Outwitting pesky parasites
Across the southern United States, an invisible, yet deadly parasite known as the root-knot nematode is crippling soybean crops. view more (2007-07-16)
UGA scientists engineer root-knot nematode resistance
University of Georgia professor Richard Hussey has spent 20 years studying a worm-shaped parasite too small to see without a microscope. view more (2006-09-27)
NC State Researchers Get to Root of Nematode Genome
North Carolina State University scientists and colleagues have completed the genome sequence and genetic map of one of the world's most common and destructive plant parasites - Meloidogyne hapla, a microscopic, soil-dwelling worm known more commonly as the northern root-knot nematode. view more (2008-09-24)
Soybean varieties viable in southern Indiana, resistant to root-knot nematode
Purdue University researchers have identified several soybean varieties that grow well in areas of the Midwest like southern Indiana and are resistant to root-knot nematodes, a plant-destroying parasite with a recently confirmed presence in that part of the state. view more (2008-03-24)
ISU researchers help map first plant-parasitic nematode genome sequence
There are numerous plant-parasitic nematodes in the world, but only a handful are responsible for the largest part of an estimated $157 billion in agricultural damage globally every year. Nematodes are small worms that burrow into plant roots and feed off living cells. view more (2008-09-05)
MIT finds most complex protein knot ever seen
An MIT team has discovered the most complicated knot ever seen in a protein, and they believe it may be linked to the protein's function as a rescue agent for proteins marked for destruction. view more (2006-09-26)
Horseshoe crab decline threatens shorebird species
Researchers from Virginia Tech and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife have documented a reduction in the number of red knot birds throughout the Delaware Bay tied to a decline in horseshoe crabs. view more (2006-02-22)
Cholesterol-lowering medicines may be effective against cancer
Statins lower cholesterol by blocking certain enzymes involved in our metabolism. view more (2009-10-28)
Potential reinforcing role of earthworm species in plant resistance to parasitic nematodes
Parasitic nematodes of plants are microscopic soil-inhabiting organisms. Although they are present in all crop-growing areas, whether in the tropics or under temperate climes, it is predominantly in the tropical regions that these parasites perpetrate extensive damage and crop-yield losses. Market-garden produce, banana, sugar cane and rice are... view more... (2005-04-15)
THE BIODIVERSITY OF FALLOW LAND:A FACTOR USEFUL FOR CONTROLLINGPLANT PARASITIC NEMATODES
Fallowing is a common practice for restoring soil fertility and structure in the tropics : it favours improvement in its physicochemical properties and the build-up of stores of organic matter, which are essential for the development of the telluric microfauna and microflora that inhabit soils. Researchers from the Laboratory of Biopedology of IRD... view more... (1999-09-13)
Spaghetti gets knotted
A new and novel way of localising the breakage point in a rope or string is described today in New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and the German Physical Society. Spaghetti lubricated in olive oil is shedding light on why knotted ropes or strings used by sailors, anglers and mountaineers snap where and when they... view more... (2001-06-08)
Compounds in licorice root may help fight tooth decay
Compounds isolated from licorice root may help prevent cavities, according to researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles. view more (2006-01-24)
Bad Teeth May Signal Risk for Heart Attack
Elderly persons with active root caries, a type of tooth decay, have an increased risk of having irregular heart beats. This study is published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. view more (2005-05-19)
UC San Diego Physicists Tackle Knotty Puzzle
Electrical cables, garden hoses and strands of holiday lights seem to get themselves hopelessly tangled with no help at all. Now research initiated by an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego has resulted in the first model of how knots form. view more (2007-10-04)
Laser used to help fight root canal bacteria: ADA Journal
High-tech dental lasers used mainly to prepare cavities for restoration now can help eliminate bacteria in root canals, according to research published in the July issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). view more (2007-07-13)
Possible new hope for crops battling parasitic infection
Scientists from Ghent University and VIB (The Flemisch Institute for Biotechnology) have demonstrated how nematodes, also known as roundworms, manipulate the transport of the plant hormone auxin in order to force the plant to produce food for them. view more (2009-01-16)
Survey confirms Americans prefer root canal treatment by endodontists
There may not be a more feared dental procedure than a root canal, but the key to ensuring a positive experience is choosing the right professional to perform the procedure. view more (2007-12-05)
Decline of Shorebird Linked to Bait Use of Horseshoe Crabs
Declining numbers of a shorebird called the red knot have been linked to bait use of horseshoe crabs. view more (2009-02-18)
Non-collapsing knots could reveal secrets of the Universe
A computational trick that stops imaginary knots collapsing could help us understand how to unravel a loop of DNA or reveal the true nature of elementary particles, research published today suggests. view more (2002-03-22)
The emerging story of plant roots
An international group of European and US scientists led by the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology at The University of Nottingham have uncovered a fascinating new insight into the unseen side of plant biology - the root. view more (2008-07-16)
