#Key genes for increasing oil content in plant leaves identifiedscientists at the U s. Department of energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have identified the key genes required for oil production and accumulation in plant leaves and other vegetative plant tissues.
The first step was to identify the genes responsible for oil production in vegetative plant tissues. Though oil isn't stored in these tissues almost all plant cells have the capacity to make oil.
or disabling genes that enable cells to make certain enzymes involved in oil production. Pumping up the factors that normally increase oil production in seeds had no effect on oil production in leaves
and one of these when overexpressed in leaves caused growth and developmental problems in the plants.
however had dramatic effects on leaf oil production. If you knock out (disable) the gene for an enzyme known as PDAT it doesn't affect oil synthesis in seeds
but it dramatically decreases oil production and accumulation in leaves Xu said. In contrast overexpressing the gene for PDAT-that is getting cells to make more of this enzyme-resulted in a 60-fold increase in leaf oil production.
An important observation was that the excess oil did not mix with cellular membrane lipids
Identifying the mechanismnext the scientists used radio-labeled carbon (C-14) to decipher the biochemical mechanism by which PDAT increases oil production.
and oleosin) in a variant of test plants that already had elevated an rate of fatty acid synthesis. In this case the genetic boost resulted in even greater oil production
Xu is now collaborating with Brookhaven biochemist John Shanklin to explore the potential effect of overexpressing these key genes on oil production in dedicated biomass crops such as sugarcane.

This study provides the first evidence that early limited formula (ELF) can provide important benefits to some newborns said lead author Valerie Flaherman MD MPH an assistant professor of pediatrics and epidemiology and biostatistics
but ELF is a different way to envision using it said Flaherman. Rather than giving full bottles of formula that make it hard for the baby to return to the breast ELF is a small amount of supplementation with a clear end point that alleviates some of the stress new mothers feel about producing enough milk.
Breastfeeding is known to offer wide-ranging preventive health benefits for babies reducing their risk for infections
The babies were assigned randomly either to receive early limited formula (ELF) which consisted of one-third of an ounce of infant formula by syringe following each breastfeeding
So as not to interfere with breastfeeding 8 to 12 times a day the ELF babies were given only small amounts of formula.
The ELF babies stopped the formula when their mothers began producing mature milk approximately two to five days after birth.
However only 10 percent of the ELF babies had received formula in the last 24 hours compared with 47 percent of the control group.

We're as dependent on foreign oil as we've ever been, the modest recent uptick in domestic unconventional oil production notwithstanding.
At $61 a barrel, oil production can be profitable at an EROI of 5 but not at 2. When EROI is less than 10,
