Plant science is essential for improving crop yields and securing food sources. RNA-seq offers a powerful tool for plant scientists to explore plant transcriptomes, thereby allowing them to gain a better understanding of plant responses to stress and environmental changes. It has been widely used in plant science, driving advancements to meet the demands of a growing population. Click here for further information：https://lnkd.in/e3-ETrXM

Summary: The article discusses the remediation of isoproturon-contaminated soil using Sphingobium sp. strain YBL2 through bioaugmentation, detoxification, and community structure analysis. Isoproturon is a phenylurea herbicide that can accumulate in soil, impacting crop growth and soil microbial communities. The study highlights the importance of microbial remediation in reducing the phytotoxic effects of isoproturon and improving agricultural production quality.

NEW PAPER PUBLISHED Plant resistance and tolerance to gall-inducing insects. 🎯 Variations in plant genotypes and phenotypes influence the development of defensive abilities against herbivory. In this study, we evaluated resistant and susceptible phenotypes of Bauhinia brevipes against the gall-inducing insect Schizomyia macrocapillata (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). We found: ➡ No differences in vegetative and reproductive performance or asymmetry between resistant and susceptible mature plants ➡ No relationshipbetween leaf nutritional quality and resistance to S. macrocapillata. ➡ Plant performance was consistent across ontogeny for both phenotypes, except for some variables. ✴ Contrary to expectations, susceptible plants performed equally well or better than resistant plants. ✴ Our study suggests that tolerance and overcompensation to herbivory in B. brevipes might be mediated by induced defense. ✴ This highlights the importance of multiple layers of plant defense, where plant tolerance acts as a secondary barrier in plants susceptible to gall-inducing insects. https://lnkd.in/eAV-NsJk Tolerance Mitigates Gall Effects When Susceptible Plants Fail to Elicit Induced Defense Janete Ferreira Andrade, Eduardo Soares Calixto , Guilherme Ramos Demetrio, Henrique Venâncio, Marcos Vinicius Meiado , Denise Garcia de Santana, Pablo Cuevas-Reyes, Wanessa Rejane de Almeida and Jean Carlos Santos

#soil_biology_lab_methods. Today we start looking at the issues around multi-enzyme analyses. This is going to be a long journey as much to learn. Thankfully we are working with experts in the field, such as #Ellen_Kandeler University of Hohenheim and Andrew Margenot University of Illinois Chicago. What can soil enzymes tell us about the health of the soil and how well harmonised is this method?

A little #ThrowbackThursday on plant-microbe modeling - and how it helps farming outcomes 🌾 💡 Back in 2018 during her research fellowship with CEPLAS - Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences at the University of Cologne, CinSOIL CTO Antonella Succurro, PhD published a short outreach article (with video!) about her research on the dynamic relationship between plants and bacteria, focused on metabolic and symbiotic interaction. ⤵️ Bacteria play a vital role in helping plants get nutrients. 🌱 Sometimes, plants and bacteria have special relationships - like legumes creating "little homes" in their roots for bacteria, which "pay rent" by providing the plant with nitrogen. The full picture is of course complex. 💻 Computational methods can help to create models to understand how bacteria behave in different situations. 🔬 By understanding plant-microbe metabolic interactions, it is possible to create bacteria cocktails 🍸 which help plants grow better 💪🏼 in real farming conditions. ▶️ Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/eP_zy3Sd ➡️ Read the whole outreach article here: https://lnkd.in/ehF4_qKg #Research #Symbiosis #Ecosystem #Environment

The Zebrafish in my research entered the laboratory, before entering the samples, the necessary preparations must have been made, such as: disinfection of the tank where the fish are supposed to be placed. Adding non-iodine salt to the water to disinfect the tank water and reduce possible losses in The effect of physical damage to the fish that may have occurred during transportation to the experiment. The next step is to oxygenate the water for 4 consecutive days before the arrival of the samples. Temporary storage. The best temperature for keeping fish is 26 to 28 degrees Celsius. For at least the next 10 to 12 days, we will give them time to adapt to the new environment of the laboratory. In the first few days, avoid feeding too much and it is better to have one meal a day as much as possible to avoid causing light and temperature stress, etc. for examples. Avoid and use lighter food. After the adaptation period, the fish are weighed and added to the treatment tanks. Try to divide the fish into male and female groups with balanced weight in all treatments and repetitions.

New publication alert 🚨 Check out our new publication in Agriculture Journal. In this paper we have shown how diversity/complexity and traits of multiple biotic stressors (a vector, a non-vector herbivore insect and a vector-borne virus) elicit differential defense responses and change phenotypic parameters in legume hosts. This study involves nice and collaborative research work together with Dr. David Crowder’s lab and Dr. Kiwamu Tanaka’s lab. https://lnkd.in/dssyt4Fg #defense #stressors #insects #pathogens #antioxidants #phenotyping #Callose #Celldeath #Collaboration
