So you want to change transgene expression: just change your promoter, right? Changing the promoter increases RNA and thus protein levels. What more could be happening? [1/n] Well, promoters don’t just set RNA levels; they uniquely transform how RNAs are transmitted into protein

How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Next step in the cheating race: Scientists hide messages in papers to game AI peer review Some studies containing instructions in white text or small font — visible only to machines — will be withdrawn from preprint servers. nature.com/articles/d4158…

In her latest Editorial, PNAS Editor-in-Chief May Berenbaum explores the dangers of political interference in science—from Lysenkoism to today’s global issues—and underscores the urgent need to protect scientific integrity. Read more: ow.ly/Cr4250Wri0N

This is still my favourite time-lapse I've made 🌱 A tiny mustard seed (half a millimetre) germinating into a seedling. 7 days in 9 seconds.
