How Fruit Flies Keep Up With Climate Change

News

In a new study, scientists have found many genes responsible for setting fruit flies’ internal alarm clock and found that an imperceptibly slow development during dormancy is key to their rapid genetic adaption.

Massive-Scale Genomic Study Explores Diversity and Desirable Traits in Wheat

News

A scientific team including James Hutton Institute researchers has completed one of the largest genetic analysis ever done of any agricultural crop to find desirable traits in wheat’s extensive and unexplored diversity.

mRNA Molecules Encode Much More Than Just Protein Sequences

News

In photosynthesis, solar energy is converted into chemical energy, which is then used in nature to produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide. In plants, algae and cyanobacteria, the key photosynthesis reactions take place in two complex structures known as photosystems. These are located in a special membrane system, the thylakoids. Many details of their molecular structure and the way the proteins are incorporated into the membranes have yet to be explored - until now.
