Researchers Probe New Depths In Plant Communications
...thways to infect an entire plant,"Lucas says. "The parallels between viral movement proteinsand CmPP16 provide the first strong evidence that viruses mayhave acquired that ability by stealing it from plant genes."

...tumor,"Hogge said. MacEwen said this study closely parallels work in human gene therapy to treatcancer, and provides additional information that benefits those projects. "Wetry to target a lot of the research we do so it will benefit the development anddesign of human clinical trials," he said. Dogs provide a ......lute amounts, set the new internal time. Given the parallels between the bread mold and mammalian systems, the findings have implications for humans, the researchers note. They suggest that in the human brain, a low point for key timekeeper proteins could be just before dawn, corresponding to the temperature ...Mouse Model Of Down Syndrome Offers Glimpse Into Role Of Specific Genes In TheDisorder
