the grains.
Upon discovery of the transcription factor SUSIBA2, for SUGAR SIGNALING in BARLEY 2, further investigation revealed it was a type known as a master regulator.
