Researchers at UBC Okanagan are working to learn more about how sweet cherry trees naturally protect their buds from freezing during cold winter months.

In the pursuit of understanding the pathogenic expression mechanisms of bacteria and the advancements in biofoundry technology, identifying and analyzing protein-DNA binding sites is crucial. Researchers at UNIST and Korea University have developed a nove

A collaborative research team from Toho University, the Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency, Nihon University, the Global Environmental Forum, and the Museum Park Ibaraki Nature Museum has revealed that a newly introduced parasite, bucephalid tr

As climate conditions become increasingly unpredictable, understanding how plants respond to cold is crucial for securing future crop resilience. In her doctoral thesis, Varvara Dikaya at Umeå University has studied the protein PORCUPINE, which plays a ce

Touch a hot plate and your hand flies back. While the response is almost instant, researchers are still working to better understand the molecular mechanisms behind these sensations of heat and pain.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow and the Forman Christian College University, Pakistan, are pioneering an approach to combat the devastating cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) through microbiota transplantation.

Even within the sanctuary of protected conservation areas, the rhythms of life are changing for carnivores in Mexico's montane cloud forests. A new Yale School of Environment study conducted by Germar González '24 MESc, doctoral student Siria Gámez, and

Montana State University has long been a hub for research on the many unique features of nearby Yellowstone National Park, and now a doctoral student in one of the university's microbiology laboratories has published a paper on how some hot-spring-dwelli

In an interdisciplinary cooperation project of the EU-projects FACE-IT, ECOTIP, and SEA-Quester, scientists investigated the consequences of climate change in the Arctic. They focused on a group of organisms that form the very basis of Arctic coastal ecos

How do symbioses between plants and fungi develop? How do plants decide whether or not to enter into a partnership with fungi? The team of Prof. Dr. Caroline Gutjahr, director at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam, is sheddi

A research collaboration between The University of Warwick, the Smithsonian Institution and Embrapa (Brazilian agricultural research), has shown that thousands of years of farming myths and cultural traditions have been key to the survival of the cassava

New research from the University of Oxford has provided fresh insights into how bird songs evolve over time, revealing a significant role for population dynamics in shaping song diversity and change. The findings—based on an analysis of over 100,000 bird
