Application value of protein phase separation mechanism of flowering regulation in domestication.

Global climate change and population growth pose a serious threat to world food security. The current crops varieties will be insufficient to meet food needs in the future, and there is an urgent need for high yielding and quality crops varieties with strong environmental adaptability. The rapid domestication of wild species to create new germplasm that can be applied to crop breeding is a new strategy for ensuring food security.

Enhancement of Cr(VI) reduction by indigenous bacterial consortia using natural pyrite: A detailed study to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the highly efficient and possible sustainable system.

Pyrite was applied to Cr(VI) bioremediation as an inorganic electron donor due to the ability to provide electrons, while the role of pyrite in Cr(VI) bioremediation where organics as electron donors remains unknown. Herein a pyrite-based Cr(VI) bioreduction process in the sediment system containing lactate was demonstrated to be effective to detoxify Cr(VI): over 2200 mg L Cr(VI) was continuously removed within 210 h with high reactivity (10.5 mg/(L·h)) all along.
