When the female gametes in plants become fertilised, a signal from the sperm activates cell division, leading to the formation of new plant seeds. This activation can also be deliberately triggered without fertilisation,…
In order to avoid dangerous climate change and to satisfy the global energy needs, energy systems have to change. Hopes are especially high in countries of the Global South for the low-carbon transition to propel…
An international research team has examined the links between extreme drought, biodiversity and production losses at global level. With the aid of a world-wide experiment in 100 locations on six continents, they have…
Brazil is the most important sugar cane producer world-wide. During the production process, large amounts of residual biomass accumulate. An international research project in which TH Köln/Germany is participating has…
A new study on “Sustainability limits needed for CO2 removal” warns that the maximum carbon removal of 11.3 billion tonnes, set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ignores problems such as food…
Transforming food systems around the world would lead to socio-economic benefits summing up to trillions of US dollars a year, a new global policy report produced by economists and scientists of the Food System Economics…
The so-called Rice Yellow Mottle Virus (for short: RYMV) is responsible for high crop losses in Africa, particularly among small-scale farmers. A research team from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), Germany and…
Scientists from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) have developed a robust, first ever speed breeding protocol for rice that will achieve four to five crops of rice in one year – almost twice the potential…
Extreme weather events are occurring more frequently. A recent study has shown that plant diversity can help mitigate the impacts of climate change by increasing plant productivity and ecosystem stability.
A German research team have aligned IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) benchmarks on land emissions with national greenhouse gas inventories. They re-analysed emission pathways consistent with Paris…
