Evolution of a SHOOTMERISTEMLESS transcription factor binding site promotes fruit shape determination

Posted by in category: evolution

This study identifies a molecular mechanism promoting fruit shape variation. Local meristem identity is maintained through autoregulatory activation of the STM gene to allow post-fertilization changes in fruit morphology.

AI tool will be able to trace dolphins by their regional accent

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI

Sea mammal expert Dr Julie Oswald, of the University of St Andrews’ Scottish Oceans Institute, created the tool, known as the Real-time Odontocete Call Classification Algorithm (Rocca), using AI.

It can categorise dolphin calls by species and comes in different versions linked to different geographical areas.

There are around 42 species of dolphin and they use hundreds of different sounds to communicate.

Primitive meteorites formed in less turbulent solar nebula, researchers suggest

Posted by in categories: particle physics, space

Chondritic meteorites (chondrites) are some of the oldest rocks in our solar system, forming 4.5 billion years ago. Therefore, their primitive composition means that they offer a window into the origins of planet formation, particularly as their major elements (heavier than hydrogen and helium, including oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron and nickel) closely reflect the sun’s photosphere composition.

Melting and clumped accumulation (accretion) of at high temperatures (up to 2,000 Kelvin [~1,727 °C]) in the formed crystallized silicate spheres known as chondrules, which further joined together to produce asteroids, the remnants of planetary genesis.

There are two main types, believed to have formed in the inner and outer solar system respectively: ordinary chondrites are composed of up to 90% chondrules, while carbonaceous chondrites have only 20–50% chondrules within a background matrix.
