Plant protection from cold decoded
In response to cold, plants trigger a cascade of genetic reactions that allow them to survive. University of California, Riverside Professor of Plant Cell Biology Jian-Kang Zhu has described how a little-known biochemical reaction regulates that genetic cascade. Zhu's findings were published in the May 15 online version of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in a paper titl...STD Trichomoniasis-Gene of Parasite Decoded
A team of researchers led by Jane Carlton, Ph.D., a parasite specialist and an associate professor in the department of Medical Parasitology at New York University// School of Medicine, have successfully decoded the genome of the parasite causing Trichomoniasis, one of the world's most common STD that usually affects both men and women. The study results were published in the Jan.12 is...
