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 gloom of a dense forest or a cramped crop canopy where resources and photosynthesis are limited, this ...

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 – aside from, that is, the presence of a bunch of poachers looking for rabbits with powerful lamps. And...

Reading FROM scenic parks, to great views of the Thames and great shopping (when there isn't 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 you're 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 Reading but frequently come back with my children and fiancée for nice walks.

Read Time: Humans have them, so do other animals and plants – now research reveals that non-photosynthetic 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 ti...

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 first time that nonphotosynthetic bacteria can tell the time,” said LMU research lead Martha Merrow, P...
