Asymetrische bloemen
Links-rechts asymmetrie breekt de symmetrie die we verwachten. Denk aan bloemen waar de stamper en de meeldraden respectievelijk links en rechts van het midden zitten. Nu laat een groep internationale onderzoekers zien hoe de plant de symmetrie verbreekt.

In general, the more diverse a forest how better it can deal with drought and heat. But the local effect of tree diversity is less clear. Now a group of international researchers show that for a tree the water use efficiency of its neighbours makes a big difference.
Seeds in the starting blocks
Farmers and researchers prime seeds to get an even germination. Now researchers from the Netherlands show in New Phytologist that priming puts the available mRNA in the translation starting blocks.
