Oak Genomics Proves Its Worth
A year and a half following the publication of the pedunculate oak genome by France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE) and The Commission for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies (CEA), initial results based on this genomic resource were published in the April 16, 2020, issue of New Phytologist.
Cable Bacteria Can Drastically Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Rice Cultivation
A Danish-German research collaboration may have found a solution to the large climate impact from the world's rice production: By adding electric conductive cable bacteria to soil with rice plants, they could reduce methane emissions by more than 90%.
Rising Carbon Dioxide Levels Will Change Marine Habitats And Fish Communities
Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the consequent changes created through ocean acidification will cause severe ecosystem effects, impacting reef-forming habitats and the associated fish, according to new research.
Relying on “Local Food” is a Distant Dream for Most of the World
A recent study from Aalto University shows that less than one-third of the world's population could currently meet their demand for food produced in their local vicinity.
Nanosensor Can Alert A Smartphone When Plants Are Stressed
MIT engineers have developed a way to closely track how plants respond to stresses such as injury, infection, and light damage, using sensors made of carbon nanotubes.
