Precision Editing of NLRS Improves Effector Recognition for Enhanced Disease Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Precision engineering of plant NLR immune receptors enables rational design of enhanced pathogen resistance through mismatched pairing, domain swapping, and targeted mutagenesis. These approaches achieve multi‐fold expansion in recognition breadth while minimizing autoimmunity risks and fitness penalties.

Identification of Priority Areas for the Control of Soil Erosion and the Influence of Terrain Factors Using RUSLE and GIS in the Caeté River Basin, Brazilian Amazon

Earth
Soil erosion poses a significant global environmental challenge, causing land degradation, deforestation, river siltation, and reduced agricultural productivity. Although the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) has been widely applied in Brazil,

Regolith history from cosmic-ray-produced isotopes [PDF]

A statistical model is given for soil development relating meteoroid impacts on the moon to cosmic-ray-produced isotopes in the soil. By means of this model, the average lunar mass loss rate during the past 1.4 aeons is determined to be 170g/sq cm aeon ...

Soybean Auxin Transporter PIN3 Regulates Nitrate Acquisition to Improve Nitrogen Use and Seed Traits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Xu et al. discovers that switching off auxin transporters in soybean, PIN3a and PIN3b, disrupts auxin flow; this triggers ARF‐STF3/4 signal cascade to activate the nitrate importer NPF2.13 and soil nitrogen acquisition. Multi‐year field trials show edited soybeans maintain yield with higher oil content, offering a potential genetic route to improve ...

Non-inversion tillage in organic arable cropping [PDF]

, 2008
The opportunities for using an non-inversion tillage (NI) approach in organic systems has not been well investigated by research and what research has been done has not perhaps been sufficiently long-term.

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.

Evaluating the impact of land use/land cover and rainfall changes on regional soil erosion

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Climate change (CC), along with changes in land use and land cover (LULC), is among the primary forces driving soil erosion. Deforestation and anthropogenic activities have led to excessive soil erosion in the Ketar watershed. This study aimed to map the

MGM as a Large‐Scale Pretrained Foundation Model for Microbiome Analyses in Diverse Contexts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present the Microbial General Model (MGM), a transformer‐based foundation model pretrained on over 260,000 microbiome samples. MGM learns contextualized microbial representations via self‐supervised language modeling, enabling robust transfer learning, cross‐regional generalization, keystone taxa discovery, and prompt‐guided generation of realistic,

Soil anti-scourability characteristics and influencing factors under different land use types in the black soil region of Northeast China

Frontiers in Soil Science
To explore the characteristics of soil anti-scourability under different land use types in the black soil region of Northeast China, surface soil samples (0–10 cm) from three main land use types in a typical black soil region, including natural grassland

SOIL PRODUCTIVITY AND FARMERS' EROSION CONTROL INCENTIVES--A DYNAMIC MODELING APPROACH [PDF]

Important linkages between farm management variables, soil loss, crop yields, and incentives to practice soil conservation have often been omitted from previous empirical studies, due to regional data limitations and incomplete knowledge of soil loss ...
