Developing countries rely on poorly bioavailable plant-based sources of iron (i.e.FeSO4), leading to iron deficiency anemia. Heme iron is more bioavailable, but predominantly found in red meat. Iron chlorophyllin (IC) utilizes the porphyrin ring of plant-based chlorophyll to bind iron. IC has...

An intelligent sprayer can improve the efficiency of spray application in plant production and has been demonstrated for field applications. The same principle can be used inside greenhouses (Yan et al., 2018) where a LiDAR sensor is used to generate a 3D map of plant canopies and calculate...

It has been established that spring dissolved reactive Phosphorus (DRP) loads drive the extent of HABs in the Western Lake Erie Basin. Many practices intended for mitigating P losses are intended to reduce particulate P transport and are usually not effective in controlling DRP transport....

Flower longevity, one of the most important characteristics of horticulture crops, is determined by the senescence of petals. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in petal senescence remain elusive. Autophagy, a pathway that is widely studied for longevity, plays an important role in the...
