Ion beam bio-engineering was established by Chinese researcher in 1980s. Over thirty years past, there were delightful progress by low energy ion beam induced mutants and crop improvement. When ion beam implant the organism, charge exchanged between ions and organism surfaces. Meanwhile there were ion sputtering, ion penetration and surface damage of plant cell wall material. Owing to etching action of low energy beam to plant cell wall, ion beam mediated exogenous DNA transformation becomes possible. Representative applications and achievements in crop breeding were described.
Numerous studies reported that mixtures of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) could produce quite sensational growth-promoting effects in all categories of farm animals; but many people thought that REEs could affect human healthy. Therefore, experiments were done to understand the effects of La2O3 on red-eared sliders. The results showed that lower dose of La2O3 could probably improve the metabolism of Red-eared Slide turtle, and the higher dose of La2O3 could probably cause pathologic reaction. Lanthanum trichloride (La) could cause the Histological changes in tortoise livers. A very lower dosage of La2O3 could damage the livers of red-eared slides obviously though diversity pathway. The wild animal should be protected from harm in the RE diggings. If the RE is used or must be used as an additives in animal foods, an appropriate dose of RE was necessary, and the safety evaluation should be done.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
