A group led by British-born plant scientist Stephen Long is trying to improve the ability of plants to harness energy from the sun. Their aim is to turbocharge photosynthesis,
Shown here is Life science s Benchtop Genome Center 21. Gene therapy-Gene therapy is the use of DNA as a pharmaceutical agent to treat disease,
But that's not the only extinct animal scientists have their sights on reviving. Woolly mammoths next?
Venture declines US venture-capital investments shrank 12%to US$5. 9 billion in the first quarter of 2013, with the life sciences and clean technology particularly affected, according to a report by accountancy firm Pricewaterhousecoopers
First time deals for start-ups in the life sciences dropped by 52%to $98 million the lowest level since 1996.

In the 1970s Torkel Weis-Fogh a Danish zoologist at the University of Cambridge used high-speed photography to analyze the exact wing motions of hovering insects and compare them to the insects morphological features.
Charles Ellington a Cambridge zoologist and former Weis-Fogh student built a robotic wing that could precisely mimic the movements of a hawk moth.
and botany as it allows us to visualize the internal tissues of specimens without damaging them in the least.

It also has one of the largest communities of plant scientists in the UK. Dr Susan Huxtable Director of Intellectual Property Commercialisation at The University of Nottingham believes that the N-Fix technology has significant implications for agriculture she said:
Allison Diamond Jove's Deputy Editorial Director for the Life sciences explains The addition of Jove Behavior will allow scientists to learn
The work was led by Dr Manash Chatterjee an Adjunct Faculty member of Botany and Plant science at NUI Galway and has been published in the journal BMC Plant Biology.
and Life sciences and the College of Engineering led a team of researchers in the project that could help feed a growing global population that is estimated to swell to 9 billion by 2050.
Additional resources were contributed by the Virginia Tech College of Agriculture and Life sciences'Biodesign and Bioprocessing Research center the Shell Gamechanger Program and the U s. Department of energy Bioenergy Science Center along with the Division of Chemical sciences
Our new process could help end our dependence on fossil fuels said Y. H. Percival Zhang an associate professor of biological systems engineering in the College of Agriculture and Life sciences and the College of Engineering.

#Decoys could blunt spread of ash-killing beetlesas the emerald ash borer ravages North american ash trees threatening the trees'very survival a team of entomologists
Thomas C. Baker Distinguished Professor of Entomology at Penn State knew that the male EAB locates a mate by flying over an ash tree finding a female by identifying her green wings
Akhlesh's technique allows us to present males with different visual stimuli said Baker also a faculty member in the University's Huck Institutes of the Life sciences.
what the U s. Department of agriculture Forest Service claims to be the most destructive forest pest ever seen in North america said Michael Domingue postdoctoral fellow in entomology Penn State.
The researchers--including entomologists and engineers at Penn State the Hungarian Academy of Sciences the Forest Research Institute in Matrafured Hungary and the USDA--created the decoys using a bioreplication process with nanoscale fidelity.
Next the entomology researchers pinned the bioreplicated and 3d printed decoys as well as dead female emerald ash borers onto leaves in forests in Hungary to see which of them best attracted wild males.
and dusk when the birds are most active the team found a 217%increased detection rate of the nightjar over those carried out by specialist ornithologists.
Traditional bird survey methods involve specialist ornithologists conducting field surveys to identify and count the birds they encounter.
environment on plant traitslet's say plant scientists want to develop new lines of corn that will better tolerate long stretches of hot dry weather.
But how can plant scientists get a true picture of a plant's growth and traits under a wide variety of controlled environmental conditions?
three doctoral students and four undergraduates who are all working to build a high-tech solution for plant scientists.
Plant scientists will fill the miniature greenhouses with clear vertical and disposable chips containing seeds that will grow into seedlings.
#Lignin breakthroughs serve as GPS for plant researchresearchers at North carolina State university have developed the equivalent of GPS directions for future plant scientists to understand how plants adapt to the environment
I describe these findings as Mapquest for plant scientists says Vincent Chiang co-director of NC State's Forest Biotechnology Group the lead team for the project which involved scientists in the College of Natural resources College of Engineering
College of Agriculture and Life sciences and the senior author of the study. He is also a faculty member at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute.
The Frozen Ark Project, established by the Zoological Society of London, the Natural history Museum and University of Nottingham, is a consortium of 18 institutions from around the world with similar aims.
