The volcanic tsunami at Kolumbo volcano 373 years ago was triggered by a violent eruption. This eruption caused a rapid expulsion of volcanic material and gases, displacing a significant volume of seawater. The interaction between the eruptive activity and the sea led to the generation of a tsunami. The explosion and subsequent collapse of volcanic […]
This soybean study uncovered 101 Quantitative Trait Nucleotides (QTNs) associated with flowering responses to photo-thermal conditions. Three candidate genes—Glyma.08G302500 (GmHY5), Glyma.08G303900 (GmPIF4c), and Glyma.16G046700 (GmVRN1)—exhibited non-synonymous substitutions. Using a diverse panel of 201 cultivars, a genome-wide association study assessed thermal response (TR) and interactive photo-thermal response (IPT) for soybean flowering time. The study identified SNPs […]
Are we gearing up for a solar activity surge next year? Scientists suggest an imminent peak in solar activity, expecting heightened sunspots, solar flares, and magnetic storms. This surge may influence our planet’s magnetic field and satellite communications, sparking auroras and enhancing space weather. Observatories and space agencies worldwide are on alert, monitoring the Sun’s […]
