NOVEL FLUORESCENCE METHODS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 该项目对人类健康和营养非常重要。铁和锌是两种重要的矿物质，缺乏这些矿物质会导致贫血，侏儒症，性成熟延迟。数百种酶需要锌来催化作用，也许锌与免疫力有关。在植物中，坚果、豆类（菜豆）和谷物是锌和铁的主要来源。提高ND豆中铁、锌的含量，将有助于改善该地区乃至世界人民的营养状况。该项目也发挥了非常重要的作用，为我们的学生准备分子生物学领域和人类健康和营养的研究。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This project is important for human health and nutrition. Iron and zinc are two important minerals and deficiencies of these minerals are responsible for anemia, dwarfism, delay in sexual maturity. Hundreds of enzymes need zinc for catalytic action, perhaps zinc is related to immunity. Among plants nuts, legumes (Common bean), and grain cereals are chief sources of zinc and iron. Enhancement of contents of Iron and Zinc in ND beans will help improving the quality nutrient status in people in this area, and in the world. This project also plays a very crucial role for preparing our students for the field of molecular biology and for study in human health and nutrition.
