Researchers Reveal Novel Key Gene Controlling Salt Tolerance in Rice

Soil salinization poses a serious threat to global rice production. At present, the natural‑variation‑based genetic basis of rice salt tolerance remains poorly understood, and only a handful of major genes related to salt tolerance have been functionally characterized. It is critical to identify key gene modules in salt signaling pathways. In a study published in Developmental Cell on August 28, a

Rewiring Rumen Hydrogen Economy: New Strategy for Methane Mitigation and Sustainable Livestock Production

Methane emissions from cattle and sheep contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions and reflect a loss of dietary energy that could otherwise support animal growth and productivity, which is a major challenge for sustainable livestock production. M ost existing approaches to reduce methane emissions focus primarily on suppressing methanogenesis. In a study published in The Innovation , a researc

Researchers Develop Bridge RNA-guided Large-fragment Editing System for Cross-kingdom Precise Genome Manipulation

Precise manipulation of large genomic fragments is a critical need in crop breeding and synthetic biology. In crop genomes, superior traits are often associated with structural variations. However, existing large-fragment editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas systems and site-specific recombinases have limitations. In 2024, the development of the bridge RNA-guided IS110-family recombinase system provid

CIP2A Found to Link DNA Repair and Tumor Sensitivity to Radiotherapy

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are posing serious threats to genome stability. During mitosis, cells mainly rely on polymerase theta (Polθ) -mediated repair to fix these breaks. However, how the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex regulates this process remains unclear.

Researchers Reveal How Auxin Establishes Pistil Boundary by Degrading Key Transcription Factor

Have you ever wondered how a flower ensures that it's pollen-catching "landing pad" (the stigma) stays neatly separated from the "pollen tube highway" beneath it (the style)? This clear boundary is crucial for plant reproduction, but for decades, biologists didn't know how it was drawn.

Wastewater may offer an early warning of pertussis outbreaks (Suzuki and Motooka et al., in Emerging Microbes & Infections)

Pertussis, or whooping cough, continues to cause periodic outbreaks worldwide and can be especially dangerous for infants who have not completed vaccination. Yet conventional surveillance depends on people seeking medical care, being tested, diagnosed, and reported, which can delay recognition of changes in community transmission.

Storz’s Oct. 6 Nebraska Lecture to showcase high-elevation animals and scientific exploration in the High Andes

Some of the mightiest mice in the world live in the high Andes mountains at heights once thought to be uninhabitable by mammals. University of Nebraska–Lincoln biologist Jay Storz is trying to determine how they do it. Storz, George Holmes Professor in the School of Biological Sciences, will present the next Nebraska Lecture at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 6 in the Nebraska Union’s Swanson Auditorium.
