#Crops

If you’re in North America enjoying fresh strawberries between now* and like March, check the package to see if it says grown in Florida.

If it is, my neighbours say de nada, you’re welcome, and I say #fuckICE. 🍓

*The picking of the early crops has been on for a few weeks now, but by the time we get to the peak in February it will smell like strawberry shortcakes whenever I go outside. 🤤 #Food #Crops

Start your weekend right--with free #PlantSci!

Dr. Kang Chong explores a new study that reports a #developmental route to #plant totipotency, offering promising strategies to improve regeneration efficiency in difficult-to-transform #crops.

This global profiling of lysine-malonylated #proteins in #rice leaf sheaths, and the changes in these proteins under biotic stresses, reveals #epigenetic mechanisms for developing #crops with broad-spectrum stress #resistance.

Proposed mechanism by which lysine malonylation enhances rice resistance to herbivores/viruses via metabolic/chromatin modulation, with the histone deacetylase OsHDA711 as a negative regulator. Additional panels illustrate data and morphological results supporting these findings.

#EPA urged to ban spraying of #antibiotics on US #food #crops amid resistance fears | Pesticides | The Guardian

theguardian.com/environment/20

> Use of 8m pounds of antibiotics and #antifungals a year leads to #superbugs and damages human #health, lawsuit claims […] “The use of antibiotics as #pesticides has the potential to select for antimicrobial resistant bacteria present in the environment,” the agency wrote. Meanwhile, consuming antibiotic residues on food can also disrupt the human #gut […]

The overuse of antibiotics, which are essential to treating human disease, as pesticides on fruits and vegetables threatens public health because it can lead to superbug bacteria that are antibiotic-resistant. Similarly, overuse of antifungal pesticides can lead to fungal infections that are less treatable with medical currently available drugs, the groups say.

“Each year Americans are at greater risk from dangerous bacteria and diseases because human medicines are sprayed on crops,” said Nathan Donley, environmental health science director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “This kind of recklessness and preventable suffering is what happens when the industry has a stranglehold on the EPA’s pesticide-approval process.”

Antibiotic-resistant infections sicken about 2.8 million people and cause about 35,000 deaths, annually, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, estimates. The CDC has linked “medically important antibiotics” that the EPA has approved for pesticide use on crops to antibiotic resistance in bacteria, increased risk of staph infections and increased risk of MRSA.

In 2024, global chickpea production amounted to 17.5 million tons, increasing by 5.8% compared to 2023 and almost reaching the record level of 2022. India, Australia, and Russia made the main contribution to this increase.

#chickweed, one of the most beautiful #plant on earth, rarely appreciated with its true value.
It's not always gold what shines.

It's #flowers have 5 v-shaped white petals, looks like 10, make little white stars.

One of the best wild #edible plant, extremely good in #salad
#medicinalplant too, with #saponins etc...

A lot of thoughts for people in Gaza, like @eslamradwan1_D_5 @Rania

Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of Sri Lanka's economy, accounting for 8.3% of GDP and 26.3% of the country's total employed population in 2023. Thanks to its favorable climate and fertile soils, the republic produces a wide range of agricultural products and is also one of the key exporters of tea, cinnamon, and coconut.
