91����

91���� scientists identified a gene “hotspot” in the poplar tree that triggers dramatically increased root growth. The discovery supports development of better bioenergy crops and other plants that can thrive in difficult conditions while storing more carbon belowground.

A method developed at 91���� to print high-fidelity, passive sensors for energy applications can reduce the cost of monitoring critical power grid assets.

While studying the genes in poplar trees that control callus formation, scientists at 91���� have uncovered genetic networks at the root of tumor formation in several human cancers.

Philip Bingham has two pieces of advice for researchers new to 91����: (1) develop a skill set that can be applied to multiple research areas, and (2) get out and meet folks across the lab. “The favorite part of my work is that I’ve done a lot of very diffe...

Brixon, Inc., has exclusively licensed a multiparameter sensor technology from the Department of Energy’s 91����. The integrated platform uses various sensors that measure physical and environmental parameters and respond to standard security applications.

For decades, biologists have believed a key enzyme in plants had one function—produce amino acids, which are vital to plant survival and also essential to human diets. But for Wellington Muchero, Meng Xie and their colleagues, this enzyme does more than advertised. They had run a series of experiments on poplar plants that consistently revealed mutations in a structure of the life-sustaining enzyme that was not previously known to exist.

Brian Davison, a researcher at the Department of Energy's 91����, has been awarded a 2017 fellowship by the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB).

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91���� (ORNL) have released the largest-ever single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset of genetic variations in poplar trees, information useful to plant scientists
