Nanotechnology in Agriculture: Which Innovation Potential Does It Have?
Recent scientific data indicate that nanotechnology has the potential to positively impact the agrifood sector, minimizing adverse problems of agricultural practices on environment and human health, improving food security and productivity (as required by the predicted rise in global population), while promoting social and economic equity. In this context, we select and report on recent trends ...
متن کاملNanotechnology in Agriculture
Introduction Nanotechnology is the creation and utilization of materials, devices and systems through the control of the properties and structure of matter at the nanometric scale. Nanobiotechnology is a new and exciting field of research, in which recent advances in nanotechnology are integrated into the biology realm, in particular into molecular biology and cell biology. ‘Nano’ usually refer...
متن کاملDoes intercropping have a role in modern agriculture?
I ntercropping—growing two or more crops at the same time on a single field—is an ancient practice still used in much of the developing world. For example, in Africa, corn (Zea mays L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), or millet (Panicum and Pennisetum spp.) are grown with pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.) cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp), pigeon peas (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.), or beans (...
متن کاملDMT1: which metals does it transport?
DMT1-Divalent Metal (Ion) Transporter 1 or SLC11A2/DCT1/Nramp2 - transports Fe2+ into the duodenum and out of the endosome during the transferrin cycle. DMTI also is important in non-transferrin bound iron uptake. It plays similar roles in Mn2+ trafficking. Voltage clamping showed that six other metals evoked currents, but it is unclear if these metals are substrates for DMT1. This report summa...
