A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell ...

This understanding could significantly enhance breeding programs aimed at improving fruit quality by selecting for traits that influence both color and taste. More information: Ahmed Alabd et al, ...

By physically engineering their environments, megafauna such as dinosaurs curbed fruit seed sizes—a role that now may be filled by humans. Skip to main content. Scientific American.

To accomplish this, the researchers looked at the development of the fruit fly Drosophila and its wing disc pouch, which transitions from a shallow dome shape to a curved fold and later becomes ...
