Researchers at UMass Amherst Discover Key to Molecular Mystery of How Plants Respond to Changing Conditions
A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently published a pioneering study that answers a central question in biology: how do organisms rally a wide range of cellular processes when they encounter a change—either internally or in the external environment—to thrive in good times or survive the bad times?
Mechanism of Plants Obtain Nitrogen by Supplying Iron to Symbiotic Bacteria
Researchers led by University of Tsukuba, based on the internal nitrogen status of a leguminous plant, have discovered peptide factors that function in the shoot and root systems to transport iron into the root nodules colonized by nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
