🚨 New Research Alert! 🍅🧫
Boosting Tomato Growth with Marine Yeasts 🌊🌱
Researchers discovered that two marine yeasts, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa DMKU 7233-1 and Papiliotrema laurentii DMKUFC10-4, produce high levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a key plant growth hormone. When applied to tomato seeds, these yeasts significantly improved germination rates and enhanced seedling growth—especially stem development.

🔍 Highlights:
• 🧪 49 marine yeast isolates screened for plant-beneficial traits
• 🌊 Two strains identified with strong IAA production: R. mucilaginosa & P. laurentii
• 🍯 Cultivation in sugarcane molasses + L-tryptophan boosted IAA yields (1,300+ mg/L and ~700 mg/L)
• 🌱 P. laurentii achieved 100% tomato seed germination
• 🍅 R. mucilaginosa promoted the most robust stem growth

✨ Key takeaway: Marine yeasts grown on low-cost substrates like sugarcane molasses could serve as eco-friendly bio-stimulants to sustainably boost crop productivity. 🌍🌾

🚨 New Research Alert! 🌍💧
Tracking Future Droughts in Northeast Thailand
Climate change is reshaping rainfall and temperature across the Chi River Basin, one of Thailand’s drought-prone regions. Researchers analyzed two key meteorological drought indices—the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI)—to project future drought patterns under global climate scenarios.

📖 Read the full article: https://kasetsartjournal.ku.ac.th/abstractShow.aspx?param=YXJ0aWNsZUlEPTg2OTF8bWVkaWFJRD05Mzkz&from=4

🔍 Highlights:
• 📊 SPI predicts alternating dry–wet–dry cycles through the 2020s to 2080s.
• 💦 SPEI suggests wetter conditions in the near future (2020s–2050s), turning drier towards the 2080s.
• 🔗Both indices strongly correlate (r = 0.86–0.97), but SPI responds faster to climate changes than SPEI.

✨ Key takeaway: By combining SPI and SPEI, researchers recommend a composite drought indicator for better monitoring—aligning with guidelines from the World Meteorological Organization. This approach offers a holistic way to predict and adapt to future drought risks in agriculture and water management.

Purple power for healthier goats (and people!) ✨
Did you know that plants rich in anthocyanins—the natural pigments that give berries, grains, and purple flowers their vibrant color—not only benefit human health but also improve goat nutrition? 🌱💜

A recent study shows that adding anthocyanin-rich plants to goat diets:
✅ Boosts antioxidant activity and reduces oxidative stress
✅ Improves growth, meat quality, and milk composition
✅ Enhances levels of healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids
✅ Produces milk and meat with added functional health benefits for consumers
👉 Key insight: Using anthocyanin-rich plants in goat farming supports goat health, increases productivity, and creates more nutritious dairy and meat products — a sustainable win for both farmers and consumers! 🌍🥛🍖
