Cell Lineage Tracing Reveals Early‑Segregated Germline in Plants—-Chinese Academy of Sciences
August Weismann’s germ plasm theory of the late 19th century posited that only germ cells, e.g., sperm and egg cells in animals or pollen and ovule cells in plants, transmit genetic information to the next generation, and that somatic mutations…

Abu Dhabi scientists map magnetic waves deep inside the Sun
Scientists at New York University Abu Dhabi have discovered more kinds of magnetic waves within the Sun.
The findings may allow them to use these waves to study the powerful forces beneath the Sun’s surface.
Magnetic fields drive activity such as…
