Green Bronx Machine, Future Food Institute, Mayor of Pollica, President of ICCAR- UNESCO, and Italian coordination of the UNESCO Emblematic Communities announce LIFESTYLE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE to partner with 600 schools in Italy to promote human and planetary health via Mediterranean Diet.
Photosynthesis is one of the most important chemical reactions, not just for plants but also for the entire world.
A RUDN biologist for the first time described the genetic and other features of more than 50 strains of a bacterium that infects many crops around the world. The results will be important for plant breeding for resistance to phytopathogens
Researchers have discovered how plant roots adapt their shape to maximise their uptake of water, pausing branching when they lose contact with water and only resuming once they reconnect with moisture, ensuring they can survive even in the driest conditions.
Social bees such as honeybees and bumblebees have larger foraging ranges, according to researchers at the University of Bristol.
Electrical conductivity sensors were able to predict soil texture – especially at different depths – and correlated with corn yield data
Codonopsis lanceolata, more commonly referred to as “deodeok”, is used as a medicinal herb in South Korea.
The Devonian Period, 419 to 358 million years ago, was one of the most turbulent times in Earth’s past and was marked by at least six significant marine extinctions, including one of the five largest mass extinctions ever to have occurred.
Research from Washington University in St. Louis shows that a practice of purposeful water management, or irrigation, was adopted in northern China about 4,000 years ago as part of an effort to grow new grains that had been introduced from southwest Asia. But the story gets more complex from there. Wheat and barley arrived on the scene at about the same time, but early farmers only used water management techniques for wheat.
A new paper in PNAS Nexus, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that chemicals used in agriculture, like fertilizers and pesticides, can change the way bees ‘see’ a flower, and that this reduces the number of bees visiting a flower.
Pollinators are less likely to land on flowers sprayed with fertilisers or pesticides as they can detect electric field changes around the flower, researchers at the University of Bristol have found.
The promise for American agriculture is tantalizing: healthier soil, more carbon kept in the ground, less fertilizer runoff, and less need for chemicals.
Woody climbing plants, known as lianas, are more likely to infest smaller trees in Malaysian forests and therefore stop them growing to their full potential, which may have implications for climate change.
RUDN biologists have shown that silver nanoparticles increase the yield of soybeans. The key to that is in the symbiosis of soy and rhizobia bacteria.
Agronomists have discovered genetic markers that make crops resistant to a dangerous phenomenon - enzyme depletion. The researchers described the factors that lead to this lesion and developed a scale to rate resistance.
Ecologists have identified genotypes that are resistant to a dangerous fungal pathogen that infects plants before the snow melts and reduces yields.
A new research centre, led by the University of Adelaide, will focus international expertise on finding ways to provide the next generation of space explorers with nutritious foods, and the on-demand supply of materials and medicines.
Sperm cells have compact bundles of DNA, yet exactly how and why sperm cell nuclei are condensed in flowering plants has been a mystery, until now.
As part of a multipronged approach to prevent infestations by the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica, researchers are unravelling the role of plant hormones, known as strigolactones (SLs).
