Regulations and guidelines for tolerable concentrations of these potentially plant-toxic elements in soils are based on the assumption that the toxic effects of the metals are substantially independen...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |Agricultural soils accumulate trace metals, particularly copper and zinc, as a result of their presence in wastes (sewage biosolids and manures) and fungicides that are applied over long periods of ti...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |The idea by K-State's Wenqiao "Wayne" Yuan and Zhijian "Z.J." Pei is to grow algae in the ocean on very large, supporting platforms. The National Science Foundation awarded th...
Power and Electrical Engineering |The study of Indiana water sources found that those near fields that practice continuous-corn rotations had higher levels of nitrogen, fungicides and phosphorous than corn-soybean rotations. Results o...
Studies and Analyses |Tocopherols exist in four forms (¦Á, ¦Â, ¦Ã, and ¦Ä) of which ¦Ã-tocopherol is found in greatest concentration in soybeans. However, ¦Á-tocopherol has the greatest antioxidant activity, and is the for...

Life Sciences |Bryony Bonning, professor of entomology, and Allen Miller, professor of plant pathology and director of the Center for Plant Responses to Environmental Stresses, are looking at a way to genetically mo...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |Published in the September 9 online issue of the journal Nature, the study reveals that the organism boasts an unusually large genome size — more than twice that of closely related species — and an ex...
Life Sciences |The current major limitation of biofuel production is the lack of adequate feedstocks, soybeans and corn, for biodiesel and ethanol production, respectively. Halophytic (salt-loving) micro-algae can b...
Life Sciences |The biologists conducted these experiments in a moss, but the findings illuminate processes in two tissues—root hairs and pollen tubes—found in all seed plants. Root hairs are extremely fine individua...

Agricultural and Forestry Science |Americans eat about 20.5 pounds of rice a year, while globally people annually eat about 126 pounds each, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Yet a big bite is also take...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |Soybean aphids made their first appearance in North America in the summer of 2000, resulting in tremendous crop losses for farmers. U of I researchers began immediately searching for a variety of soyb...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |Despite these recent uncertainties, 'up' is precisely the direction an Iowa State researcher believes agriculture is headed for at least the next 10 years. Wally Huffman, professor i...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |There are Cynics who see only catastrophic answers to Earth’s population explosion: War and pestilence come to mind.Then there are those who look a little deeper. Not even two feet deep, to be...
