Plant gene discovery could help scientists develop heat-tolerant crops By (0) Researchers have discovered two genes that control heat and temperature response in plants, which they say could lead to helping crops better survive and thrive with global climate change. Photo by FreePhotosART/Pixabaylink April 6 (UPI) -- Model suggests crop yields will decline as the planet warms. Most crops don't tolerate extreme heat and prolonged droughts. Recently, researchers discovered a gene that helps plants sense heat. Scientists hope their discovery -- detailed in a new paper, published Tuesday in the...

Researchers identify gene that helps plants sense heat Author: Jules Bernstein Share This: By 2050 global warming could reduce crop yields by one-third. UC Riverside researchers have identified a gene that could put the genie back in the bottle.  Yongjian Qiu, the paper's first author and former UCR assistant project scientist, now at University of Mississippi. Warmer temperatures signal to plants that summer is coming. Anticipating less water, they flower early then lack the energy to produce more seeds, so crop yields are lower. This is problematic as the world’s populati...

Struggling with mental health and close to a breakdown, Willson said she felt trapped and unable to quit due to a contract locking her in for another year. If she left early, she was told she'd have to pay the federation $50,000. Willson eventually was able to drop out of her training by taking a medical leave and seeking treatment for her eating disorder. Now a PhD student who studies abuse in sport, Willson said she still feels the aftermath of her treatment at the hands of Sauvé, who died in April 2020. "I don't think I'm ever going to be confident with my body or happy with how it looks...

(1) TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural biomaterials show potential for the next generation of green electronics due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. When combined with other nano-materials the biocomposites can exhibit unique functionality applicable for green memory devices. In their award-winning paper published in STAM, Ye Zhou and colleagues describe the potential of biocomposites for memory devices and related green electronic fields. The review paper by Ye Zhou and colleagues at Shenzen University covers recent progress in the development of biocomposi...
