Chitosan, a major fungal cell wall component, activates plant immunity, yet the underlying perception mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we identified OsFID1, an apoplast-localized DUF26 domain ...

China is increasingly incorporating pollination into agricultural management. Recent national guidance on pesticide use ...

Plants detect microbes through pattern recognition receptors that perceive conserved microbial surface motifs known as microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Lysin motif (LysM) receptors ...

When calving cliffs at the margins of Earth’s ice sheets exceed a critical height, runaway retreat may be initiated in a process called the marine ice cliff instability. However, sufficiently tall ice ...

Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires a universal gate set, but the necessary non-Clifford gates represent a significant ...

Plants and animals have always been critical to humanity’s success, and we ignore their contributions at our peril ...

Many birds use atmospheric air currents to reduce the energy costs of flying ...

The absence of dangling bonds at the crystal surfaces causes uneven growth of subsequent layers of materials, compromising dielectric integrity and creating resistive barriers to charge injection. In ...

Oscillation rate was an even better predictor of cell identity than distance to the crypt base. 0 citation in Web of Science With conventional methods and available experimental interventions, it ...

Through research collaborations and student exchanges, Morgan State brings the world to campus—and students to the world.

Becoming a parent changed the stakes. I still cared about doing good work and earning the respect of accomplished researchers. Speaking up before my ideas were fully developed was still uncomfortable.

Stomatopod crustaceans (mantis shrimps) have extraordinary eyes with unmatched visual rhodopsin diversity, but their ...
