REDUCING FERTILIZER IN SUGARBEETS CAN PROTECT WATER QUALITY

Reducing fertilizer in sugarbeets can protect water quality

The loss of nutrients Ventilation Fans from fertilizers can impair surface and ground waters.Environmentally sensitive crop management requires applying only enough fertilizer to ensure economic crop yields.We found that sugarbeets grown in soils rich in organic matter in the Upper Klamath Basin can be fertilized at very low rates and used to remov

A digital atlas to characterize the mouse brain transcriptome.

Massive amounts of data are being generated in an effort to represent for the brain the expression of all genes at cellular resolution.Critical to exploiting this effort is the ability to place these data into a common frame Ventilation Fans of reference.Here we have developed a computational method for annotating gene expression patterns in the co
