Fluorescence In situ Hybridization (FISH) and Genomic In situ Hybridization (GISH) use fluorescent probes to locate specific DNA sequences or differentiate between entire genomes.
A new study reveals that adding biochar to reductive soil disinfestation significantly reduces antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements, and metal resistance genes by up to 59.5%, offering a sustainable approach to combat antimicrobial resistance in agricultural soils.
A new study reveals that extracts from Citrullus colocynthis (bitter apple) effectively repel and kill the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.
Researchers have discovered that a fungus living harmlessly inside citrus plants can fight the bacteria causing citrus canker. The study identifies two key antifungal compounds that could replace copper-based bactericides with safer, eco-friendly alternatives.
A new study shows that adding 5% Sargassum zhangii to rohu fish feed significantly improves growth, antioxidant response, and resistance to Aphanomyces invadans fungal infection — a sustainable alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture.
A new study reveals how GABA supplementation transforms pepper anther culture, cutting contamination while boosting embryo formation—offering a major leap forward in rapid, homozygous line production.
New research published in Ciência Rural (2025) reveals that Bacillus strains isolated from cotton roots significantly enhance plant growth and biochemical performance. The study highlights the potential of eco-friendly bacterial inoculants to replace chemical fertilizers and promote sustainable cotton production.
A new study uncovers 36 biosynthetic gene clusters and 569 metabolites from Streptomyces tunisiensis, isolated from the Red Sea nudibranch Chromodoris quadricolor, offering insights into marine microbiome chemistry and potential drug discovery.
The study reveals how integrating rhizobacteria and biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized from Cannabis sativa effectively combats Pseudomonas syringae, the bacterial canker pathogen in plums. The eco-friendly bio-nanotech approach achieved up to 82% disease reduction in greenhouse trials.
हुनान कृषि विश्वविद्यालयका वैज्ञानिकहरूले पत्ता लगाएका छन् कि कम तापक्रममा (३००°C) तयार गरिएको बायोचार २.५–५% प्रयोग गर्दा परालको विघटन ३६% सम्म बढ्छ र मिथेन र नाइट्रस अक्साइडजस्ता हरितगृह ग्यास ९०% भन्दा बढी घट्छ।
A new study from Hunan Agricultural University reveals that low-temperature biochar (300 °C) applied at 2.5–5% accelerates straw decomposition by up to 36% and reduces methane and nitrous oxide emissions by over 90%, offering a sustainable path to soil health and climate mitigation.
