Burrowing Nematode in Spice and Fruit Crops and Their Management by Novel Biocontrol Strategies
Credit: Djiwanti, S.R.
The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis is one of the tropics’ ten most important plant parasitic nematodes, limiting the productivity of banana and black pepper plantations. Nematode-related losses are estimated to range between 20 to 80%. Chemical nematode control is unfavorable and detrimental to both human health and environmental health. Biological nematode control…

Biological Dark Matter of Human Genome: What's its Role?
BiologicalDarkMatter is the unclassified or poorly understood genetic material. About 20 years ago, scientists celebrated the first draft of sequenced human genomes. At that time, they predicted that humans had 25K to 40K genes that code for proteins, but now it seems to have 19K such genes expressed by a mere 1-2% of the genome. The remaining 98-99% of DNA do not do that, referred to as dark…

Multielement Profiling of Diverse Food Samples using ICP-MS
Sensitive, accurate, and comprehensive assessment of the mineral element and metal content of food is important to guide recommendations for nutrition and food safety. However, methods for this purpose currently described in the literature are limited in the range of elements measured, demonstrated application to diverse food matrices, and accessibility of instrumentation. Here, we describe an…
