Enhancing algorithms to boost vegetation photosynthesis monitoring

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is a crucial indicator of vegetation photosynthesis, and in recent years, tower-based SIF measurements have become increasingly valuable in conjunction with gross primary productivity ...

Biologists discover a new type of control over RNA splicing

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut out and the coding portions ...

How plants remember stress without a brain

It may sound strange, but plants can remember stress. Scientists are still learning about how plants do this without a brain. But with climate change threatening crops around the world, understanding plant stress memory could ...

New treatment improves bovine IVF

Up until the 1950s, scientists were scratching their heads trying to figure out why their experiments using perfectly healthy eggs and sperm to develop in-vitro fertilization (IVF) were unsuccessful.

Enhancing chromosome detection in metaphase cell images

ChromTR, a novel framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic feature learning and chromosome class ...
