Plant-derived secondary organic aerosols can act as mediators of plant-plant interactions

A new study published in Science reveals that plant-derived secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) can act as mediators of plant-plant interactions. This research was conducted through the cooperation of chemical ecologists, plant ecophysiologists and atmospheric physicists at the University of Eastern Finland. It is well known that plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere […]

A proteome-wide yeast degron collection for the dynamic study of protein function

Genome-wide collections of yeast strains, known as libraries, revolutionized the way systematic studies are carried out. Specifically, libraries that involve a cellular perturbation, such as the deletion collection, have facilitated key biological discoveries. However, short-term rewiring and long-term accumulation of suppressor mutations often obscure the functional consequences of such perturbations. We present the AID library […]

Conserving high-elevation grasslands in Peru is key to protect Andean bears

Andean bears carefully select the best foraging locations and plants to maximize nutrition and avoid livestock, according to a study publishing December 18, 2024, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Nicholas Pilfold at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in California, U.S., and colleagues. Andean bears, also known as ‘spectacled bears’ because of the […]
