How rice senses ambient temperature changes
Changes in ambient temperature influence crop production. Understanding of how crops sense and respond to temperature is thus crucial for sustainable agriculture. The thermosensitive genic male-sterile (TGMS) lines provide a system to investigate the underlying mechanisms.
Wildfires enhance phytoplankton production in tropical oceans
Products of wildfires are rich in biogenic elements and can enter the ocean through the atmosphere and rivers; however, little is known about their contribution to marine phytoplankton production. Here, Paleo-reconstruction revealed the relationship between wildfire and phytoplankton.
