Chinese scientists have identified two key genes responsible for sorghum's resistance to Striga, a parasitic plant that causes significant crop losses. The breakthrough, which also highlights the potential of AI to predict key amino acid sites in strigolactone (SL) transporters, could have wide-ranging applications in enhancing parasitic plant resistance across various crops.
#Musk (the 'self proclamed' business 'genious'
fucked up AGAIN
and this time... big
BIG BIG fuckup
he pissed off ALL the #Workers' #Unions of Northern #Europe
who have now begun to boycott him en masse
The #engineers and #mechanics of #Tesla in #Sweden, the #distribution centers and the #transporters in #Denmark have resigned or went on stike
and it doesn't end here
"happy time for Tesla investors"
especially if you consider that Tesla is Musk's only company that makes some money.
"In a biological context, sucrose transport could constitute a novel element of plant saccharide-transporting machinery. Phylogenomic analyses of 164 Viridiplantae and 2993 Archaean, bacterial, fungal, and Metazoan aquaporins rationalized solute poly-selectivity in NIP3 sub-clade entries and suggested that they diversified from other sub-clades to acquire a unique specificity of saccharide #transporters"
