In this lily spp., LlSAPK2 enhances thermotolerance by phosphorylating and stabilizing the LlbZIP46 TF, which activates #heat shock factor #genes and reduces heat-induced cellular damage.

Genes are not passed on exclusively from parents to their offspring. Some are mobile and can also jump to other species, as researchers have now shown. The direct observation of a jumping gene provides the first evidence that such genes can transfer from one species to another—from predator to prey.

Jumping gene caught moving between species in first direct observation

Genes are not passed on exclusively from parents to their offspring. Some are mobile and can also jump to other species, as researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen have now shown. The direct observation of a jumping gene provides the first evidence that such genes can transfer from one species to another—from predator to prey. The study is published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Another Philip Ball article that’s well worth reading. And a fantastic wool/yarn image representation of tangled DNA.

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

Antibiotic resistance genes found across world oceans, Italian study shows

Genes linked to antibiotic resistance are present across multiple ocean basins, including remote waters, according to findings released on Monday from an Italian-led research project that analyzed seawater samples worldwide.
