Thrips: Biology, Behavior, and Agricultural Impact

2 Comments / Entomology, Agri. Academics, All Posts / /

Thrips: Overview and Impact Order Thysanoptera Body Characteristics Slender, elongated body measuring 1.5–2 mm in length. Undergoes modified hemimetabolic (remetabolic) development. Wings Two similar strap-like pairs of wings, fringed with long, movable setae. Mouthparts Asymmetric piercing-sucking mouthparts. Feeding Habits Some species are predatory, feeding on mites and small insects. Many are phytophagous, consuming plants, pollen, […]

Plant Science with a Focus on Small Proteins.

1 Comment / Research Proposals, Agri. Research, All Posts / /

Introduction Symmetry breaking is a fundamental biological process that drives the development of complex structures from initial symmetrical forms. In plants, this phenomenon is particularly evident during flower development, where radial symmetry (actinomorphy) or bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) emerges, contributing to the vast diversity of floral forms observed in nature (Coen & Meyerowitz, 1991). Understanding the

Springtails, Mole Crickets, and Earwigs: Ecological Roles and Agricultural Impacts

Leave a Comment / Entomology, Agri. Academics, All Posts / /

Springtails, mole crickets, and earwigs are fascinating examples of arthropods that play significant roles in both natural ecosystems and agricultural landscapes. These small yet impactful organisms contribute to the balance of soil health, nutrient cycling, and pest control, while occasionally posing challenges as agricultural pests. Springtails enhance soil fertility through decomposition, mole crickets disrupt plant

Mitochondrial Fission in Plant Mitochondria

Leave a Comment / Research Proposals, Agri. Research, All Posts / /

Introduction Mitochondria are highly dynamic and essential organelles that play a central role in the metabolic and energetic functions of eukaryotic cells. They are best known for their involvement in ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation, which serves as the primary energy source for cellular processes. Beyond energy production, mitochondria participate in diverse metabolic pathways, including

Developmental Adaptations for Plant Growth in Soil: Regulated by AGC1 Kinases

2 Comments / Agri. Research, All Posts, Research Proposals / /

Information “The ability of plants to adapt to their soil environment is critical for optimizing growth and development under diverse conditions (Schroeder et al., 2013). Among the myriad of regulatory mechanisms, protein kinases play a central role in translating environmental signals into physiological responses (Hardie, 1999). AGC1 kinases, a subgroup of the AGC family of
