In a recent paper in RNA Biology, researchers show that mitochondria translocate their key RNA methyltransferase enzyme, TRMT1, into host cell nuclei in response to neural activity. This subcellular relocalization of key ...
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is one of the most important and widely used cool-season turfgrass and forage species in the world. The optimum temperature for tall fescue growth ranges from 15 to 25 degrees C. High temperatures ...
