Protecting Crops: Researchers Open Up New Avenue to Combat a Widespread Plant Virus
Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg

New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against the Cucumber mosaic virus, the most common virus in agriculture and horticulture. They were developed by researchers at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. In lab experiments, almost all of the treated plants survived an infection. The study will appear in "Nucleic Acids Research".

Scientists develop novel nanoparticles that could serve as contrast agents
Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg

Special nanoparticles could one day improve modern imaging techniques. Developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), the properties of these unique nanoparticles change in reaction to heat. When combined with an integrated dye, the particles may be used in photoacoustic imaging to produce high-resolution, three-dimensional internal images of the human body
