| It's the pits: Ancient peach stones offer clues to fruit's origins Posted: 06 Sep 2014 06:31 AM PDT Anyone who enjoys biting into a sweet, fleshy peach can now give thanks to the people who first began domesticating this fruit: Chinese farmers who lived 7,500 years ago. Archeologists have a good understanding of domestication -- conscious breeding for traits preferred by people -- of annual plants such as grains (rice, wheat, etc.), but the role of trees in early farming and how trees were domesticated has not been well documented to date. |
| Breast cancer specialist reports advance in treatment of triple-negative breast cancer Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:30 PM PDT A major American study could lead to improvements in outcomes for women with triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease that disproportionately affects younger women. |
| Like weeds of the sea, 'brown tide' algae exploit nutrient-rich coastlines Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:30 PM PDT A new study highlights up close the survival skills that have made Aureococcus anophagefferens the bane of fishermen, boaters and real-estate agents. Building on previous mapping of Aureococcus' genome, the study confirms that the genes previously hypothesized to help Aureococcus survive in murky nutrient-rich waters, switch on in conditions typical of estuaries degraded by human activity. |
