We first assessed the feasibility of engineering callose deposition into secondary cell walls using the Arabidopsis thaliana model. We transformed Arabidopsis plants with the cals3m construct using three specific secondary cell wall promoters (pAtIRX8, pAtIRX3, pZeZCP4 (refs. 25,26,27,28)) and de...
The year 2023 marks the mid-point of the 15-year period envisaged to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, targets for global development adopted in September 2015 by all United Nations Member States. To help track where we are on this journey, and to amplify success stories, in this ...
Paul Gruenwald: It depends on countries. A lot of countries that are tied closely to the U.S. They may have strong trade ties, they may have U.S. dollar denominated debt, and they may be sensitive to capital inflows. Those countries probably don't want to get too far away from the ...
Scheinbaum, in her morning press conference on Thursday, said President Donald Trump's decree to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico is restricted to "the continental shelf of the United States" because Mexico still controls much of the body of water. ...
The global food system is a key driver of land-use and climate change which in turn drive biodiversity change. Developing sustainable food systems is therefore critical to reversing biodiversity loss. We use the multi-regional input-output model EXIOBASE
and New Mexico. With those minerals we produce high-quality fertilizers and animal feed, then market and deliver our finished products—about half to customers in North America, and half to customers around the world, including those in all key agricultural regions. We conduct this critical work...
Trump also signaled more levies on imports would be higher than reciprocal tariffs, such as the 25% steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico that the president has paused implemented earlier this month. Autos, computer chips and pharmaceuticals would also be tariffed at higher rates than ...
Among continents, Asia has the highest number of edible insects (932 species), followed by North America (mainly Mexico) and Africa. The countries with the highest consumption of insects are Mexico (450 species), Thailand (272 species), India (262 species), DRC (255 species), China (235 ...
In one of the more remarkable stories in plant domestication, humans independently domesticated 4 different wild species, in parallel, and in the process transformed these wild species into cultivated plants that bear copious long, strong, and fine white fibers. Photo by Jonathan Wendel. Cotton ...
