Soil from shrublands can hinder grass growth, but this effect depends on nearby plants. Grassland soil had little impact ...

Aspergillus molds, common in the environment, can cause human infections, especially in those with weak immune systems. Recent research clarifies that some strains, previously mislabeled as A. terreus ...

Gut bacteria significantly change with malaria parasite infection in wild birds. Infected birds showed less bacterial diversity, a sign of an unhealthy gut, and a simpler gut community structure. This ...

Chestnut shells show promise as a “green” corrosion inhibitor for steel, potentially replacing toxic chemicals. Extracts from ...

Researchers used CRISPR gene editing to improve an Indian soybean variety, boosting levels of a healthier fat called oleic ...

Researchers created copper oxide nanoparticles using thyme extract, targeting antibiotic resistance and cancer. These ...

Radish roots accumulate cadmium, a health risk. Research identified genes RsWRKY15 & RsPDR12 controlling Cd uptake. RsWRKY15 ...

Researchers boosted wheat’s genetic diversity by transferring ~98% of genes from a wild relative into new wheat lines. Advanced sequencing pinpointed where these genes integrated into wheat ...

New research links sugar breakdown to a fungus’s ability to change shape & cause infection. Blocking this process halts shape ...

Tracing an engraved ostrich eggshell fragment, normalizing the lines according to stable visual properties, and extracting key variables provides the quantitative data needed to reveal the structured ...

Pakistani communities rely on a diverse 175 wild edible plant species for food, income, & culture. A University of Swat study ...

Thai researchers found a bacterium in landfill soil that breaks down PET microplastics—tiny plastic fragments—without needing high heat. It uses a novel method, unlike previously studied bacteria, and ...
