Scientists may come up with new strategies to engineer crops like corn to help endure prolonged drought by better understanding the novel plant metabolic pathway…
Using a 3D printer to “bioprint” plant cells provides a reproducible way of studying cellular communication. New research reveals a reproducible way of studying cellular…
The discovery might pave the way for the development of more sustainable crops that can withstand tougher environmental conditions. Scientists find that meiotic exit in…
The ability of a plant to re-direct the development of its shoots in the direction of a light source is known as phototropism. An international…
The upper panel shows non-Rabl configuration. Centromeres in magenta dispersed in nuclei in green. The lower panel shows Rabl configuration. Centromeres unevenly distributed in nuclei.…
The researchers are currently trying to find out what causes this improved drought resistance. Researchers from Heidelberg University uncover a crucial protein in a mechanism…

Plants make their own ‘secret’ decisions about how much carbon to release back into the atmosphere via a previously unknown process. New research has revealed…
Global warming weakens certain plant defenses and makes plants more prone to infections. New research helps explain why, and how to help them fight back.…
Scientists believe it likely that the two genes, PEN1 and SYP122, paved the way for all terrestrial plant life. Researchers shed new light on how…
Plants are growing in complete darkness in an acetate medium that replaces biological photosynthesis. Credit: Marcus Harland-Dunaway/UCR Artificial photosynthesis is being developed by researchers to…
Scientists demonstrate that they can control the properties of lab-grown plant material, which could enable the production of wood products with little waste. Because of…
