| Metabolic enzymes discovered with 'widespread roles' in opium poppy Posted: 04 Oct 2013 07:52 AM PDT Scientists have discovered metabolic enzymes in the opium poppy that play "widespread roles" in enabling the plant to make painkilling morphine and codeine, and other important compounds.  |
| Biochar in soils cuts greenhouse gas emissions Posted: 04 Oct 2013 06:06 AM PDT Microbiologists show soil microbe communities can be influenced to decrease nitrous oxide emissions.  |
| Climate puzzle over origins of life on Earth Posted: 04 Oct 2013 06:03 AM PDT The mystery of why life on Earth evolved when it did has deepened with new research. Scientists have ruled out a theory as to why the planet was warm enough to sustain the planet's earliest life forms when the Sun's energy was roughly three-quarters the strength it is today.  |
| Genetics used to sort out poorly known -- and hunted -- whale species Posted: 03 Oct 2013 11:27 AM PDT Saving the whales often means knowing -- sometimes genetically -- one group of whales from another, say researchers attempting to define populations of a medium-sized and poorly understood baleen whale that is sometimes targeted by Japan's scientific whaling program. In a new study, scientists are working to define separate groups and subspecies of the Bryde's whale in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans.  |
| College students worried about climate change hazards Posted: 03 Oct 2013 07:57 AM PDT Results of survey of University of Florida students gauging perceptions, level of fear re: climate change.  |
