A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...
After several years of experimentation, scientists have engineered thale cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana, to behave like a succulent, improving water-use efficiency, salinity tolerance and reducing the ...
That brown, leafless plant you’ve been staring at all winter may not be gone; it may just be dormant. Before you pull it out ...
A ghostly white sprout may look magical, but plant albinism comes with serious limits. Rare exceptions prove nature sometimes ...
Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds. The regeneration process requires the activation of ...
Do you wonder why orchid plants have only become generally available for purchase in the last few years? Tropical orchids are very difficult to grow from seeds outside of their natural environment.
For decades, scientists have relied on a chemical fingerprint inside water molecules to determine where plants get their moisture. The method shaped our understanding of drought resilience, ...
