Dear Colleagues,? Book proposals are invited for our reputed?Scopus Indexed book?series. Details?can?be found here: https://lnkd.in/gWVKgtya? We are poised at maintaining a high academic standard of this series and would prefer receiving proposals for books with multiple editors representing a geographical diversity (editor composition must be not only from India/Asia), and each having a reasonably high?h-index. Editors are expected to choose only such topics which they themselves have worked on and?can deal with full authority.? #Plant #Climate #Sustainable #Plantphysiology #performance #prodcution #protection #botnay #Agriculture #Nanotechnology #Proposals #Book #plantbiology #hormones #biotechnology #biodiversity #pollution #Signalling #stress #Rhizosphere #pathways #gene #Biosynthesis?#climatechange

If you missed it, you can now watch Jean Ristaino's fascinating lecture, 'Tracking a Plant Killer: Historical and Scientific Reflections on the Irish Famine Pathogen.' Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Richard O'Hanlon #RoyalIrishAcademy

What plants can teach us In this article from our biosolutions bulletin, we dive into what we can learn from plants and apply to how we produce food. Humans, plants, and animals share a genetic kinship through the fundamental building blocks of life. This interconnectedness provides a foundation for inspiring sustainable biology-based solutions in industrial manufacturing by drawing upon the biological processes and adaptability found in nature. The article explores how understanding and harnessing the genetic similarities and evolutionary relationships between these organisms can help us develop innovative, sustainable approaches to manufacturing that align with the resilience and efficiency seen in natural systems.

Liu Linsan's PhD research on barley epidermal development holds promise for advancing both resilient and eco-friendly agricultural methods, while also offering insights into essential biological mechanisms. This research is crucial, because it deepens our understanding of how plants, particularly barley, develop and protect themselves. By unravelling the mechanisms behind epidermal cell patterning and cuticle deposition, we gain insights into plant biology. Knowing these processes is crucial for agriculture, yield improvement, and environmental concerns.

Chuan Liao’s (Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) project assesses the global potential for utilizing organic underutilized resources (OURs) to advance the circular bionutrient economy (CBE) in support of a transition to zero-carbon agriculture. Cornell Atkinson and The 2030 Project provide funding for faculty to seize urgent and unique opportunities for impact-oriented climate research.

?? In January, VIB submitted applications for three field trials involving genome-edited maize, building on promising greenhouse results indicating increased resistance to climate stress and improved digestibility. ?? The VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology employs CRISPR-Cas9 for precise genetic modifications, aiming to enhance plant resilience to climate changes and diseases. ?? The trials, conducted in collaboration with ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek), seek to validate these findings in actual cultivation conditions. ?? 1st trial: led by Prof. Hilde Nelissen, focuses on making maize resistant to prolonged drought by manipulating DNA folding components. ?? 2nd trial: under Prof. Lieven De Veylder, investigates whether eliminating a cell cycle regulator enhances resistance to DNA damage induced by environmental stress. ?? 3rd trial: directed by Prof. Wout Boerjan, aims to reduce lignin content in maize cell walls for better sugar extraction, contributing to more digestible plants. ?? These trials align with ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek)'s strategic research collaboration with VIB, underscoring the importance of translating greenhouse success into practical, sustainable agricultural solutions.

Our paper on Trichoderma-Aspergillus interaction is published: https://lnkd.in/eTnsNCfi Congratulations to our team lead @Dr. Nataliia Voloshchuk and zilfa irakoze and collaborators Seogchan Kang and Josh Kellogg as well as support from Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences Applied Evolution seed funds from Blair Siegfried's leadership. This paper is bittersweet for me. It is my first 'aflatoxin' paper without my PhD advisor, @Dr. John Linz and many many days of pushing forward despite advice to 'leave aflatoxin research'. During my PhD, I became obsessed with why aflatoxigenic Aspergillus spp. would produce aflatoxin. Here, we are using and understanding the chemical signals of Trichoderma biocontrol strains with the goal of convincing Aspergillus to stop producing aflatoxin.

Pleased to share that my first article as part of my PhD project MicroLink (funded by Hrvatska zaklada za znanost (Croatian Science Foundation)) is now published! ??♀? Special thanks to all the co-authors and my supervisor Ines Petri? ?? #microbiology #marine #pollution #sediment #Adriatic
