Researchers identified potential antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from Portulaca oleracea using computational methods. One candidate (PO2) showed promise in penetrating E. coli and S. aureus membranes, suggesting it could be a valuable tool against multidrug-resistant infections.
Researchers are utilizing genome editing techniques like CRISPR/Cas to enhance crop yields and resilience in harsh climates, including in sugarcane. This advances agriculture and addresses challenges posed by changing climates and global population growth.
