The White Stuff: Marine Lab Team Seeks to Understand Coral Bleaching
Coral bleaching is the whitening of living coral due to a disruption of the symbiosis (two organisms whose living together benefits both) with its zooxanthellae, tiny photosynthesizing algae. These un...

Insights into the diversity and complexity of symbiotic relationships are the focus of the current special issue of DNA and Cell Biology, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Th...
Life Sciences | Read moreWhy are diatoms so successful?
Diatoms play a key role in the photosynthesis of the oceans and are therefore intensively studied. Researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Associat...

That's what researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison report in the current issue (June 2) of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study shows that the light-...
Studies and Analyses | Read moreFood Security: It Starts with Seed
With each passing year, the human population of our planet continues to expand. This growth has created a wide ranging strain on our water and soil resources, as well as our environment, creat...

One is revealed in the paper’s acknowledgements, where the Alliegros thank those who helped them after Hurricane Katrina completely disrupted their laboratory at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Ne...
Life Sciences | Read moreCan you rescue a rainforest? The answer may be yes
When the researchers planted worn-out cattle fields in Costa Rica with a sampling of local trees, native species began to move in and flourish, raising the hope that destroyed rainforests can one day ...

This curious arrangement is one of Nature’s most delicate and complex partnerships – a collaboration now facing grave threats from climate change.The symbiosis between coral – a primitive anim...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreA common genetic mechanism discovered in nitrogen-fixing plants
Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (which links a plant to a fungus) thus gives plants a mechanism for improving their supply of water and mineral nutrition. This association has been in existence for 4...
Agricultural and Forestry Science | Read moreMechanisms of plant-fungi symbiosis characterized by DOE Joint Genome Institute
The genetic mechanism of this kind of symbiosis, which contributes to the delicate ecological balance in healthy forests, also provides insights into plant health that may enable more efficient carbon...
