Plants Under Attack
Plant biologists have
identified the strategy used
by plants to recognize an
attack. When insects ingest
parts of a plant digestion
turns proteins into a
peptide elicitor, which is
secreted back into the plant

Doggy Genes
Molecular biologists have
completely sequenced the
first dog genome.
Understanding how genetics
plays a role in canine
diseases could lead to new
treatments for diseases
shared by humans, such as

Materials Engineers Turn to Ferocious Fish for Nonstick Ship Coating
Researchers are using shark skin as a model for creating new coatings that prevent adhesion of algae and barnacles to boats. The new coating is modeled after sharks' placoid scales, which have a ... > more -
Biologists Help Perfumers Capture New Scents from Nature
To increase perfumers' palette with new scents from flowers, biologists now use a device that captures smells. A plant is covered with a glass dome and vapor is extracted and later analyzed. ... > more -
Soil Chemists Plant Ferns to Soak Up Backyard Poisons
Planting ferns can be a cheaper, greener way to soak up poisons such as arsenic from the soil. Ferns absorb arsenic through their roots and store it in their leaves, which can then be cut off. ... > more -
