Around 4,000 to 5,000 plants are parasites. Most parasitic plants use an organ, named haustorium, to attach to and penetrate host plants to obtain water and nutrients. Some parasitic plants, such as ...

In his botanical laboratory at the University of Chicago, Professor George Konrad Karl Link recently made a discovery which he considered so noteworthy that he sent a report of it all the way to ...

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need ...
