Fossils reveal mammals mingled in Age of Dinosaurs

Art by Misaki Ouchida. The fossil remains of several small mammals discovered in tightly packed clusters in western Montana provide the earliest evidence of social behavior in mammals, according to a new study co-authored by a Yale scientist.  The fossils, which are about 75.5 million years old but exquisitely preserved, offer a rare glimpse into mammalian behavior during the Late Cretaceous Period when dinosaurs dominated, and indicate that mammals developed sociality much earlier than previously thought, said Eric Sargis, professor of anthropology in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and a co-author of the study.

Helping Crops Combat Climate Change - Ole Miss News

Ole Miss News UM researcher explores effects of climate change on plant growth Yongjian Qiu, a UM assistant professor of biology, is studying a plant gene that could help solve a problem caused by warming global temperatures. Qiu’s work in this field is the subject of a new Nature Communications paper. Submitted photo OXFORD, Miss. – A University of Mississippi biology professor’s research that examines challenges facing crop productivity caused by global climate change is attracting attention. Yongjian Qiu, an assistant professor of biology, is studying a plant gene that could help solve a problem caused by warming global temperatures in which a plant stem grows too fast, damaging the plant’s biomass and leading to severe crop reductions.

Discovery of Heat-Sensing Gene in Plants Could Help Tune Their Temperature Response

Discovery of Heat-Sensing Gene in Plants Could Help Tune Their Temperature Response Written by AZoCleantechApr 7 2021 Global warming can decrease crop yields by one-third by 2050. Scientists from the University of California, Riverside have discovered a gene that could reverse this effect. Drastic differences in mutant Arabidopsis seedlings grown at warm temperatures.

They expect less water and flower earlier, and hence there is a shortage of energy to produce more seeds. This leads to a decrease in crop yields. This is cause for concern because the world’s population is anticipated to inflate to 10 billion, having much less food to eat.

Plant gene discovery could help scientists develop heat-tolerant crops

Plant gene discovery could help scientists develop heat-tolerant crops By (0) Researchers have discovered two genes that control heat and temperature response in plants, which they say could lead to helping crops better survive and thrive with global climate change. Photo by FreePhotosART/Pixabaylink April 6 (UPI) Model suggests crop yields will decline as the planet warms. Most crops don t tolerate extreme heat and prolonged droughts. Recently, researchers discovered a gene that helps plants sense heat. Scientists hope their discovery detailed in a new paper, published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications will enable the development of more heat-resistant crop varieties.
