New public-private hybrid rice group aims to raise rice yields in the tropics
A new international research initiative, linking the private and public sectors for the first time and launched on November 9 at the 2007 Asian Seed Congress, aims to boost the research and development of hybrid rice for the tropics. view more (2007-11-12)
Gene Revolution Reaches The Poorest Farmers In India
It's the news they have all been waiting for. After years of living under the threat of another devastating epidemic of downy mildew, a disease similar to that which caused the Irish potato famine, India's poorest farmers have been offered a lifeline in the form of a new disease-resistant hybrid. The hybrid has been produced in record time using... view more... (2005-02-25)
Hybrid coatings increase hardness of plastic and allow properties to be tailored
Increasing the surface hardness of many materials opens them up for use in a wide variety of new applications. These new hybrid materials could be used in areas like anticorrosion coatings for metals, scratch and abrasion resistant coatings for plastics, antistatic films plus colour decorative coatings for glasses and plastics. view more (2006-05-15)
Researchers Can Cross Non-Interbreeding Plants
Researchers of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Plant Cultivation, Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (St. Petersburg) jointly with their colleagues from Germany and Finland have grown up new lines of Solanum cultivated plants via the somatic hybridization method - hybrids of wild species of plants of the Solanum family with... view more...

Thriving Hybrid Salamanders Contradict Common Wisdom
A new UC Davis study not only has important findings for the future of California tiger salamanders, but also contradicts prevailing scientific thought about what happens when animal species interbreed. view more (2007-09-27)
New tool cracks genomic code quicker than ever
US and Australian scientists have pioneered a new hybrid method for genomic sequencing that is faster and cheaper than state of the art technologies. view more (2006-07-11)
What the heck is it? Consumers can be primed to understand hybrid products
Hybrid products are ubiquitous in today's marketplace: phones with cameras, watch/cameras, MP3 players with GPS systems. How can consumers understand the functions and features of these new products? A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research discovered a technique for helping consumers make sense of the ever-changing product landscape. view more (2009-02-24)
Hybrid advanced materials and the effect of Zirconium on synthesis and properties
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials are significantly important materials due to their peculiar properties. These properties come from a unique combination of the properties of the base components. view more (2007-05-30)
Plants grow bigger and more vigorously through changes in their internal clocks
Hybrid plants, like corn, grow bigger and better than their parents because many of their genes for photosynthesis and starch metabolism are more active during the day, report researchers from The University of Texas at Austin in a new study published in the journal Nature. view more (2008-11-24)
Another first for Europe: an electric car with extended range and no pollution
The international symposium takes place in Brussels from 29 September to 3 October and has been organised by the Commission on the topic "A future for the city". Some 1 500 specialists in electric and hybrid vehicles are expected to attend to see the latest technological developments designed to improve this mode of transport during the coming... view more...

Researcher discovers hybrid speciation in the Sierra Nevada
University of Nevada, Reno researcher Matthew Forister is among a group of scientists that have documented an unusual type of speciation in the Sierra Nevada, including a hybrid species of butterfly that can trace its lineage as far back as almost a half a million years ago. view more (2007-01-29)
Genes behind animal growth discovered
An advance in genomics, the ID of growth genes in oysters has relevance for farming and aquaculture. view more (2007-01-30)
An unexpected outcome of atmospheric CO2 enrichment
Unseen belowground interactions impact the composition of natural plant communities. Mycorrhizae, symbiotic associations between soil fungi and plant roots, help plants acquire soil nutrients but also drain substantial carbon from plants. Whether mycorrhizae help or hinder plant growth depends upon the balance between nutrient benefits and carbon... view more... (2003-05-22)
UT researcher sheds new light on hybrid animals
What began more than 50 years ago as a way to improve fishing bait in California has led a University of Tennessee researcher to a significant finding about how animal species interact and that raises important questions about conservation. view more (2007-09-18)
Batteries get a boost at Rice
Need to store electricity more efficiently? Put it behind bars. That's essentially the finding of a team of Rice University researchers who have created hybrid carbon nanotube metal oxide arrays as electrode material that may improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. view more (2009-02-10)
The trouble with hybrids
Hybrid electric vehicles that run on both conventional gasoline and stored electricity can be no more than a stop gap until more sustainable technology is developed, according to researchers in France. view more (2008-02-07)
Mysteries of categorization: How consumers think about new products
Why did the first PDAs released to the market fail while subsequent brands took off? A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research says it might be because of the way consumers categorize new products. view more (2009-01-27)
Hybrid vehicle rebates produce scant environmental benefits, high cost
Despite major costs to taxpayers in the U.S. and Canada, government programs that offer rebates to hybrid vehicle buyers are failing to produce environmental benefits, a new UBC study says. view more (2009-08-04)
Whitefly spreads emerging plant viruses
A tiny whitefly is responsible for spreading a group of plant viruses that cause devastating disease on food, fiber, and ornamental crops, say plant pathologists with The American Phytopathological Society (APS). view more (2007-01-19)
Thale cress goes on the defensive
Thale cress has a complicated defence technique against insects and microorganisms that use the plant as a source of food. view more (2007-05-15)
