Plants need nitrogen but use it inefficiently. A new study shows that, in maize, the plastoglobule droplets within chloroplast organise key nitrogen-fixation enzymes, supercharging nitrogen use. The findings could be relevant to growing crops using less fertiliser. 🧪👇

A new study in Nature quantifies mining-induced deforestation of dense forest across sub-Saharan Africa. For each hectare of deforestation attributed to the mine an additional 34 hectares of forest were lost to offsite drivers such as agricultural expansion. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The oldest known eukaryotes, living around 1.75 billion years ago, were largely restricted to oxygenated bottom waters, only expanding into planktonic habitats during the Neoproterozoic Era (from a billion to 540 million years ago)🧪 See new study published in Nature👇

Androgens generally dampen anti-cancer immunity. A new study finds that in brain tumours they counteract a neural pathway that would otherwise suppress anti-tumour responses, making androgen signalling protective within the brain. 🧪

A study in Nature quantifies the contribution that insect pollinators make to nutrient intake and income in smallholder farming communities in Nepal > they are responsible for 44% of people’s farming income and over 20% of their intake of key micronutrients.🧪

A study in Nature suggests that in the absence of deforestation the Amazon forest could transition to a non-forest state with 3.7-4.0oC of global warming. With 22 to 28% deforestation a more widespread transition could occur with 1.5-1.9oC of warming🧪

A new study shows that individuals listening both to language and auditory stimuli while anesthetized still showed neural responses in the hippocampus indicating that the information was still being processed, despite the fact that patients were seemingly unconscious.🧪

Chloroplast plastoglobules act as nitrogen-assimilation hubs in maize, with key enzymes enhancing nitrogen-use efficiency and offering new strategies for developing high-yield, sustainable crops.

Integrated palaeontological, sedimentological and geochemical analyses of ancient rocks from Australia show that early eukaryotes were largely restricted to oxygenated benthic habitats, probably posse...
Quantification of links among insect pollinators, crop plants, nutrient intake and income of smallholder communities in Nepal show that pollinators substantially contribute to their income and micronu...
Androgens have distinct roles in the brain, acting as immune-based tumour suppressors through neuroinflammation and neuroendocrine mechanisms.
