Researchers find how plants become good neighbours in times of stress ANI | Updated: Jul 05, 2021 09:13 IST London [UK], July 5 (ANI): The scientists at the John Innes and the University of Bristol have discovered how plants manage to live alongside each other in places that are dark and shady. Moderate shade or even the threat of shade - detected by phytochrome photoreceptors - causes plants to elongate to try to outgrow the competition. But in the deep gl...

What really happened on the night of January 23, 1974 on the Berwyn Mountains, North Wales? That’s a question I often get asked. It very much depends upon your own opinions and conclusions. That something happened is not in any doubt. The theories range from the fantastic to not much at all. Strange lights were seen on the mountains. There was a small earth tremor. There were rumors of military personnel running around. Then, there is the theory that pretty much nothing at all happened – a...

Reading FROM scenic parks, to great views of the Thames and great shopping (when there isnt a pandemic going on) there are lots of things to love about living in Reading. To shine some light on these positives, we asked readers what their favourite things about the town are, and the answers will make you glad youre a local. Responding to Facebook posy "Tell us why Reading is a great place to live or visit", the beautiful walks sprung to mind for Kelly Ferguson, who said: "I moved out of R...

Could Discovery of Circadian Clocks in Bacteria Have Implications for Drug Delivery Timing, Industrial Biotech? January 11, 2021 Shining a light on internal clocks - the bacterium Bacillus subtilis [Professor Ákos Kovács, Technical University of Denmark] Research headed by scientists at the Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU), Munich, has shown that—just like humans and other organisms—bacteria have internal clocks that align with the 24-hour day-night cycle. “We’ve found for the firs...

Bacterial bioclock Researchers have used the bacterium Bacillus subtilis to shine a light on internal clocks. Credit: Ákos Kovács, Technical University of Denmark The ebb and flow of our daily lives revolves largely around our sleep cycle, which is governed by our body’s biological clock. Other animals and plants also have these internal timing mechanisms to cope with light changes across days and even seasons – and now researchers have discovered that bacteria do, too. “We’ve found f...

Date Time Bacteria can tell time Humans have them, so do other animals and plants – now research reveals that bacteria too have internal daily clocks that align with the 24-hour cycle of life on Earth. The research answers a long-standing biological question and could have implications for the timing of drug delivery, biotechnology, and how we develop timely solutions for crop protection. Biological clocks or circadian rhythms are exquisite internal timing mechanisms that are widespread acros...
