A research team at Sejong University's Plant Immunity Laboratory, led by Professor Nam-Soo Jwa, has uncovered an important ...

Purdue University researchers found that a subset of epidermal cells in plant leaves serves as early responders to chemical ...

Plant researchers are providing new insights into basic cell division in plants. The scientists have succeeded in understanding how processes are coordinated that are pivotal in properly separating ...

Scientists have discovered how plant stem cells in roots detect soil structure and whether it is favourable for growth. Poor soil structure is a problem in tropical agriculture, where soil becomes ...

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

Most plants can reproduce both sexually (through flowers and seed) but many important crops, such as potatoes and strawberry, are propagated vegetatively, e.g. through tubers or shoots. A new study of ...

"The plant and animal kingdoms were separated through evolution more than 1.6 billion years ago. It is surprising that the interactions between the handful of key genes that control the fate of each ...

New research solves a mystery as to why mitochondria in some plants evolve faster than others. The University of Texas at Austin Evolution is a slow process occurring over many generations, but it can ...

Anyone who has travelled across multiple time zones and suffered jet lag will understand just how powerful our biological clocks are. In fact, every cell in the human body has its own molecular clock, ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life. Cells in multicellular plants and animals are arranged into tissues, organs and organ systems. Cells. Tissues. Organs. Organ systems. And the organism itself.

Plant researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) are providing new insights into basic cell division in plants. The scientists have succeeded in understanding how processes are ...
