Biochemistry and molecular biology

Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Molecular biology concerns the molecular basis of biological activity between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between DNA, RNA and proteins and their biosynthesis, as well as the regulation of these interactions.

Gene-silencing spray to combat cereal disease is safe for the environment

Great hopes are placed on a new way to combat plant diseases, using RNA to turn off genes that the pathogen needs to initiate the attack. Now, researchers from SLU and the James Hutton Institute have

Wheat can control a beneficial fungus to obtain better plant protection

For the first time, scientists have shown that a crop, in this case wheat, can control what a beneficial fungus does by sending small RNA molecules into the fungal cells. This means a big step

Now it's time to collect samples

Because mussels filter water when they feed, algae are part of their diet. This makes mussels very interesting for learning more about toxic algal blooms. That's why scientists are now taking samples
