In this new preprint, we show that fatty acid biosynthesis in oil-enriching plant tissues is not isolated but is associated with a simultaneous breakdown of fatty acids. #Lipid_turnover #Beta_oxidation #Plant_lipid

Reducing methane emissions by developing low-fumarate high-ethanol eco-friendly rice Root exudates regulate methane emissions in rice paddies, with fumarate and ethanol discovered as two main compounds regulating methane emissions. Employing this finding for breeding resulted in novel...

70% reduction of methane emissions from paddy rice by blocking root exudation of fumarate. Field-tested over 3 seasons with yield-stable results. Maintains 8.96t/ha yields.
