动物植物Bananas are a vital crop globally, but their yields are threatened by various diseases, particularly banana fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Traditional control methods, including chemical pesticides, pose environmental risks and are not always
阅读全文动物植物Chrysanthemums, admired globally for their intricate capitulum structures, have posed a genetic puzzle for scientists and horticulturists. The genetic mechanisms that dictate their development have been largely unknown, limiting the ability to selectively
阅读全文动物植物As water scarcity looms as a major threat to global ecosystems and food production, the quest to understand how plants like Cissus quadrangularis conquer arid landscapes is more critical than ever. The genetic blueprint of such species could hold the key
阅读全文动物植物A study reveals a novel mechanism in roses where the Tryptophan-rich sensory protein (TSPO) degrades the ethylene receptor ETHYLENE RESPONSE 3 (RhETR3) to enhance salt tolerance. This discovery sheds light on the complex relationship between ethylene sign
阅读全文动物植物A novel antibacterial lipopeptide produced by the bacterium Serratia marcescens has been shown to be highly effective in killing Staphylococcus aureus—one of the most important pathogens occurring in humans.
阅读全文动物植物The early worm gets the arachnid, fossil research by an Oregon State University scientist has shown. In a parasitic first, a Baltic amber specimen has revealed that millions of years ago, tiny worms known as nematodes were living inside of and feeding on
阅读全文动物植物Researchers have revealed the structure and function of a previously unknown lysosome transporter. The groups of Christian Löw (CSSB, EMBL Hamburg), Markus Damme (Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel), and Bruno Gasnier (CNRS and Universit&eac
阅读全文动物植物Two independent studies by Columbia scientists suggest that research into the gut's stem cells over the past 15 years has been marred by a case of mistaken identity: Scientists have been studying the wrong cell.
阅读全文动物植物The increase in tropical cyclone frequency and intensity due to climate change could lead to dramatic declines in seabird populations, suggests a paper published in Communications Earth & Environment. The authors' conclusion is based on the impac
阅读全文动物植物When scientists want to study the long-distance movement of marine animals, they will instrument them with a small device called an acoustic transmitter—or tag—which emits unique signals or "pings." These signals are picked up by receivers ancho
阅读全文动物植物Three years ago, María del Carmen Muñoz, a researcher at the University of Cordoba, was peering into an electron microscope to study the vesicles of marine cyanobacteria and found, almost accidentally, something she did not expect: structures that, althou
阅读全文动物植物Dogs' learning success is enhanced when they are not only rewarded with food, but also praised and petted for their good performance, according to a new study by researchers from the Department of Ethology at ELTE Eötvös Lorá
