Single-cell imaging and ML map algae’s coordinated response to light stress
A growing body of research is revealing how the single-celled green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii coordinates a rapid, multi-layered defense when hit by sudden changes in light intensity. By ...
What if harsh environments don’t stress animals at all? Research on South Africa’s striped mice shows survival can depend on conserving energy, not fighting back.

These sea slugs can 'eat' sunlight—but they're no astrophage. Here's how the 'Project Hail Mary' antagonist has a real-life analog in Earth's oceans
The sea slug is bright green, shaped like a leaf and doing something very few animals can: harnessing the power of the sun.
Scientists have found a way to boost the efficiency of rubisco — the enzyme that powers life on Earth — and hope to transfer it to crops.
A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an interaction not previously documented. The discovery sheds new light on how ...
How do plants adapt to drought and heat? New studies on plants of the Canary Islands show that adaptation is not determined by a single character but by the interaction of entire sets of characters.
Both plant genera use the water-saving CAM photosynthesis (crassulacean acid metabolism), which is also found, among others, in cacti. The plants close the stomata of their leaves on hot, dry days and ...
LMU biologists decipher the ionome of chloroplasts and create the foundations for new biotech strategies. Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO 2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year.
