Plant Science Research Weekly: July 12th
Blog, WWR Full PostReview: Synthetic biology in photosynthetic microbes: present and future
Photosynthetic microbes are emerging models for synthetic biology applications since they possess relatively simple physiology and cellular organization, fast growth in liquid culture, and facile genetic manipulation. In this…
Opinion: Plants neither possess nor require consciousness (TIPS)
Plant Science Research WeeklyDon’t miss this opinion article by Taiz et al, which tries to close the door on the eternal question of how to describe and label the ability of plants to perceive and respond to their environment. Are plants intelligent? Can they learn? Do they have consciousness? The article draws on recent studies…
Effective strategies for rebutting science denialism in public discussions
Plant Science Research WeeklyScientists are often asked to engage in public discourse as a way to counteract science denialism, but it’s not always clear if their efforts can change minds. A new study by Schmid and Betsch suggests that efforts to rebut are worthwhile. They showed subjects videos with climate denial messages about…
