Plant Protein Discovery Could Reduce Need for Fertiliser
Researchers have discovered how a protein in plant roots controls the uptake of minerals and water, a finding which could improve the tolerance of agricultural crops to climate change and reduce the need for chemical fertilisers.
Scientists Discover a Warped Disc “Torn Apart by Stars” in a Triple Tatooine-Like System
An international team of experts, led by astronomers at the University of Exeter, has identified a stellar system where planet formation might take place in inclined dust and gas rings within a warped circumstellar disc around multiple stars.
Air Pollution Renders Flower Odors Unattractive to Moths
A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany, and the University of Virginia, USA, has studied the impact of high ozone air pollution on the chemical communication between flowers and pollinators.
Ocean Carbon Uptake Widely Underestimated
Previous estimates of the movement of carbon (known as "flux") between the atmosphere and oceans have not accounted for temperature differences at the water's surface and a few metres below.
Do Big Tadpoles Turn into Big Frogs? It's Complicated, Study Finds
If you have any children in your life, imagine for a moment that they don't look anything like their parents, they don't eat anything humans normally eat, and they're active only while adults sleep.
