The three highest-priced home sales in Great Neck last month ranged from $2.35 million to $2.925 million.

[UC Riverside scientists have figured out how plants respond to light and can flip this genetic switch to encourage food growth - even in the dark. The discovery could help increase food supply for an expanding population with shrinking opportunities for farming.]

Art by Misaki Ouchida. The fossil remains of several small mammals discovered in tightly packed clusters in western Montana provide the earliest evidence of social behavior in mammals, according to a new study co-authored by a Yale scientist.  The fossils, which are about 75.5 million years old but exquisitely preserved, offer a rare glimpse into mammalian behavior durin...

Ole Miss News UM researcher explores effects of climate change on plant growth Yongjian Qiu, a UM assistant professor of biology, is studying a plant gene that could help solve a problem caused by warming global temperatures.

Discovery of Heat-Sensing Gene in Plants Could Help Tune Their Temperature Response Written by AZoCleantechApr 7 2021 Global warming can decrease crop yields by one-third by 2050. Scientists from the University of California, Riverside have discovered a gene that could reverse this effect. Drastic differences in mutant Arabidopsis seedlings grown at warm temperatures.

They expect less water and flower earlier, and hence there is a shortage of energy to produce more seeds. This lea...
