Scientists find gene makes plants more carefree under climate stress
2015-10-07 13:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: By 2050, well have to meet the gargantuan challenge of growing 50% more food, to feed a burgeoning global population. Enter climate-resilient agriculture, possibly the best chance we have of actually attaining this goal: as countries grapple with the effects of climate change--drought, higher salinity--increasingly well have to depend on crops that can also flourish despite its inconsistencies. Research on agricultural resilience abounds, but the latest offering looks to plant genetics for a solution,...

BASF and University of Göttingen scientists find new specific insecticide target protein
2015-05-13 06:00:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Research Triangle Park, USA and Göttingen, Germany - Scientists from BASF Crop Protection and the University of Göttingen in Germany have found a new insecticide target protein. The discovery marks the first identification of vanilloid receptors, the TRPV ion channels (transient receptor potential vanilloid), as insecticide targets. The results, published in the scientific journal Neuron on May 6, 2015, could help to better manage insecticide resistance and have implications for research and insecticide usage. read more

Scientists call 'geoengineering' tests find ways cool the planet
2015-02-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mercury: Scientists are so concerned about global warming that they're now calling for tests to find ways to cool the planet -- the first step toward exploration of a highly controversial field that sounds like science fiction. "Geoengineering," which is aimed at changing the climate by blocking the sun's powerful rays, may be necessary if society can't agree on how to stop carbon emissions that are heating up Earth, a panel of experts said Saturday in San Jose at the meeting of the American Association...
