Good morning, Davis.

At Yolo County Superior Court on Wednesday, a man diagnosed with schizophrenia faced charges of premeditated murder in the death of a highway patrol officer, even though officers reported he did not intend to target law enforcement+ his case remains in court as further hearings are scheduled.

Scientists at UC Davis have developed wheat that produces extra apigenin—this chemical helps soil bacteria fix nitrogen naturally to lower fertilizer needs and reduce pollution.

The study, published in Plant Biotechnology Journal, shows promise for using the technology in other cereal crops.

UC Davis researchers tested tiny killifish with see-through eggs to learn how crude oil and flame retardants change growth, heart, and brain functions in fish and their offspring.

They exposed fish during the Deepwater Horizon spill and with chemical diets and found that even a short exposure can alter traits for years—raising concerns about long-term risks.

On Tuesday, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a temporary 45-day moratorium on new agricultural water well permits in the Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency’s focus — a decision that will delay permit reviews to address water management concerns.
