Plant genes may lack off switch, but have volume control

Scientists at the University of California, Davis have discovered that DNA sequences thought to be essential for gene activity can be expendable. Sequences once called junk sometimes call the shots instead. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-04/uoc—pgm041417.php

Surprise: Transport proteins evolved long before their compounds emerged

The scientists investigated how transport proteins evolved along with the emergence of new defense compounds. The research goal was to understand how transport proteins acquire the ability to move new toxic compounds — and what comes first in the evolution: the transport protein’s ability to move a defense compound or the compound? https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-03/fos—stp030917.php
