Climate change is affecting when and how violets reproduce

Violets reproduce both sexually, through cross-pollination of the showy flowers we're familiar with; and asexually, by self-seeding of less noticeable flowers that remain hidden near the base of the plant. This is called "mixed mating." Although environmental factors drive how much a…

New Endoplasmic Reticulum Sorting Mechanism Was Discovered

Protein sorting in the secretory pathway is essential for cellular compartmentalization and homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the biosynthetic and folding factory of secretory cargo proteins. The cargo transport from the ER to the Golgi is…
