ORHS grad s research might boost food production

ORHS grad s research might boost food production Carolyn Krause Special to The Oak Ridger Kris Niyogi, an Oak Ridge High School graduate, led more than 10 years of research at Berkeley, Calif., that resulted in explanations of how green plants protect themselves from excess sunlight. The work earned him election in 2016 to the National Academy of Sciences. This prestigious honor was previously awarded in 1998 to his mother, Audrey Stevens, a biochemist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She discovered the enzyme that copies DNA into the RNA molecules it makes, including messenger RNA. Applying the new understanding of plants’ photoprotection mechanisms, Niyogi and his collaborators are identifying ways to help improve food crop productivity.

LankaWeb – FEATURES Fertilizer Saga in Sri Lanka: A Considered Opinion

Posted on June 14th, 2021 by Professor W. A. J. M. De Costa -Senior Professor and Chair of Crop Science Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture University of Peradeniya Why use fertiliser on crops? Fertilisers are used for two purposes. One purpose is to provide essential plant nutrients that are required for crops to produce an economically-important product (i. e. food for humans, feed for animals, a variety of industrial products, etc.). Just as people require food, crops require nutrients for producing what is expected from them. When a crop is harvested and its yield taken away, a large amount of nutrients is taken out of the system (i. e. the soil). Therefore, continuous cropping of a land leads to the depletion of nutrients in the soil. Application of fertilisers to such a soil replenishes its nutrient pool and makes continuous cropping possible. This is the second purpose of using fertilisers.
