May 28, 2021 —Scientists have described a pathway leading to the accelerated flowering of plants in low-nitrogen soils. These findings could eventually lead to increases in agricultural ...
Sep. 23, 2020 —Genome duplications play a major role in the development of forms and structures of plant organisms and their changes across long periods of evolution. Biologists made this discovery in their ...
Mar. 13, 2023 —Scientists successfully quantified the total reactive polysulfide content of 22 different types of vegetables, including onions and garlic. They also revealed that reactive polysulfides are not only ...
Mar. 2, 2021 —Researchers have found that plant root tips commonly converged to a catenary-curved shape because of restrictions imposed by one-directional and localized tissue growth. Plant roots need to be able ...
May 17, 2021 —For the first time, researchers have identified a gene that controls flowering in cacao, a discovery that may help accelerate breeding efforts aimed at improving the disease-ridden plant, they ...
Mar. 23, 2023 —Scientists have significantly advanced the race to control plant responses to temperature on a rapidly warming planet. Key to this breakthrough is miRNA, a molecule nearly 200,000 times smaller than ...
Dec. 12, 2022 —Researchers report that larvae of the cabbage white butterfly use two gut enzymes to effectively disarm the mustard oil bomb, the major chemical defense system of their host plants. Cabbage white ...
Sep. 12, 2020 —Scientists have found that the tobacco plant Nicotiana can maintain grafts between a broad range of species. Using Nicotiana as an intermediary, they succeeded in indirectly grafting a tomato scion ...
May 13, 2021 —The first frost of autumn may be grim for gardeners but the latest evidence reveals it is a profound event in the life of ...
Aug. 7, 2020 —Scientists succeeded in promoting plant growth and increasing seed yield by heterologous expression of protein from Arabidopsis (artificially modified high-speed motor protein) in Camelina sativa, ...
