The team of Luis Lopez - Molina, professor at the Department of Botany and Plant Biology of UNIGE's Faculty of Science, Switzerland, has been interested for a long time in the mechanisms controlling germination, arguably the most critical decision in the life of a plant: «We have discovered that the genes involved in the synthesis of cutin, a waterproof substance, are important for the maintenance of dormancy in seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana, a small plant widely used as a model organism to study plant biology.

Parker agrees, adding that the strategic use of ants by other species is an underexplored area of biology: «This is evolution at its most extreme: the more we look, the more these creatures force us to modify our ideas of how organisms make a living.»

Using data from a 2008 outbreak of one of the most - feared «superbugs,» and modern genetic sequencing techniques, a team has successfully modeled, and predicted, the way the organism spread between and within dozens of healthcare facilities.

I didn't groan at this idea unlike most other Star Wars fans — many of whom were outraged by the perceived reduction of the Force from a grand, almost magical power to a function of biology — because I'm a biologist who studies bioenergetics: How organisms convert various molecules (food) into chemical energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP, a compound that enables energy transfer between cells) that can be used to power life.

Simulations have suggested that populations of organisms that use two base pairs would not only have optimal replication accuracy but would evolve most effiently and reach the highest levels of fitness, according to one study.
