Molecular basis of plant cellulose biosynthesis and its potential herbicide design
Objective: The objective of this study is to understand the molecular basis of cellulose biosynthesis and come up with a potential herbicide design. Methods: In this study, compound library 1432-000006, 1432-000008, and 1432-000015 was used for testing against the control CESA, to screen for any d...

Methods: In this study, compound library 1432-000006, 1432-000008, and 1432-000015 was used for testing against the control CESA, to screen for any deviation in the thermal shift assay which may indicate a potential compound which might be able to use as herbicide compound.
