Plants feel the heat: How a protein 'thermometer' helps plants adapt to climate
来源: Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories · 发布于
Plants continuously adapt to environmental changes, and temperature is a key signal for growth and flowering. How plant thermometers, or "thermosensors," work at the molecular level is not well understood.

Nuclear softening at an embryo's two-cell stage may be vital for further embryonic development
A research team led by Kyushu University and the National Institute of Genetics has discovered that during the two-cell stage of mouse embryonic development, the embryo's nucleus softens and deforms. This nuclear softening is an integral part of major zygotic gene activation, whe

Even cacti are severely threatened in a warmer, drier world
Findings from a study spanning the Americas show that climate change forecasts are underestimating threats to biodiversity—even to exceptionally resilient species—by not factoring in extreme weather events that become more likely in a warmer world.
