Tatsuya Nobori brings high-resolution multiomic approaches to plant biology to map how plants interact with microbes on a ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

Similar to humans, plants have an immune system to help defend against parasites and other deleterious infections. The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an ...

Karel Říha’s mutant plants were too healthy. The molecular biologist, a postdoctoral researcher in Texas in the year 2000, was breeding botany’s leading model organism, Arabidopsis, an unremarkable ...

Biologists have discovered how cytokinin activates stem cell division in plants. The mechanism by which the plant hormone cytokinin controls cell division has been discovered -- a breakthrough that ...

A recent study has established a method to print viable plant cells using a 3D printer. Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC, USA) have developed a method to 3D print various types of ...

Climate scientists say we probably only have a little time left before temperatures start to drop to around freezing at night ...
