The increasing demand for starch has been a social struggle. We report a new technology that efficiently produces starch from duckweed. Although Landoltia punctata has a dramatic contraction of gene families, its starch content and productivity reached 72.2% (dry basis) and 10.4 g m-2 d-1 in 10 days, equivalent to a yield of 38.0 t ha-1 y-1 under nutrient limitation and CO2 elevation treatment. Meanwhile, we also examined the mechanism of duckweed's high starch accumulation. This is exhibited in the regulation of DNA methylation and transcription factors as well as the significantly up-regulated transcription levels and the increased enzyme activities of key genes in starch biosynthesis. Meantime, while nitrogen redistribution was enhanced, sucrose biosynthesis and transportation, and lignocellulose biosynthesis were all reduced. These alterations led to a reduction in lignocellulose and protein content and ultimately an increase in an accumulation of starch in the chloroplast. This work demonstrates duckweed's potential of being a highly efficient starch producer.

The task of selecting the best dental applicants out of an extremely competitive applicant pool is a problem faced annually by dental faculties. This study examined the validity of both cognitive and noncognitive factors used for selection to Canadian dental schools. Interest in personality measurement and the prediction offered by personality measures has escalated and may be applied to the selection of dental candidates. Therefore, the study also assessed whether the addition of a personality measure would increase the validity of predicting performance beyond that achieved by an interview and the Dental Aptitude Test. Results suggest that an interview may be useful in identifying specific behavioral characteristics deemed important for success in dental training. Consistent with previous research, results show that the Dental Aptitude Test is a good predictor of preclinical academic success, with prediction declining when clinical components of the program are introduced into the criterion. Results from the personality measure indicated that Openness to Experience was significantly related to aspects of clinical education, although, contrary to expectations, this relationship was negative. A facet of Openness, Ideas, together with Positive Emotions, a facet of Extroversion, improved prediction of performance in clinical studies beyond that provided by the Dental Aptitude Test and the Interview. Implications of the findings are discussed, and recommendations regarding the admission process to Canadian dental programs are offered.Ms.
