The review explores the innovative use of rice residue for developing Cellulose nanocrystals and reinforcement applications of CNCs for wastewater treatment. Rice residue, rich in lignocellulose components like cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, presents a sustainable resource for biocomposite fabrication. The review highlights the significant challenges of managing rice residue, particularly the environmental impact of its open field burning, which contributes to severe air pollution and health risks. By examining recent advancements in the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from rice residue, the review emphasizes their potential for enhancing water treatment technologies and contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation). The review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of research such as facts and challenges related to using CNCs for water treatment, and suggests future directions for developing eco-friendly, high-performance water filtration and its reinforcement perspectives, underscoring the importance of integrating waste valorization with sustainable practices.

Burning rice straw contribute to Atmospheric Pollution, which makes it unsustainable in the long-run, but are still opted by farmers due to faster removal of residue. Lignocellulose Degrading Microorganisms, facilitating sustainable management, may accelerate the breakdown of various crop residues. A study comprised of twenty-one treatments including fungal strains, bacterial strains and microbial consortia.

Agrobacterium-mediated T-DNA integration into plant genomes represents a cornerstone for transgenic expression in plant basic research and synthetic biology. However, random T-DNA integration can disrupt essential endogenous genes or compromise transgene expression, stressing the need for targeted integration strategies. Here we explored CRISPR-aided targeted T-DNA integration (CRISTTIN) in Arabidopsis, leveraging CRISPR-induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) to facilitate precise T-DNA insertion.

Imbalances in cellular copper are increasingly implicated in metabolic disorders. Food-derived peptides are gaining attention for their ability to alleviate metabolic disease symptoms with little to no toxicity. In this work, we enriched copper-binding peptides from enzymatic digestions of rice bran protein hydrolysates Cu(ii)-based immobilized-metal affinity-based separations, identified the sequences by mass spectrometry, and performed physicochemical and sequence analysis of the enriched peptides.
