Comparing the pathogen numbers in backyard and commercial composts
Compost—organic material that is added to soil to help plants grow—is widely used by gardeners because it improves soil health and reduces the amount of organic waste in landfills. Although several studies have looked at commercial composts, very few have investigated backyard compost samples. In a new study, researchers have measured the number of pathogens in both types of compost.

Scientists take step to improve crops’ photosynthesis, yields
Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are known to photosynthesize more efficiently than most crops, so researchers are working to put elements from cyanobacteria into crop plants. A new study describes a significant step towards achieving that goal. “Absence of Carbonic Anhydrase in Chloroplasts Affects C3 Plant Development but Not Photosynthesis,” published August 11 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

New imaging, machine-learning methods speed effort to reduce crops’ need for water
Scientists have developed and deployed a series of new imaging and machine-learning tools to discover attributes that contribute to water-use efficiency in crop plants during photosynthesis and to reveal the genetic basis of variation in those traits.

Discovery of mobile disease detectors in plants could boost crop resilience - My Droll
Credit: CC0 Public Domain A study of how plants identify and react to invading pathogens using mobile disease detectors could help researchers breed disease-resistant crops. Many important crop plants can be devastated by pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Knowing exactly how some plants respond could give researchers the information to breed crops with the […]
