Deploying GABA metabolism to boost plant immunity to phytopathogens: From fundamental research to practical application

?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that has recently been discovered to play an important role in plant-pathogen interactions. In this proposal, we will comprehensively investigate the potential of GABA metabolism to boost plant immunity against fungal and bacterial pathogens using tomato and Arabidopsis as model plant systems. The effectiveness of exogenous applications […]

Advancing the Cryptanalysis of the HPPK-THR Public Key Cryptosystem

The Homomorphic Polynomial Public Key over Two Hidden Rings (HPPK-THR) is a new method of encryption developed by Quantropi to secure communications against advances in quantum computing. While highly efficient and comparing excellently against rival encryption schemes HPPK-THR was only recently developed in 2022. It thus still needs thorough investigation to show its strong security […]
