Phys.org / How plants make copies of themselves—key 'cloning switch' gene identified
A Hiroshima-University-led research team has discovered a key gene responsible for the initiation of gemma development, acting as a "master switch" to start asexual reproduction (cloning) in the model plant Marchantia polymorpha ...
Tech Xplore / When AI can't count—and what researchers are doing about it
Today, artificial intelligence can describe images, recognize objects, and explain complex relationships. The pace of development is remarkable: So-called vision-language models (VLMs) combine text and image understanding ...
