A review of knowledge of the potential impacts of GMOs on organic agriculture [PDF]

, 2001
The organic movement believes that organic agriculture, by its nature, cannot involve the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This has been incorporated into EU regulations which state that there is no place in organic agriculture for GMOs ...

Nitrogen forms affect root structure and water uptake in the hybrid poplar [PDF]

, 2011
The study analyses the effects of two different forms of nitrogen fertilisation (nitrate and ammonium) on root structure and water uptake of two hybrid poplar (Populus maximowiczii x P. balsamifera) clones in a field experiment.

Edible Pouch Motors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

Sustainable management of soil-borne disease: integrating fumigation with Andrographis paniculata residues to rebuild rhizosphere function

BMC Microbiology
Continuous pepper cropping induces soil-borne diseases and disrupts rhizosphere microecological balance. This study employed untargeted metabolomics and metagenomics to investigate treatment effects on rhizosphere metabolic reprogramming and microbe–metabolite interactions.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.
