Plants use their roots to measure manganese concentration available in the soil

A team of researchers led by Jörg Kudla from the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology at the University of Münster are the first to demonstrate, using the model plant thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), how plants perceive manganese deficiency and which processes subsequently take place in the plant at the molecular level.

Deep-sea organisms research oriented by deep-sea technologies development

The deep sea has been documented as the largest biome on earth. Typical deep-sea ecosystems such as hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, seamounts, oceanic trenches, and whale falls, shatter our early understanding of the deep sea as a "no-go area" for life.
