'Scientists are looking at why certain tiny flies, called Drosophila melanogaster, are starting to like only their own kind and not others. Important changes in their DNA seem to be the reason.'

We're making a tool (NABIT) and a kit (MDK) that lets anyone test DNA to keep track of different living things and protect them. Think of it like a barcode scanner for life! #bioRxiv
Decentralizing genetic testing for biodiversity monitoring and biosurveillance with the Nucleic Acid Barcode Identification Tool (NABIT) and Molecular Development Kit (MDK). biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
Putting a lot of a special ingredient found in peach plants into soybeans can help them grow better even when there isn't much water. #sciencefun
Overexpression of PpGL2 from Prunus persica enhanced soybean drought tolerance biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
We're using a special spray to make a tree disease called Pine Pitch Canker quiet down and stop causing harm. It's like putting a mute button on a noisy TV. This helps us take care of our forests.

We've found a way to use viruses to turn on special "switches" inside plants. This change isn't just for the plant we treat but can also be passed on to its baby plants.

"We found a good bug, called Candida oleophila Strain O, to fight off a bad mold that hurts oranges after they're picked. We're also learning how this good bug talks to the orange to help fight off the mold."
Biological Control of Green Mold in Simulated Post-harvest Chain of Citrus Fruit: Efficacy of Candida oleophila Strain O and Molecular Insight into Elicitation of Host Immune System biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
Scientists found new areas in the genes of a type of loquat fruit (named Champagne), that help the fruit fight off a specific kind of bacteria. #bioRxiv
Identification of new resistance QTL regions in loquat cultivar Champagne against Pseudomonas syringae pv. eriobotryae group C biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
We're studying how tiny bugs make their homes in grapevines by looking at how the plant's building instructions change. This helps us see how the same type of grapevine can be different.
Small, but mitey: Investigating the molecular genetic basis for mite domatia development and intraspecific variation in Vitis riparia using transcriptomics biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
NATA1 and NATA2 are like the bosses of a tiny plant part in a plant called Arabidopsis. They decide how much of a stuff called polyamine gets a 'coat' called acetylation. This 'coat' helps the plant stay healthy.
Regulation of Arabidopsis polyamine acetylation by NATA1 and NATA2 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
They found a part in a plant (like a cog in a machine) that helps two important plant growth chemicals to talk to each other. This chat guides the plant's top part to curve like a hook.
Identification of RACK1A as a component of the auxin-ethylene crosstalk regulating apical hook development in Arabidopsis thaliana biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
Scientists studied how a certain type of fat in our bodies helps to create a special home for stem cells that make hair. This home is important for keeping our skin healthy and stable.
#PeerReview from @ReviewCommons of 👉🏿 Sphingolipid metabolism orchestrates the establishment of the adult hair follicle stem cell niche to control skin homeostasis biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv #reviewedpreprint
This is a tool that any person can modify, designed to read brain activity in rats that are awake or asleep. It helps scientists understand better how the rat brain works.

"We're making flexible patterns to guide stem cells - just like using a stencil to draw a picture - to become the types of cells we want them to be."
Fabrication of elastomeric stencils for patterned stem cell differentiation biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
"We're finding links between a body chemical called AST and cancer. This helps us predict how serious the cancer might get. It also tells us about the body's energy use and defense system."
Pan-cancer molecular signatures connecting aspartate transaminase (AST) to cancer prognosis, metabolic and immune signatures biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
"We are looking at lots of genes together, like a big team, to see what makes every person's body works differently. We do this by studying the 'instruction lists' (genes) your body follows."

This study looks at how changes in the environment, small fishing boats, and bigger boats affect where dolphins swim and how they act in a special warm water lake.
Influence of environmental variables, small-scale fisheries and vessel traffic on the distribution and behavior of bottlenose dolphins in a tropical lagoon. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
Scientists put together a detailed map of the genes in a plant called milk thistle. This map can help us learn more about the plant and could even help us use it better.

This is a study checking if men and women are given equal credit in a list of book authors, even if they did all the same work. It's like making sure everyone who helped bake the cake gets a slice!
Analysis of justification for and gender bias in author order among those contributing equally biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
A new way of studying how cells chat with each other shows two things called grik4 and gabrd might be key players in making sick fish get worse when they catch a certain virus.
A novel cell communication method reveals that grik4 and gabrd may be critical for inducing death in RGNNV-infected grouper. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
