Washington, Oct 23 : Biologists have discovered a gene that has a critical role in the ‘double fertilization’ process in plants.

Scientists already knew that flowering plants, unlike animals require not one, but two sperm cells for successful fertilisation.

The mystery of this ‘double fertilization’ process was how each single pollen grain could produce ‘twin’ sperm cells.

One to join with the egg cell to produce the embryo, and the other to join with a second cell in the ovary to produce the endosperm, a nutrient-rich tissue, inside the seed.

Double fertilisation is essential for fertility and seed production in flowering plants so increased understanding of the process is important.

A new study is surely going to make men insecure, since this new study claims that women like spending time on computers than to spend times with their boy friends or partners.

The study brings to light that most of the women office workers spend almost three times as much time with their computers than their husbands or boyfriends. And they don't really mind it too. According to the Harris Interactive survey of 2,000 women; they in fact enjoy it.

There was only one in five women, who reported that they could spend more time with her mate. It seems that these girls were definitely using computers that run on older technology. But rest all said that they enjoy more time on their computers.

Washington, Oct 23: Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that a drug initially designed to treat a form of leukaemia may also be effective against combating the debilitating neurological disease multiple sclerosis (MS).

The findings are based on a study, in which researchers found that alemtuzumab not only stops MS from advancing in patients with early stage active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis 
(RRMS) but may also restore lost function caused by the disease.
