Eco‐Designed Transparent Bacterial Cellulose Composites for Next‐Generation Opto‐Electronics
The developed transparent bacterial cellulose (BC) composite film using bio‐based resin results in higher transparency (89%) and lower haze (12%) at 550 nm, combined with insulative, hydrophobic and mechanically robust properties, thereby, enabling successful fabrication of an electrochromic device with efficient optical modulation on a sustainable ...

An STI‐guided metagenomic association framework links soybean salt‐tolerance phenotypes with rhizosphere microbiome composition and network organization in natural saline soils. The approach identifies candidate beneficial taxa, including Thalassospira xiamenensis, and provides an efficient strategy for mining stress‐protective microbes from native ...

Identification and analysis of a flagellar gene operon of Agrobacterium tumefaciens [PDF]
The cosmid, pDUB1900, from a representative genomic library of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58C1 chromosome has previously been partly mapped and found to contain genes concerned with flagellar structure, assembly and function.

Phenology and developmental stage mediate symbiotic N fixation in a hairy vetch breeding program
Abstract Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is an overwintering annual legume valued for its ability to provide N through symbiotic N fixation (SNF). Although SNF is a high‐priority trait for farmers, evaluating SNF in a breeding program is a challenging endeavor. Our objective was to evaluate how SNF varies within and among hairy vetch genotypes and how

Cryo-EM structures of multiple-peptide resistance factor (MprF) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
Multiple peptide resistance factor (MprF) is a bacterial enzyme that carries out the aminoacylation of lipid head groups. CryoEM analysis of MprF from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a dimeric enzyme, distinct from its homologues in Rhizobium. The soluble GNAT domain contains a dynamic amphipathic helix (TTH) that adopts different positions in detergent

Crop sequencing effects of seven crops on grain yield, volunteers, and weeds in Saskatchewan
Abstract Every growing season, producers must decide which crops to grow and in what sequence to enhance returns and sustain productivity. However, when producers consider growing specialty crops like canary seed (Phalaris canariensis L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), or quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), data are ...

Groundnut Improvement for Aflatoxin Resistance: Progress and Opportunities
ABSTRACT Groundnut, or peanut, is an industrial oilseed crop that serves the food and feed industries and provides income along the value chain. Pre‐ and post‐harvest aflatoxin contamination, caused by Aspergillus spp., hinders the food and feed value and market opportunities of groundnut products. Developing and deploying aflatoxin‐resistant varieties

Isoliquiritigenin, a Strong nod Gene- and Glyceollin Resistance- Inducing Flavonoid from Soybean Root Exudate [PDF]
Isoflavonoid signal molecules from soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seed and root exudate induce the transcription of nodulation (nod) genes in Bradyrhizobium japonicum. In this study, a new compound with symbiotic activity was isolated from soybean root

GmDOF3.1-GmCPX Module Regulates Nodulation and Nitrogen Fixation Abilities in Soybean. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Soybean nodule nitrogen fixation is very important, which can provide a large amount of nitrogen supply for its own growth and that of other crops, but the mechanism is largely unclear. In the present study, a coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene, GmCPX, was identified to facilitate soybean nodulation and nitrogen‐fixation under the regulation of ...

ABSTRACT Rice quality is jointly affected by nitrogen (N) management, cropping system, and environmental conditions. A two‐year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of rice–water mimosa mixed cropping and three N application rates (0, 75, and 150 kg N ha−1) on rice milling and appearance quality, physicochemical properties, starch ...
