Potentiels de restauration de la qualité des sols sous agriculture de conservation au Maroc

, 2012
Au Maroc, la céréaliculture est, avec l'élevage, l'irrigation et le travail du sol, une des activités les plus anciennes pratiquées depuis des millénaires. Toutefois, cette filière ainsi que d’autres n’ont pas connu une amélioration notable en productivité due essentiellement à une dégradation des ressources en sols et à la sécheresse. Durant les trois

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

Évaluation participative de prototypes de systèmes de culture combinant agriculture de conservation et agriculture biologique

, 2015
Les acteurs de l’agriculture biologique réfléchissent à leurs systèmes de culture afin de préserver la fertilité des sols, socle de ce mode de production. A cette fin, dans deux régions françaises, des agriculteurs ont conçu, avec des chercheurs, 14 prototypes de systèmes de culture intégrant les principes de l’agriculture de conservation.

Accompagner l'innovation en agriculture de conservation : quels apports des agronomes du système de culture ?

, 2015
Dans les pays du sud en général, et en Afrique sub-saharienne en particulier, l'adoption de systèmes de culture innovants en agriculture de conservation (AC) est souvent limitée par la concurrence pour les résidus de culture avec l'élevage. De plus, les bénéfices attendus de l'AC peuvent varier fortement en fonction de la quantité de résidus conservée.

A Dual‐Membrane Biomimetic Nanoplatform Enables Triple‐Modal Therapy Against SARS‐CoV‐2 Through Viral Decoy, Inflammation Neutralizing, and Intracellular RNAi

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
[A&T]MLN is a triple‐modal nanoplatform with siRNA‐loaded LN coated with hybrid ACE2/macrophage membrane. It blocks viral entry, neutralizes IL‐6/IL‐1β/TNF‐α, and delivers siRNA to suppress viral replication. In a murine lung injury model, it attenuates inflammation, offering a multi‐pronged strategy against SARS‐CoV‐2 variants and hyperinflammation ...

Functional–Taxonomic Scaling Resolves Conflicting Average Genome Size Estimates Across Environmental Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional
