Higher survival of hybrid seeds
Plant breeders, aiming to develop resilient and high-quality crops, often cross plants from different species to transfer desirable traits. However, they frequently encounter a major obstacle: hybrid seed failure. This reproductive barrier often prevents closely related species from producing viable seeds. A new study from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology offers insights into this challenge by identifying small RNA molecules as crucial players in this process. These findings could pave the way for more successful hybridization in the future.
A New Perspective on Aging at the Cellular Level
Research team at Freie Universität Berlin discovers unexpected differences in aging bacterial cells. Surprising findings on bacterial aging have emerged from a study carried out by a team of researchers led by the biologist Dr. Ulrich Steiner at Freie Universität Berlin.
Making ’Stressed’ Potatoes Climate-Resilient
A research alliance is studying how future potato cultures could be adapted to handle climate change.
Disruption of visual stability
Motion illusion overrides compensatory mechanism for eye movements. The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than ten million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands of nerve fibres.
A surprising link between motor systems control and sleep rhythms
New work on sleep in a reptile reveals surprising similarities between networks that control motor rhythms and those controlling sleep.
