Utilizing nature to protect soybean roots
Comparison of anterior midgut ultrastructure of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) fed A (wild type) or B (GMB151 (Cry14Ab expressing) plants). In C. elegans fed GMB151, the intestinal lumen is enlarged in size and filled with fibrous material, a lysate from microvilli-like structures (MvLs) (Figures 5, 6, and 7). In GMB151 plant-feeding nematodes, loss of MvL cytoplasm due to rupture of…

Guardians of the beach: How hidden microbes protect coastal waters amid climate change
Pore ​​water samples were collected from a high-energy beach subsurface estuary in Stinson Beach, California, USA, over a 2-week spring tidal transition period during both the wet and dry seasons. Changes in microbial community composition analyzed by V4 16S rRNA gene sequencing were contextualized by extensive hydrological and physicochemical measurements. The vertical depth structure of the assemblage remained consistent throughout…

Security protocol leverages quantum mechanics to protect data from attackers during cloud-based computing
Optical implementation. Credit: arXiv (2024). DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2408.05629 Deep learning models are used in a variety of fields, from medical diagnostics to financial forecasting, but they are computationally intensive and require the use of powerful cloud-based servers. Reliance on cloud computing poses significant security risks, especially in sectors such as healthcare, where privacy concerns may make hospitals hesitant to use AI…

How diversity in heat tolerance can help protect coral reefs
Adjacent corals at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef show varying degrees of bleaching. Photo by Melissa Nagle New research from Southern Cross University has discovered previously unrecorded diversity in the heat tolerance of corals in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, raising hope that the corals’ own genetic resources may hold the key to helping them recover and adapt. In…
