Project description:The use of biofertilizers is becoming an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to promote sustainable agriculture. Biochar from microalgae can be applied to enhance the productivity of food crops through soil improvement, slow nutrient absorption and release, increased water uptake, and long-term mitigation of greenhouse gas sequestration. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the stimulatory effects of biochar produced from Spirulina platensis biomass on the development and seed production of rice plants. Biochar was produced by slow pyrolysis at 300°C, and characterization was performed through microscopy, chemical, and structural composition analyses. Molecular and physiological analyses were performed in rice plants submitted to different biochar concentrations (0.02, 0.1, and 0.5 mg mL-1) to assess growth and productivity parameters. Morphological and physicochemical characterization revealed a heterogeneous morphology and the presence of K and Mg minerals in the biochar composition. Chemical modification of compounds post-pyrolysis and a highly porous structure with micropores were observed. Rice plants submitted to 0.5 mg mL-1 of biochar presented a decrease in root length, followed by an increase in root dry weight. The same concentration influenced seed production, with an increase of 44% in the number of seeds per plant, 17% in the percentage of full seeds per plant, 12% in the weight of 1,000 full seeds, 53% in the seed weight per plant, and 12% in grain area. Differential proteomic analyses in shoots and roots of rice plants submitted to 0.5 mg mL-1 of biochar for 20 days revealed a fine-tuning of resource allocation towards seed production. These results suggest that biochar derived from Spirulina platensis biomass can stimulate rice seed production.

Project description:A critical problem facing all U. S. aquaculture is loss due to disease. In the past year alone, diseases accounted for 90% of all losses of trout intended for sale, greatly impacting the livelihood of our farmers. Previously, we focused on sustainable aquaculture efforts by evaluating the effects of dietary replacement (marine-based to plant-based protein sources) on rainbow trout. Through this effort, we developed a rainbow trout strain that thrives on an all plant-protein formulated diet (PSel/UI strain). In selecting for diet tolerance, we discovered this strain has also undergone positive selection for nonspecific disease resistance to Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV). Therefore, the goal of this project was to determine the mechanisms behind this nonspecific immunity by performing a pathogen challenge and measuring several disease performance characteristics among PSel/UI and two other trout strains commonly used in the commercial aquaculture industry, one selected for disease resistance to these pathogens for several generations and the other completely unselected. We examined lysozyme activity changes in serum and innate gene expression using RNA-sequencing by sampling kidney, spleen, intestine, and liver at time zero and at 4, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-infection with IHNV. We then integrated innate gene expression with disease performance characteristics and made comparisons among strains to identify significant differentially expressed genes and compared with the genetic background of the fish. Through these objectives, we narrowed a set of candidate genes useful in the co-selection of two aquaculturally-important traits: enhanced nonspecific disease resistance with diet utilization. This project was supported by Agriculture and Food Research Initiative Competitive Grant no. USDA-NIFA-SRGP-006544 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
