Research advances understanding of how bacteria benefit plant growth
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Plants create alliances with bacteria in the soil in which they thrive. Legumes, for example, benefit from a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms that live in nodules in their roots and "fix" nitrogen in the atmosphere to make it available for the legumes' growth. But are microorganism

Effects of Neanderthal DNA that are still present in modern humans
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Recent research has shown that one to four percent of the genomes of contemporary humans, whose ancestors left Africa, contain Neanderthal DNA; nonetheless, it has remained unclear how much of those genes are still actively impacting human characteristics. A multi-institutional research tea
