By precisely modifying the genetic makeup of plants, gene editing technologies have emerged as a revolutionary tool in agriculture, offering immense potential that enables scientists to enhance desirable traits, improve crop yields, and develop resistance against diseases and pests. The benefits of gene editing in agriculture are significant. It enables »
Digital twin technology has been increasingly adopted in modern farming to enhance productivity, optimize resource utilization, and improve decision-making processes. Here are some applications of a digital twin for the establishment of modern farming: Precision Agriculture: Digital twin technology allows farmers to create virtual representations of their agricultural systems, including »
Prediction of protein subcellular localization is a computational approach that aims to predict the subcellular location or compartment where a protein is likely to reside within a cell. Here's how subcellular localization prediction can be utilized for protein prediction: Protein Function Prediction: The subcellular localization of a protein can provide »

The program covered Mymensingh, Netrokona, Sherpur, Jamalpur, Bogura, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Kurigram, Nilphamari, Dinajpur, »
Plastic made from cane sugar also threatens the environment. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg have found that perch change their behavior when exposed to so-called bioplastic. Traditional plastic, based on fossil oil, has flooded the earth and there is microplastic in all living things. This has led to intensive »
With support from the United States Department of Agriculture, a graduate student from Washington State University (WSU) will develop a gene editing strategy to shorten the tails of Suffolk sheep in lieu of tail docking. Brietta Letham is proposing to use CRISPR-Cas9 technology to edit specific sections of the sheep »
A new farming system developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin aims to solve one of the biggest problems in modern agriculture: the overuse of fertilizers to improve crop yields and the resulting chemical runoff that pollutes the world's air and water. The smart farming system uses »
Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the Center for Sustainable Resource Science, RIKEN found that the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana expresses thousands of transcripts between regular genes and jumping genes. The researchers report that the plant alters the expression of these hybrid genes in response »
