Vertically Increasing Well Thickness and In Content in GaInN MQW’s due to V-shaped Pits

In this work we investigate the influence of V-shaped pits on the growth of GaInN-GaN MQW’s by TEM and x-ray diffraction measurements. We have grown different MQW’s using low-pressure MOVPE and studied the inf...

A late blight resistant potato plant overexpresses a gene coding for α-galactosidase upon infection by Phytophthora infestans

Late blight of potato, caused by Phytophthora infestans was studied by using a resistant clone of potato on one side and a susceptible clone on the other side. A gene coding putatively for an α-galactosidase has ...
