Academic Background Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) holds significant value in the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors due to its rich secondary metabolites, such as cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids. Cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), exhibit notable pharmacological activities, with THC being ps...

Academic Background With the rapid growth of the global population, which is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, food security has become an increasingly pressing issue. Agricultural productivity is affected by various factors, with pest damage to crops being particularly severe. The tobacco cutworm (Spodoptera litura), a polyphagous pest widely...

Academic Background With the continuous growth of the global population, the world population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, particularly in developing countries, where the demand for food will significantly increase. As the most populous country in the world, India needs to increase its crop production by 50% to meet the demand for food,...

Academic Background With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the potential applications of nanomaterials in environmental remediation, biomedicine, and energy conversion have garnered increasing attention. Among these, cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanoparticles have become a research hotspot due to their unique redox properties, high stability, and exc...

Research Background Global climate change, particularly global warming, has exerted immense pressure on the global carbon cycle. As a significant carbon sink, the ocean absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂), leading to ocean acidification, which adversely affects marine organisms reliant on carbonate minerals. Coastal wetlands, such as inte...

Iodine (I) is a trace element of significant importance to human health and the environment. It is a major component of human thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), directly influencing thyroid function. However, approximately 1.9 billion people worldwide are affected by Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD), with symptoms i...

Uranium (U) is a radioactive element widely present in the environment, primarily existing in its hexavalent (U(VI)) and tetravalent (U(IV)) oxidation states. Under oxidizing conditions, U(VI) is the dominant stable form, while under reducing conditions, U(VI) can be reduced to U(IV). This reduction process can occur through abiotic pathways (e.g.,...

Molybdenum (Mo) is one of the most abundant trace metals in the ocean, and its distinct behavior under different redox conditions makes it an effective indicator of paleoceanographic redox conditions. Particularly in anoxic and sulfidic environments, the speciation and behavior of Mo differ significantly from those in oxic environments. However, th...

Selenium (Selenium) is an essential trace element widely found in nature and involved in various biological metabolic processes. However, when selenium concentrations are too high, they can cause severe toxic effects on humans, animals, and the environment. Industrial activities, especially coal combustion in coal-fired power plants, are one of the...

Soil is the product of terrestrial biogeochemical processes and an essential foundation for human survival. Microorganisms endow soil with life properties and drive the biogeochemical cycles within it. Microorganisms play a crucial role in improving soil structure, enhancing fertility, controlling pollution, and responding to global climate change....
