Field study finds using biodiversity instead of pesticides can reduce crop damage from herbivores

This article was originally published by Melanie Nyfeler, University of Zurich on October 7, 2024.

Pesticides aren’t always necessary. Researchers at the University of Zurich have conducted a comprehensive field study showing that damage from herbivores can be reduced by using biodiversity within a plant species. Different plant genotypes can cooperate to help fend off herbivorous insects. The study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Just like humans, plants interact with the individuals around them. For example, if the people around you are more susceptible to infections, your own risk of getting infected increases, and vice versa.

The same is true for plants. When different genetic types of the same  are mixed and planted together, some combinations are more resistant to pests and diseases. This positive biodiversity effect is known as associative resistance.

Food security and preservation

One of the key challenges of modern society lies in reconciling  and the preservation of the environment and biodiversity. Pests and diseases pose serious threats to crops, making chemical agents like pesticides crucial in agriculture. However, pesticides can reduce the biodiversity of insects.

“In this context, associative resistance could be a new method to ensure food production while preserving biodiversity,” says Kentaro Shimizu, Director of the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at UZH.

But which combinations of plant genotypes should be planted together to effectively resist pests and diseases? For example, if one selects two genotypes from a total of 199 genotypes, there are 19,701 possible combinations. Researchers at UZH have now developed new methods of genomic prediction using a  to analyze interactions between individuals at the genetic level.

Extensive fieldwork in the research garden

First, the researchers conducted large-scale plant cultivation experiments over two years in open fields on Irchel Campus as well as in Japan. For the 199 genotypes of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana collected from around the world, genomic DNA information was already available. The researchers randomly mixed and planted 30+ individuals from each of the genotypes for a total of 6,400 plants.

“To count 52,707 insects on 6,400 plants, the senior researcher Yasuhiro Sato spent months in the research garden. This amazing dataset, collected by taking advantage of the research garden at the Irchel campus, was the key to this study,” says Shimizu.

Until now, there were no methods to analyze which genomic regions underpin interactions such as associative resistance between neighboring plant individuals. Yasuhiro Sato and his team therefore developed a new analytical method called Neighbor GWAS.

This method applies a model used in physics to analyze interactions between magnets to the interactions between neighboring plant individuals. It examines how herbivore damage is affected when individuals with specific genetic DNA sequences are adjacent, based on the actual results from field experiments.

Up to 25% less herbivore damage

From the analysis using this new method, it was shown that numerous genes are involved in interactions with surrounding individuals. Using a machine learning method, the researchers were able to predict herbivore damage and identified beneficial  combinations for which associative resistance was predicted.

The research team conducted another large-scale field experiment over two years, planting around 2,000 plant individuals in pairs of genotypes for which three different levels of associative resistance were predicted. This experiment revealed that, compared to planting a single genotype, mixing two genotypes reduced herbivore damage by 24.8% and 22.7%, respectively, for the highest and second-highest associative resistance level.

Future developments

“From the perspective of basic research, this can be seen as a landmark in the study of interactions between plant individuals,” says Shimizu. “It highlights the importance of biodiversity in two ways. First, the genetic diversity of crops themselves can reduce pest damage. Second, reducing the use of pesticides in agricultural settings can contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, including that of insects.”

Meta-analyses with Bernhard Schmid as co-author have shown that in crops such as wheat or rice, yield increases from 4%–16% are achieved if random genotypes are mixed in the field. According to Shimizu, for these important agricultural plant species whose genomes are known, the new method makes it possible to predict mixtures of specific plant genotypes that maximize associative resistance, thus increasing yield even further while at the same time saving on pesticide use.

mRNA COVID Jab Ingredient N1-Methyl-Pseudouridine (m1Ψ) ‘Stimulated Cancer Growth and Metastasis’

N1-methyl-pseudouridine
A new study published earlier this month in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules confirms that an ingredient in mRNA COVID-19 injections called N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ) increases cancer growth and spread.

m1Ψ is a component of the Pfizer Inc. and Moderna Inc. mRNA jabs.

The new study provides evidence “that adding 100 % of N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ) to the mRNA vaccine in a melanoma model stimulated cancer growth and metastasis, while non-modified mRNA vaccines induced opposite results, thus suggesting that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could aid cancer development.”

The authors point out how during the massive COVID vaccination campaigns, it was “frequently stated [that] the benefits [of taking the jab] outweigh the risks.”

“However, after the third dose, the risk exceeds the benefits, especially for the elderly and immunocompromised individuals, so health authorities should re-evaluate the real usefulness of continuing to administer boosters,” they argue.

The authors critique the jab further, explaining that there is increasing evidence that mRNA vaccines do not provide complete immunity, which could lead to repeated infections, and that the shots can disrupt crucial immune processes.

“Mounting evidence indicates that these vaccines, like many others, do not generate sterilizing immunity, leaving people vulnerable to recurrent infections,” they write. “Additionally, it has been discovered that the mRNA vaccines inhibit essential immunological pathways, thus impairing early interferon signaling.”

The evidence drove the authors to recommend future clinical trials that use mRNA vaccines with less m1Ψ in order to avoid weakening the immune system.

“Based on this compelling evidence, we suggest that future clinical trials for cancers or infectious diseases should not use mRNA vaccines with a 100 % m1Ψ modification, but rather ones with the lower percentage of m1Ψ modification to avoid immune suppression,” they conclude.

Meanwhile, another peer-reviewed study published this month in Cureus found significant increases in mortality rates of all cancer types in 2022 after the majority of the Japanese population received doses of the COVID mRNA shot.

“Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancer and some specific types of cancer, namely, ovarian cancer, leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, and breast cancers, were observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine,” the study reads.

‘At Least 55 Undeclared Chemical Elements’—Including Toxic Arsenic, Aluminum, Mercury—in COVID-19 Shots: ‘International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research’

Jab rollout amounts to “worldwide iatrogenic event” that “has already killed 0.213 ± 0.006% of the world’s population (1 death per every 470 living people)” in “less than 3 years. That is over 17 million people!”

The groundbreaking analysis used Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to uncover a cocktail including toxic elements within these vaccines.

Researchers found elements ranging from heavy metals to lanthanides, some of which have known toxic effects on human health.

The study reads: “Among the undeclared chemical elements were detected 11 of the 15 cytotoxic lanthanides used in electronic devices and optogenetics. In addition, among the undeclared elements were all 11 of the heavy metals: chromium was found in 100% of the samples; arsenic 82%; nickel 59%; cobalt and copper 47%; tin 35%; cadmium, lead and manganese in 18%; and mercury in 6%.”

Can Dopamine Treat Breast Cancer?

Dopamine Breast Cancer Link

Recent research has uncovered an intriguing link between certain hormones and neurotransmitters and breast cancer treatment. This connection involves four key players: estrogen, serotonin, dopamine and progesterone. Each of these substances plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, but their impact on cancer growth and treatment is now coming into sharper focus.

Estrogen, primarily known as a female sex hormone, regulates reproductive processes, bone density and cardiovascular health. However, it’s also recognized for its ability to promote cancer growth. Many breast cancers, for instance, are classified as estrogen-receptor positive, meaning they grow in response to estrogen.

Serotonin, often misleadingly called the “feel-good” neurotransmitter, is an antimetabolite, meaning it suppresses your body’s ability to create energy in the electron transport chain of your mitochondria. Recent studies suggest serotonin also stimulates the growth and spread of cancer cells.1

On the other hand, dopamine, another neurotransmitter, is showing promise in cancer treatment. Typically associated with pleasure, motivation and reward systems in your brain, dopamine is being investigated for its anticancer properties. Research indicates that it may help inhibit tumor growth and enhance the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments.2

Progesterone, another sex hormone crucial for reproductive health and pregnancy, is also emerging as an ally in cancer treatment, because it’s not only anti-estrogen but also inhibits cortisol and improves mitochondrial production of cellular energy by blocking estrogen and cortisol.

Could boosting your dopamine levels naturally help lower your cancer risk?

The study’s findings suggest that increased dopamine activity may indeed have anticancer effects. Your body produces dopamine naturally, and there are several ways to increase your dopamine levels without medication:

Exercise — Regular physical activity has been shown to boost dopamine production and release in your brain. Sleep — Getting adequate, quality sleep helps regulate your body’s dopamine systems.
Diet — Consuming foods rich in tyrosine, a precursor to dopamine, may help. These include bananas, beef, eggs and green tea. Sunlight exposure — Sunlight not only helps your body produce vitamin D but may also increase dopamine levels.
Music — Listening to music you enjoy has been linked to increased dopamine release in your brain. Stress reduction — Chronic stress depletes dopamine, while stress-reduction techniques may help maintain healthy levels.

Australia’s iron ore capital Port Hedland to warn all healthcare providers against mRNA danger

Professor Angus Dalgleish

The nation’s most economically important export center will demand answers from health authorities and write to every council and shire in Australia to sound the alarm

Australia’s iron ore capital Port Hedland is sending a written warning to all health practitioners within its boundaries about the dangers of the covid gene-vaccines and is calling for their immediate suspension on safety grounds after DNA contamination was again found in the products.

Councillor Adrian McRae told Letters From Australia that five out of eight council members had already been injured by the products in 2022, one suffering blood clots and myocarditis.

Port Hedland Council voted 5 to 2 last night to denounce the shots at a Special Council Meeting requested by councillors McRae, Camilo Blanco and Lorraine Butson.

The Council heard video testimony from St George’s University of London Professor Angus Dalgleish in a closed session warning them of the dangers of the products, before passing the motion.

Professor Dalgleish, a specialist in oncology and immunology, is on a speaking tour of Australia for the Australian Medical Professionals Society, sounding the alarm about how the mRNA products cause cancer.

The council will join Member for Monash Russell Broadbent in writing to the Prime Minister, to all local health practitioners and medical clinics, and to every local government and shire council in Australia, urging them to suspend the products.

“We are gravely concerned about the potential health risks posed by synthetic DNA contamination, including the dangers of genomic integration, cancer, hereditary defects and immune system disruption,” the letter says.

Port Hedland Council will also call on health authorities for an urgent investigation into how the DNA contamination has gone undetected by Australia’s regulators, who are accused of using outdated and insufficient testing methods.

Australia’s drug regulator the Therapeutic Goods Administration ignored a media request from Letters From Australia on Friday asking if they were aware of the DNA.

Councillor McRae said the vote was a validation for all Australia’s gene-vaccine injured.

“At least one council in the country will stand up and acknowledge what’s happened to these people,” he said.
