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

KTU researchers are proposing an innovative forest regeneration model and a sound analysis system that can predict forest conditions and detect environmental changes in real time.

Coronavirus 229E is the earliest reported human coronavirus (hCoV-229E). Researchers used cryo-EM, glycoproteomics, and modeling to generate the atomic structure of a fully glycosylated and membrane-bound hCoV-229E spike protein bound to its host receptor

Pollinators are animals that help to transport pollen from one location to another in the plant reproduction process. Pollination is crucial to our well-being and to the survival of ecosystems. Pollination is used by about 85% of wild plants and over 70%
