The food and fuel that farms itself | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory AI generated voice with Rob Martienssen’s and Evan Ernst’s actual voices Under the right conditions, duckweed essentially farms itself. Wastewater, ponds, puddles, swamps—you name it. If there’s enoug...

Duckweed practically grows itself—and now CSHL scientists have decoded its genes to reveal why. The tiny plant shows huge promise for sustainability, biofuel, & carbon capture. 🌿🦆
Tiny plant, massive potential!

As we can expect PubMed dysfunction more and more or to be swamped with fake journals I suggest you get acquainted to this nice alternative: europepmc.org

Hope you can keep doing your amazing science! If not, best of luck! We can only hope to find and keep the best job for all of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻😊

Corn’s ancient ancestors are calling | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory The domestication of maize is one of the greatest examples of humankind’s impact on evolution. Early farmers’ pre-industrial plant breeding choices turned corn from a nearly inedible crop into the maj...

The future of farming is written in the genome. 🌽🔬Scientists at CSHL are using MaizeCODE, to unlock ways that could allow crops to survive drought, resist disease, and feed more people.
