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

News from the RIFCON Effect-Modelling-Team: A new paper by Tom Martin et al. is now freely available in 'Science of the Total Environment': "Reproductive toxicity in birds predicted by physiologically-based kinetics and bioenergetics modelling" The paper describes a physiologically based kinetics modelling and TKTD modelling approach to predict chemical concentrations inside eggs and the resulting effects on embryo and chick growth. The combined model made accurate, mechanistic predictions of reproductive toxicity in birds (reductions in hatchling weight and 14-day old chick weight), representing a new application for DEB-TKTD modelling and demonstrating the potential for environmental risk assessment of pesticides.

🌱 Exciting Update from UW: Reducing Enteric Emissions from Dairy Cows! 🐄🌿 We had a fantastic discussion yesterday about our ongoing efforts to reduce individual enteric emissions from dairy cows. We are dedicated to finding innovative solutions that benefit both the environment and the dairy industry. 💬 Watch or listen to the presentation to learn more about our groundbreaking initiatives. #Methane #DairyCattle #Genetics

#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

Transparency in science is critically important. With the Open Science event series, the goal is to provide a platform for constructive and transparent discourse on the science developed behind our smoke-free products. Watch numerous events on topics, such as smoke-free products, tobacco harm reduction, and aerosol analysis to name a few ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eEC6qxqZ #ScientificTransparency #Transparency #TransparentScience #OpenScience

👏Huge congrats to our student Tong Guan on this recent publication! With a collaboration between the ILL - Institut Laue Langevin, #PlantedAG, and ETH Zürich, Tong's research project investigates the #thermal and #pressure-induced protein structuring in meat analogs. 📰 "𝑰𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒖 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕-𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒈 𝒕𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏" aims to share the results of observing for the first time the cooling process of high moisture extrusion in situ by small-angle #neutron scattering, with a custom-made cooling die. 🔎 Check here for more insights! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e5hnQ7Gs
