Genetics and Genomics news

Scientist Max Scott stands in front of a vehicle used to distribute sterile male flies to suppress the spread of the New World screwworm.

NC State Expert Offers Insight on Stopping the New World Screwworm

NC State University’s Maxwell Scott, one of the top experts on the New World screwworm, explains what’s being done to control its spread in the U.S., based on his years of in-depth research and a recent trip to Texas, where he saw the dispersion center for sterile fly releases and spoke at a Texas cattle ranchers conference in Houston.

Microbial partners may help plants respond to higher temperatures

New research suggests the microbiome near the surface of a plant’s roots, known as the rhizosphere microbiome, may play a role in helping crops respond to heat stress. When studying adaptation in living things, scientists sometimes analyze the interplay between genetics and environment to influence measurable traits, a phenomenon known as Genotype by Environment interactions…
