Researchers have conducted a unique bioengineering experiment: phytase gene of Pantoea agglomerans (Gram-negative and known to be an opportunistic pathogen) was transplanted to Arabidopsis thaliana ...
Plants need phosphorus, an essential nutrient, to grow. This nutrient is present in fertilizers and applied to crops to increase their yields. One downside of too much phosphorus in this agricultural ...
Phosphorus is a critical raw material that should be recycled more efficiently. There is also a need for more environmentally friendly production methods for organic phosphorus compounds. A recently ...
OCCUPATIONAL poisonings in agricultural workers caused by organic phosphorus insecticides have become fairly common since the compounds were introduced. These compounds are potent cholinesterase ...
In aquatic systems, recycling of phosphorus (P) is strongly influenced by microbial metabolic responses. This study was designed to look at the generation of P (as soluble-reactive phosphate (SRP)) ...
Infinite vastness: Gases are constantly exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. The study presented here shows how tiny marine organisms contribute significantly to the release of the ...
When people think about agricultural pollution, they often picture what is easy to see: fertilizer spreaders crossing fields or muddy runoff after a heavy storm. However, a much more significant ...
A new study from UCLA Health has found that long-term residential exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos is associated with more than a 2.5-fold increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. A new ...
