The practice of biomimicry already taps into nature's ingenuity oe for example, the famous hexagonal skin of Norman Foster's Gherkin was inspired by the Venus Flower Basket sponge,

For example, needle-leaved Canadian evergreens make the most of scant sunlight and their leaf litter feeds the acidic soils that nurture networks of microorganisms, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria,

Tens of thousands of workers carefully harvest the flowers, package them into attractive bouquets, and then bar-code them, before they re flown to Europe

whose goods it then sells at Dutch flower auctions. 3. International demand for Africa s crops is soaring Global prices for African cocoa,

cotton, and even green beans are at or near historic highs. Cocoa, the key ingredient in chocolate, commands double

Europe s surging demand for fresh vegetables and cut flowers has been a windfall for African farmers.

#New non-GM technology platform for genetic improvement of sunflower oilseed cropscientists have developed techniques for the genetic improvement of sunflowers using a non-GMO based approach.

The new technology platform can harness the plant's own genes to improve characteristics of sunflower develop genetic traits

Among oilseed crops sunflowers are one of the most important sources of edible vegetable oil for human consumption worldwide.

Sunflower and other oilseed crops are the source of the vast majority of vegetable oil used for cooking and food processing.

Over the centuries the sunflower has been cultivated for traits such as yield. However along the way many useful genetic variations have been lost.

This new technology allows us to pinpoint key genetic information relating to various useful traits in the sunflower including wild sunflower species. It gives us a method to quickly create variability for further breeding to enhance the quantity quality and natural

when to germinate grow make food flower and even age. Like eyes the phytochrome is a light sensor that converts sunlight into chemical signals to get these jobs done.

when to flower says Vierstra. Plants use the molecule to sense where they are in the canopy;

or to flower and make fruit. Based on the light available the phytochrome cycles between an inactive and active state.

Unlike corn or even sugar ethanol, halophyte algae (algae that grow in saltwater) do not compete with food stocks for freshwater. oewhen the cost of pumping ocean water into so-called wasteland regions such as the Sahara

halophyte algae farmers could use solar-powered pumps to move water up from sea level or even up from underground aquifers such as the Nubian sandstone aquifer system that sits beneath desolate regions of Libya, Chad, and Sudan.
