Scientists have known for some time that protein production can be disrupted by preventing the protein-coding instructions of messenger RNA from reaching the ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis. If a gene cannot send its code, the protein cannot be... Continue Reading

Non-native plant species are often successful in new environments due to a lack of natural predators. Occasionally scientists are able to identify an invasive species natural predator and intentionally release them in the hope of curbing the invasive species... Continue Reading

Microbes and plants have a long history of working together. Many microbial species form relationships with plants in which both the microbe and plant receive benefits from each other (i.e. a symbiotic relationship). A group of microbes known as fungal endophytes live... Continue Reading

Wetland plant communities are very sensitive to environmental change. Previous studies have demonstrated that wetland ecosystems respond strongly to variation in nitrogen (N) pollution, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydroperiod. Changes in any of these factors... Continue Reading
