Boffins hunch over steaming cups of coffee to find HIDDEN SECRETS of caffeine

Posted: September 7, 2014 at 2:43 pm

A crack team of international researchers have revealed the freshly sequenced genome of the coffee plant and, as a result, unearthed interesting findings about the kick ass chemical caffeine.

Scientists found that coffee developed caffeine-linked genes independently of any common ancestor, such as chocolate and tea.

The boffins pored over "a high-quality draft" of the genome of Coffee canephora, which - we're told - accounts for roughly 30 per cent of the globe's coffee production.

They were able to find special qualities in the plant that were distinct from the genetic make-up of other species such as the grape and tomato.

The researchers said that coffee "harbours larger families of genes that relate to the production of alkaloid and flavonoid compounds," which in turn accounts for the strong, heady aroma of a cup of joe. It also explains the bitterness of the beans.

Lots more caffeine-making enzymes are packed into coffee compared with other plants, the boffins said. It carries an "expanded collection of N-methyltransferases" apparently.

But coffee's caffeine enzymes have bigger links with other genes found in the coffee plant compared with those caffeine enzymes commonly found in tea and chocolate.

Researchers were able to conclude that coffee appeared to have independently produced caffeine due to the marked difference in enzymes uncovered in the genome sequence.

Victor Albert, professor of biological sciences at the University at Buffalo, said:

The coffee genome helps us understand what's exciting about coffee other than that it wakes me up in the morning.

Iran's Internet censorship not working Rouhani

TEHRAN, Iran President Hassan Rouhani re-entered Iran's feverish debate on Internet censorship and gender segregation Sunday, September 7, saying neither policy was in the country's interest.

Rouhani was elected last year having pledged to be more moderate on social issues after his conservative predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's eight-year tenure, but he has encountered resistance.

Iran has a policy of filtering online content, which leaves popular websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube inaccessible without the use of illegal software.

Iranian authorities are also often accused of deliberately slowing down the Internet to make many websites harder to access.

The decision of Rouhani's government to approve faster 3G mobile Internet licenses for two Iranian companies last month was seen as a first step toward making Internet access easier.

But he went further Sunday and said filtering was counter-productive.

"Some people think we can fix these problems by building walls, but when you create filters, they create proxies," Rouhani said, referring to proxy servers in other countries used by Iranians to circumvent national regulations.

"This (current policy) does not work. Force does not produce results," he added, in a speech broadcast live on state television.

The 3G licenses decision caused controversy with conservative clerics and officials arguing that video call functions on smartphones could expose youngsters to "immoral content".
