Recent study has uncovered the pivotal role of chromosomal inversions in suppressing recombination and preserving key genotypes in cabbage. This discovery is set to revolutionize our understanding of plant genetics and breeding strategies, offering a pathway to enhance crop traits and resilience.
A rare conifer, Cupressus gigantea, has an unexpectedly lower genetic load despite its dwindling population size. This study explores the evolutionary strategy behind its survival, focusing on the purging of deleterious mutations that contribute to its enduring legacy in the face of climate change and habitat fragmentation.
Car tires contain hundreds of chemical additives that can leach out of them. This is how they end up in crops and subsequently in the food chain. Researchers at the Center for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science at the University of Vienna and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have now detected these chemical residues in leafy vegetables for the first time. Although the concentrations were low, the evidence was clear, a finding that is also known for drug residues in plant-based foods.
The identity of a local prehistoric marine reptile has finally been revealed after experts discovered that some of its remains actually belonged to fish.
A new study has shed light on the intricate genetic mechanisms controlling the flowering process in plants, crucial for their reproduction and ecological balance. The research delves into the identification and analysis of flowering genes across various plant species, unveiling the complex regulatory networks that govern this vital biological function.
Australian scientists are getting closer to detecting bushfires in record time, thanks to cube satellites with onboard AI now able to detect fires from space 500 times faster than traditional on-ground processing of imagery.
In a study published today in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, researchers in the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) created a highly accurate cervical spine injury prediction rule. When applied, the rule decreases the use of CT by more than 50% without missing clinically significant injuries or increasing normal X-ray use.
In their pursuit to discover the mechanism behind how RVCL does its damage, researchers found some clues to the DNA damage theory of aging
Talking to their parents about daily stressors can help adolescents deal with their problems. This is particularly important during the transition to middle school, when youth often are faced with new peer and academic challenges. But does it matter where these conversations take place? That’s the topic of a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
A comprehensive new study by Tulane University’s Newcomb Institute and the University of California San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy has quantified the staggering economic impact of intimate partner violence in California, revealing billions in costs that deeply affect survivors, communities and taxpayers across the state.
