Researchers “shed light” on plants’ circadian clocks: Findings could be used to improve future crops
-(Natural News) Every person has a circadian clock, an invisible internal mechanism synchronized with solar time. This “clock,” according to the National Sleep Foundation, drives a person’s circadian rhythm, which regulates daily sleep-wake cycles. As it turns out, even plants have one, too. First discovered in 1729 by French geophysicist and chronobiologist Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de […] -

-(Natural News) Plastic waste is an ongoing environmental concern. Yet while people attempt to reduce plastic pollution by making more eco-friendly lifestyle choices, the problem persists. Microplastics, which are very small pieces of plastic similar in size to a grain of rice or are too small to be seen by the naked eye, pollute both […]

-(Natural News) While ancient agricultural practices are well-documented in the archaeological record, the same can’t be said for food preparation and production. This can be attributed to the relative rarity of extensive texts on the subject — best exemplified by the classical text “De re coquinaria” (On The Subject of Cooking), which has been attributed […]

-(Natural News) Scientists have created natural weedkillers using commonly grown plants. In their study, published in the Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, a team from the University of Samarra in Iraq explored the potential of three plants — oleander (Nerium oleander), olives (Olea europaea) and castor (Ricinus communis) — as natural alternatives to commercial weedicides. A natural way to […]
