Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

2. GPI – Global Peatland Initiative
Backgroud, in 2015, Peat in the news:
– The 2015 peat fires in Indonesia leading to increased GHG
emission, significant impacts on health and livelihoods of peat
dependent communities
– The discovery of large peat areas in the Congo basin and in Peru,
which are being targeted for development. And reports of peat
fires in the Congo DRC
– The issue of peat subsidence putting economies at risk globally
in PLACES as far apart as the Netherlands and Sumatra
6. The Issue of Fire.
– The need for drainage to use and access tropical peats (logging, NFTP
extraction, in almost all cases has led to fire, due to the nature of peat;
– Mekong delta: cleared in 1920 and drained through steam drained waterways
during the2002 El-Nino hit by fires, restored and since 2009 free of fires
– Central Kalimantan: the clearing and draining of the so called ex PLG has led to a
persistent fire problem, leading to firs in 1997/98. 2002, 2004/2006/2010, 2013
and 2015
– Riau: the use of peat for pulpwood and estate crops (palm oil) has led to
persistent and repeated fires, in 2014 and 20015 causing major air pollution
challenges..
7. The Issue of Fire.
– In the Congo basin, Amazon and on Papua (mountain peat) still pristine
peat. However fires are becoming a problem there too.
– The CHALLENGE:
how to use peat sustainable;
to ensure peat remains intact but the needs of communities and local
economies;
fiscal resources are met;
8. Global Peatland Initiative (GPI)
1)Peatlands are important to human societies around the world. They
contribute significantly to climate change mitigation and adaptation through
carbon sequestration and storage, biodiversity conservation, water regime
and quality regulation, and the provision of other ecosystem services that
support livelihoods.
2) Immediate action is required to prevent further peatland degradation and
the serious environmental, economic and social repercussions it entails.
Existing options to tackle the issue vary, and for that reason implementation
should be regionally adapted to local environmental, economic and social
needs and characteristics.
9. Global Peatland Initiative (GPI)
3) A landscape approach is vital and good practices in peatland
management and restoration must be shared and implemented across
all peatland landscapes to save these threatened ecosystems and their
services to people.
4) Local communities should receive support to sustainable manage
their peatlands by preserving traditional non-destructive uses and
introducing innovative management alternatives.
5) A comprehensive mapping of peatlands worldwide is essential to
better understanding their extent and status, and to enable us to
safeguard them. Research and monitoring should be improved to
provide better maps and tools for rapid assessment and transparent
10. The need to put peat higher on the
International Agenda
1) Clear and consistent policy messages that underline the value of peat
2) Act now and immediately conserve intact peat lands
3) Put the necessary fiscal arrangements in place
4) Channel funding through existing international financial arrangements
5) Build an international institutional framework around coordination and policy alignment.
6) Identify and address key science and knowledge gaps through targeted research agendas
7) Stakeholders must address low awareness by raising investment in educatiopon and knowledge s on
peatlands
8) Ensure open dialogues on peat policy development at all levels
11. The First Step:
THE BRAZZAVILLE DECLARATION
Indonesia, Republic of Congo and Democratic Republic of
the Congo agreed:
TO COLLABORATE TO CONSERVE THE PEAT IN THE
CUVETTE BASSIN
LEARN FROM EACH OTHER EXPERIENCE IN MANAGING
PEAT.
INITIATE A JOINT IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP
12. Flood Risk, due to peat subsidence on Borneo
Source: J Wells et al, 2013: Forests, flood, People and Wildlife on Borneo: report to UNEP
13. Next Steps
– Seeking similar to Brazzaville, similar arrangements for:
– The amazon basin
– The island of Papua
– This aiming to protect the remaining large areas of pristine peat in the world.
