How small genes trigger biosafety

How small genes trigger biosafety "tornadoes"

A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later, which is known as the "Butterfly Effect". And seemingly insignificant small things such as a hair, a piece of skin tissue, a small insect, or a seed can also trigger the "butterfly effect" and trigger a biosafety "tornado"...

Progress in research on broad-spectrum disease resistance genes in rice in China

Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, June 15 (Reporter Li Wei, Xiong Xianghe) The reporter learned from Huazhong Agricultural University that Professor Li Guotian's team had discovered a new rice broad-spectrum disease resistance gene RBL12. The field experiment results showed that RBL12 could recover about 40% of the yield loss in the case of rice blast disease in the field...

New technology can image plant genes in 3D

New technology can image plant genes in 3D

Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, June 14 (Reporter Liu Xia) Every tissue of plants has hundreds of different types of cells, which convey information about Functional requirement and environmental changes. Scientists at the Salk Institute of Biology in the United States have developed a new imaging technology that can capture the entire "inner" world of plants at an unprecedented resolution in 3D, opening the door to understanding how plants respond to climate change and cultivating more adaptable creatures...
