How can the scientific knowledge we possess now influence that future? That is, the FUTURE of Earth and life − of mankind. Can we make choices in the present to change our future? How can 21st century biological research ask proper scientific questions and find solid answers? Addressing these questions is the main goal of Biologia Futura (formerly Acta Biologica Hungarica). In keeping with the name, the new mission is to focus on areas of biology where major advances are to be expected, areas of biology with strong inter-disciplinary connection and to provide new avenues for future research in biology. Biologia Futura aims to publish articles from all fields of biology.

The major aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of juglone (JU; 5-hydroxy-l,4-naph-thoquinone) treatments on the expression level of Catl, Cat2 and Cat3 genes, encoding the respective catalase isozymes in maize (Zeamays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds. In parallel, germination efficiency, catalase (CAT) activity and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content in juglone-exposed...

The aim of the present study is to extend the applicability of MRI measurements similar to those used in human diagnostics to the examination of water barriers in living plants, thus broadening their use in natural sciences. The cucumber, Cucumis sativus, and Phillyrea angustifolia, or false olive, were chosen as test plants. The MRI measurements were carried out on three samples of each plant in...

Drought is one the critical abiotic factors that reduces the germination, growth and yield of crops. Therefore the present project was designed with the objective to screen the best drought tolerant hybrid of Vigna radiata. Genetic variations for drought tolerance among these hybrids were assessed by simple and efficient technique. Seven hybrids of V. radiata (9801, 7002, 9706, 08003, 07007, 97012...
