Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an electronic patch that can be applied to the leaves of plants to monitor crops for different pathogens – such as viral and fungal infections – and stresses such as drought or salinity.
Nature Ecology and Evolution Study Reveals Precipitation’s Effect on Plant-Soil Interaction
Because diabetes is the leading cause of new, preventable cases of blindness in working aged adults in the United States, medical experts suggest patients have dilated eye examinations after their first diabetes diagnosis.
North Carolina State University researchers have shown that adding a small amount of a chemical used in perfumes – nonanal – to a two-chemical combination of other sex pheromones helped increase the cocktail’s effectiveness in mimicking female fall armyworm “come hither” calls to males.
Expanding work permits for undocumented immigrants could fix the United States immigration system’s “large, overlooked and often invisible crack” that fails to account for essential workers

A new online tool – the first of its kind for plant pathogens – will help researchers across the globe identify, detect and monitor species of Phytophthora, which have been responsible for plant diseases ranging from the devastating 1840s Irish potato famine to sudden oak death that still plagues in West Coast oak populations.
A North Carolina State University-led study found it is possible to retrieve forensically relevant information from human DNA in household dust.

Plant species may only need to move short distances to track their preferred habitats as the climate changes, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change.
Female African monarch butterflies have no trouble finding a mate – even when a parasite kills most of the males, new research shows.
Pollinators such as honeybees produce special enzymes that detoxify defence chemicals produced by plants, new research shows.
Professor Diane Campbell in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, whose research focuses on understanding how evolution takes place in real time in nature, recently published a paper with her colleagues Mary Price, Nickolas Waser, Rebecca Irwin and Alison Brody at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory.
Professor Roberto Tinoco in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, who explores how the immune system can fight disease, recently published a paper with his lab that outlines a novel approach to activating dysfunctional T cells to fight skin cancer or melanoma.
