Revolutionizing agriculture with synthetic biology (unpaywalled)
"Synthetic biology is here to stay and will transform agriculture if given the chance. The huge challenges facing food, fuel and chemical production make it vital to give synthetic biology that chance—notwithstanding the shifts in mindset, training and infrastructure investment this demands. Here, we assess opportunities for agricultural synthetic biology and ways to remove barriers."

NASA Flew Gas Detectors Above California, Found ‘Super Emitters’: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-06/nasa-flew-gas-detectors-above-california-found-super-emitters #ClimateChange #FFHCI
In a report published in Nature on Wednesday, scientists estimated that 10% of the places releasing methane -- including landfills, natural gas facilities and dairy farms -- are responsible for more than half of the state’s total emissions. And a fraction of the 272,000 sources surveyed -- just 0.2% -- account for as much as 46%.

Why plants panic when it rains: https://phys.org/news/2019-10-panic.html
UWA Professor Harvey Millar said after spraying plants with water and observing the effect, the researchers noticed a chain reaction in the plant caused by a protein called Myc2: "When Myc2 is activated, thousands of genes spring into action preparing the plant's defences. These warning signals travel from leaf to leaf and induce a range of protective effects. When a raindrop splashes across a leaf, tiny droplets of water ricochet in all directions. These droplets can contain bacteria, viruses, or fungal spores. A single droplet can spread these up to 10 metres to surrounding plants."
