Cycads are subtropical and tropical palm-like gymnosperms, commonly known as “living fossils” as they arose in the late Paleozoic and were much more diverse and dominant during the Mesozoic.

The steady-state mRNA abundance is an outcome of transcript synthesis counter-balanced by turnover.

Redefining the druggable kinome: new perspectives, opportunities, and challenges

Slow wave potentials propagate from sites of damage to distal leaves in wounded plants.

Males compete against each other for female attention, for access to mating opportunities, and the sperm of multiple males can compete to fertilise a female’s eggs.

Developing novel synthetic microbes for the sustainable production of biochemical, biofuels and bioplastics is critical for the emergence of a new global bioeconomy.

Some of the most spectacular visual effects in the animal kingdom are those that change with movement. For example, brilliant iridescent feathers that shift colour with viewing angle, or reflective, highly glossy beetles that look like little mirrors.

Structural changes in the BCL-2 family protein BAK and their consequences for apoptosis

In plants, Rubisco is responsible for the assimilation of CO2 during photosynthesis.
