Food Facts Der Lebensmittel­chemie-Podcast der TU Dresden ​ In unserem Wissenschaftspodcast Food Facts spricht Lebensmittelchemiker Prof. Thomas Henle von der TU Dresden mit Moderator Peer Kittel und Studentin Jule über aktuelle wissenschaftliche Fragen …

Zusatzstoffe, Pestizide, Gentechnik; was ist wirklich ein Risiko?

Spoiler: Nichts davon.

Die neue Folge des Lebensmittelchemie-Podcasts Food Facts befasst sich ausführlich mit dem Thema "Chemie im Essen" und damit mit einem Herzensthema von mir, unbedingt reinhören!

🎊 We made it!! @dfg.de has just announced that we have been successful with our CEPLAS III proposal in the current funding round of the Excellence Strategy! Many thanks to all our supporters! @hhu.de @unicologne.bsky.social @mpipz.bsky.social @fz-juelich.de @leibnizipk.bsky.social

This year we are celebrating the International Day for Biological Diversity with two amazing lectures! If you are located close to Cologne,Germany join us!

Everywhere female humans live longer than males, is also the case for many other mammals, despite of the dangers in female lives - there is an evolutionary benefit to this! So many men in the world are stupid and so all other men will never be able to understand the inborn body weaknesses.

Century-old genetics mystery of Mendel’s peas finally solved Researchers pinpoint the genes responsible for the final three pea traits studied by the famed citizen scientist.

Researchers pinpoint the genes responsible for the final three pea traits studied by Gregor Mendel more than 160 years ago

Pflanzen wachsen durch Pflasterstein, an Steinmauern entlang und wuchern an den scheinbar ungewöhnlichsten Stellen - sie trotzen vielen Widrigkeiten und passen sich an. Wie machen sie das? Und was bedeutet der Klimawandel für unsere heimischen Pflanzen? Welche Anpassungsstrategien haben sie? 1/3

Age-dependent differential iron deficiency responses of rosette leaves during reproductive stages in Arabidopsis thaliana Iron (Fe) is essential for plant development throughout the life cycle. Rosette leaves are responsive to Fe supply in Arabidopsis thaliana. Little is known about the dynamics of Fe deficiency (-Fe) re...

At various reproductive stages, young rosette leaves are supersensitive to iron deficiency - growth is inhibited very rapidly and gene expression and metal contents change, see Mary's revised preprint at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Iron homeostasis in the annual and perennial stem zones of Arabis alpina Iron accumulates in secondary growth tissues in the perennial stem zone and is correlated with particular gene expression patterns in the perennial model plant Arabis alpina.

@botanyhhu.bsky.social 's team found:

Secondary growth in proximal perennial stem zone plays a role in iron storage in perennial Arabis alpina, while distal annual stem zones may transiently store iron for seed production.

A fantastic article on the challenges Gene Editing has faced in Germany, and in the EU as a whole.

Great investigative journalism on the NGOs who fight against it, and how they make money off it.

The homeostasis of AtMYB4 is maintained by ARA4, HY5, and CAM7 during Arabidopsis seedling development Through our findings, we introduce AtMYB4 and ARA4 in light signaling pathways that play a critical role in photomorphogenesis. Moreover, we suggest an interplay between AtMYB4, ARA4, CAM7, and HY5 i....
