Miscanthus roots reveal deeper soils may retain more stable carbonWorldPing

Deeply rooted perennial plants may help build soil carbon (C) stocks, but most research has focused on shallow soils, resulting in gaps in our understanding of how the balance between decomposition and C inputs shifts and drives soil C accumulation with depth.

This is a short WorldPing brief. The full report was published by Phys.org.

Human norovirus capsid shifts between two shapes, cryo-EM reveals

A research team led by Kazuyoshi Murata has discovered that virus-like particles (VLPs) of human norovirus genotype GII.3 are not structurally rigid, but can adopt two distinct conformational states, similar to those previously reported for murine norovirus.
