“The Goldilocks principle, just the right amount of growth” Stem cells are the source of different cell types, and the balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation of their progeny regulates the overall growth of an organ. Disruption of this balance can lead to unchecked growth, producing tumors or deformed organs. We have used the […]

“Natural antisense long noncoding RNAs: characteristics and role in gene-expression regulation“ Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nt and without protein-coding capacity that have been identified due to the massive use of deep-sequencing methods, which have revealed that most of the genome is transcribed. Natural antisense lncRNAs (NAT-lncRNAs) are transcribed from […]

“Role of metals in plant-microbe interactions” The optimal biological range of transition metal nutrient concentrations is very narrow. At low concentrations, key physiological processes fail, and the organism cannot function; at slightly higher ones, metals become toxic, and the organism may die. Plants have become adept at using metal homeostasis to favour beneficial microorganisms and […]

The CSIC participates in the discovery of a gene that affects tomato quality
Researchers have discovered the transcription factor that regulates tomato chloroplast development and eventually fruit quality. The study, published in the journal ‘Science’, indicates that a mutation introduced by man produces tomatoes with lower than normal sugar levels An international investigation in which the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) has participated has discovered the transcription […]
