IU Biology research shines new light on sex differences in circadian clocks

A recent commentary article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) highlights research in Drosophila that reveals fundamental differences in circadian mechanisms between the sexes. The original article titled, “Circadian rhythms are more resilient to pacemaker neuron disruption in female Drosophila,” was published in PLOS Biology.

Will Wally bloom? IU Biology invites you to observe a rare plant in action

Excitement is in the air – and soon, so might be an unforgettable scent. Wally, the resident Amorphophallus titanum (corpse flower) at the Indiana University Bloomington Biology Building Greenhouse, may be preparing for another rare and spectacular bloom. You can watch Wally grow – and possibly bloom – live via the Wallycam livestream. 

IU biologist’s research on plant immune systems could increase crop yields, reduce costs for farmers

“Imagine that we could return half of the Midwest to prairie. We could increase the planet’s ability to capture carbon, restore our insect populations and restore our ecosystems to a better balance,” said Roger Innes, Distinguished Professor of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University.
