Summary: Management of chicken manure in Morocco has become a focus due to the increasing demand for chicken and eggs. The bioconversion of chicken manure into biogas can reduce the amount of manure while generating clean energy. Comparing with co-firing, pyrolysis, and gasification, anaerobic digestion of chicken manure was found to be superior in terms of energy gain.

Summary: Studies on biogas production from different organic materials in anaerobic conditions are conducted worldwide, with key parameters including raw material potential, production processes, economic analysis, and environmental impacts. Chicken manure is a significant raw material in biogas production, with research showing the potential for producing 8.58 million m(3) of biogas annually from processing about 110,000 tons of waste. This process also generates 17 GWh/year of electricity, 16 GWh/year of thermal energy, and reduces CO2 emissions by 13.86 thousand tons/year.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the application of a Fuzzy logic control (FLC) system improves the anaerobic digestion process of swine manure, resulting in increased biogas production. The FLC system effectively prevents reactor acidification and allows for dynamic adjustment of substrate feeding rate based on microbial needs, leading to enhanced reactor performance.

Summary: This study found that adding chicken manure as a co-substance can improve the biomethane production of Enteromorpha and green waste. It also showed changes in the excitation-emission matrix spectra and enhanced cellulase activity. Microbial community analysis and potential metabolic pathway analysis indicated that co-digestion enriched hydrogenotrophic methanogens.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of a mixture of serai wangi (SW) and peppermint (PPM) on anaerobic digestion (AD) of chicken manure (CM). The results show that a mixture of 10SW10PPM exhibits the highest biogas production and methane yield, with an increase of 18.52% in methane purity compared to CM and sawdust (SD) alone. However, increasing the concentration of SW and PPM does not significantly improve the overall process.

Summary: This review discusses the control strategies adopted in the formulation and anaerobic digestion (AD) process of chicken manure (CM) to control and enhance biogas production. The limitations and challenges in biogas production from AD of CM are also briefly discussed. The strategies include CM pretreatment and selection of optimal parameters for AD, co-AD with other substrates, and addition of supporting materials. These strategies overall enhance biogas and methane production by increasing hydrolysis and C/N ratio and decreasing ammonia inhibition, CO2 and H2S contents. The future challenges include implementing developed strategies in continuous plants, developing new strategies, and using combinations of supporting materials for better performance.

Summary: Adopting waste-to-wealth strategies and circular economy models can help reduce biowaste and add value. Chicken manure can be converted into renewable energy through anaerobic digestion, but certain limiting factors need to be considered. Strategies to enhance digestion include co-digestion with other materials, addition of additives, and improving the bacterial community. Valorization of chicken manure can be achieved through composting, pyrolysis, and gasification. The use of chemicals such as biochar and conducting materials can also improve anaerobic digestion.

Summary: The world of bioplastics has rapidly expanded, generating new waste streams that pose challenges to waste processing; anaerobic co-digestion is considered the best option for efficient bioplastic waste processing with reduced space requirements and environmental pollution; the higher C/N ratio of bioplastics presents a challenge to anaerobic digestion, but co-digestion with lower C/N ratio biowastes can improve biogas production.

Summary: Anaerobic digestion is a well-known method for stabilizing organic materials, offering benefits such as greenhouse gas reduction, alternative energy production, and valuable digestate acquisition. However, for heterogeneous materials like manure, single-substrate digestion may not be efficient. Co-digestion studies are increasingly appearing to address this issue, allowing higher biogas production and simultaneous waste processing. The future effective application of anaerobic co-digestion depends on regulations, work regime, and access to raw materials, which are explored in this paper.

Summary: Anaerobic co-digestion is an important technology for processing organic waste, recovering nutrients, and creating sustainable biofuel. However, the low biogas output and high installation costs limit its viability. This literature review demonstrates that anaerobic co-digestion produces more methane biogas than anaerobic digestion, and adjusting the waste-to-water waste ratio can increase methane production.

Summary: Stripe rust is a harmful wheat disease caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). This study identified metabolites and genes related to wheat disease resistance and demonstrated the effectiveness of homogentisic acid (HGA) in inhibiting the growth of stripe rust fungus. These findings improve our understanding of wheat disease resistance and suggest HGA as a potential agent against Pst.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of nitrate-dependent suberization in maize roots on the uptake and accumulation of cadmium (Cd). The suberization in maize roots was significantly lower under high nitrate supply compared to low nitrate. The decrease in suberin content was mainly due to a decrease in aliphatic suberin, while there was no difference in aromatic suberin content between different nitrogen treatments.

Summary: In this research, the crucial role of SsGSR1, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell wall protein, in the pathogenicity of S. sclerotiorum was characterized. SsGSR1 is involved in maintaining cell wall architecture and integrity, as well as inducing rapid cell death in host plants. Furthermore, allelic variants of SsGSR1 were found in field isolates, indicating the importance of genetic variation in SsGSR1 in the virulence of S. sclerotiorum.

Summary: This study investigates how the pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum responds to different host plants. Comparative transcriptomic analyses reveal significant differences in gene expression when the fungus infects wheat and rapeseed. The presence of appressorium is necessary for colonization in rapeseed, but not in wheat. Starch may be the major carbon source in the symbiotic relationship between S. sclerotiorum and wheat.

Summary: The sensitivities of 100 Ustilaginoidea virens isolates in China to prochloraz and azoxystrobin were analyzed, and subpopulations with decreased sensitivity were found. One isolate, 5-3-1 from Zhejiang, exhibited moderate resistance to prochloraz, likely due to overexpression of the CYP51 gene. This highlights the need for monitoring and managing the resistance of U. virens to prochloraz.

Summary: This study identified 65 LysM family genes in bread wheat and found that TaCEBiP, TaLYK5, and TaCERK1 are highly responsive to PAMPs and phytopathogens, enhancing resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Knocking down these genes compromised wheat defense response to an avirulent strain of Puccinia striiformis.
