Discovery of compounds that delay flowering could boost crop yields

In an era where climate change threatens food security, scientists worldwide are searching for reliable ways to improve crop production. Extreme weather and shifting seasonal patterns can disrupt traditional agricultural cycles, making technologies that regulate the timing of plant growth invaluable for farmers worldwide.

Can trauma from violence be genetically inherited? Scientists debate Syria refugee study

Study finds genetic imprints in three generations of Syrian refugees. Researchers urge caution in interpreting findings and call for replication.

Duckweed found to differentially mark old and new transposons without DNA methylation

Transposons, so-called jumping genes, are a threat to genomes, so plants work hard to prevent them from mobilizing and re-inserting into the genome. Spirodela polyrhiza, the most ancient member of the duckweed family, uses an understudied epigenetic mechanism to mark old transposons without DNA methylation.

DNA demethylation explains how tomatoes convert their bitter toxins into something more palatable

A multi-institutional team of bioengineers has identified the genetic mechanism that converts bitter toxins to palatable compounds in tomatoes. In their study published in the journal Science Advances, the group analyzed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data obtained through other research efforts and conducted experiments in their lab that involved blocking the production of certain proteins to learn how tomatoes make themselves taste better to seed dispersers.
