A Look Inside A DIY Rocket Motor

[Joe Barnard] made a solid propellant rocket motor, and as one does in such situations, he put it through its paces on the test stand. The video below is not about the test, nor is it about the mot…

Once established, cosmos are quite #DroughtResistant. Good choice for a #ClimateAction #Gardening 👍

#CosmosBipinnatus has significant #antioxidant activity & protective effect against oxidative DNA damage. Cosmos bipinnatus & #CosmosSulphureus have properties protect liver; due to presence of #quercetin & #phenolic compounds.

#SulphurCosmos flower petals are edible & can be added to salads or cooked in various ways. Another raw #edible variety is #CosmosSaudatus aka #KingsSalad.

We compared the influence of two #resistance inducers, BTH and Chol-BTH (#ionicliquid) on #plantdefense & #antioxidant properties of #plants using #transcriptomics and targeted #metabolomics.

We found out that Chol-BTH, due to its physicochemical & biological properties (upregulation of lignification-related genes, #peroxidase activity, total #phenolic compounds levels) can also be useful agent inducing plant resistance against viral pathogens

Salicylic acid regulates phenolic acid biosynthesis via SmNPR1–SmTGA2/SmNPR4 modules in Salvia miltiorrhiza

SmNPR1, a key protein in the salicylic acid signaling pathway, dynamically regulates salicylic acid-induced phenolic acid biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza by
