Strains of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Rhizophagus irregularis belong to one of two nuclear organizations: homokaryons, which carry genetically similar nuclei, and dikaryons, which harbour ...

Nonexhaustive overview of empirically validated nondefense functions caused by or correlated with variation in four well-studied classes of plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) – glucosinolates (gree...

The BBC has spoken to residents in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky who say they are being "constantly shelled".

Einer Studie zufolge verkraften die Stromnetze durch Batteriespeicher an Umspannwerken deutlich mehr Solarstrom.

The word ‘microbe’ literally means 'small life.' Yet, there are species of microbes that are not microscopic and others that are not alive. So, is 'microbe' helpful shorthand or overly reductive?

Saturation mutagenesis of the FCY1 promoter in budding yeast shows that adaptation to 5-fluorocytosine is not accessible through single cis-regulatory mutations, despite large mutational effects on pr...

Der deutsche Verteidigungsetat wächst – genauso wie die Kritik an überhöhten Preisen in der Beschaffung. Ein Politikwissenschaftler ordnet ein, wieso mehr Geld nicht mehr Sicherheit bedeutet und was s...

Soziale Einrichtungen haben oft kein Geld, um sich an die Folgen der Erderhitzung anzupassen. Förderung vom Bund bekommen sie aber auch nicht mehr.

Three genotypes – a heat-resistant maize (Zea mays), a heat-susceptible maize, and a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) variety – were grown to the V4 stage in growth chambers under optimal conditions or subj...

Gene editing to enhance photosynthesis in crop plants offers a strategy to boost plant carbon capture and mitigate climate change. This Review explores the agronomic, molecular and technical challenges in engineering photosynthesis for carbon sequestration as well as the genetic tools and editing technologies that can improve plant productivity and carbon storage.

Synthesis and applications. Our findings provide a unifying framework for understanding how transient microbial invasions generate lasting ecological imbalances, cascading from community structure to....
