Newswise — Citric acid (CA) is a flavor-enhancing compound in tomatoes that also serves as a metabolic pathway mediator. Despite its importance, the genetic and environmental interplay affecting its levels has been a puzzle, difficult to decipher and control. The existing knowledge of CA's metabolic pathways has left a void in understanding its genetic underpinnings, necessitating a deep dive into the genetic determinants of its regulation.

Corals frying in Florida, billions of snow crabs dead in the Arctic — climate change is wreaking havoc in the world's oceans. The race is on to protect marine areas amounting to 30% of global seas by 2030 under the Convention on Biological Diversity. Controlling uses of the high seas — waters that are beyond national control, comprising around two-thirds of the surface area of the planet's oceans — is crucial, because there is currently no international policy mechanism for biodiversity conservation in these areas.
