SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mountain Area Preservation (MAP), a 36-year-old grassroots environmental nonprofit organization, today filed a lawsuit against the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) in the Eastern District of California, declaring the federal agency is in violation of the 55-year-old Tahoe Regional Planning Bi-State Compact ("Compact"), the Regional Plan, and TRPA regulations. The lawsuit is necessary to ensure TRPA fulfills its duties set forth in the Compact, a congressionally approved agreement between California and Nevada. Under the Compact, TRPA must ensure that new development will not exceed or impede environmental threshold carrying capacities adopted to protect water quality, air quality, scenic views and other extraordinary Tahoe resources.

Key Points: 
  • The lawsuit is necessary to ensure TRPA fulfills its duties set forth in the Compact, a congressionally approved agreement between California and Nevada.
  • A unique regulatory agency, TRPA was created by the Compact, which sets goals to protect and preserve Lake Tahoe and conserve the 501 square mile Tahoe Basin.
  • It requires that regional plans must attain and maintain Federal, State, or local air and water quality standards, whichever are strictest.
  • Legal challenges to projects such as Martis Valley West helped protect Tahoe and its people from poorly planned growth and development.

Secrets of soil-enriching pulses could transform future of sustainable agriculture

Pulses, the edible dry seeds of legume plants, are staple foods in the diets of both people and livestock around the world.

Key Points: 
  • Pulses, the edible dry seeds of legume plants, are staple foods in the diets of both people and livestock around the world.
  • High in protein, carbohydrates, dietary fibres, vitamins and minerals, pulses play a fundamental role in nutritious healthy diets.
  • Pulses can also be stored for extended periods without affecting their nutritional content.

The magic inside root nodules

  • Some 100 million years ago, legumes developed the natural ability to house beneficial bacteria inside dedicated structures called root nodules.
  • With that knowledge, we hope to find ways to increase the efficiency of nitrogen fixation inside the root nodules and maximise the growth and yield of legume crops.

Beneficial bacteria

  • My research group is investigating how legumes can engage with beneficial bacteria and avoid disease-causing microbes.
  • While bacteria like the rhizobia in these root nodules help plants source nutrients, other soil microbes including bacteria and fungi could cause disease and prevent plants from converting as much nitrogen.
  • So the plant must have a defence mechanism that keeps disease-causing microbes at bay.
  • This may also prevent it from fully engaging with beneficial bacteria.


Sebastian Schornack receives funding from Bill and Melinda Gates Agricultural Innovations. He is also listed as an inventor on a patent filed by the University of Cambridge on a gene that seems to limit nitrogen fixation.
