Plants are consummate chemists, using the sun's energy and carbon dioxide from the air, to conjure a dazzling array of ...

In plants and animals, the NLR family of receptors perceives non-self and modified-self molecules inside host cells and mediates innate immune responses to microbial pathogens. Despite their similar ...

Scientists are conducting extensive research on developing metal-based and carbon-based nanomaterials to improve plant growth and development. Nanomaterials can be used as promising tools to deliver ...

Scientists have discovered a novel biochemical mechanism explaining how immune proteins defend plants against invading microorganisms. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding ...

The word 'biodiversity' is on nearly everyone's lips these days, but 'chemodiversity' is just as much a characteristic of life on Earth as biodiversity. Living organisms produce thousands and ...

Postdoc Peter Kindgren from Copenhagen Plant Science Centre at University of Copenhagen has received an EU Marie Curie grant to examine whether non-coding RNA play an important role in plants' ability ...

Researchers have created analog and digital electronics circuits inside living plants. The scientists have used the vascular system of living roses to build key components of electronic circuits.

Attempts to model form-function relationships for fossil plants rely on the facts that the physiological and structural requirements for plant growth, survival, and reproductive success are remarkably ...
