Incredible bacterium can transfer its genes into plants for desired traits
Humans have bred for desirable plant and animal traits for millennia by selecting and crossing their offspring. Now, researchers at the University of Copenhagen are taking a natural shortcut to promote beneficial changes using a special bacterium tha.....»»
Study identifies traits that help birds adapt to urban living, shows better planning can bolster biodiversity
As cities gobble up natural spaces, some birds have learned to live alongside skyscrapers, traffic and noise—and large numbers of humans......»»
Hubble observes lenticular galaxy NGC 3489
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3489. Lenticular galaxies aren't quite spiral galaxies or elliptical galaxies. They lie somewhere in between, exhibiting traits of both. Lenticular galaxies have a central.....»»
Mammalian evolution provides hints for understanding the origins of human disease
Hundreds of scientific studies have been conducted over the years to find the genes underlying common human traits, from eye color to intelligence and physical and mental illnesses......»»
Researchers reveal novel module that influences soybean seed traits
Soybean (Glycine max) is an important economic crop, providing 28.7% of the world's vegetable oil and 70.7% of its protein meal. Seed weight is usually associated with seed size and is one of the most important agronomic traits determining yield. How.....»»
New single-nucleotide polymorphism chip that can help identify genetic markers of desirable traits in rice
Genetic markers such as fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP), simple sequence repeats (SSRs), and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide unique identifiers for individual organisms. This aids the identification of significant genetic variatio.....»»
New phenotyping approach analyzes crop traits at the 3D level
The steady decline in cultivable land owing to the rapidly increasing global population has necessitated the use of efficient plant breeding methods that could be used to improve agricultural yields. However, in addition to genetic methods, we need a.....»»

A new material was used in a simple snail robot, but it could one day make artificial nervous systems for more complex machines.....»»
Study reveals positive effects of Agriophyllum squarrosum on meat quality traits in growing Tan lambs
Agriophyllum squarrosum, also known as "sand rice," is a drought-tolerant and saline-tolerant psammophyte. As a pioneer plant on the quicksand, A. squarrosum is widespread on sandy surfaces in northern China and is well-adapted to climate change. In.....»»
Molecular module coordinates plant cell wall formation and adaptive growth
The plant cell walls represent the cellular basis for plant architecture and constitute the major component of plant biomass. Formation of multiple agronomic traits, e.g., plant height and mechanical force, largely depends upon orderly deposition of.....»»
Viewpoint: "Traditional masculinity" is a vague, unhelpful term we should abandon—here"s why
Most of us think we know what we mean when we talk about "traditional masculinity". A term commonly used to describe a broad range of men's traits and behavior, it includes things like violence and aggression, emotional restraint, and hunger for powe.....»»
The current status and future trends of forest understory vegetation
A review published in the journal Forestry Research focuses on understory vegetation biodiversity, regeneration, biomass, nutrient content and storage, carbon and nitrogen relationships, functional traits, litter decomposition, and interactions with.....»»

Researchers examine drought resistance traits in beans using hyperspectral remote sensing
Crops adapt to climatic and environmental changes by exhibiting certain modified biological traits. For instance, plants growing in deserts exhibit drought resistance. However, at times, plant breeding becomes necessary to ensure optimal crop yields,.....»»
Study examines straight men and their sexual attraction to transgender women
Some straight men said they sexually desire transgender women because of the women's supposed hyper-feminine traits......»»
Decoding the genetics behind plant height and seed weight scaling in barley
Biological functions, resource availability, and evolutionary processes often play a key role in determining the expression of genetic traits and their correlations. In fact, several plant traits are commonly correlated due to different ecological fa.....»»
