Scientists were able to reanimate a nematode that had laid dormant in Siberian permafrost for approximately 46,000 years, according to a study published Thursday in the journal PLOS Genetics—adding to ...

Q. We were advised against growing tomatoes because of the root nematode problem in Orange County. Nevertheless, over the years, we persisted in attempting to grow tomatoes with little success. The ...

Scientists have discovered a worm that managed to stretch its short life expectancy — by tens of thousands of years. A tiny roundworm was revived after it was frozen in Siberian permafrost 46,000 ...

The ancient nematode has lain dormant in a fossilized squirrel burrow since the late Pleistocene, revealing that these worms can survive for tens of thousands of years longer than thought. When you ...

By contrasting nematode infection with drought stress, the study highlights both the potential and limitations of remote sensing for separating ...

Ok, well a “penis” in male nematodes is actually a hard copulatory spine called a genital spicule–males physically pry open the female’s vulva–but you get the idea. What better way to open a blog post ...

The root-knot nematode (RKN), specifically the southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita), is a yield-limiting nematode present in many Delaware fields. It is particularly damaging to soybean ...

Researchers have mapped the physical organization of the brain of a microscopic soil-living nematode worm called Caenorhabditis elegans, creating a new model for the architecture of the animal's brain ...
