Scientists find a way to increase soybean yield through biological fixation, could remove the need for nitrogen fertilizers
Nitrogen fertilizers are a double-edged sword for soybean farmers. While they’re vital for large crops, they’re also expensive and potential pollutants. Thankfully, Brazilian researchers found a different way to boost yields by increasing the number of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the plant’s roots, according to a ScienceDaily report. Nitrogen is essential to the production of protein. Soybeans […]

Our sense of smell may be linked to our risk of neurological disorders
Researchers from West Virginia have come across a connection between the sense of smell and the chances of developing brain disorders. In their recently published study, they found that movement of the wings of moths affected the animals’ olfactory sense, which in turn affected their brains, an article in News Wise stated. This discovery could […]

Pretty cool: New class of solvents breaks down plant biomass into sugars to be used for various biofuels and bioproducts
American researchers have come up with a unique way to significantly reduce the cost of bioproducts such as biofuels. They designed a closed-loop biorefinery that can create the solvents it needs to process plant biomatter into bioproducts. The ability to produce these important and expensive chemicals will dispense with the need to add expensive solvents […]

Researchers identify and investigate the characteristics of gold nanoparticles in two plants
Chinese researchers confirmed the presence of gold within two different plants found in the wild. An article in Science Daily stated that wild samples of ramie (Boehmeria nivea) and horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) absorbed artificial gold nanoparticles from external sources. Gold has been found in other plants before. A species of alfalfa was even cultivated so […]
