A new world of research possibilities with 'Emerging Model Organisms' (EurekAlert!)
( Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ) How can moss help us to treat Alzheimer's disease? What can the lamprey immune system tell us about evolution? To answer these and other questions, scientists are increasing the array of experimental model organisms. These novel species -- some relatively new to the laboratory and others undergoing a recent expansion -- are the focus of "Emerging Model ...

Plant Virus Spreads By Making Life Easy For Crop Pests (Science Daily)
In 752, Japanese Empress Koken wrote a short poem about the summertime yellowing of a field in what is thought to be the first account of a viral plant disease. More than 1,250 years later, scientists concluded that the virus Koken described was part of the particularly insidious geminivirus family that continues to decimate tomato, tobacco and cotton crops worldwide.
