Nanotechnology Potential in Seed Priming for Sustainable Agriculture

Anderson do Espirito Santo Pereira et al.

Summary: Our agriculture is under threat from climate change and depletion of resources and biodiversity. A new agricultural revolution is needed to increase crop production and ensure food quality and safety sustainably. Nanotechnology can contribute to sustainable agriculture by improving seed metabolism, plant growth, productivity, and nutritional quality of food through seed nano-priming.

Testing Whether Pre-Pod-Fill Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Soybean Is Subject to Drift or Selection Over 100 Years of Soybean Breeding

Malinda S. Thilakarathna et al.

Summary: This study evaluated pre-pod symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) traits in soybean cultivars across a century of breeding in Ontario, Canada. Modern soybean cultivars showed similar or slightly higher pre-pod SNF compared to historical cultivars, suggesting that despite no direct selection by breeders, SNF traits have been maintained and potentially improved in modern soybean breeding. However, some modern cultivars exhibited low pre-pod SNF levels, indicating a level of genetic drift may exist in certain pedigrees.
