THP9 Can Improve Protein Content and Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency in Maize Seeds
Teosinte is a wild ancestor of maize, and its seed protein content is three times that of most modern maize lines. In a new study, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Normal University tracked the mechanisms responsible for the decline in seed protein content in maize hybrids and inbred strains. Their findings open new avenues for maximizing seed protein content and ...

Plants Activate `Wartime` Protein Production to Fight Invasion
Plants are constantly attacked by bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. When a plant senses a microbial invasion, fundamental changes occur in the chemical soup of proteins inside its cells, the workhorses of life. In a new study published in Cell, Duke University researchers have uncovered a key ingredient in plant cells that reprograms their protein-making machinery to fight disease. Crop ...

5 Things to Do for a Healthy Fish Pond
Aquaculture farmers know that after several years of use in fish ponds after excavation and pond lining, collapse, bottom silt deposits, and clogging of water inlets and outlets will occur. The environment of fish ponds will deteriorate after stocking for a period of time. This is caused by the residues of feed residues, fish excrement, and drugs used. These pollutants are deposited in the sludge ...
