A team from Valencia University has taken part in research that will improve plague control in agriculture. Read More
The genome of the phylloxera, an insect that caused plagues that devastated European vines in the nineteenth century, has been deciphered by an international team involving researchers Miquel Barberà and David Martínez, from the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio), centre of the University of Valencia and the CSIC. The study is published in the journal BMC Biology. Read More
These molecules of plant origin may be of use to the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors. Read More
The strategies make it possible to regulate gene expression, and thus to decide when the plants flower or to make them more resistant to drought. Read More
Researchers have established that the optimum storage conditions for human milk to maintain its antibacterial capacity is to not keep it in the fridge for over 72 hours, and to freeze it for the least amount of time possible. Read More
The finding took place during the Villenaplant event by one of the participants, Francisco Gisbert, who took a picture of a Calicotome villosa specimen and now it will be published by the journal Botánica Flora Montibérica. Read More
Scientists have discovered very rapid changes in the structure of its magnetic field that confirm the predictions of the main models of gamma-ray production in black holes. The phenomenon, observed through the ALMA telescope, contributes new data to the study on the origin of the most energetic radiation in the Universe. Read More

The results of this research show that COP1 regulates the levels of DELLA proteins in response to environmental changes. Read More
Researchers at the Institut Cavanilles Institute of the University of Valencia have just reformulated the relationship between selection by kinship and conflict between sexes in many species. Contrary to what was suspected, the recognition of kinship causes an increase in conflict, which could reduce the survival of populations. The work, based on new mathematical models, has been published in Nature Ecology and Evolution. Read More
