EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLLED RELEASE FERTILIZER TO BALANCE SUGARCANE YIELD AND REDUCE NITRATE LEACHING TO GROUNDWATER

Examination of the Effectiveness of Controlled Release Fertilizer to Balance Sugarcane Yield and Reduce Nitrate Leaching to Groundwater

Groundwater pollution by nitrate leaching from sugarcane fields in Okinawa is recognized as a critical issue.Controlled release fertilizer (CRF) has the potential to reduce N leaching from cropping systems.The study focused on confirming the effectiveness of CRF at balancing sugarcane yield and reducing nitrate leaching from sugarcane fields via a

Fibroblastic reticular cells of the lymphoid tissues modulate T cell activation threshold during homeostasis via hyperactive cyclooxygenase-2/prostaglandin E2 axis

Abstract Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in the T cell zone Scalp of lymph nodes (LNs) are pivotal for T cell survival, mobility, and peripheral tolerance.Here, we demonstrate that during homeostasis, FRCs also suppress T cell activation via producing high level of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) due to their thousands-fold higher cyclooxygenase-2 (COX
