A roadmap for securing a larger and greener global rice bowl
Rice systems face the dual challenge of producing more and being more efficient in the use of water, labor, nutrients, and pesticides. An article published in Nature Communications on Dec 9 assessed performance of 32 rice cropping systems, altogether accounting for 50% of global rice cropland.
Procyanidin C1 is a natural agent with senolytic activity against ageing and age-related diseases
Advancements of studies with model organisms that cellular senescence drives ageing and age-related pathologies have elicited widespread efforts to identify compounds of a potential to selectively kill senescent cells, now termed as 'senolytics'.
