Controlling the timing of flowering in crops is crucial for optimizing yields and adapting to climate changes. Researchers have identified a specific gene in tomatoes that regulates this critical phase, providing a significant step forward in the ability to fine-tune agricultural practices and enhance productivity. Controlling the timing of flowering in crops is crucial for optimizing…
A recent study has shed light on a critical genetic mechanism that boosts plants’ ability to withstand drought. The research uncovers the role of the transcription factor PbERF3, native to wild pears, which works in concert with the protein PbHsfC1a to regulate genes key to drought tolerance. A recent study has shed light on a critical…

Offering a foretaste of what’s to come once it is fully commissioned, ESA’s EarthCARE satellite has returned the first images from its broadband radiometer instrument. These initial images offer a tantalizing glimpse into the intricacies of our planet’s energy balance—a delicate balance that governs our climate. Offering a foretaste of what’s to come once it is…
