Chemical reactions on the early Earth may have formed its ocean

Water has made the Earth the planet that it is—a planet known for its blue oceans. Water shapes the land through erosion and is fundamental to Earth's ability to support life. But we have a hard time understanding exactly how Earth ended up with all this water, as the building blocks that created it were

Biologists, chemical engineers collaborate to reveal complex cellular process inside petunias

Flowers emit scent chemicals called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Now, a Purdue University team has published a paper in Nature Communications identifying for the first time a protein that plays a key role in helping petunias emit floral volatiles. Natalia Dudareva, who led the study, and collaborator John Morgan had suggested that molecular processes
