The ability for crops to withstand flooding has always been something that farmer's have dreamed of. In times of flooding, farmers are often left with fields that can't be planted and crops that have drowned. The loss of these crops to natural disasters such as flooding can be greatly reduced by increasing the plants' ability to withstand these dis...

Cadmium is known to pose severe risks to human health and thus is often studied by scientists. In some instances, researchers aim to decrease cadmium accumulation or improve the crops' ability to resist cadmium. Other researchers choose to study plants that can absorb cadmium in large quantities. These plants are studied for phytoremediation of cad...

The ability to cultivate foods with a strong salt tolerance allows for increased grain output in areas of saline-alkali soil. Areas that were previously unable to cultivate grain due to alkaline conditions would become usable land for planting grains with a higher salt tolerance. In this study, technologies such as NMT allowed researchers to monito...

When you were a kid, your mother may have encouraged you to eat healthy because it would keep you from getting sick. Good nutrition can certainly help your immune system, and funnily enough, the same is true for plants! In agriculture, people have found that the use of potassium-rich fertilizer tends to reduce incidence of disease, leading them to ...

Last month, YoungerUSA's president, Yue (Jeff) Xu, was invited to visit the milk factory belonging to Sanyuan Beijing, a prominent dairy company in China. During this meeting, YoungerUSA shared ideas for how our technology, NMT, could help improve their food safety and quality. Every year nearly 420,000 people worldwide die from food-related diseas...

This video briefly outlines the history of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) and YoungerUSA's very first commercialized NMT IAA fl ux sensor. From 1880 up to today, all plant scientists can agree that plant hormones, such as auxins, are very important in understanding plant growth and regulation. Now YoungerUSA provides the world's first product that can ...

Great news! We've just launched a new system in the NMT Physiolyzer® series: the IAA Physiolyzer® . This is the very first commercialized system in the world that can measure indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) flux in live samples, a feat which is sure to revolutionize research in areas such as development and signal transduction. So what is IAA? It's a pl...

This video features a newly discovered application for NMT: cadmium screening in celery! Heavy metals like cadmium can pollute the soil and accumulate in crops, leading to health problems in consumers. In 2018, Xu Rui-shen et al. successfully used NMT to screen for cadmium accumulation in celery roots, helping to determine which varieties took up t...

The question of "nature vs. nurture" is a long-standing debate that spans many scientific disciplines. The idea of our innate "nature" is even more popular with genetic research currently, as scientists eagerly search for the cures to diseases in our genes. However, there is also strong evidence that "nurture' has an important role to play, as our ...

What is the #1 most harmful factor affecting crop growth worldwide? Insects nibbling on leaves may spring to mind, but the real problem is not bugs, but actually abiotic stressors. Rather than living threats, abiotic stressors encompass all non-living negative factors, such as salt, drought, and heavy metals. Abiotic stress research in plants also ...

This video shows photosynthesis in action. Using the NMT Physiolyzer®, scientists are able to detect the real time change in oxygen flux that occurs during photosynthesis.  Check Out More Applications NMT's most popular field is currently plant physiology, but creative scientists are applying it to new fields every day, like diabetes and cance...
