Scientists discover the first algae that can fix nitrogen — thanks to a tiny cell structure. A newly discovered ‘organelle’ that converts nitrogen gas into a useful form could pave the way for engineered plants that require less fertilizer 🌱🌱. In a remarkable scientific breakthrough, an international team of researchers has discovered the “nitroplast” — the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle within a eukaryotic cell. The discovery of the nitroplast was made by a team led by Tyler Coale, a postdoctoral scholar at UC Santa Cruz, and Jonathan Zehr, a distinguished professor of marine sciences at the same institution. The findings were published in two recent papers, showcasing the importance of their work. #nitroplast #nigrogenfixation #nitroplastnitrogenfixingorganelle #plantorganelle #plantcell #algae #eukaryoticcell #mitochondria #nucleus #cell #nitrogen #N2 #scientistwhoslays #science #scientist #researchlife #scholarslife #botany #plantlover #plantsofinstagram #plantsarelife #lifeofaresearcher #nature #naturelover

In a remarkable advancement in the field of plant communication, a team of scientists from Japan, led by molecular biologist Masatsugu Toyota, has made a significant discovery that has been published in Nature Communications. The research team has successfully captured real-time⌚ footage demonstrating how plants respond to stress signals. These signals are transmitted through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are emitted when neighboring plants are under stress. The study provides valuable insights into the plants' defense mechanisms against environmental threats. It was conducted using genetically engineered Arabidopsis plants, along with a fluorescence microscope🔬to monitor the stress signals. This pioneering work builds upon observations made in 1983, which first revealed the complex 'language' of plants communicated through chemical, electrical, and underground signals. #PlantCommunication #Linkedinforcreators #ScienceAdvancement #NatureCommunications #StressSignals #VolatileOrganicCompounds #PlantDefense #EnvironmentalThreats #Arabidopsis #FluorescenceMicroscopy #GeneticEngineering #Botany #PlantScience #ResearchDiscovery #ScientificBreakthrough

Edition 17(2) - 2017 - Article: Efficient and new method for Tectona grandis in vitro regeneration ABSTRACT - The aim of this study was to develop a shoot regeneration protocol for Tectona grandis by examining the effects of pretreatments, regeneration culture medium, adventitious rooting, and acclimatization. The best organogenic potential was achieved when hypocotyls and cotyledonary segments from seedlings germinated on a medium containing TDZ, were cultured for four weeks on MS medium supplemented with BAP/GA3. With TDZ pretreatment during seed germination, up to 70% of the cotyledonary segments (0.5 TDZ pretreatment and 1.0 BAP + 0.5 GA3 during regeneration, mg L-1) and 60% of the hypocotyl explants (0.1 TDZ pretreatment and 1.0 BAP + 0.5 GA3 during regeneration, mg L-1) resulted in shoot regeneration. Finally, 65% of the regenerated shoots rooted, of which 60% were successfully acclimatized ex vitro. Our protocol increases regeneration efficiency for teak and it can serve as a platform for genetic transformation to improve this important tree species.

I'm thrilled to announce that I have completed my degree in Zoology. Delighted to share my latest research findings on the insecticidal and growth inhibitory effects of green synthesized nanoparticles on Tribolium castaneum, commonly known as the red flour beetle. My study highlights the immense potential of eco-friendly nanoparticle synthesis methods in combating agricultural pests while minimizing environmental impact. Through innovative green synthesis techniques, I tried to harnessed the power of nature to create nanoparticles with remarkable insecticidal properties, effectively targeting T. castaneum while posing minimal risk to beneficial organisms and ecosystems. Furthermore, my research reveals promising results in inhibiting the growth and reproduction of these pests, offering a sustainable solution to pest control challenges. These findings not only contribute to the advancement of green nanotechnology but also hold significant implications for agricultural practices worldwide. #GreenNanotechnology #SustainablePestManagement #InnovationInAgriculture #LinkedInResearch"

Edition 17(4) - 2017 - Article: Grouping of anthurium genotypes based on genetic and morpho-anatomical features ABSTRACT - The study aimed at investigating the anatomic and DNA content characteristics of 12 Anthurium genotypes. A large genomic amplitude was observed in the genotypes, ranging from 4.95 to 22.74 pg of DNA. Differences in DNA content, assessed by flow cytometry, allowed the differentiation between the genotypes A. andraeanum, A. affine, A. bomplandii, and A. gracile and the hybrid (A. lindmanianum × A. guianesis) and clustered the group A. raimundii, plowmanii and jemanii of IFT 258, in all analyses. Anatomical studies clustered the genotypes A. andraeanum (Astral and Rubi) and distinguished the hybrid and A. bomplandii from the other genotypes, with anatomical features specific to each genotypes. Cluster analysis allowed grouping of the genotypes A. raimundii and A. affine, bomplandii and gracile, A. jemanii and plowmanii, and the cultivars Astral and Rubi, and isolated the hybrid. Demonstrated the importance of grouping in the diagnosis of species belonging to the genus Anthurium.
