Orchids and fungi -- partners for life
Three Thai orchids have been found to rely on a wide range of fungi to help them take carbon out of the soil instead of producing their own organic carbon. view more (2009-08-14)
Unicellular microRNA discovery
In the May 15th issue of Genes & Development, an international collaboration of researchers, led by Dr. Yijun Qi (National Institute of Biological Sciences, China), report on their discovery of microRNAs in the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This is the first finding of microRNAs in a unicellular organism. view more (2007-04-30)
Detecting poisons in nectar is an odour-ous task for honeybees
Though many spring flowers have bright advertisements offering sweet rewards to honeybees, some common flowers have not-so-sweet or even toxic nectars. view more (2007-04-02)
MSU scientists find new gene that helps plants beat the heat
Michigan State University plant scientists have discovered another piece of the genetic puzzle that controls how plants respond to high temperatures. That may allow plant breeders to create new varieties of crops that flourish in warmer, drier climates. view more (2008-10-07)
New system of wastewater treatment could reduce the size of treatment plants by half
A group of researchers from the University of Granada (Universidad de Granada) have come up with a wastewater treatment system which has three clear advantages with respect to systems currently used: it is possible to obtain cheaper water of a higher quality, it considerably reduces the size of treatment plants (by more than half) and it minimizes... view more...

MEDIA INVITATION. A world first : European research discovers solutions to environmental impact of antibiotics
The results of three European research projects (ERAVMIS, REMPHARMAWATER and POSEIDON) covering 13 European countries and establishing the environmental impact of human and veterinary antibiotics and possible solutions, will be presented to the press for the first time on 27 June in Gryaab, Göteborg (Sweden), at Scandinavia's largest... view more...

Over time, an invasive plant loses its toxic edge
Like most invasive plants introduced to the U.S. from Europe and other places, garlic mustard first found it easy to dominate the natives. A new study indicates that eventually, however, its primary weapon - a fungus-killing toxin injected into the soil - becomes less potent. view more (2009-09-01)
Katrina floodwaters not as toxic to humans as previously thought, study says
The floodwaters that inundated New Orleans immediately following Hurricane Katrina were similar in content to the city's normal storm water and were not as toxic as previously thought. view more (2005-10-12)
'Jekyll and Hyde' bacteria offer pest control hope
New research at York has revealed so-called 'Jekyll and Hyde' bacteria, suggesting a novel way to control insect pests without using insecticides. view more (2007-12-20)
For African violets, 'hands off' means healthier
African violets have a mixed reputation. Their delicate, colorful flowers and furry, soft leaves make them a favorite among home gardeners and growers. But the striking plants are often regarded as temperamental: a precise recipe of light, moisture, warm temperatures, high humidity, and fertilizer is required to encourage african violets to grow... view more...

Repel the aphids and you attract the leafhoppers
Things don`t always turn out as you expect when you play with genes AN ATTEMPT to make potato plants resistant to sap-sucking insects has highlighted the unpredictability of genetic engineering. The modified plants unexpectedly turned out to be vulnerable to other kinds of insect pests, demonstrating how important it is to assess each transgenic... view more... (2002-05-29)
How did bilaterally symmetric flowers evolve from radially symmetric ones?
The researchers found that plants bearing bilaterally symmetrical flowers were more visited by pollinators and had higher fitness, measured by both the number of seeds produced per plant and the number of seeds surviving to the juvenile stage, than plants with radially symmetric flowers. view more (2006-10-03)

A common genetic mechanism discovered in nitrogen-fixing plants
Some soil microorganisms are capable of forging associations with plant roots in the form of symbioses. Certain of these relationships play a highly important ecological and agronomic role. view more (2008-03-11)
Scrubbing sulfur
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a reusable organic liquid that can pull harmful gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide out of industrial emissions from power plants. view more (2009-08-18)
Scientists invite the public to "Meet the Ancestors" at the Chelsea Flower Show
Scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich[1], are in the final stages of their preparations for this year's Chelsea Flower Show[2] where they will be inviting the public to 'Meet the Ancestors - of the past and the future'. Visitors to the JIC exhibit will be able to compare modern crops with the wild plants that are their ancestors and... view more... (2002-05-17)
Plants' role in global warming re-examined in ORNL Science paper
Estimates of increased plant respiration in response to higher global temperatures may be somewhat overstated as they have not taken into account plants' ability to adjust to changing conditions, according to researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2006-05-02)
The life histories of the earliest land animals
The fossil record usually shows what adult animals looked like. But the appearance and lifestyle of juvenile animals often differ dramatically from those of the adults. view more (2009-04-21)
Biologists Produce Global Map of Plant Biodiversity
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego and the University of Bonn in Germany have produced a global map of estimated plant species richness. Covering several hundred thousand species, the scientists say their global map is the most extensive map of the distribution of biodiversity on Earth to date. view more (2007-03-21)
Ultraviolet radiation induced flux of nitrogen oxides from pine needles
In the latest edition of Nature (March 13th, 2003) a group of scientist led by professor Pertti Hari from the University of Helsinki presents a novel observation: ultraviolet radiation induced a flux of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from pine needles to the atmosphere. This result is interesting because nitrogen oxides participate in several essential... view more... (2003-03-14)
