Mimicry is an important deceptive strategy that plants use to attract their pollinators. Pseudonectaries, or false nectaries, the glistening structures that mimic nectaries or nectar droplets but do not secrete nectar, show considerable diversity and play important roles in plant-animal interactions. The morphological nature and ecological functions of pseudonectaries, however, remain larg...

mRNA 5-methylcytidine (m5C) modification protects rice against sunburn in hot weather, according to a new study by researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences. This work is published online in Developmental Cell, in which a methyltransferase OsNSUN2 was identified using molecular genetics and genomics to be responsible for one third of mRNA m5C modifications in rice. Gene mutation on ...
