OsTCP19-H significantly increases grain yield and NUE under LN and MN conditions. view more  Credit: IGDB Chinese scientists from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have found a gene that plays an important role in helping rice adapt to low soil nitrogen. Nitrogen fertilizer application is a strategic challenge for sustainable agriculture: On the one hand, it plays an indispensable role in increasing crop yields, thus ensuring global food ...

Metal ion sieving using a bioinspired nanochannel membrane CREDIT XIN Weiwen Abstract: Lithium is an energy-critical element that is considered to be a geopolitically significant resource. However, the supply of lithium may not be enough to meet continuously increasing demand. As a result, scientists are looking for new ways to extract lithium ions. Bionic idea boosts lithium-ion extraction Beijing, China | Posted on January 1st, 2021 Ion selective membranes have already been used extensively for water treatment and ion sieving in electrodialysis technology. However, conventional membranes ex...
