Engineered Yellow-Seeded Camelina Packs More Oil
Department of Energy, Office of Science

In oilseed crops like canola, yellow-seeded varieties generally produce more oil than brown-seeded varieties. Camelina, a bioenergy crop closely related to canola, usually has brown seeds. Scientists have now disrupted genes called TT8 that are responsible for making seeds brown, producing an engineered camelina with light yellow seeds that accumulates more than 20% more oil than ordinary varieties.

Study Suggests a Healthy Diet May Help Keep Low Grade Prostate Cancer from Progressing to More Dangerous States During Active Surveillance
Johns Hopkins Medicine

In a peer-reviewed study believed to be the first of its kind published, a research team led by Johns Hopkins Medicine provides scientific evidence that a healthy diet may reduce the chance of low risk prostate cancer progressing to a more aggressive state in men undergoing active surveillance — a clinical option in which men with lower risk cancer are carefully monitored for progression in lieu of treatments that could have undesired side effects or complications.

The Silent Regulators: Unveiling the Role of lncRNAs in Plant Biology
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent review has identified the critical role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating plant growth and stress responses. The research reveals complex interactions among various classes of non-coding RNAs, with lncRNAs emerging as key regulators. This discovery offers new insights into how plants adapt to environmental challenges, potentially paving the way for developing more resilient crop varieties.

Democrats and Republicans Agree on One Thing: Censoring Hate Speech
University of Notre Dame

In an era of intense polarization, Democrats and Republicans have historically, and mistakenly, believed that members of the other party prioritize protecting certain types or victims of hate speech over others based on stereotypes or their affiliation with those potentially vulnerable groups. New research from the University of Notre Dame, however, revealed that partisans generally agree on what to censor when it comes to the target, source and severity of hate speech.
