Whole transcriptome sequencing has a wide range of applications, such as growth and development regulation (including animal metamorphosis, plant flowering, fruit development, etc.), environmental adaptation mechanisms (including drought, salt tolerance, disease resistance, etc.), immune interaction (including bacteria, fungus, virus infection). ...
Many will move further inland ā but many are likely to be forced across national borders, to trigger more displacement. Drought and famine are climate-related natural disasters. So are forest fires, extreme heat waves, catastrophic windstorms and devastating floods, driven either by torrential rainfall or rising sea levels, or both. ...
The United Nations’ ambitious 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were announced at the beginning of 2016. By the end of 2019, however, it was clear that progress toward the 17 goals was not strong enough for them to be met by the 2030 target date. Yet there was some progress, with humanitarian efforts gaining ground in some areas and losing ground in others. That was before ...
Enhance the stress resistance of crops, and have obvious effects on cold resistance, drought resistance and disease resistance. The fulvic acid can effectively regulate the closure of plant stomata, and can automatically close the stomata of the epidermis under drought conditions, reducing the evaporation of water and achieving drought ...
Since the release of the WMO Update, meteorological services around the world have been busy informing decision makers of the national and local impacts, which include extreme rainfall and flooding, drought and heatwaves. Specifically, the International Center for the Investigation of the El NiƱo Phenomenon, CIIFEN, has organized briefings for policy makers and ...
Also Friday, a bipartisan group of 47 state Assembly members delivered a letter to Brown asking him to declare a special session to tackle problems related to California's ongoing drought. Racing to meet a deadline for passing the marijuana plan hashed out late Thursday, senators on Friday night approved three bills to establish a regulatory structure. ...
Researchers at the University of Western Australia conducted a review of existing literature, and found that the research gaps include a lack of climate change-scenario modelling for diseases caused by plant viruses, and little information on the effects of drought, flooding and heat waves on plant virus diseases. In addition, there is little or no research on the impacts of ...
More than a billion people could soon benefit from improved yields of the important drought-resistant crop pigeon pea now that its genome has been sequenced by a global partnership. ...
Being conducted in collaboration with the Centre for Food and Genomic Medicine (CFGM) in Perth, WA, the three-year, $1.5 million project will enable researchers and breeders to accelerate lupin crop improvements such as drought tolerance, disease resistance and optimal flowering time. The research team will build upon established resources and employ powerful next-generation ...
