Plant Growth Regulators in Mississippi Cotton Mississippi cotton growers often experience challenges during the early season. Farmers deal with weather extremes, including excessively cool or warm weather, excessive rainfall and flooding, and drought in some years. These conditions could plague cotton from late April through mid-June. As a result, cotton often suffers root-development issues, reduced plant stature, and delayed maturity. These setbacks complicate management strategies as the crop advances into the reproductive stages.

Radiotherapy and Imiquimod Are Viable Treatment Options for Lentigo Maligna No significant treatment differences were noted in the rate of treatment failure, skin symptoms, or quality of life between treatment with radiotherapy and imiquimod in patients with lentigo maligna. Radiotherapy and imiquimod are efficient and well-tolerated non-surgical treatment options for patients with lentigo maligna (LM), according to the results of a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

NIR fluorescent nanosensor detects plant growth hormone Making it easier to monitor plants and their growth, a first-of-its-kind nanosensor could help safeguard healthy crops. Working alongside teams from Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory in Singapore and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology interdisciplinary research group’s Disruptive and Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (SMART DiSTAP) recently developed a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor that can detect indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the primary plant growth hormone. The technology uses Corona Phase Molecular Recognition (CoPhMoRe), a nanotechnology approach designed by the SMART DiSTAP and MIT researchers. It enables the design of highly selective sensors by coating single-walled carbon nanotubes with custo
