Turbo rice and super tomatoes

https://www.mpg.de/23545900/turbo-rice-super-tomatoes

When different varieties of one plant species are crossed with each other, their hybrid offspring are often more robust and grow more quickly than their parents. However, in the next generation this effect disappears again. New methods make it possible to preserve the advantageous qualities of these kinds of hybrid plants for the long term and to deliberately design plants with four sets of chromosomes rather than two. The techniques should make it easier to breed particularly high-yielding and resistant crops that could feed a growing global population even in times of climate crisis.
But the botanist noticed something else too: the offspring thrived more than their

Transposons: Genes as parasites

https://www.mpg.de/12128789/genes-as-parasites?c=11863376

Parasites exist not only in the plant and animal kingdoms, they are also a part of us. Our genome contains myriad short stretches of DNA that propagate at the genome’s expense. For this reason, these transposons, as they are called, are also referred to as parasitic DNA. Oliver Weichenrieder from the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen wants to shed light on the processes by which transposons are copied – not only because they can cause disease, but also because they may be an important engine of evolution.

Social sciences: Between theory and intuition

https://www.mpg.de/208630/social-sciences-between-theory-and-intuition

What do political leaders need to know about the world in order to be able to govern it properly? And who can and should tell them? This is where the social sciences come into play. But while explanations of past events seem to be somewhat uninteresting for politics, predictions are difficult to make. Nevertheless, we can’t deny the impact and the usefulness of the social sciences.
And what else can they do when, in a highly uncertain situation, they have no suitable

The brain links perception and action

https://www.mpg.de/213204/Mirror_brain

When people work together, they have to coordinate their actions very closely. Wolfgang Prinz, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, and his colleagues are investigating precisely what goes on in their heads in the process.

Portrait of Samuel Young

https://www.mpg.de/5548897/sam-young

In college they called him Stump – as in tree stump – because of his physique and his strong will. Today, former football player Samuel Young is a renowned neuroscientist. Using innovative tools and sophisticated techniques, he would like to find out how nerve cells communicate with one another. The head of a junior research group at the Max Planck Florida Institute is the quintessential researcher. But his career took an unconventional path.
In addition, Young had never been to Germany before, or anywhere else in Europe.

Machines in dialogue

https://www.mpg.de/10359299/cyber-physical-systems?c=19150566

Cyber-physical systems are in strong demand for their ability to increase road traffic safety and optimize electricity consumption from renewable sources. They link vehicles to sensors that monitor traffic and order the car to brake if a dangerous situation arises, for example. Or they distribute electricity from multiple power plants to consumers as efficiently as possible. Rupak Majumdar, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Kaiserslautern, develops mathematical methods for ensuring the reliability of these networked systems.
