Hornwort Protein Could Improve Photosynthesis Efficiency in Crops Researchers have discovered a unique molecular feature in hornwort plants that could help increase crop efficiency. The small protein component, named RbcS-STAR, modifies the key photosynthesis enzyme Rubisco, causing it to cluster into dense structures within plant cells. Rubisco is essential for capturing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis but is naturally slow and prone to interacting with oxygen, which reduces plant growth efficiency. By forming these concentrated compartments, Rubisco operates more efficiently. Experiments showed that introducing RbcS-STAR into other plants, including Arabidopsis, triggered the same clustering effect, suggesting the protein could function across multiple plant species. This discovery offers a potential path to engineering crops like wheat and rice to improve photosynthesis and increase yields. While the clustering mechanism shows promise, researchers caution that plants must also efficiently deliver carbon dioxide to Rubisco for full effectiveness. Future work will focus on integrating this carbon delivery system, potentially enabling more sustainable agricultural production with higher yields and reduced environmental impact.

Ultraviolet Light Researched as a Pest Control Technique - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, December 14, 2022) Ultraviolet (UV-C) light has the potential to successfully manage mite (Tetranychus urticae) populations without reducing yields or resorting to toxic pesticides, according to research published by scientists at University of Florida. “Since very few miticides (sprays) are currently effective in suppressing twospotted spider mites in strawberries, the use of UV light provides an effective physical control method that can be used in fields and in high-tunnel strawberry production systems,” says study author Sriyanka Lahiri, PhD. The findings provide an encouraging technique for farmers, but further investigation is needed to observe the success of this approach in other cropping systems.   Researchers compared the efficacy of four treatment approaches, including use of the insecticide spinetoram, a low powered application of UV-C light twice a week, a high-powered application of UV-C light twice a week, and an untreated control. Researchers also looked closely at mite egg hatchability by rearing eggs in the laboratory and then transferring them out to the field for treatment with UV-C light. Results were not consistent across the two-year trial as researchers indicate that in most of the field trials, no effect was seen due to low levels of natural infestation. However, during […]
