Optimizing hydrogen gas production from genetically modified rice straw by steam co-gasification.

Future sustainability visions include clean, renewable energy from hydrogen, which can be produced, among other ways, by biomass steam gasification. This study explores strategies addressing the limitations in steam co-gasification of herbaceous biomass, using Monster-TUAT1 rice straw, a genetically modified rice plant with a taller and bigger stalk developed by Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT), and Giant Miscanthus, a promising energy crop, as the feedstock. Firstly, compared with the typical rice straw, the Monster TUAT1 demonstrated superior steam gasification performance with a 1.

Current applications and future trends of artificial senses in fish freshness determination: A review.

Fish is a highly demanding food product and the determination of fish freshness is crucial as it is a fundamental factor in fish quality. Therefore, the fishery industry has been working on developing rapid fish freshness determination methods to monitor freshness levels. Artificial senses that mimic human senses are developed as convenient emerging technologies for fish freshness determination.

Overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana ACBP6 in transgenic rapid-cycling Brassica napus confers cold tolerance.

Background: Rapid-cycling Brassica napus (B. napus-RC) has potential as a rapid trait testing system for canola (B. napus) because its life cycle is completed within 2 months while canola usually takes 4 months, and it is susceptible to the same range of diseases and abiotic stress as canola.
