Fluctuating genes
There is a lot more noise than assumed in gene expression. Nevertheless, organisms still manage to develop complex organs. As American researchers show in Nature Communications.
Slow integration
Thousands of genes of mitochondria and chloroplasts have found their way into the genome of the plant. But it is a process that is purposely slow German researchers show in Nature Plants.
The growth or defence dilemma
Young plants are often extra sensitive for insect damage. But it is not as easy as increasing its defence a study of Chinese researchers shows in Scientific Advances.
