Soil and Genotype Shape the Sugarcane Phytobiome for Enhanced Environmental Adaptation
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Soil type and sugarcane genotype, differing in their adaptability to low‐fertility soils, interact to shape microbial recruitment and host transcriptional responses. In sandy soils, the better‐adapted genotype IACSP‐5503 recruits more plant growth‐promoting bacteria and activates growth‐related genes, while in clayey soils the less‐adapted IACSP‐6007 ...

ISOLATION OF CRYSTALLINE RICIN [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1948 A toxic crystalline protein has been isolated from crude extracts of castor bean meal. Ultracentrifuge and electrophoresis tests show the crystalline protein to become fairly homogeneous after three or four crystallizations. This is also confirmed by toxicity measurements.
