Regulatory Small RNAs for a Sustained Eco-Agriculture

Abstract

Small RNA (sRNA) has become an alternate biotechnology tool for sustaining eco-agriculture by enhancing plant solidity and managing environmental hazards over traditional methods. Plants synthesize a variety of sRNA to silence the crucial genes of pests or plant immune inhibitory proteins and counter adverse environmental conditions. These sRNAs can be cultivated using biotechnological methods to apply directly or through bacterial systems to counter the biotic stress. On the other hand, through synthesizing sRNAs, microbial networks indicate toxic elements in the environment, which can be used effectively in environmental monitoring and management. Moreover, microbes possess sRNAs that enhance the degradation of xenobiotics and maintain bio-geo-cycles locally. Selective bacterial and plant sRNA systems can work symbiotically to establish a sustained eco-agriculture system. An sRNA-mediated approach is becoming a greener tool to replace xenobiotic pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemical remediation elements. The review focused on the applications of sRNA in both sustained agriculture and bioremediation. It also discusses limitations and recommends various approaches toward future improvements for a sustained eco-agriculture system.

Synergistic Interconstruction of the Green Development Concept in Chinese Rural Ecological Agriculture

“…This study aims to empirically analyze the impact of the application of the concept of green development in agriculture on farmers' income, to propose the necessity and practical significance of green development in improving farmers' living standards, and to provide substantive data support for the shift from green development to green governance. Based on the definition of ecoagriculture and the knowledge of the connotation of green development [26,27], the evaluation indicators of the level of green development in agriculture are the amount of chemical fertilizer, the amount of plastic film, the number of pesticides, and the amount of agricultural diesel.…”

Carbon Dots from Tire Waste for the Photodegradation of Methyl Orange Dye, Antimicrobial Activity, and Molecular Docking Study

“…The uncontrolled discharge of poorly treated; vibrant wastewater into water bodies is viewed as a pressing concern for public health [2] . Dyes, particularly, have garnered attention as organic pollutants with adverse implications for human well‐being, aquatic ecosystem, and the environment [3] . Methyl orange is an azo dye often employed as an indicator in various chemical reactions, exhibits a characteristic transition from orange‐red (acidic) to a yellow (basic) [4] .…”
