Lignocellulosic biomass is recalcitrant due to its heterogeneous structure, which one of the major limitations for use as a feedstock methane production. Although different pretreatment methods are being used, intermediaries formed known show adverse effect on microorganisms involved in formation. This review, apart from highlighting efficiency and engineering, chemical, biochemical point views, will discuss strategies increase carbon recovery form by way amending pretreatments lower...
Abstract Type-IV glandular trichomes, which only occur in the juvenile developmental phase of cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), produce acylsugars that broadly protect against arthropod herbivory. Previously, we introgressed capacity to retain type-IV trichomes adult from wild tomato, Solanum galapagense, into species cv. Micro-Tom (MT). The resulting MT-Galapagos enhanced trichome (MT-Get) introgression line contained 5 loci associated with enhancing density plants. We genetically...
Abstract The management of micronutrients, such as boron (B) and zinc (Zn), is critical for plant growth crop yields. One method rapid intervention to mitigate nutritional deficiency the foliar supply B Zn. Our study investigates effect foliar-supplied Zn availability on global transcriptional modulation in soybean ( Glycine max ). response was more widespread compared RNA-Seq leaves under different levels revealed modulated genes with potential roles homeostasis stress that may be key...
Methane is an important greenhouse gas contributing to the global climate change leading warming and livestock accounts as one of major sources methane emission. Although, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has developed guidelines quantify emissions from enteric fermentation manure management, it recently reported that National emission in U.S. underestimated by a factor 1.5–1.7. This study estimated Mexico based animal census data 2012. On average, total produced about 344 275 t·d−1...
Anaerobic digestion technology is being widely employed for sustainable management of organic wastes generated in animal farms, industries, etc. Nevertheless, biodigester microbiome still considered a “black box” because it regulated by different physico-chemical and operational factors. In this study, the bacterial diversity composition sites full-scale lagoon type (23,000 m3) fed with dairy manure, viz., influent, beginning, middle, final effluent were analyzed. The registered total 1445...
A centralized bioenergy unit was simulated, focusing on optimizing the manure transport chain, installing a biogas plant, operation costs of process, upgrading, organic fertilizer production, and economic analyses. Comarca Lagunera from northeast Mexico chosen as study zone due to existing number dairy farms livestock population (64,000 cattle heads). Two scenarios were analyzed: The first scenario consisted selecting one unique location for anaerobic digesters 16 farms; second decentralized...
ABSTRACT Type-IV glandular trichomes, which only occur in the juvenile phase of tomato development, produce acylsugars (AS) that broadly protect against arthropod herbivory. Previously, we introgressed capacity to retain type-IV trichomes adult from Solanum galapagense into cv. Micro-Tom (MT). The resulting MT- Get line contained five loci associated with enhancing density plants. We genetically dissected and obtained a sub-line containing locus on chromosome 2 (MT- Get02 ). This genotype...
